Atomic Winter mercato 2016 (41 Viewers)

[Zacheryah]

Now lets delve into those 'facts':

Fabregas had 1 team after him when he was ejected from Barcelona. He is a 'top' CM deemed surplus to requirements in Barcelona and replaced with Rakitic. He hasn't set the world alight at Chelsea either.
Gundogan is still 're-attracting the interested teams'.
Isco is top3 AM (worldwide? ), but he is behind James Rodriguez in Real and even Rodriguez isn't a starter! Top 3 AM might miss the EUROS too, guess he is too good for those...

Also the transfers we do always depend on the team we have and the targets we chase. This team is literally maxed out in Italy, in fact it's almost unplayable - so there is literally only one target left - CL glory! For that you can't go alone on "Seria A talents" or excellent "second choices" and unless we make the right moves we are going to miss a hell of a generation and opportunity.

I see you try to convince your fellow peasants to follow in your disgusting imagination. And go on to tell blatant lies to convince them. It simply doesnt work like that, luckely.

Fabregas was world class at arsenal, and had to fit into a barcelona that had Iniesta and Xavi. Despite this insane competition, he easely played 30+ games in the competition and around 50 in total for each year he was in spain, despite injury setbacks. When chelsea came, he accepted. Barcelona tried to convince him to stay, but he had made up his mind, because he wanted to be a keyplayer rather then a first team player.
This is offcourse, far from "surplus to requirements". At chelsea he played pretty good despite having a coach that restricts his creativity alot. This season he went down with the team in EPL, but is still decent in the CL.
So he didnt really lost any of his appeal.

Gundogan : Is playing at his old level. Best player of the team. Dortmund ruled out any sale. Smart as they are, they know if he continues like this, his old suiters will return this summer. he'll never go in january. And he'll either stay or go to an EPL team in July.

Isco : Is playing in a team wich has by far and away the greatest competition for the AM position. Yet he plays in most of their games, starts in over half of them, and gets in good stats despite playing various positions. Chelsea and Manchester city are interested.


We have come far with our style of management, and we remain realistic. We can do an Inter and spend lavishly over our budget to aim for CL glory, but that isnt guaranteed. What is guaranteed is the financial fallout following the overspending, as both Inter and Milan endured. We are not fed by EPL cash, we arent fed by oil and we arent fed by insane tv contracts. We need to do it our way.

If Zidane takes over at Real Madrid then Isco will be one of the last players they'll sell

 

[Klin]

If we sign Gundogan, Zach's head would explode.

 

[Osman]

I try to avoid replying to Zach posts, but he actually just said Gundogan is best player for Dortmund this season... and even if I only seen 4 of their games, it oughta clearly be (on sheer numbers alone):

Only Bundesliga player competing with and at times outdoing Robert Crapandowski and Thomas "I love @lgorTudor" Muller.

Indeed.


Tho any coach that they hire should make sure Isco stays either way. Benitez doesnt like him and Isco seems to hate him, Real camp will party like Napoli's one did soon.

 

[j0ker]

They have enough AM to not miss him a bit.

And knowing Real they will get whoever excels at Euros, marketing is all that matters for them.

I tend to rate midfielders higher then forwards, because i believe they make more impact. Especially a type like gundogan.
Objectively speaking, Gundogan is their best midfielder, and by far most important one. Overall, both him and Aubameyang are their best players.

The thing with Gundogan is, that he's the complete package, but also manages to make the team around him play significantly better. Bitter few players do it that well.

Randomly ran into German NT team bus today.... "die Mannschaft" What a pathetic attempt to replicate a cool team nickname like Selecao or Azzurri @DAiDEViL die mannschaft

Lol agreed, we used to tease a german exchange student back in the day during NT tourno's, we didnt care he was Swiss Die mannschaft sounds so friggin gay and lame.

Would La Nazionale not be the more direct comparison for Die Mannschaft?

No, that would be la squadra. Which the Italians never say. They either say la nazionale or gli azzurri. Sometimes perhaps la squadra azzurra, but never just la squadra.

Please @Mark, get us Isco already Isco sogno possibile

 

[LiquidPLP]

If Zidane takes over at Real Madrid then Isco will be one of the last players they'll sell

Yeah. In fact I'm pretty sure they'll sell nobody, because Perez realizes Zidane is a hit or miss thing. If Zidane fails nothing happens - Perez will hire someone else for the job in the Summer and Zidane will leave to coach some French team.

Right now Perez wants to get fresh air into the locker room and if the problems with Benitez are real, then I can see why he's doing it.

benitez out it seems T_T

there go our almost nonexistent isco hopes

I'm ok with getting Matri if the cost is insignificant. Ultimately, I'd rather have a 4th striker who is happy playing as a 4th striker than someone who will make a fuss about playing time. Matri as a fourth striker on Juventus is absolutely acceptable as long as his wage is reasonable. Mandzukic, Dybala, Morata, Matri is not bad depth. And while Matri isn't ideal in Champions League - against the Hellas Veronas of the world, he is all you need.

As for Isco, if Rafa is gone, it will be more difficult. That being said, if Hazard moves to Real Madrid, they will sell someone, and if that someone is Isco or James Rodriguez, Juventus has got to go all in.

Another player that could make sense is Nasri. I think he is criminally underrated, and can play CAM, CM, CDM, or as wide playmaker. What most do not know is that he has played as a deep lying midfielder before. He could be cheaper too given the unnecessary rotation of talent at City. As far as I am concerned, as a team that isn't going to pay like RM or an EPL club, the best way to compete is to find teams that turnover players in complete excess and acquire them for reasonable fees.

If Hazard goes to RM, there will be a player sold.
If City buys an unnecessary attacker, Nasri will be sold.
If Chelsea wants to revamp the team due to the collapse, Oscar may be sold.
If United makes a big purchase, maybe Mata is sold.
Perhaps even PSG?

Barcelona, Bayern, and Arsenal turn over their players less so those teams are lesser opportunities. Although Barca did sell Ibra once.

I dont like Matri at all to be honest. But players like him and llorente, who are willing to get the bench and being fairly good when called upon, is all what we need.

Except Llorente had 4m wages and Matri should be significantly lower

 

[LiquidPLP]

In the end Zaza won't leave. We'll be better off with Zaza and Matri at Lazio.

We invested quite a lot of money in Zaza and he proved to be a useful player so far. He'll go to France anyway that's how bad Italy's options are up front.

Look Zach, your BS stinks from a mile and everyone smells it.

Fabregas WAS 'world class', but couldn't fit into Barcelona cause Xavi stood on his way to being a key member.

Gundogan best player in a team where everyone wants the CF and we dream of the LW. Yeah, lets skip this brain fart.

Isco is 'top3' AM worldwide, BUT too much competition sees him having 'good stats' by YOU, but according to his camp and NT coach - he is RM BENCH and not NT starting material. I suppose they didn't read your memo.

Also the financial fallout that you are fantasizing about is less likely to happen to Juventus, than say having Hellen of Troy time-travel straight onto your dick followed by the ae-gay-en greek army.
