If we offload Erkin now what do you guys think about our chances to sign any quality FB? And who do you prefer? My 1st opion would be Darmian maybe we can loan him form Man Utd

Isn't Darmian a right-sided player?

He played LWB for Torino, but yes he is a right footed player. Signing him would be nice, but IMO probably not a realistic option this late in the market. Man Utd would need to find a replacement, and we would also have WAY to many fullbacks.

Apparently we want Cristico but Zenit ask for 10 million.

Peres went to Roma for 13 million :lol:

Oh man! This is shaping up to be one of the worst mercatos ever...

If we could get Criscito for Erkin + 5/7 million I would do it. He would instantly become the best defensive LB in Serie A.

Transfermakt has his value at about 6 million. So many 3 or 4 plus Erkin then.

I don't understand people's fascination with Peres. He's a right footed Dodo with more pace.

Apparently Cristico has declined a lot at Zenit. So, no, he won't become the best defensive LB in Serie A.

I strongly disagree with this assessment. And I've actually seem him play games for Zenit this year. He's as good as he ever has been. He's 30 years old, which is my only hesitation. He would instantly be the best full back on our roster.

I don't believe we are seriously interested in him though. Hes linked to a move to serie a every summer.

Premium Sport - Napoli are trying to beat Inter to the signing of Domenico Criscito by including Ivan Strinic in negotiations.

Every freaking mercato we sign fullbacks, sometimes even more than one, and we still come out of mercato needing fullbacks!

What does that tell you? Plain and simple, we need quality over quantity! Stop signing shit players just for the sake of signing!

I'm not saying we have to break the bank for a fullback but obvious afforable quality fullbacks like Peres and Telles should've been our targets not shits like Erkin, Santon, Nagatomo, Perreira, Ansaldi, etc.

I beg to differ. Ansaldi is such one acquisition. Erkin was a Mancini request, as far as I can tell - comes from the turkish league, and he was free. The situation with the non-EU quota is laughable tho.

Yeah, we use that quota to a random Turkish LB who can't even take a starting spot from Nagatomo.

Criscito would be the 3rd LB we've signed this summer, after already having 3 players in the squad capable of playing there. Hard to make this stuff up.

If anything we should be looking for a right back, I think we will be fine with Ansaldi at LB.

I'd Recommend Fabinho for our RB, just like we signed Maicon from Monaco

Sky: #Inter are considering #Caceres free transfer. #FCIM are looking for a defender and he must be low-cost for FFP

SI: Kia J. is testing the waters with #Porto to understand the real possibilities of bringing Martins Indi to #Inter

Spend thousands of billions on players like Joao Mario and Sissoko we don't even fucking need is okay, but in case of a player who is capable to play anywhere in the defence (which could mean less DDA, Rano and Naga) 'it must be a low-cost for FFP'. Fuck this club.

Call me the biggest hypocrite in the world, but getting a Rube-player if it means less DDA, Rano and Naga i rather say 'yes' yesterday than today.

PS. Martins Indi is talented (even though i didn't follow him in Porto), but really error prone.

I agree with you. But the problem is there's no such thing as an injury free Caceres.
He is even worse than Jovetic when it comes to injuries.

Yep, his last one was especially devastating.

A grand total of 591 days out of the last five years (which is 1825 days)... or about a third of the time :palm: 32.8%
