any idea why liverpool are selling him? one article says they wont pay more than 18m for him so its clearly not financial

oh apparently he wont get a contract extension?

He is in his last year of contract and hasn't renewed I believe. They offered him contract extension but he hasn't accepted it.

because Liverpool is getting Thiago Alcantara

why not get Winajldum instead of Vidal? Winajldum-Eriksen-Barella could work

Liverpool is my other team. Liverpool will not let Wijnaldum walk for free. Do you want pay for another 30y player. Don't we have a huge sum to pay in amortisation in salary for players we don't want. Wijnaldum is a good player, but nor what we need.

A midfield of Barella, Vidal and Nainggolan satisfies my/our fetish for violence and there's also plenty of skill in there to create plays, keep the ball, and score goals. In a game vs Juventus, these 3 could turn the pitch into a killing floor with a level of intensity that those fucks would not be able to match. Make it happen.

I prefer Nainggolan, Vidal & Brozovic. Asian tattooed drunk with mohawk, South American tattooed drunk with mohawk and European tattooed drunk (no mohawk though). Together, they'd blow away other teams midfields with their industry, and breathalyzers with their blood alcohol level.

Well, we'd probably sell the 'Bad boys of Inter' 2021 calendar pretty well if we had that.

Brozo is the type of twig that when at a bar/pub, he'll look at you and slur "WhAt aRe YoU LooKin aT ?! "... Then see stars when you bitch slap him back in time.

this x1000, but barella with his thumbs up aint making the calendar.

We could do all of barella's bookings, for a calendar for 2021-2030.

Bad Boys midfield would be very entertaining I wont lie. Hope we can balance it out with some creativity from Sensi and Eriksen though.

Bad boy midfield when playing away.

Good boy midfield (Sensi, Eriksen) when playing home.

Story says that during the years he was literally invincible in Croatian camp.

Cards, darts, pool ... you name it, he's the champ.

He even owns the Epic Broz Bar in Zagreb.

@Universe's comment reminds me two teams in the past when I see the term of "bad boys"

The first was Wimbledon FC from the First Division (now we call it EPL) last of the 80's. People used to call them "The Crazy Gang" while Vinnie Jones and Dennis Wise were fucking their rivals in the ass.

The second was Detroit Pistons from NBA between last of the 80's and early of the 90's. Bill Laimbeer, Rick "the butcher" Mahorn, Isiah Thomas and Dennis "the worm" Rodman, of course. The real Bad Boys...

You know what I mean if you old enough.

Brozo's dick gets to training 30 minutes before the rest of him.

I don't think there is realistic chance to get Kante. If they sign Havertz they'll need Kante more then we do.

That's also my impression. They don't have in their squad someone who could replace him and also no other rumours for replacement. Plus I believe they don't have a money problem. They were off the market for more than a year, they sold Hazard for 100m last year, they are now in CL again. The money is there.

I still think after Vidal and hopefully N9 stays, we should go after Locatelli. With or without selling Brozo.

Keep Brozo, get Locatelli. How expensive is he?

Locatelli, Brozo, Barella, Nainggolan, Vidal, Sensi, Eriksen - that's a quality roster. Though I think Nainggolan ultimately won't be here. It's just leverage at the moment.

Sassuolo asked for 40m from Juventus.

Sassuolo asked for 40m from Juventus.

And it worth it? I saw Locatelli only a handful of games and he was good. In 2 years at Sassuolo he developed a lot. And he is 22yo. In 5 years the amortisation is complete. We could have a core of Hakimi, Bastoni, Barella, Lautaro plus Locatelli for years to come, without amortization. That' s allow us a huge room to improve the team further.

But the question is: has Locatelli such a high ceiling? Reliable midfielder for a team who supposedly want to fight for scudetto and CL?
