The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 5th January 2025

Thanks Trix, certainly starting to look like Romero may be off this summer if we are even making enquiries on players like that

 

[Trix]

Will be very expensive, has a €80 mil RC and supposedly they aren't keen to come down on that. Ether way only way would get him is if we know for sure Romero is off in the summer. He very likely is tho. Certainly the calibre of CB we will need to replace him. HIM and VDV in the back line would be unbeatable for speed.

Yeah lot of money and plenty of admirers for Diamonde, and we'll probably end up with Cubico Zirconé instead, but thought I'd post as I'm not hearing much else.

Ha yeah. Always is our way. Although I guess you never know, maybe Levy has decided to bring forward our summer plans to this window. Very unlikely I would think tho. Like you say, lots of interest.

Very good trix

Ousmane Diamonde. Told we enquired, but I'd be very surprised if it came to anything personally.

Very good CB. I had in my transfer wish list thread in summer.

€80m is approximately £68m so it's in the ballpark where we like to spend

According to Abola; Sporting want 50M-60M euros for him but Bayern are sniffing around the most.

Not willing to accept a loan with option to buy in 10 years time?

I wonder if they still want Dragusin

 

[Nick-TopSpursMan]

Diomande would be a top class signing.

Exactly the calibre of player we should be targeting. Would be capable of stepping up to replace Romero when he inevitably goes in the summer.

 

[Rob]

Daniel must've read my wishlist today then!

How about that @Rob ?!

Nah, he's just got FM open

Personally, I'm happy if both Romero and Porro get "poached" by Madrid, as long as they cough up.

There was only one injured player who wasnt sat behind the bench for the semi final and even if romero isnt going to madrid thats pretty annoying to see as a fan.

 

[lukadownthelane]

Romero’s always been off this summer

 

[fecka]

I'd argue that if Ange were to create a defender in a lab, Diomande probably wouldn't be far off the result.

Spence, Diomande, VdV, Udogie would be the quickest backline in world football, possibly of all time.

Jim Bowen - let's have a look at what you could have won - vibes of this thread atm.

You forgot the decimal point.

 

[worcestersauce]

Ok where is all this certainty that Romero is off this summer coming from?

I would give him a wide berth if Bayern want him. Their scouting department are not known for their competent scouting of defenders.
The ones they bought have turned out shite and they wanted Dragusin.................
