Krunic, Samu and Conti out should give us a bit of a cushion to make a signing.
Also, the Romagnoli contract situation has to be resolved. He has to sign an extension or be sold.
I like the Florenzi news. Better then Dalot for sure. And Utd's requests on Dalot were insane anyway. He did not play well enough to cost a fee. He didn't play well enough for us to even buy him outright. So another loan + option (maybe an obligation under certain individual performance related things) was correct. Glad Maldini has called it a day on that and moved to Florenzi.
I'm holding out hope for a loan for one of Barca's outcasts. Coutinho played no part in the Juventus game. A loan could be possible.
For the RW, Ilicic is fine to split time with Saele. Not ideal. But I just don't see us having money for anything better then that. I'm hoping Saele really picks it up this year. He has good attributes. But he totally loses his head in the attacking 3rd. That was also the case against Real. Good work, hard work in midfield....then shits his pants when it came time to make a good pass or combination play in the attacking 3rd. Almost always resulting in a loss of possession and killing the attacks.
What happened with the Adli kid btw? He's still in Ligue 2?
And with all the Pobega rumors going on....we'll need another CM.
