At what time is that match?

by McLewis Sun Jul 22, 2012 8:46 pm

It's on right now. Watching on FSC.

1-0 already. Osvaldo scored in the 1st minute.

by McLewis Sun Jul 22, 2012 8:59 pm

2-0, Tachtsidis with a sumptous chip from about 19 yards out. Totti should be proud :bow:

by BarrileteCosmico Sun Jul 22, 2012 9:03 pm

How did they not score 6 feet from the goal?! affraid

Edit: and Lamela just missed from very up close too

by McLewis Sun Jul 22, 2012 9:05 pm

Very casual shot from Lamela there. Should do better.

by BarrileteCosmico Sun Jul 22, 2012 9:10 pm

Lamela

by McLewis Sun Jul 22, 2012 9:10 pm

3-0, Lovely ball from Castan for Lamela to deftly chip with the outside of his left boot.

This match proves- we have the attack but our defense is crap. But yeah, what do you want from Rosi, Taddei, Romangioli (19 years old?) and Castan, who just transfered from brazil

by BarrileteCosmico Sun Jul 22, 2012 9:23 pm

4-0. Bojan makes it look too easy.

Also agreed with the defense comment, it looks way too fragile. You guys should spend the remaining transfer budget and spend it all on Dede.

by McLewis Sun Jul 22, 2012 9:23 pm

Bojan merks the whole Lubin defense. 4-0.

And Romagnoli is 17 actually.

by McLewis Sun Jul 22, 2012 9:27 pm

If we're getting another CB, it'll be on the cheap. There's been almost no talk of any other CBs coming in other than Castan.

With Destro costing nearly 15m, he's going to be our last signing this summer most likely.

by flameas Sun Jul 22, 2012 9:29 pm

No RB for us? I thought we had 30 mil to spend, sofar we wasted only 10 and got 13 from Borini.. I have strange dejavu about our transfers.. reminds me of Sensi times.. crappy medicore players.. no real stars..

by RealGunner Sun Jul 22, 2012 9:30 pm

Good performance so far

by McLewis Sun Jul 22, 2012 9:33 pm

5 for Castan
3.5 for Bradley
2.5 for Tachtisidis
and then a projected 15m for Destro totals to 25.5m which leaves us 4.5m left in the kitty.

Still enough for us to find a good CB or RB, but if you were expecting Debuchy or Thiago Silva, then you've been living a deceived existence for the past few months.

by flameas Sun Jul 22, 2012 9:35 pm

We made a profit with Borini so we should have 10 mil left. Debuchy cant be more than 10 mil.. or is he? Damn idiots from PSG and City are pushing all player values so high..

by McLewis Sun Jul 22, 2012 9:53 pm

We sold Borini for 14m euros. We're buying Destro for approximately the same price...we won't be making much of a profit there.

by flameas Sun Jul 22, 2012 9:56 pm

So Destro would be bought from Borini cash - not from the initial 30 million.

by McLewis Sun Jul 22, 2012 10:20 pm

If you're assuming our kitty is 44m instead of 30m then yes. I do not believe that is the case however. We'll see though.

Even if we end up with more, I wouldn't expect any hollywood signings.

by flameas Sun Jul 22, 2012 10:22 pm

Id be happy with anything.. a solid rightback. Age or name isnt the question, quality and experience is.

by McLewis Sun Jul 22, 2012 10:32 pm

I honestly think Rosi is a solid RB. Didn't make too many mistakes last season, but the problem is that there's a definite lack of depth in that position. And we will be signing Ivan Piris from Sao Paulo anyway as well so that should be the answer.

by Patrick Bateman Sun Jul 22, 2012 11:32 pm

Now I see what Zeman so badly wanted Tachtsidis at Romathe,kid looks a real talent.

by Patrick Bateman Mon Jul 23, 2012 3:22 am

Sick goal

15 M for Destro ? Shocked

Since when ?

Why didn't we just keep Borini ffs :facepalm:

If anything that 15 M should spent on a top CB not some kid who just had one decent season. :facepalm:

14m plus bonuses to be more exact. It'll equal at least 15m when it's all said and done though.
