Its one hell of a ride! Almost never seen this before. Credits to our management on this. Especially of we also sign Ricci in the summer. Too bad that it wasnt possible now.
But we’re still a little thin in midfield, we aint got an extra player, we got Bondo instead of Bennacer. And if chuck also leaves we gonna need a replacement also, will that be Sottil !?
What about this Bondo? Any opinions?

I will get excited about all of this action if 3 things happen:
1. Gimenez starts scoring goals at a Giroud pace or better. Not really sold on him as I think he’ll turn out to be another Piatek.
2. We get a CL spot. I said before the season started we wouldn’t get one and so far I’m going to be correct.
3. We actually sign Ricci in the summer. I feel like so much money has been spent the last 2 transfer windows that Gerry will cut the budget short in the summer.
Regardless, good for the management for trying to actually improve the team. But imagine Maldini and Massara got this kind of budget

It's not. You don't wait last minute to admit faults. This is all circumstantial. Sell before buy. If garbage collector truck didn't visited us, we would not have any of those signings we have.
It's worse. They were prepared to leave us "fine as we are" in case no-one was sold.
Avaiting for arrival of exorcist into our boardroom.

This is wild.
Think so. Especially if it's truth that Calabria is gone, Walker has to be one of the three, because Royal is injured till April.
Gimenez and Felix, I doubt they would sign if wasn't guaranteed to play CL.

Done deals: Joao Felix, Bondo and Sottil.
Kessie type of player, No? Hope we can make a good DM out of him.
I’ve seen him play some games and he was good in those, strong player, wins a lot of duels.
I think we got Sottil to play on the left in our 4-4-2 setup, as the hardworking left midfielder. Cheap deal, and only an option to buy so no risk there, can be useful. Someone for depth
Also a good deal for Zeroli, as he didn’t get minutes here. He’s a talented player IMO, so interesting to see how he will do at Monza
