I think we need a fresh start here.

We're back in the CL. There are some glaringly obvious holes that need to be filled in the squad

It's going to be an exciting summer. So what do you guys think should be the first moves to be made by the management?

Apparently Inter are doing exactly what I would have done if I was Marotta: sell Lautaro (for 80M even) and sign Depay on a free.

Krunic to stay for next season as well. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

The alternatives to De Paul are Djuricic and Ilicic. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/puke.gif)

I hope Paolo and co. know what they're doing. Names like Giroud, Ilicic, Gomez etc. are very disappointing to be linked with right now.

Agreed.

All these old has-been names we're linked with scream of desperado Galliani era. I'm sure Paolo doesn't want to go down that road though

I think we've all learned over these last 3 transfer windows since Paolo took the reigns that the press aren't really privy to what is going on. We tend to sign players out of left field rather than the ones we're constantly linked with.

Re Depay. He's probably going to Barca. Inter Need to sell 2 players for that kind of money to really recover imo. Their depths are astronomical, not to mention they have no liquid cash to actually operate. Case in point the unpaid wages. Selling Hakimi only is not enough imo

De Paul looks like he's going to Atletico atm. Sad, but I can't see us splashing 40m on a single player after having just signed Tomori for nearly 30m. We'll have to wait and see. This all depends on what type of budget we have.

Pleas let this be true.

If this is true, I'd go back to the table with a 4m offer. We hold the power now, not him. Then sell him when the time is right. This summer most teams are set in the GK department, but I'd rather keep him than let him walk for free which is what's going to happen currently. Even getting 40m for him would be huge for us as all of his transfer fee is a plusvelanza since he's a youth product

Giroud has renewed with Chelsea.

Let's take this as a sign to sign a proper striker and not the next has-been.

EDIT: Looks like Chelsea exercised the right of renewal only to avoid for Giroud to sign for an English club. They are willing to release him in case of offers from abroad.

We'll see. Giroud is the only player that's acceptable for me from the list of oldies we're being linked with



Papu looks like h's staying where he is btw, and the Ilicic talk has cooled down thankfully
