Ole prioritised other areas. Look at who we bought.Not Arsenal showing more ambition to strengthen the exact same position of weakness as United. This despite the fact they spent £50m on Partey not long ago and signed Lakonga last summer. State of us.
Fiorentina's director recently confirmed that Piatek is coming in to back up Vlahovic, not replace him. Given Fiorentina's ambitions, they can do better than Piatek to replace Vlahovic, and I think that's their plan, too.Surely Vlahovic is off then?

The four full backs:
- Ben Chilwell
- [Irrelevant point]
- Emerson (on loan)
- Abdul Rahman Baba (on loan)
Until we sort out the middle of the park getting dominated by the likes of Wolves, Villa, Everton, will be the norm. It's just not realistic for 2 of Mctom, Fred, Matic to win that midfield battle.Ole prioritised other areas. Look at who we bought.

Partially translated Tweet:Christensen issue: the priority is the renewal with Chelsea, the parties will continue to speak. Barcelona, attentive and interested, today is not the first option for the Dane, who has other offers, especially from England and France. And in Spain. Detail: he wants to play in the UCL.

I don't believe that for a second. Barca and the affiliated journos are lying through their teeth, routinely desinforming their fans, with the general theme of Barca never paying any wages for anyone, and everyone playing almost for free for them because they are so awesome.
Them paying none of his salary also means it reduces their wage bill so they can register more, or more expensive players.....how convenient.I don't believe that for a second. Barca and the affiliated journos are lying through their teeth, routinely desinforming their fans, with the general theme of Barca never paying any wages for anyone, and everyone playing almost for free for them because they are so awesome.
And then the club collapses because the wage budget is out of control, go figure.

Just wait until they have their self sponsors and get serious in the Summer window!The feckers are going to survive relegation aren't they?
They write those articles for people like you. Hook, line and sinker.I don't know if the information is real or not, Barcelona this year is working hard to lower the wage bill. The wage bill right now is not out of control, there is simply a financial fair play exceeded due to previous years.
And for example a news story right now, a journalist on a program said the salaries of some players, exorbitant figures.
And Pique posted a twitter with 50% of his salary collected on December 30: €2.3M
If Barcelona does not lower the wage bill can not register new players, so lie obviously is not.

Don't see why Freiburg would agree to a loan. He's one of their best players, why would they let him leave if not for a substantial fee?Tweet

Sampdoria want to loan in Grifo. I'm surprised that bigger Italians clubs aren't targeting him at this time given how good he's been for Freiburg over the past few years.

If we play in a back five it is Azpi who replaces Reece James. If we play a back four we may need a bit more of a defensive full-back – it is also Azpi. Maybe it is Trevoh Chalobah, but Trevoh is out with an injury. We are running out of options. If you talk about Christian Pulisic or Callum Hudson-Odoi, they can only play wing-back. It’s not their preferred position and they cannot play full-back. You lose options not only in personnel but in tactics.
I will not comment on detail in the market. We check our options and it needs to make sense. If we had a full squad I would love to answer this question and say we need nothing. But we have the issue and that’s why we look into it.
Yeah, the only way a loan makes sense is if there's a purchase obligation at the end.Don't see why Freiburg would agree to a loan. He's one of their best players, why would they let him leave if not for a substantial fee?

Seems Scottish full backs are all the rage just now. Patterson to Everton, Villa looking at Arron Hickey of Bologna, Bologna and Seville looking at the aforementioned Ramsey.Tweet

Sevilla want a loan with a purchase obligation afterwards, whilst Bologna want to sell him outright if Orsolini's to leave this January.
His passing is a bit too safe to be a proper playmaking influence at the moment. His strength lies in maintaining possession under pressure and maintaining the build-up tempo with accurate passes. Don't expect him to play too many incisive passes like Pogba does.Swap deal for Martial/Pogba? Would he fit in our midfield/help with problems, can be a deep playmaker right?
You can ignore reality but not the consequences of ignoring reality.They write those articles for people like you. Hook, line and sinker.
Sounds like a good Matic replacement thereHis passing is a bit too safe to be a proper playmaking influence at the moment.
