i still don't understand a thing. We have 50-60M to invest to get 2 strikers, but what about dummfries?

Then just fire the current scouts and hire ones working for Atalanta. Doubling their salary. Surely won't cost more than 5m.
Unrelated comment but I think if we signed Atalanta's scouts, our track record would remain the same and Atalanta's track record would remain the same with respect to recruitment. My impression when it comes to clubs like Udinese and Atalanta is that the system matters more than the individual scouting talent.

After all, didn't we sign Udinese's top scout back in 2013, who went on to have a short, unsuccessful spell as Sunderland's technical director?

What makes you say that? Nowhere is said how much of Lautaro's possible sale price would be allocated for the replacement. Lukaku was sold for 115m€ and our budget for transfers according to the media is around 55m€. Hakimi money was banked 100%.

I'd definitely try to persuade Zhangs to allow us to spend to get Vlahovic, even if it means spending extra 10-15m€. A risky bet but I don't think we are in a position to play it "safe" after selling Lukaku which was the opposite of playing safe.

I mean, investing in Zapata is playing it safe, he will provide goals but nothing special, nothing long-term. Resale value is 0. I can see directors going for that direction to kind of save their asses and secure the top4 for the next season but it won't give us the Scudetto. Vlahovic won't give us the Scudetto either but gives us options for the future. His value goes even higher after CL performances (I doubt he would flop hard, we have still good team around him). We might sell him high (and build around Lautaro) or sell Lautaro next summer and build around Vlahovic (though Zhang is then "why not both"). Would give some hope and continuity for this club's attack.

Getting Zapata now, then selling Lautaro next summer and we have no young striker to build our future attack around. We need to buy that player next summer and then it takes time for the guy to gel into the team and the club and we've wasted a year of this gelling process.
It's simple, before the start of the transfer window, Zhang set a goal make 80 million in sales and cut salary, that is, we started the transfer window from minus fucking 110 million euros, since we owed Real Madrid 30 for the Hakimi, in such a situation everyone was counting on the genius of Marotta, that we would not only lose in quality, but also strengthen ... Which is an almost impossible task! At the time of the sale of Hakimi, we have minus 40m, that's a lot of money to cover it with the sale of Vecino and the youngster team players, and also don't forget that to fulfill the task number 2 we need to pay the retainers to Conte, Mario, Nainggolan and Vidal.
The sale of the 29-year-old Lukaku for that amount makes sense, for Lukaku we received about 100m, taking into account all payments and commissions, at the moment we have plus 60 million. How to invest them and not lose quality when we have already sold Hakimi and Lukaku players who were in the top 5 in the world in their positions, the answer is not possible, you need to sell someone else.

Dzeko, Dumfries and Zapata fit well into that 60 million , but I will be disappointed in Marrota as a pro if he does that. Much better to sell Vecino or Sensi and get Vlahovic to pair with Lautaro, and cover the right wing with Nandez and Bellerin on loan.

One of the reasons why Lukaku's sale timing is bad: we now seem to be panic buying.

Da f*ck? How much does Fiorentina want for him? 50M is a pretty good deal for them.
Probably at least 60m€. They want to extend him, Vlahovic agent wants to add a release clause. Commisso wants the release clause to be 80m€, Vlahovic agent settles with 60m€.

Like mentioned, interest from EPL will push the prices up. They can get more than 50m€.

60M should be do-able if we try some bonus clause and instalment. The big question I think is if Vlahovic is willing to force a transfer and which club he wants to go.

60M for Vlahovic is a lot of money, 80M is ridiculous.

To be fair, juve would not pjanic buying. They want loan and ask Barcelona to pay half of the salary.

Fuck fiorentina. Wtf is their problem with us. I think it has been always like that even with the previous owner.

Its not like we are panic buying. We are more like content from the beginning for safe choice like zapata even if the price is inflated. If it was 25 mio fo zapata, I agree it would be safe choice

Well said by Il Drago in the earlier page regarding Lautaro sale. That would be pure insanity. We need continuity. Lautaro knows exactly how to play with this team. What is required from him, what he needs to do. Now he gets even bigger responsibility to score goals and it must feel great for him as he was always a bit in the shadow of others (first Icardi, then Lukaku).

We need to get a good partner for him, not replace our whole attack.

Biasin - Dzeko ok. Duvan Zapata more than likely than Correa.

If Roma truly get Isak to replace Dzeko then we might as well shut the club down. Isak would be NUTS next to Lautaro.

i think many people overrate Vlahovic. i would not buy him for 50 or 60 million after only one good season. if he can do it in 2 or 3 seasons then i would not mind paying that price.
