@tonyclifton sorry I'm nitpicking and I get the point, bit I need to add Solari was big talent, unlike Ricky Alvarez et al. He had a lot of troubles iirc, but what I'm sure of he doesn't belong in that group imo
Solari was just a victim of Mancio's favoritism.

This whole mess makes no sense and it feels like they don't even know what type of player they are looking for.
☝️This.

Zapata, Vlahovic, Correa, Dzeko. None of the strikers we've been linked to are remotely similar to one another. Any of them, plus Lautaro, would result in a different style of play. It doesn't exactly instill confidence in me that we have a clear plan, and that we're buying to suit a set tactic Inzaghi has in mind, like we did Lukaku for Conte.

I think these fucking scammers are just trying to buy the biggest name possible from the Serie A strikers available on our laughable, government unemployment benefit-level budget.

2+30 not change situation, still not a lot of money ;)

For inter this is a lot of money at the moment. See it this way. We bought Lukaku for 75 and sold for 115. That's 40 million profit. It's like getting Correa and Dzeko on a free. Would you be happy about that? It's like spending all the profit of Lukaku on Correa and Dzeko.

That being said, from the moment they join our team I'll support them.

Correa? We are 100% selling Lautaro this summer, as this is exactly the player to replace Lautaro with. I'm sure there's a silent, under the radar agreement with somebody ( Paratici and Spurs for 95M?)

Im not buying that Lautaro will stay ( but I hope he will)

Suning are slimy.

If Lautaro leaves, I don't see any reason to still play with 2 strikers. At this point I would play Lautaro as a sole striker anyway.

Correa is easily the best dribbler in our team. Which is crucial in unlocking teams parking the bus.

The price is too high but I welcome him here.

you could be right but there are rumours about terminating Sanchez’s contract so Correa could easily be the replacement for Alexis.

Tuttosport so you know how seriously to take that rumor.

Btw Sky have changed their tune about Zapata. They went from Inter and Atalanta have an agreement and they're just waiting for Atalanta to find his replacement to there's a big distance between the two clubs.

Moise kean has deleted all his Everton pics from insta and put a story up saying back soon 🤞

Rumours we are in for him. If we end up with dzeko and kean to replace lukaku just fucking kill me now. If it's dzeko, correa and kean, not too bad.

To be honest, having just Dzeko to replace Lukaku sounds better, or just one of those three whichever it is. Because if we get all three, it means three more deadweights to offload next summer.

I often see people compare Kean to Balotelli, probably because they're both headcases and black Italians.

The reality is Balotelli had genuine moments of brilliance on the pitch that proved he was a world class talent when mentally there. Kean has never shown anywhere near as much ability, but has all the same drama.

Hard pass.

Balo is much more crazy than Kean. Kean was "only" late in team meeting and such. Balo played fireworks and burned his own house or broke into female's prisons lol. Two different levels.

But I agree that we would not see Kean here as long as Marotta remains. Our boss kicked Icardi & Nainggolan out for a reason.

Thats true. Marotta likes discipline, so Kean is unlikely. But our standards have lowered a bit. Conte liked discipline+intensity. He wanted players who would give their 100% on the pitch until their legs buckle. That requirement seems to have gone, for eg Hakan is a lazy player.

These names we’re linked to are depressing. I just don’t see where the firepower is coming from. How are we replacing Lukaku’s G+A with any of these names above?

we aren’t. Guess I’m watching next season for the lols *sigh*

If Dzeko gets 16 goals in the league, I'll be happy. Can't expect more than that at that age.

If we keep Lautaro, we need a monster season from him.
