Of course not & if a friend of mine done it to me I'd go through him for a short-cut.. The thing is do we really know what happens in a relationship.. for them to end up getting married there must be something there..I can understand why people wouldn't want him & respect their views on that.. I used to share that view.

I have changed my opinion on him since he took the armband for Inter.. he was always a talented player now he has the work-rate & team ethic.. it's hard to explain accurately however I can see the camaraderie he has with his team-mates.. He won't be joining us anyway.. that doesn't take away from the fact he is a really top striker & as in rating strikers he is miles ahead of Batshuyai & Lacazzeta .

I won't say your wrong because you could be very right & I had the same opinion up until this season.. the only thing I will say is do we really know what happens behind closed doors in a relationship & I don't think you marry someone if there is not genuine love there,, Was how he acted wrong .. of course it was.. There are plenty of us that have done the wrong thing when we are young.. we also learn from our mistakes or try to make up for them.. As much as Icardi is painted as the bad guy she should have equal blame.. I do think they fell for each other & they just went about it all wrong..

I wholeheartedly respect your opinion on tis.. Judging him as a player only.. he is a top top striker
I see what you are saying, but there is a difference between falling in love and marrying your team mates ex and getting your team mates kids tattooed on your arm. Plus the way he has flaunted the relationship (and tattoo) on social media shows a serious lack of respect for others.

I can't argue with that.. he was totally in the wrong.. We do stupid things when we are young.. all of us,
I very much doubt he is someone on our radar.. All I'll say is people wetting themselves over Lacazzeta need to watch Icardi to know what a real top striker is.. if you ignore of what happened outside of football & judge Icardi on his footballing ability he is streets ahead of Lacazzeti.. Having said that for our squad balance I would opt for Millik or Embolo

Batshuayi... JJ intimated there's truth in the lequipe rumour few days ago didn't he?
Will likely be big competition for his signature though.

This summer will be interesting with strikers like Batshuayi, Lacazette, Lukaku, Embolo etc. all likely to move clubs.

We can't ignore what happens outside of football because we don't need a complete **** upsetting the squad harmony, regardless of his football ability.

Whether based on fact or fiction, we will be linked with every Belgian player under the sun for the foreseeable future.

The biggest signing in the offseason will be Pochettino, no questions.

I can't disagree with anything you said & actually agree.. the people that will know are people involved in football.. We won't be signing him however there's no harm in saying that you really rate someone as a footballer..

Yes, this is true. They really don't have a RB alternate to Piszczek, who is often hurt. Ginter happens to have a bit of pace, so makes it work. But you're right, this is much more due to need (especially since they're deep at CB) than actually being better there, as CB is very much his position and I think will be moving forward.
Durm is a fullback & has played right & left back

You're right, but it's Joo who I had forgotten about, the Korean who Tuchel took over with him from Mainz. So that is true, they do actually have alternates for both fullback positions.

Tuchel is a really intelligent coach & getting back to Brasilspurs argument plays a cm Bender ahead of Ginter or Subotic ( no surprise he's rubbish I'd rather have CCV than him .. Subotic can't even head a ball)

Impressed by Kirchhoff at Sunderland. Reads the CDM position quite well and has a great touch for a big man and is Kante esque right now in this game.
I was saying this a month ago and no one believed me!!! He would be such a good and cheap DM back up. Real quality player.

He does a job.. but even today you could see he hasn't the vision to spot open players & just play's safe when he's in midfield.. I remember when he played for Mainz he was a really good player.. injuries have ruined his career so far.. probably why he ended up at Sunderland.. Bayern bought him thinking he was the next big thing,, the injuries have taken any pace he had away.. DM isn't the only other position he has played otside of CB.. Tuchel used him as a CF against teams that were weak in the air

We should be looking at a first choice DM given we're in the big leagues now. In the CL, getting away with Dier in midfield against the sort of ridiculous pressing that takes place is going to be an impossible task. We should sign M'villa and Kovacic, A back up forward isn't a need so maybe look at a promising youngster like Embolo, we don't need a sulking Berahino on the bench. I'd also say we should be looking for a sided creative attacker. Maybe Patrick would be a nice option since our manager is amazing when it comes to youngsters. Quality right backs are incredibly difficult to come by.

so u think that we need a first choice DM after the season Dier has had and that a backup striker is not a need?

So you're using lies to try & prove yourself right.. pathetic... as far as finishing a discussion ... we have a saying in our parts ..YOU WOULD'NT FINISH YOUR DINNER .. I'm done debating with you if you can't be honest.. I tried to be civil but your LIES to try & prove yourself right are so disappointing... as a poster on this forum I have no respect for you're views & total disregard for someone who disregards the truth.
LOL, stay off the drugs dude (y)

Watched the whole game. He made some silly passes, but then some brilliant break starters. He has a nice soft touch too. I wouldn't be mad to see him in the squad.

Callum Wilson is back now for Bournemouth.

If he can show no ill effects from his injury he's someone I'd have a lot of interest in bringing in.
