Not even Inter's best centre halfI've seen him described in this thread as one of the best CBs in the world.... If so, why on earth would Inter want rid of him?
Are we factoring in that this was something like his 7th game (and he's played most of all of them) in 30 days - in July (eg hot).
I haven't done a full Hojbjerg v Brozovic trundle assessment, but even if it's close on trundle, he's a fuck of a lot better with a football and more press resistant IMO.
Edit, I also think Brozovic is a better reader (of the game, not literature).
not really milik is the better player by some distance but Wilson for 10 mill is a no brainerApparently Juve are in for Raul Jiminez. Could free up Milik, but it’s a toss up between whether him or Wilson would be better.
I reckon we won't get any of them.Apparently Juve are in for Raul Jiminez. Could free up Milik, but it’s a toss up between whether him or Wilson would be better.
True. The games changed. Chelsea & utd showing signs of intent & ambition with big spending but no one expects them to win the title. That's how much things have moved on. You need to keep spending just to avoid going backwards.Agreed mate, hence why some of us would love new owners and to be taken over by a super power. Seems the only way now to gain real success.
Apparently its a disadvantage. So expect city to finish mid table next season.You just can’t compete with that can you. City can just sit there and throw 41 mil at Bournemouth without flinching. We will never compete with this unfortunately![]()
Shades of Gazza!He seems to be on his way out:
Report: Brozo raging in emergency room | Football Italia
According to ANSA, local police had to intervene to calm down Inter midfielder Marcelo Brozovic, who was reportedly raging in an emergency room last night. Brozovic has been writing headlines for the wrong reasons of late and ANSA reports another incident with the Croatia international being...www.football-italia.net
If he doesn't want to leave he could be pulling a Zlatan when PSG were courting him. He did not originally want to leave Milan so he kept making wilder and wilder wage demands to make PSG pull out of the deal. Problem was that they just kept accepting them and eventually he felt that he would be stupid to not accept.According to Di Marzio, we are having difficulties with Skriniar´s wage demands - which I find interesting.
He´s supposed to be paid 1.7m per year at Inter. Of course, he´d want a raise if he is going to a top Premier League club. And from Levy´s perspective, would also make sense trying to accommodate the new player for less than the 200k per week we pay for Ndombele
Still, 1.7m per year is less than 40k per week. Between 40k and 200k, in normal circumstances, I think an agreement could be found.
However:
1 - If we are offering reasonable money, but Skriniar is going crazy in his demands, I´m not so sure we should sign him.
2 - That´s why such deals are so rare. Too many variables.

One big reason why much touted Tottenham Inter Milan swap deal is unlikely to happen
The one reason why Tottenham might not be able to pull off the Milan Skriniar Tanguy Ndombele swap deal is that Spurs can’t seem to meet the Slovakian’s wage demands, according to Gianluca Dimarzio.theboyhotspur.com

We're lucky the Newcastle deal fell through!True. The games changed. Chelsea & utd showing signs of intent & ambition with big spending but no one expects them to win the title. That's how much things have moved on. You need to keep spending just to avoid going backwards.
There are quotes from Skriniar saying he would like to end his career at Inter Milan, etc. But I think it´s also about his wage expectations going to City or United. He could be asking Tottenham what the richest clubs in England would pay him.If he doesn't want to leave he could be pulling a Zlatan when PSG were courting him.
