Best Overall PosterNot yet. There's also the negotiation about Nainggolan with Cagliari and the situation with Moses. There were also slight rumours about Gervinho but it seems Pinamonti is staying.

Inter won’t sell Milan Skriniar to Tottenham on last hours of #DeadlineDay. No agreement, no fresh bid after last one [€35m] turned down. Also Spurs sources consider the deal ‘off’. 
️ #THFC #Spurs
35M??? Were they for real. Id laugh in their face and tell them to fuck off.

10 years of FIFWe’re really going to start the season without a decent 4th striker or a starting quality LWB again, two of our biggest faults last year. Brilliant.
Assuming no further acquisitions, 5.5/10 mercato, and it only gets a passing grade because of Hakimi, who is to me what Aouar is to Revvv
.
Vidal and Hakimi are excellent buys, Radu is better than Padelli, and Sensi might as well be a new signing. But failing to get rid of Asamoah, Ranocchia, Dalbert, Joao Mario, Perisic, Nainggolan for ANY kind of money is a fucking travesty. Particularly when also bringing in Darmian and Kolarov while fucking off Godin for free.
Well, at least Skriniar is staying. Grande Levy.

I agree with you except Ranocchia out. Rano was the best backup CB for us. No complain, no problem, and always perform whenever he play. Just like Moses.
I never agree Pirola as De Vrij backup, or Bastoni at the middle. Sell Ranocchia after Godin out is one of the biggest mistake will cost us Scudetto.

Swapping Pinamonti with Gervinho would be one of the most idiotic decisions they could make, bordering on self-sabotage. I sincerely hope this doesn't come to fruition.

is it really that idiotic? It would reportedly be a loan and we give Pinamonti a chance to play instead of rot on the bench and we get a short-term solution from a player who could be useful from the bench thanks to his dribbling and pace.

I wouldnt mind it. Dont get me wrong, i dont have a high opinion about gervinho but he would be more useful for us than pinamonti who i dont rate at all.

Callejon - Ribery looks devastating on the paper.

FIF Special OnesHe does bring pace and dribbling which we are sorely lacking in attack. We should have gone after Keita Balde really.

Best Football PosterBest Overall PosterAccording to Sky, Joao Mario loan move to Sporting is done. SportItalia claim there's an interest from Hertha for Nainggolan.

He does bring so much dribbling you're going to curse him for dribbling so much and losing the ball in the end instead of passing.

First of all, Gervinho is a fucking awful player. You guys are mad about Lukaku missing some sitters, well you haven't been watching Parma. This dude only scores against us.
Second, Pinamonti has similar physical characteristics and playing style to Lukaku. Is he as good as him? Absolutely not, but at least he has the characteristics to be his sub. With Gervinho we would be just like at the beginning of last season, where we had only Lukaku and then two Lautaro subs in Sanchez and Politano, except Gerv is even worse than Politano.
Third, he's fucking 33. We have enough grandpas in our squad. He was being courted by Benevento for fuck's sake, that's his level right now. Do we really need yet another player who's unworthy to wear our glorious zig-zag/picnic towel shirt? At least give Pina the chance to prove himself.
