@rickymniz7771 My problem with it is that I think by the time he’s 26/27 he could be the best ball playing LCB in the world. Given his age, contract and ability I think £70m is cheap, I’d want £85m+
Calafiori only just turned 24 and still has 3 years on his contract. Selling him sends a bad message. I’d only consider it if the fee is crazy, which Real Madrid of recent years seem unwilling to do
If we sign Nathaniel Brown for reasonable money ( something like £50m ) and Madrid are willing to pay up to £60m for Calafiori will you be happy to see him go?
If he leaves we will have Hincapie, Nathan Brown and Skelly as left back options ( Skelly will be more in midfield but a left back option when necessary).
Kroupi is an unbelievable talent but he’s not even a guaranteed starter at Bournemouth yet. You’d be investing £80m on a bit part player (with potential to be world class). I think it has to be Alvarez if it’s possible
@rickymniz7771 Haha not sure about that one but I can see him on the left for us as a Trossard upgrade. From what I’m seeing Julian Alvarez is the big priority, so I imagine they want to pair him with Kai which leaves Odegaard in a bit of a situation…
I think Rogers has been our prime target for this summer window since last year. It also explains why they gambled and didn’t go for Semenyo in January even though it meant Man City would have a much better chance at the title by signing him
Rogers can be Arsenal’s Kvaratskhelia.
Rogers profiles as a ball-to-feet, carrier/dribbler LW/AM hybrid who is comfortable operating inside or starting from wide areas and carrying the ball into the halfspaces to either shoot or create, similar Kvara.
@rickymniz7771 He’s got super potential in my opinion. Great dribbler, 2 footed, good shooting and powerful runner. He’d slot in perfectly in LW for us, more natural fit than Barcola in my opinion for our team
I like Barcola but there’s just something about him that doesn’t feel right. I’m much more convinced by Diomande, it’d be an exceptional signing for Liverpool if they pull it off
