Thor 2,699 Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 I mean - I don't think there are all that great options out there atm, particularly in the areas we need. You can force moves, but as mentioned, you can't turn around an 18 wheeler in one move. All of you made fun of Arsenal as they lumped it for a while, but given time and patience to put in place what they were trying to do, it finally worked. We try for CL this season, and just focus on playing better football and more to the template that Potter has put out. Can't ask for much more this season. Some exciting signings if possible - great. If not - wait until next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not - wait until next season. we need to pull the trigger NOW on a bloody RB plenty out there to choose from Denzil Dumfries (main issues: price, plus he might have 'no CL' issues, plus will want to be the starter, and that is not happening once Reece is healthy) Pedro Porro (assist machine, tracking to 20+, £39.7m release clause) Malo Gusto (19yo with huge potential, and si already a starter all the time) Matty Cash (EPL proven, great athlete, can run for days, I am fine with thsi, I did not think Villa would even think about selling) Jeremie Frimpong (can play winger) Joakim Mæhle (can play either side) Juan Foyth Iván Fresneda Nahuel Molina Vanderson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vesper 30,162 Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Inter to Receive Final Answer on Milan Skriniar Extension This Week https://cultofcalcio.com/inter-to-receive-final-answer-on-milan-skriniar-extenison-this-week/ With the Nerazzurri quickly running out of time to renew the Slovakian international, Inter will not have to wait much longer on Milan Skriniar’s final decision. As it stands, Inter have offered a 6.5m euros per-season plus add-ons for the extension of Skriniar, with the Beneamata showing no intention of raising their offer despite many European giants monitoring the situation. According to reports from FcInterNews, Skriniar’s agent has confirmed that final response to the offer that has been on the table prior to the holidays will be adressed no later than the end of this current week. So far this season, Skriniar has played a tremendous role for Inzaghi’s side, accumulating 23 appearances across all competitions for the Biscione thus far. With Milan Skriniar’s contract set to expire in the upcoming summer, Inter could be forced to lose the 27 year-old on a free transfer ahead of next season as they show no intention of offloading the star stopper in January regardless of his decision.

NikkiCFC 8,317 Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 So Inter paying Lukaku 7.8m full season. We pay Felix 11m half season. They are both struggling. Fernando and Mhsc 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDA 9,937 Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 (edited) Must be a secret agreement for Lukaku to go Atletico Madrid in exchange for Felix at the end of the season if all goes well. Otherwise this deal is just stupid. Edited January 10, 2023 by DDA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lluubbeenn 173 Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 The only logic I can see with Felix is that he will play in the Nkunku role. Whatever it may be in GP eyes. He reminds me of soo many failures and looks fragile mentally. Hope I’m wrong on the second part. Vesper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pulisic - can't rely on being fit Sterling - has been bang average so far Havertz - not sure what he actually provides Auba - we get what we deserve for signing an Arsenal reject Broja - out with long term injury Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was a £75m-£85m perm buy, and not a loan, it would be a WILD gamble. I just cannot grasp the vision of what we are trying to do. IF I had my way, my vision is 4 3 1 2 GK Oblak or Meslier CB Gvardiol (backup is Badiashile) CB Skriniar back ups are Fofana and Trevoh (Thiago has retired by the time this entire lineup is gelled) LB Chilwell (would love to pinch Nuno Mendes from PSG, but that is a pipe dream likely, maybe Zak Sturge blows up) RB Reece DMF/Deep Lying PLaymaker Enzo OR, if we fail on Enzo, Bruno Guimarães CMF/DMF Hybrid Caicedo CMF Box to Box Manu Kone or Carney AMF No 10 role Arsen rotating with Omari, right behind the front 2 CF/SS Nkunku CF Osimhen IF we go 3 across the front and drop the box to box MF, then Osimhen CF and Nkunku and Moukoko behind and wide, plus Diaby in the mix Edited January 10, 2023 by Vesper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,141 Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Felix offers flair, someone who can beat a man, draw someone in and be direct, we have nobody like that. Oh and he can finish better than anything we already have. I'm not against it, in fact anything is better than nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Lot of reports saying we are after a wide player, I hope Zaha is miles off any list. Would be such a shite signing, one of the pettiest and most overrated PL players of the past 10 years. But it does scream Potter and Boehly all over it, doesn't it?
