Question Given the backlash towards the Luis Diaz news, what would you prefer be done with 85M?

Gyokeres, Sesko, Lookman, Osimhen, Nico, will all cost less than 85M. Heck, even Milos Kerkez the most sought after LB in the world, costs half that amount at around 40M. All the above purchases leave enough funds to purchase Joan Garcia or a fullback backup if we wanted as well. How would you use the funds if you were Deco?

The problem with Leao is inconsistency & laziness. You remember the kind of players we had under Koeman? So many just not running, not trying, so many shots hitting the post. These players are a risky buy. I think it's better for us to avoid him, the only club that should be signing him is the one he really wants to play for. Same as Dembele, just wouldn't perform for us, but WANTED to play for PSG so is doing good there.

The dembele part is some bs the team didn't train as it was under control of big name players that didn't wanna yrain and a player as explosive as dembele suffered from it and didn't get continuity we didn't get the real dembele until xavi arrived and changed things and the only injury he had was a mid lasting injury (1 month and a half) he was the best winger in the world under xavi and he remains at that lvl under luis Enrique just not the best winger in the world as lanine is better

His end product was ass & he was really injury prone. His first year in PSG was also kinda dogshit

It's now that he's the 'star' in a team full of expensive stars in an very non-taxing easy league, plus it's his home country & a place he wants to be in

I genuinely think he'd never be good for us (until he turned 30 or something)
