I'm not a doctor, but I know as a fact ICU capacity is the determining factor in opening up or closing down.

All those that enter will be vaccinated. Whether that is 100% or 30%.

What Italy, Spain, US, Vietnam, Australia, UK, etc respectively decide is tied to their Healthcare system's ability to coup with another wave and/or a variant such as delta.

Again, I'm not a doctor to decide this. But this much I do know.

I have a PhD in virology, and you know more than me ;P

It really has been surreal with this covid, not sure if our lives will go back to normal next year or the year after... Until a medication is identified, seems like it's here to stay

Vaccination helps a lot...

It's just about being reasonable, you know. Packing 80,000 people in one stadium is not so reasonable. Children also should be vaccinated as soon as possible. I've worked on molecules against COVID, we're hoping they can help with the symptoms, but it's not straight forward to pass to pre-clinical assesment.

Adli and isco would be a very decent overall market and hopefully enough to get top 4

Not too sure about Isco, he just seems like such a passive player who is happy riding the Madrid bench, not to mention he's no where near what he was 3 years ago.

I'd prefer James over Isco if it came down to that or Coutinho. Isco for me would have to be the last resort

But that's the point, the statistics show that people who are vaccinated and still contract covid don't end up in the ICU. That's the goal and it's why stadiums should be fully re-opened to those who are vaccinated

Yeah. True, but this is not the problem. The transmission is still happening and could catch on to non-vaccinated people outside of the football stadium. What UK are doing is highly irresponsible IMO, and almost all scientists have called against UK policies.

But going by that we're never going to return to normal because this thing is here to stay. It's why it is important to get vaccinated and at this point go out and live your life. That's what I have done. And yes, children need to get vaccinated ASAP. The only worry for me is the scary amount of people who are refusing to get vaccinated. Just blows my mind

Wow, that's great!! I'll be calling you Dr. William from now on (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Not true Han, my cousin of 28yo was vaccinated two jabs of pfizer and ended up in ICU for a week.

You can never be 100% in this.

I didn't say that it is impossible. I said the numbers were negligible. And that's my point again, sure you can have these very rare cases, but the point of this is not overwhelming the healthcare system. And Vaccines have assured this.

[han2503]

It looks like we're close to signing Bakayoko now, which does not exclude Adli according to Di Marzio...

And we're also in talks for Pellegri from Monaco


I honestly don't understand WTF we're doing now. Going for another midfielder and this Pellegri kid who has spent 2.75 of the 3 years he's had at Monaco on the treatment table. All of this when we a re desperate for the AM. And there are basically no concrete links to any attacking mid right now. I am honestly worried now. We have 11 days left to go. That AM spot MUST be filled with someone competent and not a kid (Adli/Diaz).

We cannot go into the season without an AM, without a RW it's acceptable now that we have Florenzi as well even though I knew this would happen when we let Hakan go. We could not fill both position, hell, we're not even sure we can fill just one of the two atm...

So far, I like all the moves we've made, all sensible and with the objective of strengthening area where we were thin in. But to not make the one key signing we needed to make once Hakan was allowed to leave would be negligent on the management's part. And god forbid we have to switch to a 4-4-2 because of this


One other thing to add is that Kessie, Bennacer, Bakayoko, Tonali, Adli and Krunic for 2 spots is just overkill. Someone else has to go

We still have to get either Bakayoko or Adli first, so let's not jump the gun.

The AM situation is worrying, to say the least. Playing 4-2-3-1 with just one alternative, who was a sub last season nonetheless, is beyond absurd. I get it we don't want to spend beyond our capacities, but it's in emergent situations like this that a sacrifice must be made by the ownership. Otherwise, we seriously risk ending 5th-6th again...

F*cking Capanoglu man, his treason is seriously going to bite us back in the @ss. I still can't fathom the fact that he's earning only 500k more than what we offered him this coming season.

It looks like Bakayoko is practically done and we're close to this Adli kid as well.

I'd say Bakayoko is at 99% chance of happening, Adli more like 65% chance of happening.

Plus Adli can play in a more advanced position as well so he makes more sense for us than Baka at this point

What I don't get is that we've spent all the money to strengthen the depth of the squad but we won't spend to get the one crucial player to connect all these dots? Makes absolutely no sense that we're spending so much time on all these midfielders when there is a huge gaping hole in that Attacking mid position. It makes absolutely no sense to go into the season with just Diaz.

Let's see what they do this last week, we've seen things start to ramp up now, clubs will be more desperate to offload certain players (looking at you James and Coutinho), players who are pushing for a move will most likely force it now and clubs don't want unhappy players on their roster (Vlasic, Berardi)

Lots of opportunities will come up this coming week, I am hoping and trusting that Paolo will push for the one last crucial move to complete the puzzle

If a proper AM is brought in, this will have been a 10/10 mercato. If no AM is brought, I would have to lower it to a 5.5/10

[han2503]

Di Marzio saying both Pellegri and Bakayoko deals are practically done. Will most likely be concluded early next week.




Now bring in an AM Paolo! I beg of you!

Pellegri injury history

This kid has only played 23 games in the last 4 years. Most useless signing ever.

[X-Offender]

You know what's irritating? That even though we laughed at how Inter dismantled their squad by selling Lukaku and Hakimi, not to mention Eriksen, they already replaced them with Dzeko, Dumfries, Capanoglu, and they're being linked with the likes of Thuram, Correa and Insigne to complete their attack. This from a club that's in severe financial distress.

Whereas we can't even fill one position that's insanely vital to our gameplay. Ridiculous. I hope Paolo proves me wrong, but insofar he hasn't.

[Fillipo Simone]

Agreed. And for little money might I add as well.

And they started Serie A with Hakan scoring and making an assist.

I fear Pioli is seriously considering starting with a 4-4-2 formation. This all could be a disaster if we don't sign some quality players.
