I'm sure he'll be ready for a pay-cut in order to play regularly here.
That's the only way any club would consider buying him at this point. He's getting 5.5mln/season at City, which is crazy.

Would we be willing to offer him 3.5-4mln per year? That too seems unlikely IMO.

Btw, many people complain about our LWB, but after this season I don't think Conte even considers replacing Asamoah.

we had the wage discussion before. even if he takes a 50% wage cut he earns almost as much as chiellini/marchisio, more than vidal and way more than barzagli/bonucci/asmoah etc.
personally i think that´s too much. and no, "but, but, but we paid 3mio to iaquinta" isn´t a very strong argument ;)

having said that: 6mio would be a great deal though ^^

Beacase many people forget about AFCON and Conte don't. Asa was beast before it and after it Conte said that he shouldn't let him on the field so early beacuse he was very tired. Still, we have great players at all positions, now we need to have great backups or solid competition at all postions.

I was worried we'd have Llorente - Higuain upfront. Not because it wouldn't work, but because IMO that partnership required much more penetration on the flanks. But with Tevez now, I don't think it's a slightest problem.

the reason why conte wants this kolarov is because he is good in the air. asamoah and zuniga are quite short compared to kolarov so they are not fully able to intercept crosses. i think conte is trying to go back to 4-3-3 in the champions league instead of 3-5-2.:confused:
