Can't belive we would like to go with De Sciglio...
While Real Madrid is trying to bring Mbappe,Odegard,Hakimi,Haaland,Upamecano and Camavinga we are trying to get Rugani and De Sciglio.

Mendes apparently behind a rumoured complex transfer involving City, Inter & Barca - Semedo to City, Cancelo to Inter & Lautaro to Barca (with cash & possibly Vidal going to Inter)
CdS and SempreInter also reporting this

Yea, but it's probably speculation regarding which player. Maybe it's Pjanic - Vidal.

I'd rather the club didn't make any transfers at all, even keep Vidal and Rakitic, and hopefully go into 2021 with competent people and a better financial situation to make the proper investments needed in the squad.

Same. With everybody fit, and better training, management, we are still a top 5 team.

And people here were bashing Messi in his take v Abidal.

Abidal is a complete moron who thinks he's one of this club's all time legends when he basically got carried. I sympathize with him for going through cancer but that can't be the reason he keeps benefitting from this club while not having the credentials to do the job.

Abidal did not get carried he was absolutely a top defender at Barca who would be the best defender at club now by a country mile.

Best defensive performance ever seen live was him v Bilbao at CB. Had it all pace, defensive ability, read game and about as calm as could be on ball.

Can have a go at him for what he has done off pitch but on it he was a top top player.

I can't believe anyone with a straight face at the sporting department/board thinks De Sciglio would be worth replacing Semedo with.

Our Fullback situation is already not great and they want to make it even worse.

Abidal was great for us as a player, but he is way out of his depth as sporting director. What has it come to that we are interested in de sciglio, rugani and an over the hill pjanic. Do they expect to fill the squad with garbage and expect Messi to win every game by himself. I would promote wague, araujo and riqui puig instead of those three

If we can get Pjanic for someone like Rakitic that would actually be a beneficial trade in some aspects.

But getting rid of Semedo and possibly Emerson, and replacing them with the likes of De Scigilo is such an awful deal I can't begin to describe it. Dude is worse that Roberto and Semedo, and when it seems we have a decent prospect we can afford to give a chance in Emerson, it seems like the club is trying to shoot itself in the foot in order to use him in other deals when we could use him a lot more.

De Scigilo has no fucking business playing for a team like ours when he's worse than the already two options we have. Why further weaken the team? I'd be gladly willing to give Emerson a Non-EU shot to see what he can do for us next season, There's no way we even have the funds to get Neymar back so it's pointless even trying (assuming Vidal leaves and Martinez joins).

The Rugani rumors are also laughable, the guy turns 26 and has been nothing more than Bench player at Juve for years now and can't even challenge for a starting position even when Chiellini and Demiral suffered ACL injuries this season. What use does he have for this team? Could he stay fit longer than Umtiti? sure but even a one-legged Umtiti is a much better player than this guy is.

This club has now plumetted to new depths. Looking to sign Juve rejects and weaken an already dire squad.
Will Lautaro even start in the team? He will play out of position for sure. Problem is everyone is waiting for 2021 and new elections but by that time this club will be butchered by the board and it will take another two years at least to get back on track. Too many old players, too many shit players and too many incompetent people running the club.

I was rewatching the Clasico, some of his positioning was really abysmal including the first goal...

No. Benzema goes in his area, so he has to block Benzema. Semedo and Arthur are well positioned (Semedo blocks Benzema, most dangerous player at the time of the pass, you can even see him making gestures to receive the ball in the image), and Arthur takes away the pass to the center for Kroos.

This is typical fuck-up by winger, Braithwaite in this case, but it happens. And Pique, can be argued he is the most to blame (since he is a defender). Notice how slow he is to translate to the right, and how big the gap to Semedo is. If he is placed correctly, Vinicius doesn't even get to shoot without having to attempt a dribble first.

That was something I write...Except that cunt on the left wing that will stay at PSG since even Ander Herrera confirmed that he was talking to Neymar and he is really happy at PSG.
