Touch a nerve?

Hopefully we got a live one!

Lurker and proud, as noted in the summer transfer thread! I'd give you the thumbs up smiley if I knew how. Instead you get this! 👻

Lol! ---------------Higuain--------------- Keita---------Dybala--------Costa ---------Berna------Pjanic--------- --------------Back Four------------- ----------------Buffon---------------- Yeah, @Rollie is such a fool. Imagine judging our CF by the number of goals he scored...

Yup, very obvious that the hunt for a cm has slowed up since Max got a look at Bentancur in training. Hopefully this is a promising sign. Oh yeah, no need to point out I'm a lurker. The know it, and actively advertise myself as such.

This, basically. It's important to remember that this is an unconfirmed rumour. But if true, it's appalling behaviour. Dybala may have played badly, but this is hardly going to help. On top of that how does it impact on the rest of the team that one of the senior players is so rattled...

Maybe, but if you have a senior player questioning the coach it can do more damage than what he brings in the pitch. I'm only speculating, which is what everyone here is doing to be honest, but Bonucci does sometimes give the impression that it's all gone to his head a bit. We'd still have...

Is there a rational reason why everyone's panicking about selling Alex Sandro, or is it just over a few ambiguous words from Beppe's interview? I think we're more likely to sell Bonucci. He seems upset about the move to focus on attack rather than defence, I think he got used to the BBC...

Agree, I think he'd do good. I recall his best games for Madrid coming at LCM, playing a mezzala role which allowed him to roam to the wings. Since everyone is posting formations I'll join in - only 3 changes from our regulars, and genuine targets...

I'm playing devils advocate, but say Bonucci wants out and it's the difference between a €60 million major signing and a €100+ million mega signing? The one place we're loaded is defence, and we're shifting our focus to attack. One thing that's for sure is if Bonucci wants to stay he'll...

Not much to elaborate. If we sell Bonucci and cover off all our depth/promising talents needs then we can blow our entire budget on a few top level players. If we sold Bonucci, and that freed up funds for a mega bid on Verratti or Mbappe then Beppe could see it as worth it. The guys clinical...

Not that I agree with selling Bonucci.... But if we got all that depth it would leave the revenue purely for world class signings.

Thanks for the welcome! Totally agree. I look at this season and firstly we had to change the formation to fit the squad, then we had to change players roles to fit that formation. That's 2 levels of wrong right there! Even so we achieved massively, even if we fell at the last hurdle...

Those may be fair points, but it still doesn't address the fact we're playing Dybala away from the place he's most dangerous, and playing a defensive winger, which was glorious to watch, but doesn't make sense in the long term. We're making players fit the formation rather than the formation fit...

Too many people are overreacting to the performance in the final. It was one game, and it doesn't cancel out all the good things we've seen through the season. However it does highlight our problems and the limitations of an improvised formation which was put together to compensate for the...

Completely agree to be honest. I only put DS because he seems to be who they're going for. You could also replace Milinković-Savić with Fabinho I guess, since there's clearer links with him. I'm hoping Milinković-Savić is Beppe's under the radar signing that no one sees coming, but I...

Not liking the 4-2-3-1. It works ok in the league, but when teams press hard Dybala gets taken out of the game. Get: Tolisso Milinković-Savić De Scilgio Keita (or if we're dreaming Mbappe) Schick 4-3-2-1. Dybala and Keita in their natural positions, able to drift wide and link with...

Mandzuuuuuuuuuuu!

FFS.

Thanks - I'll have to hunt it down. I haven't seen a game live in the last 5 months as I've been traveling, so I don't want to miss this one! Watching the replays on $#!**¥ wifi really sucks.
