Good as we should.
Latest rumor I sawā¦ Cholito!
It makes some sense and I wouldnāt be mad at it.

Yeah Giovanni Simeone is on fire at Verona this season. He is a decent player and not necessarily a pure nr. 9 - so he could fit in well here. Why not?

Thatās what I thought. Seems complicated.

Dream striker signing for me is Vlahovic from Fiorentina. Still so young and such a talent. Donāt know how much he would cost(Might be out of our range) but I think would fit in nicely here in Jan or next summer.

Yeah if we wanted Vlahovic we had to make work of it this summer or earlier, its way to late now and at this point we canāt compete for him realistically. Unfortunately indeed, coz heās brilliant.

Thereās rumours about Ćscar going out on loan, w Getafe as an option.
I say free the boy and let him go, and why donāt we go for Donny van de Beek?

He deserves to play. Iām not sure about Getafe, I feel he could do better than that. Maybe he could go to a midtable/lowermidtable side. Someone like Espanyol maybe? Or CĆ”diz? Not really sure, but I think joining a team that is dead last is an insult to his ability.

Rumours of Lille selling Renato Sanches this January, I wish we would get him. But no way thatās happening, we have our options in the midfield like but always thereās something wrong. Either in the combination with the rest, or in the strategy and/or fitness/injuries.
I loved about Kondogbia for example when he was 19, he will always be looking to play football, dare players to take him on, and creating a forward flow in the game. A smart ball roll, a feint, power by and running up threatening, daring them to make new choices. While generally still being save in possesion. Same with Ever Banega.
Well we arenāt gonna use Oscar, so only makes sense for everybody. Every playing minute he gets will do him well.
Julian Alvarez from River apparently has all the big teams in the world after him as well so, that one will be a tough one.
I think van de Beek is a good shout, Dutch people are kind of downtalking him a bit, saying heās overated. But he has a good feel for space and opportunities and an eye for goal as a midfielder. Same thing with Oscar, if you are not getting many chances. You canāt show the right things. Which I respected from Donny in some of his early games in Manchester where he was quite useful and contributed enough with little time he got. He can surprise in his next destination for sure, since he will be leaving Manchester soon you are right.
Something will happen in January, but depending on how we pass by the next month and a half.

Hate to see Oscar on loan, I think he could be valuable at some point this season. But see the need for him to get some game time. Hopefully he tears it up as that will only benefit him and us in both the short term and the long term.
I donāt see us bringing in a ton this January as hopefully we will still be sitting well in the table(Obvs being the top the goal) and maybe just one or two pieces to solidify our squad for a title push. I love transfer windows and have faith those in charge will make the right decisions.

Iām another one that would have LDJ back.
Our striker situation is pretty serious. YEN out for a while again seemingly and only Rafa Mir to count on. Heās done an okay job but we canāt just rely on him.
If there are better strikers out there get them, but LDJ would give us an option. To be fair, he chipped in with some important goals in big matches at times.

are also interested

If we do sign a striker, Iād hope itās someone who can also play LW. Someone w the profile of a Malen (Dortmund) or even Morales (Levante) who can play as a wide forward.
It would take care of 2 problems. (1) Someone to put pressure on Ocampos, and (2) avoid the overbooking once YEN is back, cause we almost exclusively play a 1-striker system.

I would love someone like him. 13 goals and 3 assists last season. Now that Levante is in the relegation zone, how realistic is it for us to potentially sign him? I know heās getting up there but he could help us short term

I think itās too late for us to sign Morales. Heās probably gonna retire with Levante. But thatās the kind of player i have in mind. Preferably under 30 as well.
Iād also be fine w/ pushing Papu to the wing if we got a top player like Van De Beek, cause we can play Lopeās favoured 4-3-3 with him. Otherwise, I want someone with pace. For the umpteenth time, just get Darwin Machis.

I think the one mentioned before the deadline of the summer, is that when de Jong went on his last minute transfer, we tried to get Haris Seferovic swiss striker from Benfica. And we will be coming back for him this winter most likely. Iām putting my bet on him. Also even Ajax rumoured to take over Luuk as a sub striker now, to relieve barca from him lmao.

He was decent during the euros, but has only played 25 minutes this year for Benfica. He scored 22 goals last season, yet seems to get a lot of criticism from Benfica supporters.

Is Andrea Belloti a solution? He is a free agent in the summer, so if he leaves in the winter is a small fee. He wants to go to bigger club than Torino and the rumors have been going on for quite some time.

Thatād be a good move if it could technically happen. However, weād still need a striker.
