We can't not expect Brozovic to not want
If you support giving Hakan 5m contract, it's totally deserved to give Brozovic 6m. The Croatian is the engine of our midfield for YEARS. He runs his ass off to do all the dirty works.
On a serious note, what Calhanoglu makes is completely deserved. Maybe even little more. 6m€ net is just too much. Calhanoglu makes 4.5m€ this year and 5m€ after that for 2 years. With 4 year contract and Brozovic being 29,5 years next summer, I'd say 5.5m€ net is absolutely maximums I'd give to him. And given it's 4 years, I'd include some bonuses to that 5.5m€ figure.
In comparison, Calhanoglu is 28 next February and his contract runs till 2024, his average net salary is 4.8m€ for 3 years. Brozovic is asking for a longer deal while being older. Of course I get it that Brozovic's pedigree is also better, specially with his history at Inter but I'd say we can't give Brozovic 6m€ net deal, we just can't. If we set that precedence, our salary budget will just keeps on climbing back where it was very soon.

Signing Kessie and losing Brozo still leaves a hole in our midfield in front of the defense. Kessie would really be coming here to take Hakan’s starting spotDon't see anything wrong even if he leaves for free and we get Kessie. Thanks for all the laughs, but I don't think he'll age as gracefully as Modrić.
This is a joke, right?Don't see anything wrong even if he leaves for free and we get Kessie. Thanks for all the laughs, but I don't think he'll age as gracefully as Modrić.
While this could be the case for Conte's Inter, i don't think Kessie would take the spot of Hakan in Inzaghi's Inter. He can only play in Barella's position in our midfield. One of the advanced midfielders needs to be a playmaker. I can't see a Barella - regista X - Kessie midfield trio working and playing either Barella or Kessie as a regista would be a waste of their strengths. The only role Kessie could have for us is being the first midfield option from the bench but he's too expensive for that role.Signing Kessie and losing Brozo still leaves a hole in our midfield in front of the defense.

Didn't watch the game but other than Oblak and Iličić, Slovenia are Andorra level.Solid tonight against Slovenia.
Why is that such a hard concept for a person to have an opinion?This is a joke, right?
