    Ofc he does. Every striker misses sitters too. But Bonucci had many, many more games and moments where he was amazing in his role than Higuain had.

    Choking embarrassment is my pet name for him. He was like that only in CL, and two Coppa finals for us (that miss vs Milan :lol:) and for Argentina in 3 big finals. He also fucked up for RM vs Lyon (open goal and then Pjanić KOed them out later) and for Napoli vs Dortmund (bunch of sitters)...

    Not even close. Bonucci has proven himself as one our best players and leaders since Max came. He was absolutely world class in 99% of games in Europe. Higuain as we all know is laughable outside of Serie A. This deal is equal because Milan will get a potentially WC CB in Caldara. If he wasn't...

    Nah, we'll be stronger by getting a WC CB while also selling them a talented yet unproven CB and our choking embarrassment of a striker.

    Gonzalo Higuaín

    A year ago. He was never really 'fat' fat. Just slow, heavy, not agile, not explosive etc.

    Caldara. Rugani can be the best among them 3, Romagnoli included.

    Because David Luiz is a shitty, shitty player.

    Lol at people with comprehension problems. No one said he is the difference between success and not, but he gives you a better chance next year than Caldara.

    Yeah, I agree. There are some downsides for sure, especially if we don't win the CL in the next 2 years I would say, but it's a calculated risk. As I said, this is our best team in 10 years IMO, and if we don't win the CL title now when Real lost Ronaldo to us, Bayern has a young coach and not...

    We missed his playmaking ability a lot this season, so yeah he will improve the team. Especially with the kind of wing backs we have now, wingers and a striker who attacks open space. Just from defensive standpoint we don't need him, but denying obvious benefits offensively is not right.

    And I've got to say - I hate how this makes me seem like the biggest Bonucci fan ever when in fact I'm exactly the opposite. But I hate how people overreact to everything and make it seem like end of the world. - - - Updated - - - No, I'm making it clear both teams would benefit from it. Other...

    Do I need to post a dozen Higuain fails clips. Come on.

    No, I am not. Higuain was absolute disappointment in Europe save for 3-4 games. You're fine with it because 'he's the best we've had in a long time' and while that's also not true it's very misleading considering we shouldn't be judging him on our past players but on how much he was paid and...

    No, we were talking about a hypothetical scenario where this deal (Bonucci-Caldara swap and Higuain loan) took place. That's why I included them in the list. I wasn't talking about the team we have right this second.

    No man, I already said I am against this and if I was in charge I would shut the phone off rest of summer. I am simply saying this is nowhere near the end of the world people are making it to be. If Bonucci played like he did before for us for the next 2-3 years he is easily the better player...

    Ofc we're not because everything you wrote in that post is factually incorrect. Even if we agree that the Bonucci-Caldara swap is a joke for the future, we're talking about next season. Do you seriously think Caldara is going to be a starter? That he's going to make the difference next year...

    Summer Mercato Thread 2018

    If they were a joke it should be pretty easy to debunk, right? But you can't. Because you expected our most expensive player ever to shit all over himself in the biggest CL games we had over the last two seasons. Because you missed Bonucci dominating every single one of them other than the...

    SO many things are wrong here. 1. Bonucci didn't want out to Milan. Allegri set an ultimatum me or him and then Leo refused to leave Italy. His ego got too big. 2. He made errors any CB would make in that shithole of a team. When Gattuso took over everything was much better. Even if it wasn't...

    Yes, if you avoid all context those deals are comparable. We're going to ignore the fact Bonucci would cost WAY less annually, would have at least a million net lesser salary, would provide something we actually need, plays at a position where it's traditionally much easier to stay on top for...
