Where are you getting €30m from?

 

Buy on AliExpress.com

Reports say that they want 25-30mln for him.

Then again, same reports say that we won't offer more than 15mln euros.

Even 20m.

I think we should offer 10-15 max. His contract expires next year and he is not necessarily an upgrade over Marchisio and Khedira.

I doubt we'll offer more than €20m for him, and that would be a late panic

Experienced CM?

Nainggolan
Kroos
========
Matuidi
Rakitic
Moutinho

Two unobtainable players, best of the rest.

He isn't but he's not meant to be, you want an upgrade on those players and you pay €40m+. Matuidi is a completely different player for a different role.

N'Zonzi can be placed there.

Dunno why but I see us getting Matuidi 99%. It's just my guess. I don't even think we're considering Can or others.

Yes of course It's a pretty small list of players who are actually "experienced" and would add anything to Juve.

Another one of those meh transfers. I don't understand why a CL Finalist two of the past 3 seasons can't actually do better than a Matuidi. We should be shopping at the gourmet market, maybe not purchasing top of the line products, but we shouldn't be rummaging through the garbage disposal unit either.

Is Matuidi really the best we can do? We're probably gonna offer him a 4 year contract as well, so we'll be stuck with him well past his sell by date, as he has no resale value.

Dragging on whilst they complete Neymar's transfer. Once that's sorted, and they need to start clearing their books, Blaise will be on a plane to Italy!

Beppe hellbent on the CM being experienced rather than one that is young/up and coming.

Depends how much of our budget we are putting towards a CM. If we were putting €50m to it then maybe we'd start talking about random players (I can't think of any in that range tbh, only those more expensive). We aren't putting €60m-€80m to a CM, that is obvious (barring a big surprise). So who from this "gourmet market" would we buy?

Matuidi isn't garbage but I think this all falls on deaf ears at this point. We're looking for a certain type of player, not a replacement or "upgrade", the favourite term here. Would Matic for €45m have improved on what we have? No, but improves on what we don't have. What we don't have is a physical CM.

Then go for Nzonzi or Pereira from Porto. I believe both can be had for 40 million (Porto are in financial ruin), and they possess experience, especially in the CL.

I want us to go for SMS, but I think that'll happen next season when Khedira leaves. As for this season, we should try for Nzonzi or Pereira from Porto. I guess since we are looking for experienced mids, others interesting names, who happen to be younger, are definitely out of the question at this point.

A midfield of Marchisio, Pjanic, Nzonzi/Pereira, Bentancur, and SMS to start the 2018-2019 season would definitely be something to smile about.

I still have a feeling we'll be surprised by somebody because I think PSG won't sell us Matuidi in the end. I know why we're going for Matuidi, but I can also see the longer-term thinking.

Where would you put SMS, instead of Khedira?

 

[Kopanja]

Please, stay in Paris

Welcome Black Sturaro

I'd rotate SMS with Marchisio next season, and then when Bentancur is ready, he can rotate with Pjanic. We might even deploy a midfield 3 at times; it makes us versatile and unpredictable.

 

[Kopanja]

Damn, Matuidi-Sturaro midfield linking our mighty attack and formidable defense would be dope

Once in a while even FI gets it right http://www.football-italia.net/107043/matuidi-wrong-man-juve

There wouldn't be any linking. Two headless chickens who run all day but possess 0 technical ability and passing range won't even be able to get the ball to our strikers, and will only serve to burden our defense.

Lets say we buy him for 20 mil
Salary 5m per year
For 3 years
Leaves for free in 3 years

Personally I don't see SMS like Marchisio, well not the more recent Marchisio, he needs to be more box-to-box or at least get into better attacking positions.

The team does look like it might revert to a 4-3-3 for spells though, especially if something happens....

Are you suggesting those two kids are currently the same level as Matuidi?
