Milan Skriniar

[newbie]

Without fans I wonder if Europa league games will cost clubs more to play then sitting at home doing nothing?

Yes

What is the source for this? I see it quoted a lot but a quick google suggest it’s more like £5mill tops, excluding gate receipts.

Alasdair Gold reported it.

Dont think so when we catch Rodon

He’s not a disease

 

[carmeldevil]

If Rodon doesn't come on board, can see us going for Skriniar again in Jan. Inter lost a lot of money from 2019-2020. They are going to need funds for a long time.

 

[carmeldevil]

That's Milan?

You are right - I need coffee. That thread is long and heavy and my brain drifted all over.

Nevertheless some serious losses among these teams. Sure hope Tottenham will be okay.

We should probably go back in anyway.
Toby is getting to the last stages now and has regressed a lot, so he'll need replacing.

A selection of Dier, Sanchez, Rodon, Tanganga probably lacks a bit of composure. Skriniar would give us that.

 

[ComfortablyNumb]

The stats say he’ll probably not even notice it. The stats also say there’s an outside chance it’ll end his career. I couldn’t really give a fuck about catching it, I can do my job perfectly well even if I lose the ability to climb stairs. But, if my livelihood and future depended entirely on being as close to athletic perfection as a human can be, I’d be scared shitless by COVID. I can’t see why any sportsperson would be taking any risk at this time.

Maybe it’s me being stupid, but when I see ‘Milan’ I think of AC Milan, not Inter.

Yeah I thought for sure this meant AC Milan. I don't think I've ever seen Inter Milan shortened to just Milan.

Is not stupid.

From what I've noticed from a lot of my friends/their younger siblings who are in high school/college is they don't care. Everyone thinks they are invincible when they are young but let me tell you I learned relatively young that my body isn't invincible and unfortunately my knees are so shot from playing catcher (baseball) for 18 years that I need surgery in both within the next couple of years as there is no cartilage left and running creates extreme discomfort. Unfortunately a lot of kids in the US it seems like just don't care or think it won't affect them at all

I am surprised by the number of people saying Toby has declined so much. He isn't at the level he was a few years ago, but I think that has been down to injuries. However, the club wouldn't have offered him a 3 year contract, under Mourinho's reign, if they didn't think he was up to it anymore. They would extended for a year and tried to sell him this summer possibly.

Skriniar might be a replacement, but not necessarily for Toby.
I think we will go back in for Skriniar in January, as a replacement for Vertonghen, as Rodon will replace Foyth effectively. CCV will be sold or move on loan. Tanganga has been getting a few injuries and knocks, so Mourinho mlmight want extra cover.
Ben Davies can do a job, but Mourinho still prefers taller central defenders and he isn't dlfast enough to play alongside anyone except Sanchez

I read somewhere and it certainly makes sense that in this case Levy got Levyed.

Inter were still pissed at the Eriksen deal as Levy would not budge from his figure.
Because of that Inter played the same game. We would not agree to the full cost.
Kinda makes sense.

good luck to them for keeping a player that the manager doesn't like to use then

The difference is that levy got what he wanted in the Eriksen deal. Inter have not got what they wanted in the Skriniar deal and neither have we.

The long term issue to caving to any clubs demands is that your position weakens in future negotiations for other players.

I’d still like Skriniar and I’m interested to see how this plays out. Inter need the money and have a player they currently do not want who they can cash in and get 40mil. Or do they hold out for more. If so, for how much longer do they hold out for that?
