Would be great. He has played ok for us but his position is covered by better players and if we can get a potential starter + money or another player we don't want then even better

Pinamonti (buy back if he ends up being good... doubt it) + Dimarco would be good.

I'd like to hang on to DiMarco, he offers a different dimension to our game in the attacking phase. Also i like his zippy set piece delivery

 

[DARi0]

I don`t think DiMarco will be needed with Gosens around (attacking phase) and Perisic about to extend.

Also for his own career it would be much better to constantly play - that way he has the chance to further develop and who knows, maybe Inter buy him back at some point.

Dimarco the worst CB to win Scudetto, Among our CB, A younger version Kolarov. I prefer trade him with other CB .

 

[pazza moratti]

I think its very hard to get Bremer as PL clubs are after him and his price is already over £40m.

Maybe we should try to renew with De Vrij and get Milenkovic €15m and keep Dimarco?

Also renew Dambro and let Rano go.

Generally I‘d like Kostic, but I don’t know if he’s better than Perisic. Having both of them would be too much though.

Obviously Kostic is an alternative in case extension talks with Perisic don't go well. I am amazed we're trying to have another quality lwb after signing Gosens when we need to cut costs. It feels like a luxury.

There's no way we're offering him 5M net. Right?

Makes no sense, isn't €5mil what Ivan wants?

Couple of months ago I`ve read that Kostic would accept 2.5M/year NET salary here.

Not sure why this is discussed in the "defenders rumours" thread

Wingbacks are generally classified as defenders.

That 5m€ might as well be gross salary actually. In Germany they use gross salaries just like in Britain.

I was keen to sign him in Jan. I would still prefer him over Gosens, but having all of these would be too much of a luxury. Unless one of Kostic/Perisic can play as RWB. Then having those Perisic, Kostic, Gosens, Dumfries for the wing role would be fantastic.

Why would we have both Kostic and Gosens?

It sounds like an overkill and a luxury in a period we're cutting costs and there are bigger priorities. But, likewise, why would we have both Perisic and Gosens?

Well I don't think we will, if I had to guess we moved on Gosens when we had the opportunity, and perisic only stays with a major salary cut (no transfer fee etc), which I don't expect him to take.

Conceptually I do agree, though, signing Gosens has basically been a waste so far, but I expect him to transition to a starting role over the summer.

 

[Capo]

Okay, I could be wrong but why we backing the left so much?

On the left: Perisic, Gosens and now maybe Kostic.
On the right: Dumfries, Darmian and D'Ambrosio

I dont watch bundesliga, so not sure who would be better Kostic/Perisic, but it would be great if we have the same quality on the right too.

Kostic is an alternative in case Perisic doesn't extend. No chance we could have both. Not sure who i would choose between the two. Perisic is more tactically disciplined while Kostic is the better creator. I love Kostic but Perisic has been impressive this season.

Kostic feels a bit like Lavezzi. Always linked with Inter but nothing ever happens.
