Not losing any key players for once is a good feeling. Zielinski should be a good addition and I think Asllani is ready to contribute more as well. RWB is a definite concern however.

I’m not thrilled about Correa and Arna getting minutes either. And they will with the increase in fixtures. Hopefully Taremi stays fit and in form.

Correa is for the first rounds of Coppa and for the last Serie A matches in May when we have clinched 21th scudetto, but nothing in between. Just training and bench.

We have squad full of motivated fighters and then there's pretty boy Correa , who won't stuck in because his hair will get messy.

Juventus defender Tiago Djalo refused to answer questions on whether he’d join Roma after undergoing medical tests, while Edoardo Bove admits it is ‘disappointing’ to leave the Giallorossi.

Djalo underwent medical tests in the capital on Friday, but surprisingly, he looked pretty upset upon returning to his hotel and refused to answer reporters’ questions.

“I don’t want to talk now. I’ll do it later on,” Djalo said when asked how becoming a Roma player felt.

This is what happens you make love with a very old Turin lady lol.

It was better for him to stay than just waste millions terminating his contract. We needed 5 forwards after all. We have more matches this season and it's very unlikely that we have all our other forwards match fit for the whole season. He was useful on some occasions in his first season here. He better shows up when he gets a chance.

In the end Perisic is going to Como.

Djalo first took a medical and then he decided he doesn't want to go to Roma. :lol:

Osimhen case is hilarious. Napoli ask the Arabs for 5m more in the final minutes so they walk away. Then Chelsea knock at the door but they pay less than half what Osimhen is supposed to earn. Then he will be frozen out of the squad till January 😂

I never thought the Osimhen saga would end like this. Always thought he would find a way to Chelsea eventually. I actually would have loved to see it. They should have skipped signing Felix and Sancho and put their money into Osimhen.

Perisic to Como is an interesting move. This is because he fell out with Gattusso before the season even started at Hadjuk. He wasn’t going to play. Going to Como over Monza makes perfect sense. He basically gets to move back to Milan, play in a more exciting project, and be in one of the most beautiful places on earth.

Gosens to Fiorentina surprised me. I thought this would finally be a season for Parisi to break out and get a lot of playing time as a wingback. Now it seems both promising Italian wingbacks will be struggling for minutes. Kayode on the right side doesn’t seem to be getting a lot of time either.

Milan and Roma somehow make zero sense deals on both side. Abraham joins Milan with 1.5m fee dry loan. While Saladmakers or whatever his name is is joining Roma for free.

Problem starts from his current salary at Napoli. ADL made a mistake to give him 10m net to sign an extension when he had no intention to keep him at the club. There's no one in Europe willing to match that. Not Chelsea. Not even PSG. Clubs were asking from Osimhen to take a paycut to join but unsurprisingly he wasn't willing to do it. So only Saudi Arabia was left as an option. But in a typical ADL fashion he got greedy and he thought he's smarter than everyone else. Well he isn't and he will never learn.

Now Napoli are at risk of paying someone 10m net who won't even play games for them. They can only hope there's another club from Saudi Arabia willing to take him.

Robin Gosens to Fiorentina :cautious:
Sometimes I wonder if people are reading my posts. I've literally wrote the same things 10 posts before yours. Judging by the number of thanks you got, I'm surprised by how many people missed it.

Djalo first took a medical and then he decided he doesn't want to go to Roma. :lol:
Seems that it was not his call after all. There were some issues during the medical, hence his "statement" about not saying anything.

Seems that the merda have signed damaged goods and now they are trying to dump him.

Tiago Djalo’s move to Roma from Rubentus is now off following concerns surrounding his medical, which means the Giallorossi have now turned their attention in the direction of former Atletico Madrid centre-back Mario Hermoso.
