Ricci + Xhaka + Modric + Jashari would indeed be a midfield overhaul.
Add to that Fofana + RLC (assuming he's staying after Tare's words), and it's a solid group. Not sure who replaces Reijnders's role in terms of attacking output. Don't know enough about the Jashari kid, but apparently he's more of a "regista"? Modric and Xhaka have never been big goal contributors, while Ricci operates from deep as well.

If we're getting Ricci, I don't think we need Xhaka. They are very similar players and operate in the same space. I like the depth we would have, sure. But I do think we would also need an attacking profile out of midfield. Ideally, RLC is moved on and replaced with an attacking minded midfielder. But not too hopeful of that after Tare made it seem like he's the second coming of Seedorf.
Modric, Xhaka, and Fofana all have more assists in them. Maybe Jashari as well; but, I haven't really seen his game. We can maybe make up for Deer's goals with a midfield providing them to our attacking players more efficiently. The totality of what Deers brought to us though is hard to replace.

You forgot Morata's fancy little salary (€8.32m gross).

As for everything else - you'll need higher quality trolling if you want me to respond. :lol:
That stuff is 4 / 10. Boring.
No, I haven't forgotten about morata's 5m per year (I'm talking net for simplification, but gross is much worse in comparison of the players)

Morata played here for.. 6 months. Contributed 6 g+a for an approximate 2.5m euro salary worth. Origi for a 20m euro salary, contributed 3.

Origi is a sunken cost of 20m euro, while Morata was bought for 12m, has not been on our payroll for half a year (and won't be for a half a year more at least with fenerbahce having the option for continue the loan) and is pending a potential sale.

Having a 20m comulative salary for 3 g+a, compared to a 2.5m relative salary for a 6 g+a, is a thing of horrors

Do you really want to compare the financial/sporting transactions of Morata and Origi?

Also, I understand you're referring to trolling as to minimize the counter argument, but I haven't trolled/attempted to troll once in this exchange

"There have been and are no negotiations with Milan for Xhaka, nor do we have any compensation in mind. Granit is a very important player for us"

Glorified Gokhan Inler bro.

We get to focus our funds on sticking it to Stephanie

I really really want Jashari. But >35M + bonus is a delicate one, NGL.

Xhaka on the other hand just makes so much sense on so many levels and he's not even a gamble. Perfect signing in the perfect moment. No downsides whatsoever. Just fucking do it.

Is she getting nervous that they might actually lose him?
Sounds like cope.
And if he really does like that abomination, he'll be perfect for getting under opponents skins.
Straight up going into tackles shouting "Pineapple Pizza!" :taphead:

We will get Lorenzo Lucca, possibly on loan with option to buy, to play as a sub for Gimenez
Also to placate Ibrahimovic who wants him because Lucca reminds him of himself I guess

Don't expect any top striker to come here

Morata to como makes good sense, actually

Fabregas obviously knows Morata very well from La Roja, morata seems like an emotional player that needs extra motivation in order to perform, and como is probably his only chance at playing top flight football after his interview towards our management, who won't take him back (at least willingly)

Como seems to be a group of youngsters who need veterans to lead the squad, and for a 4 year deal on 13m euro transfer fee, we only need 9.5m to break even.

Hopefully they don't improve too much and continue to take our scrubs.

Como our high end fodder and Monza the rest.
