Moretto: Reijnders has completed his medical tests for Man City. Deal details: €57M+€14M bonus. Easily achievable bonuses until €65M.

Harvard school of management. Congrats to Furlani for his negotiation skills.

Maybe it’s a good thing Trump is putting restrictions on foreign students to Harvard. Keep those teachings a secret!

I doubt you can learn that... that's natural born talent...

Maybe I am not being rational, but if it was up to me, I would insist on the price (I think it is 20M pounds/24M euros now?), and tell Chelsea to take it or leave it. As for Maignan, tell him that if he doesn't renew or transfer, we will play him for the first half of the season and send him to the bench for the second half of the season.

@Sampinjon: I just realized that both VMS and Svilar are Serbian, but neither of them are in NT? I saw on Wiki that Svilar has 1 cap only, and VMS is also not currently called up?

Can you offer some insights? Do you think either is good enough? Should we just be bold and go for some other Italians (especially our own youngsters)?

Selling Rejnders for that sum, although arguably still low considering the quality of the player, is sensible financially. But selling Theo and Maignan for 10-20m is not even worth the time. We are better off just telling them to stay one more year and play it out. If they play poorly, they won't get the big lucrative contracts they are seeking even as free agents next year. Absolutely no reason to sell on the cheap just to say we got something for them

Still no contact with Liberali for a contract renewal. We sell or best players in the first team and hold off on renewing our younger players. This whole organization is a dumpster fire. Liberali will leave, I’m very confident in that, we will ruin Camarda as well and will be left with no present, and no future. Well done RedBird you fucking joke.

VMS and his brother SMS both have feud with head coach and both don't play for NT. Svilar tried to blackmail FA ("either I'm going to be first choice GK or I'll switch for Belgium") He got response "good luck with that". Then he indeed tried, but got rejected by FIFA because he already switched from Belgium to Serbia. You're allowed to make just one switch during career if you played for both nations, which he did. Have 1 cap for Serbia and some young caps for Belgium.
I guess instant fame got into his head and he thought he's a superstar for which Serbia and Belgium will fight for or I don't know... but he screwed himself... I see some speculations that Milan wants him, but keep this situation in mind... is it really personality we want?

Liberali is too Italian for this management. 

Same goed for Coppola, central defender from Verona. He’s close to brighton for 11m. 
If Coppola was a dark skinned player with french roots we would be all over him!

Thats actually true, Belgium dislikes him for that and same goes for serbia now.
Same happened when he was at Anderlecht, he wanted to leave the club at very young age because he demanded first team football. He made too big a step up joining Benfica, and his career was in a slump, only to come alive again 2 years ago at Roma. 
He’s a very talented keeper but his Character (and father) are not trustworthy.
