Pioli - “Samu worked hard this summer, and when season starts, he’d be like new signing, almost as Messi joined us.”  Sagrin
Latest rumours has Pobega going on dry loan to Cagliari. Supposedly Krunic too (believe it when I see it) and replaced by Bakayoko and Adli. Slight delay on the Adli deal is because Bordeaux representative is working with us but Lazio who are taking Tomas Basic from them too.

DiMarzio reported an AM is coming in, maybe RW.

Pobega dry loan would be perfect. gives the kid valuable game time. Krunic going also would be perfect. 
Baka and Adli will have to do. May not be amazing deals but they'll do.
A few rumors floating around this morning.
The claims are Florenzi is a done deal
Claims Adli is almost done.

Rumored to come next
30m for Berardi - doubt it happens
Vlasic still rumored - loan with option
Rafinha Rumored now - more realistic option given the money we've spent so far.
In one of his interviews right after the season ended, Pioli was analyzing the season and said "the data tells us that we did poorly in offensive 1v1 duels". Fast forward to the end of the market...and we have done nothing to help that statistic. Big Grin

Edit: Btw, they need to make the summer market window 1 week long. A sprint to the finish line bitches. Whoever can buy, will buy. None of this 3 month long crap. It gets so boring to be honest. Days and days of baseless rumors. Can't wait for the season to start and be done with this. It used to be fun. But now it's just annoying. Or maybe i'm just getting old Big Grin

They definitely should shorten the summer windows. Teams take forever negotiating for anything because the window is so long.

Mayeb not 1 week but 3 months is waaaay too long.

Teams take forever because they can afford to hold out to try and wait for the best deal. makes it a painful process for everyone involved.

Look at it from a players perspective. Imagine being Samu... Beign told you're not needed and will be sold. only for months of nothing happening, resigning yourself to having to stick around at a club that doesn't want you and likely won't play you, then last minute potentially being sold.

I can't imagine Samu has ever been told he wasn't needed. Not with Pioli around. Nah, not our Samudinho [emoji16]

I won't be surprised if Lazio ended up getting the better Bordeaux player [emoji4]

Anyone has any idea of the type of player this Adli guy is? I don't trust YouTube clips but even that wasn't any exciting or special on him.

Surprised that we aren't linked with Adam Ounas, that guy can cover whole variety of position upfront. Very much skillful and creative and muxh betteroption than finished players like Rafinha in emergency condition.
Forza Diavolo ale!!!
