Despite everything, I'm happy Hakan left. I never really valued him. His inconsistency and inability to step up in big games were big negatives. His vision was mediocre, his passing was just OK, his dribbling ability was pitiful.

Yes, I know his stats were great, and I know it opened up a big hole for us to fill, but maybe that's all for the better cos we're obligated to sign a quality replacement now.

In other news, I heard we've made an official offer of about 6-7 for Kaio Jorge to get him immediately. I hope we get him.

Agreed re Hakan. Such a frustrating player as he can be so much better if he actually applied himself. I think the 4 months or so we saw from him post lockdown were the best we were ever going to go from him and even though he was really good for those few months. We need more to be successful going forward




Re the transfers. I really do hope we're saving the best for last and we're just tying loose ends now. We cannot go into next season without the starting AM and that extra DM

If we sign Kai, Vlasic and Ziyech...that would be so awesome... okay, I'm going back to dreaming.

Apparently this guy is full of it so probably nothing to it


Things have slowed down. I'm getting anxious about this AM situation as well as that DM slot. I read somewhere that we'll have Juve, Inter and Roma during that month (haven't really looked in-depth into the fixture list) that we'll be without Kessie and Benna... That 4th mid has to be someone good enough to mask the blow losing those 2 will be

Playing the African Cup in winter is ********.

Most consistent rumours right now are about Kaio Jorge, although different sources say different things.

One source I read said Santos want 10, we're willing to pay 5.

Another source said Santos may accept 4, but we want to pay 2.

Go figure...

I think we'll get him...We have all the cards in our hands...and they probably don't want to lose him out for free.

Sources has it Pioli informed Maldini he would like Berardi as the wing player. It is up to Maldini to convince Elliot. Deal could be done via loan w/option to buy

I really hope this does not happen.

I personally don't rate him, and being a star at Sassuolo is the best he'll do. He won't make it in a big team, he's too ponderous and slows down play too much. Not the kind of player we need.

I've never been a huge fan of his, but these Euros cemented this for me.

We need to sign that AM ASAP. I really do not care about the RW right now anyway, it should be at the bottom end of our list of worries when we don't have a backup for Kessie who will be gone for a month in Jan/Feb and we have crucial games during that time, and we don't have a starting AM either, the hub of Pioli's system.

The name of Dortmund?s Brandt being mentioned. Very underwhelming.

At this point everything seems to be just the media pulling names out of their @sses so they can report something

I don't think anything is going to happen until the last 2 weeks of the window.

We're most likely going to try to sell some players first

That's some mighty fine ice we're trading on. Leaving everything for the last couple of weeks doesn't only imply we have no plan and resources, but it also increases the risk of making last minute panic buys.

Quite disappointed in our management. Capanoglu's replacement and the RW positions should have had the upmost priority in this window, yet we're almost in August and nothing concrete is on the horizon.

We're even losing Kaio Jorge to Juve because we can't be bothered to spend those measly 4-5M that would make a difference. What a joke.

I agree that we shouldn't leave it so late, and not just in terms of the business aspect of it but any new players should have some time before the season starts to get familiar with the others and the system. I don't like the fact that we'd be going into the season with a potentially new player for such a key role with no pre-season under his belt

At this point I can't really be that arsed about the RW. I am much more worried about the AM

I do think we still have money left over. We're the only Serie A side who has actually spent money. So this says a lot in terms of how well this management is doing in terms of running the club and getting us out of the deep hole we were in 2 or so years ago. Obviously we're not going to see big money moves. Which is probably why we're going to wait to the end. Clubs will be willing to do business more during that time. Especially if players are pushing for the move as well.

Re Kaio. It seems like once again, all the media were spewing BS on that one. Apparently his contract is not running out this January. So all the hypothesis for that move that the media were constantly peddling is just incorrect. He'd cost more than the quoted amounts being thrown around.

And it looks like Juve can't even close for Locatelli atm. So let's not assume that they're going to actually manage this one either. And Locatelli is someone the actually desperately want but they can't come up with the money

And this is the best run club in the league, who have their own stadium and have had consistent CL participation for the last decade. Once again, the fact that we've spent nearly 60m this summer cannot be disregarded

Hauge close to Eintracht 12-15m the numbers being mentioned

I really do hope we add a buy back to this.

That being said, he wasn't going to get the time this season unfortunately so better that he goes elsewhere.

I really do hope we send some of the other promising players out on loan.

One of Gabbia or Kalulu should be loaned out. Same goes for Pobega if we get the extra DM

That's true, but don't forget the fact that clubs like Juve, Inter and Atalanta already have competitive rosters. Whereas we really lack a couple of key players to be considered competitive.

I'm not going to ignore the RW position because that's a key role that's been lacking in the last couple of years. Alexis is just as good as Brahim, no better. So, if we need a superior AM to Brahim, we also need a superior RW to Alexis.
