The Rumour Commode XLI: Ragnarok

What about Gundogan? Is he off the table ?

Gundogan we can't

 

[papaberlu]

He was on the list last summer for some time

 

[Swagotelli]

Barrella, bastoni and the empili lb

You can’t even name the empoli lb and he is supposed to be among the top in the world? Barella, Bastoni are good but not amongst best

You don't give 6M net to a "squad filler" my friend. You leave the table and never look back.

If I was SD I wouldn't go beyond 4M for Thuram, and that's already a reach I'd be willing to lean into because he's free and because of Decreto crescita.

6M tho, in Serie A, is a super star wage you give to Leao, not to the young shot of the year from Mönchengladbach.

I don't doubt that... But the comment about "long shot", are these quality of players now long shots because we didn't get them?

It's that statement that I'm interested in... I wouldn't pay the calibre of free agents rumoured 5/6 million. But the quality we're linked with, are they really long shots?

If that's what people think, that these guys are long shots, that's not saying great things about the standard some feel we deserve.

People jumped all over these free guys, new management were doing great... Now folk aren't being closed and their long shots?

It's just all very interesting, how all the different camps view things and spin things.

Making any of these free agents amongst our top earners is silly... And losing them too Aston Villa, a little embarrassing... But folk have been creaming their pants over these free agents and the thought that new management were geniuses for getting them...

Anyways....

Tiel on a 5mil is a no no.
Kamada on 3mil is much better.

Say hello to Chukuwunkies .

You sound like old Sam making excuses

 

[DeNiro]

Every fucking window we are linked with ismaila sarr, he's like the new baselli

 

[papaberlu]

Too many Chucks linked to us.

We should have foreseen this when Moncada was put in charge

Gonna be dealing with a lot of difficult to pronounce and spell names this summer

We're paying Leao 5m+2m in easy bonuses, though?

i think it only relates to base salary and regarding leao most likely a trade-off as he could easily earn more in england.

i'm not even against a salary cap. it keeps the salary costs at a healthy level and prevents us from doing stupid things like paying thuram and tielemans 5-6m.

 

[Khurrisu]

Signing Kamada is interesting.

We're basically signing Maldini's target.

It's as if Paolo knew what he was doing.

Would be funnier if Moncada signs Arnautovic too

I need to stop wishing for Camarda to debut and then start scoring like 50 goals a season and put up like 1950's striker numbers for like 15 years straight.

Lol if you think Camarda’s good wait til you see JADID (new Benzema)…

In a few years even lemur-esque teams will snatch free players from us.

Joking aside, I don't believe redbird has 2 in house analytical teams just so we could be in a bidding war for transfermarkt's top 10 bosman signings, goes for the baldanzi's of the world as well.

Incoming players will probably be unknown & undervalued.

 

[Kojak]

Kamada & Camarda - the marketing opps are ENDLESS

 

[DeNiro]

Milan will meet with Chukwueze’s entourage this week

[@DiMarzio]

 

[voom]

Unpopular opinion: Marotta is 3 levels better then Maldini.

Team assembled by Marotta plays Champions league final ,and won Coppa. Team assembled by Maldini only got Champions League spot ,thanks to Juventus punishment.

 

[DeNiro]

I bet a PL team like Brighton will sign chukwueze before we can

So we're basing moncada signings on weird names?

Sure, it alligns with Pierre Kazeye Rommel Kalulu Kyatengwa and Oluwafikayomi Oluwadamilola "Fikayo" Tomori.
But what of cdk?

Marotta really has done an incredible job

Every year he has had to sell a core player with a minimal budget to replace said player

Yet they continue to be competitive

If true then I would expect the quick unknown moves we did a few years ago ..... lately the only time that happened was Devis.

I will give them a few weeks to get up and running and see if they can execute or things will be more like the past few windows.

Pioli has him on speed dial for after the final I'm told...
