Maybe our team did play playstation too late

Wow, Italy haven't even created a half chance yet.

Honestly, if someone is willing to pay his residual value (will be 12m at end of June), I would seriously consider offloading him. Maybe Huijsen + Locatelli + ~15m for Koopmeiners. I am basing that of transfermkt value for Huijsen and the residual value for Loca. I have heard some that...

I have a sneaking suspicion that if the game is level at around 2/3rds of the way through the match. Neither team will chase the victory. Spain know they will still top the group with their last game against Albania. Italy never would have expected to top the group anyway and having 4 points...

Transfermkt has him valued at 30m which I think is fair. On the one hand, his season was fantastic and looks super confident on the ball. On the other hand, its one season so you don't know whether that was sustainable. But the fact Motta is our coach gives us more confidence he can continue...

Rabiot is still a good midfielder who I feel Motta will get the best out of. If he asks for a smallish pay increase, it will be a lot cheaper than getting someone else. Upside of him gone means we can get someone like K Thuram or Fofana who are younger and have upside potential and on lower...

I still wouldn't say no, I'm a nice guy like that.

I agree. I am almost ambivalent as to whether he stays or goes. I can see upside in both scenarios.

Hey so if Croatia lose or draw this match, does this mean a draw against Spain guarantees Italy progression to the next round you reckon?

Agreed. I always struggled to make a three way materialize

Lots of Italian papers still linking us with Zirkzee. I don't get why. No way we are getting a sub for Vlahovic of that market value - nor can I see Motta using a system where both Zirkzee and Vlahovic play in the same starting XI. His exit clause is fixed at 40m but the agent wants 15m and...

Depending on cost. But he send perfect for Motta as he can play on the left and be a back up for Vlahovic too.

At least the 1st and second kit are good

He and Yildiz were the best things about the last season. I hope we can find another hidden gem or promote someone from the next gen to be the next Cambiaso or Yildiz find.

If he is willing to take a pay cut and we can get him for his transfermkt value of ~12m - he might be worth considering. He could play on the left or be Vlahovic back up. He is an upgrade on Kean that is for sure - and he is costing us 15m gross in amortiations and gross wages. I can see...

Reminds of the time when Trapattoni didn''t allow his players to see their girlfriends and wives to "stay strong".

If an offer comes for 40m, we have to seriously consider it. Otherwise I would be tempted to keep him - he seems exactly the kind of winger that Motta likes. Is he ready to be a starter for us though? Having a squad player with 30-40m is a bit of a luxury.

A kind of agree but Djalo must be fully recovered by now. Danilo would be the right back assuming nothing else happens. From what I understand about Motta's system, the full backs are not that adventurous going forward - its the center backs that move forward and the full backs tuck in. So...

From what I understand he can do everything. Well rounded midfielder. Him and Fagioli would make a great double pivot behind Koopmeiners if that happens.

Motta likes his offensive wingers to play on the opposite side of their strongest foot. That means Chiesa on the left - the same place Yildiz would play. Soule` is left footed and would play on the right. Greenwood could play on either side as he is ambidextrous and has also played as a false...
