Only how it would look on PSG's FFP budget, but not ours.

EDIT: double post.

We are NOT utd. We are nowhere near as big as united are. Sorry, but it's ridiculous to even compare.

On a different note, we just hit 35 loaned players with Colckett and Jake Clarke-Salter to Bristol Rovers by my count (which frankly might well be off by one or two).

Am I the only one who doesn't want Rodriguez?

Bloody hell, how does Courtois manage to make statements to the press about EVERY fucking thing??! Ffs Conte hasn't commented about it yet. The club hasn't even announced the signing! Boy sure loves to talk...

Obviously everyone is coming here for those 'sultry Russians'!

Let's hope he does better than the last two left-backs we signed! Welcome to the family, Marcos!

He's got the ability to become even better, imo.

Bonnuci is actually INCREDIBLY similar to David. Ability and technique on the ball way above defenders level coupled with a knack for brain-farts and school-boy mistakes. Granted Bonnuci doesn't make them nearly as much as Luiz, but trust me, he makes them too!

This all mental and exciting but fucking hell, did the club have ANY plan at the start of the window or even last week? We look like we're bidding for every possibly available option on the market!

Couldn't shake the feeling all week that this transfer window feels somehow incomplete, and I just realized why: I haven't read a single Hulk rumor so far!

Juve managed to get all of Cuadrado, Pjanic, Benatia, Higuain, Alves and Pjaca and still make a profit in the market! Amazing window they've had.

Pretty optimistic about this signing. I actually have higher hopes for Alonso than I did for Baba and even Luis. That's not to say that he's a better player than Luis, but I think he's more equipped to succeed here.

Someone unlock the deadline day thread, you lazy bastards

No, that's literally a different Milan! You do know he plays for Inter not AC, right? Please tell me you're not making all this fuss and you don't even know what club he plays for? Listen mate, it's really a simple argument that stands true 99.99999999999% of the time: It is incredibly unlikely that bench-warmers from mid-table teams can improve our squad. I can't think of a single bench player from any mid-table EPL team that I'd like to see us sign, certainly not for 25m. Can you? And that is certainly true for Serie A teams as well. FFS the guy is playing second-fiddle to Gary Medel and we are bidding 25 million for him!

I watch the Serie A weekly being a Juve supporter. Obviously I don't watch all Inter matches but I've probably seen him more than most on here. To me this is like us being linked with say Claudio Yacob. Sure, he can be a decent player and has even played for Argentina, but it makes less than zero sense for him to be linked with us. He's just not at the level required to make a move to Chelsea.

I think this is probably the best chance he'll get to prove himself in the premiere league. Burnley play with 2 up top so the pressure will be less on him and he won't have as much work to do. I think he also has a good chance of displacing one of their current strikers or will at least get a shot at doing so. And the expectations aren't very high so it'll be a lot easier to surpass them. I think Patrick has already exceeded expectations in coming this far and even being in the EPL, so let's hope he does so another time and prove that he's not just 'a good championship striker'.

I'm sorry, "world class"? What we are debating is whether or not he is a decent enough player to add anything to the team, even as a squad player. I don't think he is. If Conte needed an average central midfielder in the squad he could have given a chance to Pasalic who showed some glimpses at Monaco or even given another chance for MVG instead of paying 25m for someone who is not far ahead of either. I even thought that the plan was to give a chance to one of our own in Chalobah. 'Conte knows best' is not really an argument. Great that you trust him, but I'm here debate my and other members opinions and that's not an argument that's just a deflection tactic.

My 'lucky I don't fucken smack u upside the head' is what? Also, you've never said it before to say it again, you talentless and much uglier version of Ryan Lochte.

I'll say it again: In terms of ability he is our second best player behind only Hazard. We WILL badly regret pushing him out without getting a replacement of the same caliber.

Just remembered why I never click on transfer threads. Most things I read on the past couple of pages are so detached from our reality it feels like I've gone into some parallel universe! FFS, Brozovic can't get into the XI of a mid-table team in the fucking Serie A. This is the kind of signing teams like Sunderland make, not a team aiming for a top four finish!

Course they are. We are reportedly giving them 25m for a player who is not in any way remarkable. That's a lot of money in the Italian league.

I wouldn't take Icardi over Michy, let alone Diego. Handanovic is good, but obviously no where near Thibaut.
