Vegetable 830 Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 I hope Boehly or rather his staff have a plan in place and control of the situation, as for now it looks like we are being a tiny bit fooled from every side possible like a bunch of kindergarten kids Vesper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YorkshireBlue 3,295 Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Am not that bothered about getting Raphinha but tbh I'd love us to just chuck another 10m at Leeds just to piss Barca off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a bit unfair. Joe Cole actually got relegated for West Ham but he did ok when we got him. Andrew Robertson got relegated twice yet look at him now.

Jesus christ he doesn't worth that value agreed, he is not a $63.5m player at this point my whole interest in him was when I thought he was in the £40, 45m or so (£50m max) range there are no wingers actually available NOW, this moment, who are worth that, especially given contract expiration issues on some Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have signalled to everybody and their dog that we are desperate to sign an attacker and another cb for an easy 150m. Honestly, we should pack it up. This is amateur hour. Just stick with what we have if we can not get established players and our scouts are too dumb to identify alternative targets. We are not gonna compete for the title anyway, so why not give Colwill, Dujon, Conor, Broja a chance. Ake is not any better than Ampadu, let alone Colwill. Even the point "at least he does not block Colwill's path" is BS. Why spend 50m on a squad player then? We could get N'dicka for 10m who is 10 better than ake and would not block Colwill's path either, if he indeed is good enough. Also Raphinha does not look to dissimilar to pulisic except for managing to stay on his feet longer and get injured less often. Same number of non-penalty goals as well, similar career scoring record too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mário César 1,326 Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 (edited) Is a lot of money... my point is that He can show level, but not to worth this type of money in a club that has many financial problems besides barcelona is much bigger than Chelsea and robertson go to a shit liverpool and not to a barça Edited July 10, 2022 by Mário César Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clockwork 1,794 Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 I am quite weary of buying CBs who play in a 3 CB system, hence my concerns with Gvardiol. Hence i would prefer Kounde. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vesper 30,272 Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Inter CEO Beppe Marotta does not want to make a deal for Milan Skriniar with Paris Saint-Germain at a fee of any less than €70 million. https://sempreinter.com/2022/07/10/inter-ceo-beppe-marotta-wont-accept-less-than-e70m-from-psg-for-skriniar-as-strategy-to-sign-both-bremer-milenkovic-italian-media-report/ This according to today’s print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, who report that the Nerazzurri executive’s strategy is to monetize the sale of Skriniar to the greatest extent possible so as to fund moves for Torino’s Bremer and Fiorentina’s Nikola Milenkovic. Skriniar’s sale now looks to be looming as talks have heated up during the past couple days between Inter and PSG, and the Nerazzurri await the Parisians improved offer. The French champions are ready to get close to Inter’s asking price, but it remains to be seen exactly how high they go. Marotta wants at least €70 million from the deal, which he would immediately put towards defensive reinforcements Bremer and Milenkovic. For Bremer, the Nerazzurri are ready to make an offer worth €28-30 million on a loan with a purchase obligation, whilst they could also send Cesare Casadei to Torino on loan, and value the 19-year-old at €7-8 million. In addition to Bremer, Inter would also want to sign Milenkovic as a like-for-like replacement for Skriniar, and Marotta wants to ensure that they can complete a deal for him quickly once the Slovakian is sold.

DDA 9,983 Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 (edited) For me, Todd should be going full force on trying to get Skriniar over any other CB. That guy is a beast. I was dead set against Kimpembe because he was apart of the defences that have been humiliated in the CL BUT I see PSG fans praising him... saying he is a fantastic CB.. then again, I'm not sure they realise what a good CB is... not like us. 😄 Anyways, fuck paying that kind of money for Raphinah, he really isn't worth a penny more than Sterling that is for sure. Sterling has serious resume... Raphinah has popped off a few Joga Bonito skills in a super attacking Leeds side and everyone has fallen in love with him. The question is, who now... who do we go for now. Surely we must dip into the market for a striker .. Ronaldo.. Lewa.. Isak.. Even Felix..I feel Felix would be ideal for us with Sterling and Odoi/Puli on the wings. Edited July 11, 2022 by DDA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To play good, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
