If Atleti get Theo, I'd be really interested in what happens to Lino. Great LB (especially offensively), who'd push Udogie to his limits.
1 year left on his contract, and the old Milan guard has issues with the management (Theo, Leao, Maignan). That's why all of them will most likely be sold.
The new AC Milan management sure seems like they're totally dismantling the club, what the hell is going on there?1 year left on his contract, and the old Milan guard has issues with the management (Theo, Leao, Maignan). That's why all of them will most likely be sold.
Also, if we're willing to spend +£60M on a LW like Semenyo, fucking try and go for Leao for the same price.
Leao hands down far far far better than that Bournemouth overrated1 year left on his contract, and the old Milan guard has issues with the management (Theo, Leao, Maignan). That's why all of them will most likely be sold.

Ibra and his idiotic ego. Whatever Maldini built he's ruining it in 2 years. One of the worst things to happen to Milan.The new AC Milan management sure seems like they're totally dismantling the club, what the hell is going on there?
On the flipside, Atletico Madrid are so smart, I am always impressed with and jealous of them. That's what we could be if we got our shit together.

Been saying this since he was at QPR.
Yeah sell Romero for 50m because we can't meet his demands, and then spend more than 50m on a younger player who has the potential to one day maybe be as good as Romero. Horrific cycle.
Free transfer though. Even we could figure out a way to fudge those figures.
Heck, we could sign him for free on higher than average wages and flog him in a year for a profit.
That's more than he's worth IMO.
I'm not totally unwilling to consider buying him, but the price should be reflective of the player we've seen in England, not the hype from two years ago.
Club was bought in a dodgy fire sale for £2.5bn plus £1.5bn to be invested in the club for the stadium. They have spent close to £1.5bn on players so wonder if the stadium money has just been thrown at buying player assets. They are supposed to be a profit making investor company but Clearlake Captial has a ton of Saudi money so can’t tell if it’s just a Saudi front company.
If they are looking to make money and the £1.5bn has been spent on players we should see a slow down. The Chelsea sale was one of the most dodgy things ever, cheap value with the condition of massive investment driven by the U.K. government. The U.K. government literally supported a football team getting £1.5bn investment, corrupt as fuck.
I think with Johnson, Maddison, Kulusevski, Richy, Solanke we have enough finishers. £70m is high but we don’t have his profile in the squad. The alternatives are WillIams or Leao which is unrealistic or Dibling who isn’t ready.
I was really unimpressed with Bissouma's last two seasons, but I'd be willing to give him some time under Frank, as he bossed a lot of the games I saw him play for Brighton and there is something there for sure, He hasn't really earned it but I like a good story arc.
I buck the trend and actually rate Johnson for who he is - and he, if deployed correctly as you said, can have a big impact.
Same goes for the most part for everyone. I don't think people can have it both ways - and that isn't to say we don't need reinforcements but i think writing players off when you feel the manager was the biggest issue is a bit absurd.
