    Not sure if been posted today but bernardeschi to bologna seems like it's advancing.

    Unless he’s been an absolute disturbance in the locker room, I don’t see why the club would be in a rush to move him. I can see them waiting to see how things work out with the new coach/players and then go from there.

    mainly because he's been incredibly bad at football and from everything thats been reported a cancer in the dressing room.

    an attacking DP that hasnt scored or assisted in 3 months while on top 5 salary in MLS.

    I smell a rat, though, with it being Bologna. I can't see Joey Saputo shelling out for him after seeing the last three months of dreck.

    i think he'd be effective in a serie a side that's more balanced.

    just not the right player to be a DP though, way to easy to double team and not quick enough to beat MLS fullbacks.

    I'm thinking Joey is using his side hustle to lock in TFC budget on a long term loan out - a smart competitive move if you can pull it off.

    People can want Berna out but not on a loan where we pay the wages. Baring somebody willing to eat his contract, he stays.

    Bernardeschi is reportedly willing to take a pay cut to join Bologna, which will be decisive in negotiations. Bologna have a salary ceiling of €1.5M net + bonuses.


    Then it will be necessary to find an agreement between the clubs.

    I don't believe any of these. I think we'd have to be idiots to think he's willing to take a $5M a year paycut at age 28. It's not going to happen, at least not at those terms.

    If there's any truth in this, it's that his agents are looking for a new home, and have approached a team that can't afford him to see if they can spring an offer from one who can.

    Sounds like monza and atalanta are interested too.

    After some of the changes we've made this week - I'd see if they'd be welcome to get back into the starting 11 and see how they can get on with things, and if their moods change.

    Not stirring the pot - just relaying what we've read, but for starters it seems that Berna really didn't get on well with Bob and folks that were brought in for his system - Kaye being one of em.

    Kayes gone, Bobs been fired - they brought in two new midfield pieces and Jloome has mentioned they are actively seeking out a striker. So far, Jason seems to show that they are willing to pull the trigger on moves when there is an obvious weakness point. Media are stirring this pot up - but Berna is a very emotionally driven player - one might even use the word fickle to describe his free flowing temper and form. Whether that's good or bad for the club's stability is one debate, but if his mood can swing from being mr Let's Go TFC to 'fuck this place i'm out' after half a season - let's see if he becomes inspired with a few of the guys he wasn't a fan of no longer here, and a rebuilt midfield with a bit more pace and quality. Add a striker who has basic common sense to know when to hold up a ball, draw in CB's or make runs in behind the back line for goals - and his frown might quickly turn back the right way around (until we can find the best time/value to move him if he still wants it)

    I'd also be sort of hesitant to offload them atm unless the contracts are completely off the books with no loans, manoeuvring cap space, or hard feelings and its mutual termination

    Isn't Monza owned by Berlusconi? Wonder if the estate plan on selling the club now that he's no longer around. If they are - I can't see them getting aggressive into the transfer market

    Do we have any update on Laryea ? Manning's so called 10 day update is long gone.

    Molinaro said that there no news either way so nothing to report.

    This team is so inept at communication. Yes, lets hope our fanbase doesn't notice one of our best and most popular players going missing all of a sudden.

    Are you referring to Laryea? If so, has there been communication from Nottingham Forest? Or from the league?

    Because if not, could it be there's still some sort of negotiations going on behind the scenes?

    No, he's already gone.

    Forrest didn't extend O'Brien's loan, either. They're trying to shed at least ten players' contracts, Richie one of them, and another loan isn't going to help them do that.

    Signing someone means nothing.
    Seeing that guy on the field is something different entirely
    One is no guarantee of the other

    "Reportedly"? Interesting turn of phrase for something unsourced. Reported by whom?

    We got 10 days before we begin the Leagues Cup. Getting a permanent manager named and a striker in before the 26th would be ideal.

    This is too easy, I can live with eating his salary this year (playoffs are lost) but we have an easy Leagues Cup group. I still think we should make him prove himself. Any player that wants to quit TFC without putting it all in, doesn’t deserve to be saved, nor does the president who tries to save it. Even if it comes with a striker as a result.

    At this point, they might as well do that, and quite frankly it might be the smartest option to cast a wider net and make sure we hire the right person for ‘24.

    Marsch is also dogmatic and will want full control - nobody is getting that as manager here this go around.

    A pragmatic assistant is ok with me.

    Hiring pragmatic assistants has usually been the way to go in mls.

    Most cup winners in last decade had that.

    Fun fact: vanney was given the head coaching role for the last 10 games of the 2014 season.

    If someone is hired in next few weeks they'll be in the role for the last 10 games of this season.

    I don’t feel like Marsch (as much as he’s awful) has to attach himself to a situation as bad as ours with a boss like Manning. He’ll get somewhere else to land.
