Raphinha has to be our target as Dembele's replacement. F.Perez could get this deal done in just a few hours. What is the problem to offer Leeds Mingueza and Puig, plus 20-22 million ? Laporta shows weaknesses when it comes to sell. He can not negotiate a deal even with a team which was in a relegation till the last game. There are a few financial experts in his board and none of them has done anything so far. The transfer window will open in 23 days and we don't have any deal secured so far. Also, I want to mention something that bothers me a lot. WTF is this? Tuchel is cleaning his house and we are going to get his garbage players?
Christensen is better than Pique and Garcia, but the other mentioned names are just useless. If we are going to sign only players that other clubs don't need that won't do any good for us. We need to offloads first 7-8 players and quickly secure quality replacements like Koulibaly, C.Soler, R.Neves, Raphinha and Lewandowski.

To the topic:

To me, Di Maria's best days are way behind him. He was a star player at Madrid. Since he moved to Paris, his downhill started day by day. All that said, he is still a better winger than Ferran Torres. Dembele will leave for sure and we need to concentrate on Leed's Raphinha as his replacement. He is the best option for us. If I am at Laporta's position, I will immediately sell F.Torres and then sign Di Maria as a free agent. That is what I call smart moves.

Leeds will never accept that offer for Raphinha

Nobody is that stupid.

Also selling Torress is not option.

They will not take L after 4 months he is here.

Di Maria is more playmaker, he will not offer what us Dembele offering by getting the ball wide on the pitch.

Bring Lewa, renew Dembele since even nobody wants him.

Fati/Torress-Lewa/Auba-Dembele/?

Sell Depay,Braithwaite and De Jong.

Busi/Kessie - Pedri/Soler - Gavi/?/Roberto

We are still likely to be seconc in la liga so it does not matter this season too much, we don't need to be that desperate to get this idiotic old players on high wages because they will not bring us much (except Lewa).

Dictator Messi exerting his influence at the club once again. Getting his pals on the team even when he's not playing here anymore.

Di Maria would possibly be best to give relief to Pedri as the offensive midfielder of the trio, rather than on the wing where his pace has less influence with age.

A transfer of depth and not to start basically.

City and Atletico are chasing Facundo Farias who has a 12m release clause. Seems to dribble like Abde but a bit of a bull (Tevez, Alexis) to know what he wants to do.

Interesting low cost option who could suit us. With Raphinha completely out the picture for now, we will have to look at potential even if we need more prime aged players.

Why do you think so? They wont do a swap deal? Is that what are you saying? If we do not get this guy, Man.Utd or Chelsea or Bayern will grab him. We can offer also F.Torres and Depay plus cash.

If we do not sell Torres, then say goodbye to La Liga dreams. He is absolutely useless. Everyone has seen that.

"They will not take L after 4 months he is here...." Who is that "L" ??? I am not sure what are you talking about. In 4 months no player will be back. You have confused the numbers.

Dembuz is going to Chelsea. Haven't you read that ?

Even at 34, Di Maria is a lot better winger than Ferran. Yes, he has slowed over the years, but at the other hand, he has tons of experience and can play even as a play-maker.

For our midfield my opinion is this:

DM - Ruben Neves ( Nico )
RM - Frank Kessie ( Gavi )
LM - Carlos Soler ( Pedri )
With these three and Fati and Lewa up-front, it's really not that much important who will play at the RW as long as it is not Torres. I got irritation even when I type his name. Absolute garbage.

He's an oldie but only wants a 1 year contract apparently so might be worth taking but then remember its AdM.. the Shh, ex Madrid

Soler is on the verge of signing for Atletico. For just 15M. Valencia were offering him to us for 30, just FYI, the little fuckers.

I think Torre might play a bigger role in the first team from the get go, especially if we do sell Frenkie. There's no way we're getting Bernardo, not even close. Best thing we could do is not sell Frenkie. But if we do, spend that money to sort out our defense. Koulibaly/Lisandro, Gaya and a new RB (maybe that Brazilian from Shakhtar), but Dest has to also stay, for both cover at RB and LB, very useful player to have, and still with a high ceiling as well, we saw what he could be under Xavi in those weeks that he played so well before he sadly got injured.

Although my first RB pick would absolutely be Pedro Porro. Sporting just bought him off from City, so he's no longer unavailable because of that, plus we could use Trincao in a swap deal, since he's most likely going there.

Instead of paying a huge transfer fee for Raphinha, it makes perfect sense to sign a player of his quality for 1 one (until the economic situation stabilizes). Beggars cannot be choosers, after all.

Question is if our board would even consider him because of his past at RM.

We can offer whatever we want. But Torres and Memphis will never accept a transfer to Leeds lol. Would you honestly do that if you were them? From getting plenty of playing time at Barca to relegation fodders Leeds lol.

And those we can offer who would accept Leeds, like Puig and Mingueza, are combined worth a total of 5-10m, so it won't make much of a difference to the fee.

Send them to Newcastle, at least they can buy everything new after that. Brings small joy.
