Waiting for @Turk_Bianconero to see this

[s4tch]

let's see the next financial report. i guess the pogba deal and raiola's fee is the most important part of the whole sum.

[Negan]

Players should pay agents directly, it's ridiculous clubs have to pay players agents when they are doing the work for the player not the club

[Stephan]

Do you think we could still get some cash for Higuain.

Chelsea will want to replace Morata.

[Juliano13]

Chelsea will want to replace Morata.

swap

[Cronios]

More likely to give Manzdu his chance for a last good contract...

And yes Negan is right! (Always, i love Negan)

Yea I don't get it in most of the deals.

Sell Dybala and Higuain. Sign Balotelli for free.

Actually I would consider selling both and getting another WC CF like Cavani thats a guarantee to score domestically/Europe and a WC winger. Never gonna happen though.

I would sell both in a heartbeat to buy a #9 that can play well in a 4-3-3.

Same, because I'm starting to think Dybala will never get the chance to adapt to playing #9 here and as long as we have both him and Higuain, Max will feel obligated to play both.

I'm really starting to think Dybala will flourish once he goes to another team that plays to the best of his qualities. Did you notice how many times in the first half he was playing right flank? And then would drop back to where Pirlo used to be. We're hurting the kid and stopping him from taking the next step.

I don't think we're necessarily hurting him. To a certain degree he hurts himself because he can't fit into any functioning team. You see the same at Argentina.

For years now he has not developed his weak foot, not developed his passing skills, not developed his first touch and not developed his work rate. So he can't play RW because he doesn't run. He can't play CAM because he has no first touch or passing.

The best you can do is play him as a #9 with a powerhouse team behind him. Or play him as a David Villa with a powerhouse team behind and an elite false 9 to create space for him.

He has no chemistry with any ST we've ever played him with. The most chemistry he's had is when Mario plays ahead and drops balls down with his head.

[Hustini]

Dybala and Higuain don’t work together. Man, you would think it would be a match made in heaven.


This with our midfield needs some serious planning for next season.

I just realized you’re right, he hasn’t been able to fit into anything we threw at him.

I gotta say even though we assume he’d be at his most comfortable as a #9 given what we saw when he was at Palermo, we don’t really know what he is.

And he isn’t exactly Extraordinary at anything, really good at some things and poor at others (first touch, too physicially weak on the ball, horrible weaker foot, can’t head a ball. Etc).

Maybe we’ve been trying to make a star out of a good player. At 24 he doesn’t seem to have what it takes to be one.

This is actually the truth but don't let anyone else hear it.

I think he only has a star potential as a #9. He is good in the box and barely outside it. He is pretty ineffective everywhere else.

If he ever lands on a really strong team that puts the ball into him around the box all match, he could score 40 goals and be a "star".

[Cerval]

This is actually the truth but don't let anyone else hear it.

If he'd get to another top team such as Real Madrid, he'd make whoever is in agreement with that statement regret that thought

Let me explain it to you like you're five

you have 11 apples
3 apples are rotten with worms in them
4 apples are dented
2 apples have dark spots
2 apples are of great look and size but other farmers have better ones

which ones is it that you want to replace?
