He got 14 last season for an average Lazio side, so I'm sure he could hit 20~ on a regular basis at a bigger club.

The change in fee on a weekly basis is the only downer in the saga. Lazio are either using Pogba as a marker or being greedy like Torino were last summer. Look how that turned out

Sergej Milinkovic-Savic to Pen New Deal in 'Matter of Days' Amid Exit Rumours

https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2796907-sergej-milinkovic-savic-to-pen-new-deal-in-matter-of-days-amid-exit-rumours

Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic will sign a new contract with the club in a "matter of days," according to the team's sporting director Igli Tare.

The Serb was linked with an exit throughout the summer transfer window following an exceptional 2017-18 campaign for the capital club. However, Lazio were able to keep the player beyond the transfer deadline.

It now appears the Serie A side are set to secure not only the future of Milinkovic-Savic, but also star forward Ciro Immobile. Tare was asked about both players signing new deals by Sky Sport Italia (h/t Chris Burton of Goal).

"It's just a matter of days now," he said. "All will be signed at the start of next week. The agreements have been in place for some time now."

No release clause BTW, so this really sinks hopes for Manure, Real, PSG, Barca, Shitty (and us)

I now think it is safe to say we can probably soon pull him from all discussion.

I am really surprised he is staying, BUT, Rome (Milan as well) is so hard to prise players away from, it's a crazy cool place to live, especially if you are getting paid millions of pounds a year to play footie. Look at Nainggolan for perfect example (and Milan being the only city to finally get him to leave Rome).

Rudiger was easier because, in part, (and sad to say), racism in Italy is still pretty shitty if you are black (he has spoken on this before). It is also why I thought we had a great shot at Koulibaly (although naples is amongst the better places for players of colour (still can get nasty though), compared to the north.

I do have to add, looking again at Lazio, I am shocked he is renewing, they have been utterly hollowed out.

IF (big ifs grant you, but certainly was possible) SMS, Immobile and my GK fav target before I found out Kepa was available (Strakosha) had all left

Lazio literally (and I am sure many will argue, but I do rate him to a point) would have had one truly good player left, ONE. AMF Luis Alberto, who most of you will slag off due to his Scouser bust experience (he is vastly better now IMHO).

 

After that you have an immense drop off in terms of quality across the board.

LW Joaquín Correa (could slide up possibly to near Alberto level, we shall see)

then an even bigger drop off

Soon to be 30 DMF Milan Badelj

RB Adam Marusic (mostly known for being attacked by Aleksandar Kolarov for choosing to play for Montenegro and not Serbia, lol)  https://thelaziali.com/2018/09/04/aleksander-kolarov-adam-marusic/

and 2 Brasilian young CB's Luiz Felipe (21) and  Wallace (23) who are hardly world-beaters

being the only others one worth really anything, unless you rate (I do not) CMF new boy Valon Berisha 

None of them are remotely at Chelsea bench level.

I guess SMS likes being a big fish in little pond atm

Just no telling how players think mate. Look at KK staying with the poison dwarf twat because he wants to return the faith they placed in him. These players can basically pick the team where they want to play yet they choose to stay where they are. I can't see that its lack of ambition or scared of movement or even the need to be a big fish etc. I just know its yet 1 more off my wants list. To be honest Ive not actually had 1 join us! Sadness! MAYBE time to lower my goals - but then like you I want domination!

Saúl Ñíguez (but will never happen, sob)

I know we disagree but I would take him over any other CMF on planet, except maybe (and now age comes into play, as he turns 30 in 15 months) Kroos

SMS included, although SMS would be the next one

 

IF we lose Kova (NO!!!) then i would dearly love to rip away Piotr Zielinski from the poison dwarf

I like Zielinski a lot too And I'd be a nutter to turn down Ñíguez But you know what its like when you get a fave player. I loved Cescy for years and even travelled to the cold north London to Highbury to see him. And Savics like that,

I just want the best team we can put together, Dont HAVE to be big names if we can get the team gelled right. Its just Me - I only watch us now so all the players I get to see are against us.

So I rely on clever sods like you to fill me in on whats occuring. And I mean that in the nicest of ways.

I am the same, I almost NEVER go for the biggest star names in my wish list, especially if you have known me for years and have seen me name the same players I do now, but before many were even at top of valuations

THE club I admire business-wise the most, by far, is Bayern Munich, they are extraordinarily focused on having a template on how to run their transfer business, and always fucking end up with many players I adore. They have never once, that I can recall, bought the worlds number one player at a certain position, BUT they sure as hell have develop multiple ones into that position, ie Neuer (at one point) Hummels, arguably, (at one point), Kimmich (now) Alaba (now) Lewandowski (at one point), Arjen Robben (at one point)

Casual footie fans would probably not even have a clue about many of my favourite targets,and I have NEVER, EVER once wanted Messi, CR7 or Neymar on our team. Mbappe, hmmmm, he would be my ONE exception,but it isn't going to happen unless Ratcliffe buys us and says fuck it!! here is 300m quid I don't need, take it PSG!

lolol

I have always fancied KK and Varane, from well before they were the top 2 CB's on the planet, so that's not fair for a person to say I am front running on them

Niklas Süle is deffo not that well known, but would love to have him, same for Aymeric Laporte and my last top 5'er, Marquinhos (pretty well known NOW, not when I started wanting him)

David Alaba is best fullback on the planet, yet most casual fans will not know much about him. Lucas Hernández the same, and REALLY not well known before the WC. Alex Telles still is really obscure, and even Alex Sandro is not a full stop household name (he is getting too old now to buy at Juve crazy price, as you are aware I have said before) Most punters will rant about Marcelo or Jordi Alba

I can go on and on but you get the point, I have very specific ideas of who I like for player targets, I never just go for the obvious, 'OMG! I want most famous player at every position!!' rot like I see and hear daily (NOT on this board, I mean in general life)

I like Sule a lot too. I remember when we were linked to him a couple of seasons ago saying we had to buy him. Conte didn't read it I guess!

And your other 4 too I really like so for me you got the DOF job Mrs!
