Someone we don't need and shouldn't buy, but Sarri seems to want him like he wants his next pack of fags, so there's that.

At thsi point I have almost no faith that we are going to come good in this window. We will just have to roll with what we have. The new rumours of the club being sold would explain a lot.

Grim, never heard of him and just sounds like additional dead weight we don't need

Has been linked a lot lately.

doesn`t excite me but same could have been said about the only other time we signed a Uraguayan and I ended up loving Poyet.

Always like reading what fans of the clubs players we're linked with think. Juve fans are happy to see the back of Higuain and weren't terribly bothered about Rugani going for a large sum. Inter fans on their forum are actually laughing and begging us to take this dude off their hands.

If he's a target Sarri wants I trust him, but yikes. When a side that's a level below us like Inter currently are want a player out and won't miss him at all that's a bit sketchy.

I fully break it down here (including 20 options (some are too late, already transferred to other teams) better (most far better) than Vecino).

If Youtube clips make a player look way better than he actually is, then he's in trouble.  Is he even an upgrade to Bakayoko?  Rather just keep Drinkwater, at least he's HG and we've already paid for him.

Well, Vecino can control a football and seems to be able to complete simple passes so he's certainly an upgrade on Bakayoko. 😂

This just doesn't make sense, though. Unless Baka & DD are both off which seems unlikely. At this point if we are indeed after another midfielder it would need to be one who is clearly head and shoulders above Barkley/Cesc/RLC like SMS/Pjanic/Thiago. Vecino feels like a player we'll be looking to sell on in a couple of windows.

We need to put an end to these stop gap signings. How do we go from SMS, Thiago or Pjanic to him?

Because we were never in for SMS, Thiago, or Pjanic.

So we've spent almost two months after an average Inter player?

Think this has the signs of Marina's last minute shopping spree all over it

I'm not sure we've been after Vecino for 2 months.  But, I highly doubt that we were anywhere near SMS, Thiago, Pjanic.  We possibly asked "how much?".

I'd be surprised if we didn't show some interest in at least 1 of the 3. 

 

 

Just saying if that is the case, the drop down in quality is staggering.

I guess it depends on your definition of "interest".  By Chelsea standards, we have "interest" in lots of players.  Players that we have been monitoring for years.

I'm of the mind that more that most of the stories are out there to incite a bidding war (SMS), or a new contract (Thiago & Pjanic).  The Pjanic one made no sense.  He's a DLP, he replaced Pirlo at Juve.  We were linked with him right after signing Jorginho.  

I think we were really close to Alisson, but got beaten by Liverpool which would have seen Courtois out.  I think they've been working on alternatives since then.  Vecino seems to have come up because Sarri's had more time to see Bakayoko and he knows Vecino.

And you are surprised WHY MATE? You know what she does. A manager tells her or her peon that he need a ACM, lets say he tells her Savic She trotts off finds out what he actually does and falls on her arse at his value. When sge get her head together she goes to Whoscored and finds a cheap replacement for him.  But  in her non footballing head they have the same strengths and she thinks shes the dogs bollox cause shes saved £70mill and got the same position player.

And it wont change any time soon till our whole transfer system does and we get a DOF that understands the crack.

WTF happened to Ballack?

I live in hope that after 4+ windows, she might have learnt a thing or two. Roman needs to decide sooner rather than later what he wants from the club. 

 

Are we just another business venture now or a club wanting to be amongst the best once again. You can't have it all, even though our two league titles have masked that.
