I want Tolisso here but as DM (next to Pjanic or Marchisio) not as Trequartista . He was horrible yesterday did not kn ow what to do. Fekir usually plays there, but against Roma Genesio played more a physical game.

To be honest whilst I rate Tolisso, I feel we need a central midfielder with more attacking qualities than what I've seen from him this season.
If I was asked to name one player who I believe would add more flair, guile and vision to the current starting XI Thomas LEMAN currently at Monaco is the one.
He would be a perfect compliment to Marchisio, Pjanic and Cuadrado/Rincon.
At 21 yrs of age his €55m price tag (justified) represents excellent lack of depreciation.

Nah - playing with cuadrado, Mario, pjanic, dybala, Sandro, Alves and Higuain in one formation we need a hardworking "complete" midfielder. We have enough attacking prowess in the field at one time.
2017/2018 - 39 injuries.
2015/2016 - 64 injuries.
Lurkers have rights too.
I hope we tie this one up asap before Lyon win the Europa League and EPL goes crazy for him.
Did you mean Thomas Lemar? If you did - He is a great player seems like the kind of player that is very hard to stop!
Honestly Monaco have many great players: Lemar,Mbape,Fabinho,Bakayoko (who reminds me of a less skilled version of Pogba as he is strong and very agile seems to jump around like a gazelle...)
All are interesting players but what we need first is a complete player who can play in center midfield and help Marchisio and Pjanic adding some quality in the process... Tolisso isnt a master dribbler or a master scorer but he is very good at everything and the only thing that Id like to see us sign for center mid that he doesnt possess is muscle (something Bakayoko for example can add but Bakayoko is not at Tolisso`s level yet)
I wouldnt say a straight no for Lemar though as I wouldnt rule taking him along with a cm in a playmaker/winger role
How much would Bakayoko cost if we want him?
Apologies for the mis-spelling of Thomas Lemar. Too much mid-afternoon Barolo!
All are currently worth between €35m and €55m with Manchester United being linked to Bakayoko yesterday.
Lemar, as you rightly say is just the kind of player that would compliment the midfield and help drive the possessional tempo at a faster pace to give better service to Higuain and co up front.
Agnelli needs to bite this particular bullet and tell Marotta to tie it up. The pair (Lemar and Tolisso) could be picked up for around €85m. with Khedira, Zaza and Lemina sold to reduce the nett cost.

Lemar is basically a winger. I like him but what can we do with him? Little or nothing, can only play on the left in or 4-2-3-1 He can not play next to Pjanic or Marchisio. Bakayoko could and I like him , like I like Fabinho who I prefer over Bakayoko like I prefer Tolisso. Tolisso or Fabinho in the 2 and I am very happy if one of the 2 join us.They are more all round than Bakayoko which is similar to Kondogbia. But right now any Monaco player will cost a lot, many team want them , they are the flavor of the day, cause of the CL, were they play beautiful offensive football.

I see us going back to a 3 man mid if we sign Tolisso, be it 4312, or Xmas tree.
We just don't have the Attackers to play 4231 day in day out. Maybe we are going to buy some, we will see, but going back to a 3 man mid and 3 attackers looks more likely IMO. 4231 seems to be a temporary solution because of our midfield situation.
Oh - and i know i'm not Hustini. Still wanted to answer though![]()

in: tolisso, alexis, orsolini and meret (both are still only 20, so not relevant to the 25-man squad for an other year)
out: one of lemina/stu/rincon, neto
tolisso can play cm and am, sanchez can play on both wings and as a cf, so allegri would have +2 players for the same 4 spots. also, alves and sandy might be used as backup wingers, too.
btw i watched lyon's both games against roma and their away game @ psg last night. tolisso played as an am against roma (great performance at home, anonymous at roma), and as a cm in a double pivot for their 4-2-3-1 @ paris (an other good game for him personally, despite the loss). i'm starting to be convinced that he'd be a good addition.
Dude let's be real who are you going to sell Rincon to??? we bought him not even 6months ago!!! and you'd need to get at least what? 8m? Not likely.
Sturaro is a under 23 and will stay in the team.
Neto will go but where? and Meret kid gonna warm the bench for a year or two till Gigi retires?
