So? Option doesn't mean that we can buy him any time we want it. It only works if the player himself wants to sign for us. Fiorentina had an option to buy Salah for X million euros and they wanted to activate the option but Salah refused to sign for them because he didn't want to stay there. After loaning him out many times, recalling and selling him it's likely that Aké is not willing to come back here anymore and we can eat our option.
Well, Lukaku was top scorer in Belgium at the age of 16, then he scored 18 for West Brom, later he scored 50 goals for Everton in two seasons.. This things are so fucking common, they happen like every year. Totally overrated.
Yeah, he is not a teenager anymore but this can be the first time when he can really prove his worth. He scored 25 goals this season and 25 last season, it's pretty much everything one can achieve at Everton. Now is the time for him to make a big step.
It's 5
But yeah, Costa broke in late, just like Drogba. We signed Didi at the age of 26 after one season at Marseille. At 23 he wasn't even playing in League 1.
That's why I wrote 'like'. It was about ten years ago. But okay, it was 8. It doesn't change my point though, 8 years ago that money was insane for Ronaldo, nowadays 70-80 million is not even that special. We just sold Aké for 20 million pounds for Bournemouth. Imagine that in 2009.
You are talking about 2009 mate, it was like 10 years ago. It's like my grandfather complaining how cheap bread was 50 years ago. Things get more expensive as money inflating.
Well, we've been linked with Bonucci and Virgil Van Dijk, also Manolas. After that getting Rüdiger would be disappointing.
Whatever, just don't waste Christensen.
Please don't sign this fucking guy. We haven't even offloaded Costa yet and now we're signing another idiot who fight with teammates and doesn't show up for medicals? I would put up with his shit if he was the next Beckenbauer but he is nothing special. Good defendes but nothing special. Christensen at the age of 20 is a better player.
Looked decent at Porto but every time I saw him in Real Madrid he was like the nerd guy who is always the last pick in school football.
I'd rather pick Aurier, Conti or Sidibé.
Of course they do but it's not that simple. Van Dijk is a top player, he wants to play for a top club and earn good money. Southampton can't keep him forever.
This situation tells everything about Costa.. One of the best strikers in the world but his club wants him out and no team are keen to sign him.. Atletico seem to be the only team that is willing to put up with his shit but they don't want to pay too much for him..
Kante is the ultimate hard worker we need.
Bakayoko will be the muscle guy who kicks asses in the midfield.
Fábregas is the magic comes from the bench if needed.
Chalobah is a good backup.
I think we are pretty much good with these guys. We rather need to strenghten our defense(hopefully Christensen will solve our problem) and buy a new striker and a new winger. I think we shouldn't expect the guy who plays next to Kante to score a lots of goals. His job will be to defend well and to balance Ngolos weaknesses.
Because we don't need a better version of Dembele, we need a better version of Matic. A tall, strong defensive midfielder who helps Kanté out. I don't see how Tolisso would fit in.
Atleti's transfer ban means that they can't register any new player this summer but they can buy. Barca purchased Arda Turan and Aleix Vidal in 2015 the same way, they started playing in 2016 january.
If Atletico really want Costa and Diego is serious about Atletico too then it is possible.
