It's not just about Pirlo though. We know Pirlo's weaknesses but the problem is that he's also benching Marchisio, who at DM, is possibly one of the better ones you will find. Just sublime at stopping counters, excellent at releasing the ball quickly. Has no real weaknesses at DM. Even his...

I'll tell you one thing. If this move guarantees that we're playing Vidal-Marchisio-Pogba as much as possible, I will be way happier. But if we're planning to play Sneijder and Pirlo at the same time. Just :sergio:

Even for 7M it's short-sighted. It's a move just to stay ahead of Roma and nothing else. It gives us little for the future. There's no doubt that Sneijder will help us. I'd rather he get the ball at the top of the box than Pereyra. But it's a sunk cost. To me it's a lateral move. Not quite...

The problem is 4-3-1-2 sucks.

Forget Sneijder. Forget this formation.

Oh god, just the mere mention of the name Sabatini makes me :tuttosport:

Every time we sign anyone near 30 years old or above we have to talk about Anelka. Like as if he was brought here to lead us to glory and flopped instead of being brought as 5th choice striker on a loan for 5 dollars and let go at end of season.

This is 100% our "problem" right now. We don't want to make any drastic changes that could result in us taking a step back for a year while we find new players for a more modern system. Right now we're trying to slowly (ever so slowly it seems) transition to a more modern approach but we don't...

There is a stark contract in pace between Europe and Italy. Pirlo can barely have a second on the ball in Europe but in Italy he can do whatever he wants still. Let's not pretend that Sneijder was not effective in Serie A with Inter. He was. He was almost Golden Ball material at one point...

Well it means you can't keep up athletically. There is no doubting his shooting or passing so that's all it can be. That's why he would probably be fine in Serie A. He's not worth paying money for but I'm sure he won't be the reason we lose games. He'd probably contribute against these small...

Well ya he's a CAM. There are few CAMs out there, let alone ones that would be attainable, that can beat their man. Even 50M CAMs like Mata, Ozil and Fabregas can rarely play with pace. It's obvious we'd be targeting Sneijder for Serie A since he's CL tied. In Serie A I think he'd be...

Is there any talk of price yet? I mean, I would take him for free. You can do worse than to find players to help win a 4th straight scudetto. I don't want him but he could probably still do damage in this league. He has skills from outside the box so when we have possession against parked...
