We are cooked for next years also, this is what it means.

When we are linked with Vlahovic that means we are cooked.

 

[MonteCuler]

The interest in Vlahovic seems to be genuine

I think at the end he will be what we get

Again expecting Flick to work miracles with bums and squeeze the last bits of football they have in them

Only this time I'm not quite sure how much "football" there is

Is there even any other european club interesed in him? Maybe the turks

For finished players/players in decline at bottom of their career, top destinations these days are: Saudi, MLS, Turkey aaaaaand FC Barcelona

 

[MonteCuler]

Although truth to be told Vlahovic did show some good performances for Juve this season

But sample is too small, to expect him to make some big change. Will probably be like another Ferran, wildly inconsistent and bodied vs every half good opponent

He is one of them ones.
Best in the game

Sign him up. No brainer.

 

[Porque]

He will only miss 19 games this season.

Sounds perfect for us.

Matteo Moretto said Barca is eyeing a young CB in the next window, he said he will reveal the name(s) in the next few days. It could be typical bs, but he is fairly reliable.

The "young" CB that were mentioned in the media before were Luka Vuskovic, who we practically has no chance to get, and Konstantinos Koulierakis from Wolfsburg .

There was also the rumour about El Chadaille Bitshiabu being offered to us.

 

[serghei]

I see Luka Vuskovic is a Tottenham player, and that they got him for 12m or smth in 2025 from Hajduk. Are we really this retarded that we can't do our own homework?

Why didn't we know about him and got him from Croatia directly?

We were interested and got outbid iirc. It is always difficult to warrant splashing 12M for someone before he is in first team.

That's where scouting department is supposed to step in. If you can't afford to spend 40-70m on a ready made player, then you have to pay up for the bigger talents and cover the development yourself.

Selling clubs aren't stupid. They have their own internal rating of young players, and the better talents won't be obtainable for dirt cheap. Same old story, better quality costs more almost all the time. At every level.

Its Marvin Young from Ajax.

We need a LCB this winter. Loan deal or a cheap transfer.

Ideal universe. We would have lapped up this Senesi guy. Might cost us 20-25m.

Then comes summer. There are a plethora of Free agents to look into.

Hopefully, the 1:1 rule is done with.
Ship out Arujo for 15-20m.
Similar to last summer, some clubs should be in for Fermin. If its upwards of 50m, we should consider selling him.
Lewa leaves. Mats leaves. Christensen leaves.

Rashy - 25m + variables. He has to reduce his salary by 2-3m at least.
LCB - Senesi, either free or 20-25m if we go for him this winter.
RCB - Konate free. Dont think Madrid or other big clubs will be for him because of his performance. We have the option.
LB - Vitaliy Mykolenko or Mingueza. Both free, should be of similar wages.
RB - Vanderson - 20-25m.
CAM - Brandt, free.
ST - Vlahovic free. Dont like this option. Ideally would not have gone for one. But since rumours have popped up, keeping it.

5 players leaving.
6 new players coming in.
Amount of salary being freed + transfer expenditure should be enough to accommodate the new players and FFP should be fine.

Ya I know we Deco is lazy, and we don't move like this. But next summer, the quality of Free agents is very good. And if we don't capitalise on it with our financial situation, it means we will never do well during a transfer window. And we have an election too.
Next summer will be a test for our Board/Deco/Fatporta

If you can't afford 40M players, you can't afford 12M prospects. It is as simple as that regardless the strength of your scouting department.

Being broke affects those chesp signings equally to the expensive ones.

There are no scouting in the world that can guarantee a sure thing, and you can't have two or three players that cost 10M+ with no resale value in hope someone will ve a success, all while being barely able to register a 25M GK.

Deco has been trying for the high end talent since he arrived, it is just not feasible with our limitations.

We still do decent deals, Roony was great one so far, Gerard Martin is worth way more what we paid for, Faye & Pau were sold for far more money than what we bought him.

But at some point, it is unfair to expect every first team need to be covered by a 16-19 years old, whether it is La Masia or signing
