Part of my curiousity around the push for Perisic is that I can't figure out now what Inter's plans are regarding formation. - - - Updated - - - Nah, those guys were clearly on the way out of their clubs. I haven't seen any clear indication that Wolfsburg actually want to sell Perisic.

He might spend the money on Zaza in isolation. But I have a rather higher opinion of Zaza than pretty much everyone else around here.

Need to see what he's like when he's not playing while carrying an injury.

Think so.

11.5m, by my count.

Can someone explain to me why Inter are pushing so hard for Perisic? He's an okay player, but not one that has ever looked remotely worth the size of fee that is being spoken about.

An underwhelming performance, but an okay result considering it was our first game of the season. Ward Logan-Taylor-Reynolds-Considine Jack Flood------Shinnie McGinn---------------Hayes Rooney Wasn't any need to play the extra midfielder instead of the trequartista. Meant that...

That poster is quite right. It's extraordinary how over the top criticism of Ogbonna has become around here.

I was at that game. Storari was probably Juve's best player:

Think that was just the sporting justice system back then. This is Italy's criminal justice system springing into action.

:boh: Can only think it is all already agreed, because the deal wouldn't really seem to work if either Atletico or Turan was able to block the deal.

The value of the euro against the pound makes the fee look unreasonably low. The 18-20m euros that is being spoken about is fair for Darmian, but suddenly it sounds cheap when put in pounds because of the weak euro. - - - Updated - - - Had some issue with the forum not letting me edit the...

Hamsik needs to play more in midfield than he has been used by Benitez, who has pushed him pretty close to Higuain. Mazzarri's counter-attacking style also suited him better than the more dominant style Napoli have used in the last couple of years. As highly as I rate Hamsik, I'm not convinced...

Indeed. If that volley doesn't demonstrate how much Bonucci's defending has improved, I don't know what does.

Was the right time for Pirlo to leave Juve. Still a shame to see the end of one of the players that has been most enjoyable to watch over the last 10-15 years.

I am suggesting you are taking a ridiculously over-simplistic view as to what is required from a trequartista - particularly when it is a trequartista to play behind two forwards.

Because the people in the Press making up the stories are shitheads.

And the deepest midfielder's job is to defend. Pirlo was shit.

Of course any number of innocent parties suffer in these situations, but I was keeping the narrow focus on the parties most directly involved.

Indeed and it's another example of the banks suffering very little for their part in financial crises. For every reckless borrower there is a reckless lender, but in this sitaution there seems to be a determination that only the borrower should suffer.
