I've never seen much of Draxler, but what bugs me is that he doesn't seem to be very mobile / proactive. And today, players who are not mobile and who have poor moving off the ball are almost vanished. Talent must be off the charts to make up for it.

Add to this the fact Khedira is also an uncertainty for now, and that we lost Vidal + Pirlo - and suddenly the deepest position in the squad is depleted. Vidal should not let go, damn it.

Sabatini strikes again, sold Mapou for 10M. Motherfucker Now they want Rudiger to replace him. And Digne is coming.

I'm not saying he will never recover. What I'm saying is that he may never fully recover. It's an assumption of a possibility, based on facts that his specific kind of injury is one that is very hard to overcome, and also that the first expectancy was of 3-4 months. Now we have nearly 10 months...

The darkside is that they keep constantly underpaying the value of kit sponsorship. I'm sure in open market we'd strike better deals.

I'd be good on him for 10-12M (TOPS) and being brought to play as a CM. Right now we have 4 men to 4 positions in the midfield, + Dybala (but Allegri already said he doesn't consider him a trequartista). Padoin is not good enough to play in the midfield, but he can do the job as a backup LB...

I'm not fond of stopgaps, so I'm good with Siqueira not being signed. If you are looking for a LB, spend money on him and get a great one. But it's not happening this mercato. Marotta won't pay 25M for Alex Sandro, that's his price and he'll go to the EPL. Let's see what midfielders they come...

I'm definitely not counting on him. His injury will probably linger till he retires, he'll have a lot of problems with this, athleticism may be compromised. Just will count on him when I see him performing well and regularly. Till then, it's a no go.

What was probably holding the deal was news about Asamoah's recovery. Good news it is, then they are back counting on him and no longer will need a LB. But still, given Asamoah's injury nature, we don't know if he'll ever be back, at least to what it was. Problems with knee cartilage are very...

Not an exciting transfer, but numbers are decent and he may be useful. Now, maybe the fact they finally decided to go after a LB may be really telling about Asa's situation... if he indeed has a problem at cartilage, his career is at jeopardy right now. Definitely shouldn't count on him right now.

Actually from what I've seen he just repeated what every player says. What were his words exactly?

Lol Totti is Roma n. 10. The kid is stepping on a nest of snakes and barely knows it. But it doesn't matter, he's already a millionaire and basically has already succeeded in taking his whole family out of poverty. :) - - - Updated - - - That Bacca guy kind of reminds me of fatnaldo. It's...

Damn, I don't understand shit about cars, tried to pick anything, Honda came to mind. So let's say Sabatini is driving a Sauber and Marotta a Red Bull or stg like that. You got the idea. :) - - - Updated - - - If Roma manages to see Gerson's adequate position (if there is one), he can work...

I've never said he's on par with Marotta. What I said is that they do well what they were supposed to do. Actually, both overachieved. It's Roma, man. They've won 3 scudetti in almost 100 yrs.

Sabatini works with what he's got, and that's the 4th biggest club in the country. Pretty different from Juventus, with half the budget. Of course the owner is investing, but still, they traditionally can't keep their best players, gotta find talent, make it a cycle and also get results with it...

not at all, I think both do excellent jobs for both clubs, despite some bad deals that are bound to happen to any SD in the world, when you involve so many money and transfers.

The good work of one of them doesn't exclude the good work of the other one. I don't get why people think it's mutually exclusive.

Doumbia was as bad as Martinez... Iturbe was overpaid, but has potential, is on low salaries and can easily be resold for his near bought value to any EPL team, Sanabria cost 3M, and the rest is only due in bonus if he is established on the first team. Now he's getting Digne for peanuts + Bruno...

Has anyone actually see this Donsah guy play? I remember only his game against Roma, and it was bad

Dzeko price: 4M loan + 11M obligation if he plays a number of games + 3M bonus. Sabatini is a fucking genious!
