Honestly, we should go all in on for Coentrao. He's is leaving for sure, and he is one of the best LB's out there. Furthermore, he is perfect for both LWB and LB and has all the offensive qualities we are looking for. It might turn out to be an impossible transfer if he is going to be used in an exchange for example for Bale or if Monaco or City go bananas, but we should give it a run for the money.

Kolarov would be excellent as well, but I'm not fully convinced he would bench Asamoah either. However, he would definitely be a welcomed addition.

:tup: spot on

I really would like to see Kolarov here. I know he has not been great for city but to be fair at city he is always in and out of the team and never gets to play himself into form and City is not as organized as we are here if Kolarov pushed up he would be covered by Chiellini and Marchisio also comes back to slot in and help. I am not sure who I would start between Asa and Kolarov in the 352 but for sure we will need him for the 433 as DC is not up to par and is probably leaving. So it is really Kolarov in and DC out and that is a huge upgrade.

Also, Kolarov would be invaluable for when we are a goal down and opponents are packing their defense cuz he can whip in some of the best crosses I have seen and we have a striker like 6 foot 5 Llorente waiting and 6 foot 4 Pogba making late runs into the box. So even if Asamoah is the starter Kolarov is dangerous off the bench and his left footed free kicks from the right side of the field give us yet another weapon. People in football have short memories and many have forgotten that at Lazio he was considered to be the star fullback with Licht being the number two. Look at what Conte did for our other players. I am positive he can bring Kolarov back to the levels where he was the most sought after LB in the world at one point with Mourinho trying to bring him to Inter and then later Madrid.

Having Kolarov and Asamoah in the squad would make our Left side extremely strong, somethign it has not been in ages. Also dont forget about the dip in form Asamoah had last season. Just imagine if he did not recover or if he got injured for the whole season. With the CL, Serie A and coppa Italia we need to have 2 Quality players in each position and we are almost there. If we have the Kolarov of the Lazio days in our team we will be very very strong. Top players in every position.

    He is like 2 years younger than Licht too.

    Your right and well said but they only problem is Kolarov wants to start and does not want to be apart of another rotation set up. now obviously we really dont know whats in kolarov head but from what he said that he wants to start i dont know if he'd be okay with it. I am pretty sure City want him off their wage bill so this deal will be accepted, i think its all up t what Conte says he wants and expects from him. we'll see.

    I think we should trust him and play him at 3-5-2 and use Asamoah at CM. If the worst happens we can just not take the full option on the loan.

    TBH in the 3-5-2 I can't see how anyone is shifting Lichtsteiner and Asamoah. We don't really want another Isla situation.

    Kolarov would contrast Asamoah to a large extent, as we expected with Lichtsteiner and Isla, but having two 'starters' stops being a luxury if the other player doesn't hit the ground running.
    There are plenty of players that could shift Asamoah from the LWB spot. Kolarov is probably not one of them. I say it all the time but Coentrao would be incredible for our left flank.

    No doubt Coentrao is a fantastic player but I think Kolarov for les then half of what City paid for him is too good a deal to pass up. He also has a great deal of Serie A experience. We would have to pay triple to sign Coentrao. After all, Madrid did pay 30 million Euro for him. I am sure Ancelotti would value him as well.

    Tevez, Llorente and Kolarov, it will be great work from Marotta .. I would think we would have enough money for Jovetic too. Heck we might end up making a profit this summer if we can offload some players. I would love for Giovinco to have a big game tomorrow and then a club like Liverpool or Tottenham come in with 15-20 million for him :lol: that would make the summer perfect
