Vuci + Quagli

That's the Dejan I love

Vuci+Quagli can work but not always they often become lazy, and I highly doubt in lorente, I still think that we should get suarez

Liverpool isn't going to give up in January and sell their best player. Plus, their manager, Brendan Rodgers, has asked for a striker to partner Suarez in the January window. I think Liverpool will want to give Rodgers a chance to put together a good team since it's his first year and they won't start selling major pieces.

Devi's list of strikers is more reasonable for a potential January transfer. Plus, as I said before, dreaming about a January transfer involving a striker is pointless if we don't make it to the knock-out stage of UCL. I don't see Marotta making a major January signing if our only competitions are Europa League, Serie A, and Coppa Italia.

Its better we wait until the summer to make a striker signing if we dont make knockouts(which looks like a huge possibility right now) imo.I think that is what will happen anyway like Juventude says.

Plus, let's be realistic. The caliber of strikers that usually move in the January window are players like Matri or someone like Llorente on the verge of a Bosman transfer. The January window is usually a desperate time when teams overpay for slight upgrades. Rarely, do you see talents like Jovetic, Balotelli, or Suarez move in January.

Osvaldo and Llorente our most realistic targets and i am highly skeptical of us getting either..

It's not even about being able to afford him, who says he wants to leave? Liverpool certainly doesn't want to sell and I'm sure he is happy there so we can just forget about players like Suarez.

It has to be players who are talented, their club is welling to sell and/or the player is willing to leave. There is no way around that and Suarez does not fall into this criteria by any means.

January is not the time to find bargains usually (Barzagli excluded). I mean looking at Marotta's January transfers, I'm not so sure.

Good signings:
Barzagli
Caceres

Ok signings:
Matri (overpaid but for that half season he was needed)
Padoin (switched Pazienza for him pretty much, horizontal move)

Bad signings:
Borriello
Toni
Rinaudo
Traore

I'll just leave it at that.

have money?

But in Balotelli's situation he might want to leave.

Definitely, Balotelli is much more realistic than Suarez will ever be

Sell Matri to foreign club, gamble on Iaquinta for that spot on the bench and bring bak Boakye give him minutes

Do you think Milan will get Balotelli?

January winter ? No ... In the summer ? Yeah

Just out of curiosity, how much are you guys looking to spend?

Can't see you signing the likes of Cavani or Balotelli imo.

Llorente does look like he's being forced out. Would be a good signing for you guys.

If we pass the groups maybe good amount if not ..dunno

Think you guys will go for Llorente then as I'm certain he can play for you guys in the CL despite his team being in Europa.
