I expect Como to struggle next year with the demands of European football and end up near the relegation places. Likely to be Paz's last season at the club(26-27) and Fabregas will probably do one more year(27-28) before taking a top job somewhere else. Reminds me very much of Malaga.

Como need to sign some actual Italians if they want to have a prayer of meeting the UEFA squad requirements. Played a completely overseas XI and sub nearly every week.

It's all less stressful this summer because I have less reasons to fundamentally question the competence of the people making transfer decisions.

His release clause is around 35 million.

You might want to look at who Como is backed by.

 

Because 35m is pocket change lol. Granted considering this story comes from Graeme Bailey I don't think it's anything to worry about tho.

And 200m is pocket change to our owner, doesn't mean we're buying Yamal. Their most expensive signing ever is £20m.

Their owners are worth about 50 billion. They can afford it and he's exactly the kind of player they've been targeting (19-23, with a Spanish focus).

 

They do have an issue of complying with UEFA FFP rules however and could probably do with bringing in more domestic talent.

Or maybe Spain are focusing on their opening game and we have to wait until after Monday?

If last summer should have told everyone anything, it’s that a season of European football - even in the most elite competition - isn’t enough of a motivating factor for most players.

 

The lad isn’t picking Como over us unless we’ve low-balled his pay package.

The thing is though, now they are in Europe they have to adhere to SCR rules.

I’m not sure if Serie A has financial restrictions, with the financial state the league is in it would very likely be detrimental if they do, but UEFA have it covered.

Pretty sure the rules the Premier League has in place to hold us down don't apply to Italian clubs mind.

 

Correct me if I'm wrong and they have similar things in place but this seems like a strange comparison to make. There's a reason Como have flown up the league and it's not because it's a pretty place to live in.

It does have rules that are similar to UEFA scr. And of course they have now qualified for Europe and will be directly affected by UEFA rules.

Showtime:) begins, You have to make a good offer and then goodbye, either he accepts or not, if he wants to come he comes if not then he doesn't. Let's not play the same story because that's just clowning. There are a lot of talented players, you just have to look for them.

If true, a young keeper and Gordon's replacement before July is pretty good work Mr Wilson.

After that it'll be a right-back you'd think? Could see us try and get someone who can play both full-back positions to save having to sign two this summer.
