Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

Listening to RDZ's interview just wonder how much activity there will be in the summer window . "Sure not to change too many players " & "We need to complete the squad in the best way" were two quotes he made.
If all the sound waves are to be believed we have two coming in , Senesi and Roberstson at no transfer cost, RDZ also said he "100%" wanted Palhinha so that might be a permanent transfer.
With Maddison back and next season Kudus from the start & possibly Odobert from the start also Simons if a making quick recovery could be back by November just wonder what RDZ's plans are?
Not forgetting Deki , will he ever come back ?

Simons likely to miss next season isn't he? Maybe I read wrong.

We need some goal threats, badly

I was trying to be optimistic, NHS reckons recovery for acl is 6 month to a year, Simons is fit and healthy so hopefully he will make a quick recovery, maybe not November but some time in early 2027at least.
Yes a sensational striker would be good addition.

A functioning striker is essential I think. Concerns me when i check online the only links i see for strikers are youth strikers like Promise David and Tolu Arokodare who are both from the Belgium league i think. Not that I can necessary think of a better one other then Osimhen.

Think the problem these days is the build up to the transfer window , all the hype and how much is going to be spent , the more you spend the better you are, tell that to Pool fans , they spent a fortune last summer and went backwards.
Reading and listening to all talk coming from Vinai and the Lewis family I think they will back RDZ with whatever he wants but it may not be the star names that fans want, RDZ sounds very pragmatic to me and knows exactly what he wants for the squad.

100% we need the right players, not the most expensive, always been the case IMO.
 
i'd have ivan toney or osimhen - yep we need one or two top, top strikers

we need goals from everywhere, good to see Xavi, Gallgher and especially Palhinha contributing - and our fave PM Sarr

say 9 months to get back so end 2026, so perhaps missing 1/3 of the season.

Maybe nine months to be back playing but it'll take longer for him to get up to full match-speed and fitness where he can play 90 minutes. Plus, I expect anyone coming back from such a long layoff will have a lot of niggly muscle injuries...look at Rodri for instance.

I wouldn't expect much contribution from Xavi for the whole of next season, nor Odobert till Xmas.

My concern is that some players don't return to peak form after long term injury like these. I suspect Madds because of age and Kulu because of the way he plays.

So I agree that replacements are needed for some not all, but it's a tricky situation with their lack of playing time and valuations
