Boateng was asking for a high salary in June. When he's at risk of staying without a team at least till January, i don't think he's going to have the same demands.

Anyway, Boateng was just an example. Backup cbs aren't really so hard to find if we really want to sign one. The question is if we can afford it or not.

We can. Trust me, signing a wooden chair from Ikea and put it in front of Handa could be more useful than Kolarov :lol:

Sorry, Marotta, but this extension is stupid (from a big Marotta fan).

Not trying to be Marotta`s advocate, but back then he did not know the freakin` owners will sell Lukaku for record sum.

Knowing these kind of funds will become avialable could have allowed him to plan better. Perhaps by not selling Hakimi in the 1st place! 🤬

Now all he can do is react and manage this situation, because Kolarov has already been extended since Radu chose to stay with Lazio.

I don't get why we didn't go far Nastasic (500K, 4M gross wages, left-footed, serie a experience) and Maksimovic (Free, 1.5M net wages, serie a experience).

There are rumours Inter are monitoring Romagnoli contract situation and he could be a possible target for next summer. Normally i wouldn't take the rumour seriously but then i remembered there was a pic of Ausilio and Baccin discussing with Romagnoli in the summer.

Maybe otherwise but he's looking for his big payday with Raiola. I would pass as he'd still be a rotation player for us.

He can be Bastonis backup at most. He is not better than Bastoni even now, and Bastoni is younger. He cannot play centrally as is more brainfart prone than Rano, and he cant play as RCB as he is left footed.

Knowing him and Raiola, he'd ask more wage than all of our defenders. Hence, fuck him.

Exactly, probably looking for something like 5m€ net. None of our defenders make that much, not even De Vrij and he's the most senior one. I guess after his extension he might get to that level but it's only deserved.

Well we will need 2 defenders next season, as Zinho will probably be 1, while Rano, Kolarov and Dambrosio will most likely be gone. Good thing about Romagnoli is that he'd be free, but i dont think he would wanna be a backup and would also want a pretty big salary. So id rather get some other guys that will be out of contract and wont demand lots of money. We cant really do worse than Kolarov and Dambrosio, who is also not that great in that position.

Why are we linked to all of Milan's trash on Bosmans? Stay away from the likes of Kessie and Romagnoli.

Marotta’s specialty. Weakening the direct rivals by buying their own players.

He did it before with Higuain and Pjanic. Now it’s even clearer with Correa, Dzeko, Hakan, Inzaghi, Kolarov (inverse effect). I won’t be surprised a bit if we get Kessie, Romagnoli and Insigne for free next season.

Kessie is the only quality player among them. I can't tolerate Kessie since I associate him too much with Milan. But purely from a footballing perspective, Kessie would be great. Not to mention, he is young too.

Romagnoli makes sense only if Marotta has already planned to sell someone amongst our 3 defenders. Otherwise It's useless to give a huge salary for a back up player and he'll demand a lot.

Don't even entertain the idea of Romagnoli, anyone dim witted enough to get a yellow from the bench coupled with a big salary has no place here. We'd be better off with Ben White! Better yet just give our current subs some china white prior to the match.

Yeah, it probably safer for all concerned, however giving any enhancer to Dumbo maybe dangerous. Sure he would attack the ball, but he may fail to grasp which team is which. The dead ball situations may even alert the refs that something is a little off.:proud:
