What's new

Palmieri

Will take our spending to what, £250 million and still the squad seems miles away, problem is we are lumbered with several mediocre players, im preying we make top 4 this season and have a good turn over in players in the summer

Am I the only one who thinks 65m is crazy money for these two? I would have said 40m tops. 25m for Emerson and 15m for Dzeko.

It's 2018, not 2008.  65m is as cheap as you're going to get these days, unfortunately.  We need players, and these two would certainly add quality to our squad.  I don't mind a bit of haggling, but if we lose out on these two squabbling over a few mill here and there I'm gonna be pretty annoyed.

Numbers don’t add up though; if Palmieri has a release clause of £25m, are we valuing Dzeko at £40m?

Transfer spending has been a shambles. You don’t potentially spend £250m on new players and have no real quality to point out.

 
Palmieri and Dzeko are both quality additions to the squad. It brings depth in positions where we lack it. Dzeko is a serious upgrade from Batshuai and Palmieri can surely compete with Alonso.

Haven't you been following the transfer market lately? And we entered Crazy Country years ago anyway. Two for £65m is a snip nowadays, even with a Bats loan thrown in.

25mln is a fair price, he stunned everyone last season in Rome after starting with that horrible performance against Porto in the CL. Solid both in attacking and in defense, but the ACL tear is a big question mark, when he returned vs Torino in Italian Cup he had a disgusting performance, failing every defensive action.

Well, that´s pretty normal for a player returning from a ACL, he just needs some action

 
Deal is done from the looks of it.
Pretty strange to me that we'd buy another Left-Back when we've got Marcos Alonso and Alex Sandro coming in soon.

The way people are writing him off is really pissing me off.

99% of these people never even watched him kick a ball, and yet all i hear is bitching non stop.

The dude is a freaking excelent player, certainly better than Alex Sandro was when he was 23, but the mere fact that he is no the latter, is enough for people to sh*t on him.

Everyone in this thread guilty of it is going to look extremely stupid in a few months
