Arkadiusz Milik - ST - Napoli (18 Viewers)

[s4tch]

There's no way I'll take milik for 40 if i can have icardi for 50

icardi is a ticking bomb, no wonder marotta fired him after a couple of months. that should be a big enough red flag, even if you don't consider any other events of his rich history of being a knobhead.

the last player i'd sign.

when it comes to the strikers, not convincing raiola to bring haaland here was paratici's biggest mistake, by quite a margin.

But ok. Let's go for Milik instead. Cool.

it's not milik instead of icardi, it's milik instead of players like rebic or haaland who was available a couple of months ago for chips.

anyway, i'm already settled for milik, rumors are too strong, we're going to get him, and overpay as usual. it is what it is.

in France they mention Lacazette so if no Mr. X it's between these two.

We may think we're getting this guy as a backup, but he will inevitably get a lot of playing time (once his knees hold up) since Dybala is not a CF and neither is Ronaldo.

And it will probably be at the cost of Dybala hitting the bench regularly lol.

Instead of playing with a third tier CF and having Juventini and Dybala pissed off, might as well sell Dybala and get a top CF. Fuck this halfway shit.

So we will better get player that willing to be backup, has proven record in Serie A and we can depend on them when they play
And my suggestion is Muriel or Joao Pedro, so Juventini and Dybala will happy

We don't plan like that though. We will end up giving Dybala lucrative extension then sign Milik so Sarri will be forced to play all three at once and the team will be unbalanced as fuck.

Then just fucking keep Higuain at that point.

Lacazette? Really?

 

[j0ker]

I'd rather Lacazette.

We have enough injury prone players.

 

[Robee]

If that is normal injury, then I will not said that. this is ACL
Let's another team take that risk, we better go for healthy Aouar

Yes and a ACL injury is nothing nowadays. Certainly not at his age... I'd take Zaniolo over Aouar any day of the week and twice on sunday. He's more physical and Italian...

 

[rainhard]

What happen with Pjaca?

 

[Robee]

What happen with Pjaca?

And one example says what exactly? I rehabbed around 16-17 ACL injuries last season. None of them relapsed.

Btw. We bought Pjaca without an ACL injury....

Yes, I know the fact that Pjaca come here without an ACL
What I am thinking is, not every players recover and can fully their potential after an ACL injury
Even if they dont feel the injury, at least that will affect them mentally and how they play in the field

If after Zaniolo moves to Juventus and he cannot fulfill his potential as he should be like what happen to Pjaca then that is a really bad investment

 

[Cerval]

Id take Aouar over Zaniolo

 

[MikeM]

Ah yes, Lacazette. Older, worse at basically everything than Dybala (except heading?) and somehow SHORTER. That is the #9 we need.

It's just reaching. Pjaca is an exception, not the rule... 99% of the players are not affected at all, not mentally, not physically.

If buying Pjaca is the example for ACL injuries, Matuidi is the example for buying another french fucker.

You can like Aouar, I understand, he's good. But trust me the ACL is not a concern at all.

Falcao was ruined by his ACL injury too. It happens much more often than just Pjaca

Marchisio, Caceres...

It certainly happens, but not often. You can get ruined by any injury by the way. And in that logic we need to sell Demiral and De Ligt as well because a dislocated shoulder is much more of a recurring problem.

Yeah, it basically says football is a risk factor. That's about it.

The single biggest risk factor of any injury out there is having had the injury before. That doesn't mean re-injury is common 'though. It's baffling how these ACL injuries are still viewed as some kind of demon... In Del Piero's day they were limiting, not anymore if all goes well.

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

Yeah, it basically says football is a risk factor. That's about it.

Of the 684 players from the Swedish National Knee Ligament Registry that participated in the study 51% returned to football, 32% to the same or higher level and 18% to a lower level than before the injury. For the 49% that did not return to football 32% did so primarily due to reasons related to the operated knee and the remaining 17% quit primarily for reasons unrelated to the knee injury. The most common knee-related reasons for not returning were pain and/or instability (16%), followed by fear of reinjury (10%).

Of the players who returned to football, 28.7% (odds ratio [OR] 2.3, p < .001) reported that they had additional ACL injury, 9.7% (OR 2.9, p < .001) had a graft failure and 20.6% (OR 2.1, p < .001) had a contralateral ACL injury.

There's a difference, we already own them. If Demiral has reoccurring problems or has lost it (hopefully not), we'll have to part ways since its not sustainable. For de Ligt its not as bad as having a problem to his leg

Besides going for increased risk is not a good idea when you have the choice. What good is it to have squad prone to injuries.
