Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - We are SO back, the Premier League returns!

You may be right, I'm still salty about la decision

Transfer market opens tomorrow

1. Napoli's asking for $90M for Koulibaly. I don't know if United is gonna be willing to drop that big a bag on him. Alternatives are Macguire and Skirnar (who I rate as a top 5 Serie A defender)

$90m is nothing for Koulibaly. If it goes up to 120m euros you still pull the trigger.

I hope that happens, if Barca want a proven #9. I'd go for G. Jesus or Lacazette.

Give him couple of more years before he ends up at Leicester.

This guy is just a Brazilian Ihenacho. This is coming from a Nigerian.

G. Jesus had no reason leading the line for Brazil at the 2018 WC. Bobby Firmino would have been better. Even Neymar as a False 9 with Willian and Costa on the wings would have been better.

Milan Skriniar will be more expensive than Koulibaly.

 

[gho3st]

Maybe Graziano Pelle. Me personally, I don't rate Martial one bit and I'd sell him as soon as I'd have the chance.

Low key Martial should leave this summer. He’s too good for Europa league football

Transfermrkt got Skriniar at 54 M quid. He's 3 years younger than Koulibaly though.

That Neymar transfer from Barcelona to PSG absolutely messed up the transfer market. Player's values are over inflated.

If I'm OGS, get Lukaku out of the door and then get Martial and Rashford together put the main striker role in the middle and tell them to scrap it out for 10 months.


Then you find out who really is about that #9 life.

Iheanacho is harsh. Probably on the same tier as Martial and below the likes of Rashford and Timo Werner. He's nowhere near the player as Firmino, at least not right now. He's fine, just not special.

Even the most cursory of research will tell you how wrong that is.

Not even. G. Jesus is the tap-in merchant that Ihenacho was at City. Honestly he's output isn't that different from Ihenacho when you consider the service he gets.

We all know why Ihenacho wasn't in Pep's plan for the future
