Summer mercato 2021

Based only on this match alone?

Rennes bought him for €26m in October 2020. I'm sure they wouldn't want anything less for him. Not sure how well he did in his first Ligue 1 season, but 2 goals in 37 matches.
Lukaku voodoo?

Zlatan will be happy

This guy has a ton of talent though. Look at the speed, dribbling and body control, he has all the tools to be a major star. This is the kind of player where you can sign him for 30m and then in a couple of years he's worth 70m. Worth keeping an eye on.
The more I watch Italian national team, the less I want us to sign any of its strikers lol. Immobile is not a striker fit for this level of competition. Belotti is even worse. The midfielders though, we should scoop up as many as we can.

Absolutely, was just about to write this!

Immobile is a decent club level striker, stinks at European and international level.

Belotti is just a lumbering 2nd division striker with a very limited skillset. Should really be playing in Serie B with a Torino that deserved to be relegated. Would rather get Lapadulla back then waste money on a Belotti.
Italy pure class.

Verratti and Jorginho are just immensely good and under-rated. They put De Bruyne totally in their shadows in terms of midfield performance. The Italian league doesn't have the big money but they're sure showing how under rated their players are. Far better than anything else Europe has to offer I'd say - and for that we should be buying Italian ASAP.

that Doku guy is a baller - someones going to be buying him. Understand it was one match but Italy defence has players like Lukaku in their pocket, yet simply couldn't deal with DOKU. at 19 years old I'd buy him in a heart beat from what I saw. Speed and dribbling is insane
Doku was immense, but no chance that we can compete with all the others who will have him on their wish list. But he really have a special talent. No doubt.

I think we should keep an eye on Zuber from Switzerland. He was a real menace down the whole left wing especially against France. He play for Frankfurt, and our good relationship could maybe give a good price. He could be a really good back up for Theo. Enormous stamina, good pace, good teqnique, grinta. A lots of good qualities.
Spinazolla out with tore Achilles. Ouch! That is an awful injury, especially for a full back nearing 30. Hopefully Emerson can pick up the pace because Spinazolla has been outstanding this tournament

Zuber was good I agree - could be a good pick up.
Side note - despite what a f*cker Dollarumma is, he has been pure class this Euro. Big saves and making them look easy. It's really a shame we have lost him but there's not much we could do.
