You can’t rush these things . Well we can’t anywaySo now the agreement on the fee has been made, so we now need to reach an agreement to discuss the transfer details before agreeing to talk to Zaniolo about terms to agree we don’t need him and he’s better staying at Roma?
And yes, we do fucking need a CB. Stevie fucking Wonder could see that much.
Too simplistic mate.If we look at goal difference alone, it actually tells at least me something!
We are 3rd in the league in goals scored, although we don´t even play attacking football. What might have been if we actually played attacking football? It also tells me that our problems are not our front-3 or central midfield. Maybe even not our wingbacks?!
We are at present 6th from bottom in goals conceded, 1-2 games ago we were 3rd from bottom, that tells a lot!!
Below i´ve made a list on what is NOT our problem at the moment if you look at just goal difference alone:
- Our strikers
- Our wingers
- Our central midfield
- Probably not even our awful wing-backs.
What is our problem according to goal difference alone is our Goalkeeping and our centre of defence!
So the priority list this transfer window according to me should be this top5:
1. Centrebacks
2. Centrebacks
3. Centrebacks
4. Goalkeeper
5. Wingbacks
Yeah that's been one of the biggest disappointments of Conte for me.Too simplistic mate.
You're right in that we need better CBs, but when you're getting outnumbered week after week after week in the middle of the pitch, then the tactics have to change.
Teams with much worse CBs than ours have conceded less goals.
I was thinking the exact same thing!! Rewind 12 months and the same things were being said about them using Juve fan forums to drive home the point.I notice Zaniolo being talked up on here the same way Bentancur and Kulu were this time last Year
IF the story is true, i refuse to believe this is Paratici´s work, it just can´t be!!Thought the Trossard agent quote posted earlier was a fabrication but looks like it's genuine.

Leandro Trossard's agent lifts lid on how Tottenham lost out to rivals Arsenal
Leandro Trossard’s agent has opened up on how Tottenham lost out to Woolwich in the race to sign the Belgian forward. The 28-year-old linked up with the Gunners from Brighton earlier in the we…talksport.com
My thinking is that we planned to have as many potential deals in the oven as we could manage and then leave it to the last week of the window where we lead every player and his agent on and then in the end try to get the cheapest deal done.
We are just a joke completely
They are bored already.We're just going to up the bid 20 pence at a time until they just get bored aren't we?

.........And back to MONITORING!!!!Dither , haggle, go away and consider, get close to a deal , reduce offer to ensure it can’t get done , accuse selling club of moving goal posts , rip wires out of fax machine just in case
Window closed having done nothing of significance, relax
Hence the bit where I said:
Talk to me again like that and I’ll find you, sit on your head, shit up your nostrils, turn you into a fruit cake and we’ll all take fucking slices.
Aren´t we fucked???
