Some report's said our offer is around 5M+ bonuses which IF true would be pretty damned good.


Dybala can be for us now what Pirlo became for Juve.
Only that in theory, Dybala should be in his prime now as he is 28. Pirlo, although still great, was past his best years when he left.
But I agree. Getting a player like Dybala for "free" is a no brainer. He also fills a need for us. Not only position wise, but also in terms of creativity, 1v1 ability, execution in front of goal, etc.

On Ziyech, I'm not very sold. He is a quality player, but I want someone more explosive and a lot quicker than Ziyech. Don't get me wrong, in the final 3rd he's miles better than Saele and Jr put together. So, not gonna complain if he comes.

Would you take a risk on someone like Pepe? EPL hasn't suited him and linking up with some old Lille boy's might help him.

He is hard one to consider if he will recapture his form or if Ligue 1 was his limit.
Just a recap with two of our player's

Gabbia will only leave if we get another CB since now Romagnoli is officially a free agent , this makes sense. Sampdoria wanted a right of redemption.

Colombo is moving to Lecce on loan with option to buy. Milan will have a buy-back clause.
Smart move. Colombo started last Serie B well then didn't score since December, same as Lucca.



Romagnoli and Kessie are now officially free agents.
BTW, it seems Scamacca MIGHT actually end up at PSG.


How would you all feel about Icardi AND Dybala?

Both can be whining little shits, but on their day not many teams could stop them.

But will they have that day enough? How had Icardi been in PSG ?
Maldini contract extension was made way more dramatic than it needed to be. Hoping he has a reasonable explanation (not that we deserve one as they are Champs of Italy). Also the pressure is on to now really produce a next level team with this Mercado.

I’m not sure why everyone here is all about Dybala. Without Kessie next season, we are more susceptible to being attacked. Dybala isn’t known to press well. Maybe this aspect of his game he can change, but the injury worries he can not. We need a Rebic like player, but with more skill and without frequent injuries, in that role to effectively take this team to the next level.

Icardi in the other hand would be fantastic. He would stick it to inter AND have an axe to grind in general to show he is a good player. The main problem is he brings ten times the drama of a maldini extension.

We signing Icardi is more dramatic than Inter get Hakan (please not compare with Maldini Big Grin )

I like your idea Icon_lol2

Colombo is a good striker. I'm happy we have a buy back option.
Another aye for Dybala.
Would be a big boost for us.
And send that Diaz kid back to Madrid, enough of this mediocrity.
Dybala is an upgrade at every technical area from Diaz.

Not impressive approaching that way, but I welcome him with 5M wage.
