But it is dependent on their upcoming presidential election. #CFC ( @Millar_Colin ) I have lost hope we will be able to arrange any satellite club deal before start of next season… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly earlier, bookies made him favourite to join City, however now they have put Arsenal front of queue again... Is that really all that surprising? He could be guaranteed starter for Arsenal, possibly captain sooner or later (they're more than happy to listen to offers for Partey and even Xhaka has a move to Bundesliga) or he could be a rotation option with Pep and be there for the trophy collection.

Same with Christenesen. It was Marinas fault for letting it drag out, but the turmoil around the club nailed it. Think you're forgetting that Christensen declined the 5 year offer from the club...

Superblue 6,372 Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 4 hours ago, Pizy said: So is Strasbourg going to be our Vitesse basically? A place where we can send a bunch of our young players to get experience at a high level? It remains to be seen just what sort of relationships may be developed over the long term but I would assume the multi club setup that looks to be created will operate in similar manners to the Red Bull group given that Boehly/Clearlake took a keen liking to that setup this time last year. The easy thing to look at is farming players out on loan to these clubs but if done correctly, it should be far more than that. It's already been discussed in media pieces that the multi club model will operate with data sharing. This could be a massive positive for a club like Strasbourg, or Rio Ave in Portugal who have also been discussed. Being able to access data, whether it's scouting, medical, coaching, etc that is likely to be amongst the best funded in world football should help in the long term to find these clubs an edge and establish themselves further. Ultimately you want these clubs to kick on and becoming bigger and more competitive as this will allow themselves to attract better calibre of players, particularly younger players who need a platform at a competitive league to develop before what should be considered their 'big' move. Ultimately if it's anything like Red Bull, in this situation we should be first in queue for any of their best players at a reasonable, competitive price. Given French clubs are usually a good proving ground for young, African talent, and likewise Portuguese clubs with South American talent, the first two clubs we look like adding to this structure should in theory be solid additions which can hoover up a lot of young talent across two continents that are almost impossible for English clubs to buy directly from due to work permit regulations.

He will probably mould him into a centre back no, he will be a MFer, probably that new Stones role or he will spell Rodri of some sort of double pivot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dimmas 131 Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 (edited) 8 hours ago, Pizy said: If Inter are THAT bad off financially why are we not going SUPER hard at Barella? And even Onana? If Milan can be forced to sell their life long Milan fan golden boy Tonali because they need the money then surely Inter aren’t in a position to say no to a huge offer for their midfielder? true, is actually that impossible to push very hard for Barella, even around 70-75 million? Barella could be very awesome addition to our midfield, like a dream player. Barella is a unique, he is a workhorse with a lot of quality on the ball. Just imagine Enzo and Barella playing together in the same team. Just wow And if you combine that with an agile, combative, hardworking defensive midfielder like Lavia, our midfield setup would be even more formidable and incredibly competitive to any other midfield. Picture in our mind some possible midfield lineup like this: Enzo - Barella Lavia Add it with some youngsters (that still have some future here )like Chukwuemeka, Casedei, and Santos as backup options, our midfield would be incredibly exciting.

If we haven’t already sorted Caicedo I think we’ll miss out now. Us playing the patient game with him will probably bite us in the ass here. Better go to Inter and offer £80m or more for Barella. yes! Blue Armour 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Armour 4,448 Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 1 minute ago, Vesper said: yes! Our dealings with Inter have been...weird to say the least. Never gave a serious look-in for Skriniar last season, and not really linked with Barella. The one thing I hope Boehly & co. improve upon is lining up a plan B or plan C option in case plan A doesn't work. They tried to act quickly with Ugarte, but have taken their foot off the pedal since. Maybe the reason for the slowdown is primarily to do with FFP, and they will up the ante with Caicedo next month, but if that also falls through, I hope they act quickly with other options like Barella.

I (as is surely well known by now) prefer Barella over Caicedo anyway, I have wanted Barella since his Cagliari days I do rate Caicedo as well though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
