Don't disagree with that. For example the extension given to Bonucci seems a bit excessive in length.

We're talking about players that are 35+ like Fernandinho, not about players that are around their thirties or younger. I don't remember any 5 year contracts being given to players of that age.

When have we given a player of Fernandinho's age a multi-year contract? Gigi and Chiello for example signed one year contracts last summer and I remember us doing the same with Barzagli.

Damage control kinda deal. He still has a negative effect on our books.

True, but in their first two PL matches Traore had to play as a RWB, because they had no one else who could play there. They also have Podence and Neto for the LW position so don't necessarily need anyone else there.

With Semedo now playing RWB for them, Traore moves further forward and replaces Jota.

That pace though. I blame FIFA.

Yep, he changed formation after the first game and Mandzo rightfully started as he was in great form at the start of the season. His presence also greatly benefitted Ronaldo. My point is that over the whole season Allegri would have quite probably liked to use Costa more if he had the chance. He...

Douglito needs to somehow stay fit. We need him in top form when the important games are played later in the season.

Dougie C ballin all nigh lon.

Some of Costa's technical qualities are world-class as are some of his physical qualities like agility and pace. When on form he's right there with the best wingers in the world. His problems are that he hasn't been able to showcase those qualities on consistent enough basis and his end product...

Seemed to hold his hamstring. 2-4 weeks is my guess.

His price is still easily 40-50m. Wouldn't personally sell though. It's easy to judge and laugh at players when they are going through a rough patch.

I think people are being a bit harsh on him. He's having a tough season but he has kept his head down and continued working. It wouldn't be cheap to replace him with a player of similar ability. I'd only sell him if he really pushes for a move.

The Bonucci saga was completely different anyways. He had a row with Allegri and was left out at Porto because it needed to be made clear who is in charge.

Well we won't be seeing him in the Serie A for a while.

We have three high quality CMs in our team, definitely not a weakness for us. I'll give you the RB but we are constantly looking for a suitable player for that position. Getting more attackers was certainly the main priority this summer.
