Ah the classic "Conte hasnt met with the Board yet" chat from Fab haha.

Love how he’s still left the door wide open for a “here we go” in a few weeks

You’d think Romano would be clued up on Dybala, being In Italy and with links to Paratici. Let’s see.

 

[JerryGarcia]

This is one I’d really like to see happen but at the same time I’m not really sure it would work out. Also I don’t think we’ll get him anyway so not getting my hopes up!

Yes but I also think Paratici likes to play the press to his advantage.
"Smokescreen" was never a thing when it came to Levy but with Fab, I think he likes to spread all sorts of stories out to suit his game.

It is beyond bonkers that some on here are insinuating that we shouldn’t pursue him for whatever reason , wages , Kulu getting less time , where does he fit in etc etc …
He is a genuine world class player, would argue more than VDV when he came to us and look what happened there .
As others have mentioned the teams who have/will finish above us spend money on world class players when they are available to strengthen the overall squad … if you want a seat at the big table with the big boys then you have to do the same ..

If for nothing else I would like to see him take free kicks instead of Kane ?

Just proves how common drug abuse actually is man ?

We really need to get the job done on Sunday.

The idea of potentially bringing Dybala and/or Eriksen into our squad on free transfers is crazy. Would genuinely take us up another level creatively for a reduced outlay. Even more so when you consider there will be 5 subs next season.

To think that could then free up funds to go big on LCB and wing backs and we could be building a really serious team.

When you consider Conte wants players in for preseason too, that's easier to pull off with a few free transfers. No selling clubs stalling while they source replacements.

A #Conte is not interested in #Dybala , which so far - as already anticipated - has made contact only with @Arsenal . The Argentine could perhaps go to @SpursOfficial only in case of changing the technical guide.



No idea whether there is any truth

I like the notion that we, of all clubs, have a technical guide.

Sure.

Agents fees are always there, free transfer or not. It's the price of being at the top in world football. This is the reason why we've built a stadium that gives us 10x on our stadium generated revenue.

by some accounts Haalandhas cost City £40M in agents fees. This is a transfer where a club just needs to meet the sell on fee in order to talk to the player.

World class players dont come cheap, whether its a combination of transfer, agent fee or wages. Our club can maybe support 5/6 world class players (and that in itself is amazing). What is also amazing is that we already have 3-4 (Kane, Son, Lloris / Romero). We need to think carefully where we invest the money in the other 2.

Obviously I'd love to sign another world class player this summer but its what we do with the squad that matters this year. Filling the 6-7 first team and squad players that might not be world class but are a massive improvement on what we have will make a massive difference over 1-2 world class additions

To put things into perspective £5.2m allows a club to spend £100k a week on wages, per year.

If you've got 20 players already on £100k a week, that's £104m a year on wages. (20x100kx52)

So every £5.2m above that figure means that 1 player's wages are doubled to £200k, which is more or less 'world-class wage' territory.

I'm not sure what our financial figures are like these days, because Covid has skewed the end of year reporting, etc, but I would imagine there's still room to spend an extra £20m to £30m on annual wages, which equates to a few more world-class players joining.

I think I also read somewhere that match day revenues at the new stadium were as high as an extra £500k a week, which is massive and again, equates to the potential of more world-class players joining.

It’s way higher, or rather overall stadium revenue has increased massively. From a match day stand point the ticket revenue has more than doubled due to capacity increase and additional corporate and experience hospitality. Food and beverage sales have increased massively too due to more outlets, quicker service and higher prices. Then there’s all the revenue the stadium generates from non match days, such as skywalk, tours, hospitality, NFL, concerts etc….

It's referring to Conte saying conte doesn't want him and the only reason we would get dybala is if we get a new manager. Probably bullshit though

I imagine we have a significant amount of headroom for additional wages and transfer instalments coming out of covid lockdown. Revenue is continually increasing from the stadium and commercially (Getir/Cinch)and we already had by far the lowest wages to turnover ratio in the last set of accounts. When we eventually arrange a naming rights sponsor that will be another significant lump into the kitty.

I'd imagine we would be very well placed to offer on free agents such as Dybala, Eriksen, Johnstone, even Bale as a result of this. Even more so when you consider Paratici is also someone that has a lot of experience in these kind of negotiations.

Looking around it does feel like it's nailed on for Inter and these recent links are probably just late stage of negotiations stuff from his agent.

If Inter are indeed looking to bring in Dybala and sell Lautaro I hope we are at the front of the queue there. Wouldn't be cheap but he's a proper Conte player.

Does Conte want him? If he does, then lets do it

Not sure he will go to Inter. Did he not say he wouldn't? Not that he owes Juve anything, they have treated him very poorly
