I know Nunez finishing is meme worthy , but he’s not a bad option - has a very high ceiling and can cover ST and rotate for Leao at LW..

If we are keeping Leao .. no one will really get space at Lw and only more okafors will happen..

Our best option is some one who can start in another position and rotate for Leao if he’s injured/out of form etc

We could certainly do far worse than Darwin..

Darwin runs the channel well , holds up well , can dribble and does score some wonder goals..

Darwin and Leao in the same team , while it doesn’t fill me with too much confidence due to their inconsistent nature.. it can be a fucking deadly duo with their sheer monstrous physicality..

Would fit in with Allegri tactics too

We still all falling for the 2-3 names a night DiMarzio rumors eh?

Our roster is already at 50 after all his links as of June 12th
It is actually stunning the amount of bullshit links he comes up with every window.

It feels like he's never on the inside of any story, and that he just leverages his name to say whatever he wants. Naturally his importance and relevance is diminishing every transfer window, but it will carry on for many more years.

Biggest club in Italy, it pays to talk about them. Even negative reactions are better than none. All pub is good pub.

But I genuinely can't remember him breaking a story for a long time. It used to be all the time, and now it's a rarity.

Who said anything about doing well. I merely said wait and see what they do with the money.
The player you are pining for they bought so they did at least one thing right.

And as for Mike and Theo - fuck them truly. They fucked themselves with their poor play for seasons. If they played to the level some of you laud them then they would've gobbled up renewals. They have been just as inept on the pitch as the ones at Casa Milan.
And I'm saying I think they'll do fuck all with the money? Granted they got Tij but they also fucked up everywhere else. So you can wait but I'll pre-empt it saying they won't do anything.

And nah I don't buy that bollocks, for years we have been hearing about how previous management didn't renew on time. Regardless of form this season, flip the script these idiots messed up both renewals and now people are surprised Mike and Theo are playing the club. If you want to be ruthless expect your staff and players to be the same.

I find it a bit strange that there are plenty of rumours about Vlahovic and Retegui but hardly any about Osimhen. Surely he'd be the better option, and he isn't wanted at Napoli.

Moretto - Conte has eyes only for Suzuki as his future goalkeeper for Napoli. The problem is Parma wants 35M for the player.

Is this where RnB does a complete 180 and talks about how great a keeper he is, and how we're idiots once again for not going for him...? You know, after spending a week shitting on our mgmt for wanting him

Osimhen has a release clause of 75 million and a salary of 10 per season, and we can't afford to spend that much money on one player. My guess he'll end up in EPL.

If Napoli buys Suzuki it will mean that they won't renew Meret, who everyone rates above the Japanese keeper, backs-up to Dollar for Italy, we can then get for free.

Many of these rumors make no sense at all, are not well thought out, and Suzuki is not that great, make some spectacular saves but also lots of mistakes. According to TMW Meret earns 2 million a year and he's close to re-sign with Napoli for 2.5.

He's turning down salaries of 20M+ from the saudis and the turks.

Unless he's a true hero who would be ok with 5,6,7M....
I doubt he would lower his salary after scoring 26 goals in Turkey, he'll probably want a raise instead.
We have to lower our expectations and while OSI would be awesome at Milan he's not a realistic target for us.

If it was anyone but Moretto, I'd agree. But if I can say with all my heart that there is one person who doesn't spew BS for clicks, it's him. His track record is truly impeccable.

But ya, it seems an odd fit, but people seem to be crazy for Suzuki

The other day I read that Allegri likes Perin in goal, not sure if to start or replace Sportiello. Basically, everyone that has played for Allegri at Juve is someone we want. It's the worst season ever for so-called transfer experts that just throw stuff against the wall and hope it sticks.

We get all worked up about this guy or that only to learn that we never approached club, agent, or player. It's tiring, frustrating: we want Ricci, then we don't, now we're after him again, who knows what the truth is. I'm actually down on Ricci, hasn't played as well as the prior season, so if we do end up with him hope Allegri can fix him.

Moretto - Napoli has also requested information about Darwin Nunez. No negotiations, but they are keeping informed of the situation.

.... Unless I'm mistaken, only GDM has mentioned Milan and Nunez, Moretto saying it's Napoli.

Vlahovic, Nunez... better keep Timmy and Jovic ffs
Jovic fine.

Tammy - no way. All those Chelsea rejects should leave except for Pulli.

Vlahovic is really overrated imo. Doesnt deliver, makes a sport out of missing sitters. Looks clumsey, stumbles on his own feet. Scores against Lecce and goes insane - making his point and then continues to shoot blanks - and still acts like a diva. Rather have Nunez.
