Blaise Matuidi - DM - PSG (3 Viewers)

[Bianconero_Aus]

What we should have done is paid €5m for Jorge Martinez despite him easily being worth over €10m at the time, just in case he flopped hard. Catania should have done the right thing and considered this possibility.

Retrospective quantifying of transfers at the initial point is bollocks. If you were always against those moves then fair enough, but I'd say that is unlikely in most cases.

Player succeeds - much success
Player flops - overpaid

Doesn't work like that.

The transfer of Jorge Martinez obviously sucked for a multitude of reasons, but he did come off a very good 09/10 season with Catania, and was one of the better left-sided midfielders in the league at the time. Everything that could go wrong went wrong once he signed with us though.

Now instead of naming the 5-6 players we overpaid for. Give me the names of players we underpaid for and the sum total difference in those two. Not sure some of you can count this high. Go ahead and start with Pogba,Vidal,Pirlo,Khedira,Sandro and Llorente and move on from there how you wish. He sucks with money for sure

Ok. Let's see. Not counting free transfers.

Barzagli
Pogba
Vidal
Tevez
Bonucci
Dybala
Sandro
Lichtsteiner


There's more, I'm sure of it.


And no, Pogba was not a free transfer. They paid around 800K for him, IIRC.


Morata
Evra
Pjanic

TS says our priority is Matuidi. PSG used to ask for 30 but now they ask 25mln.

They also say if we fail to sign him then our alternative is Andre Gomes on loan + obligation.


lol, depressing news

Yeah.

Just compare our situation right now, with the situation 7 years ago. What more proof could you possibly need that he sucks with money?

Lets make it easy

One Pogba sale covered all of those a couple of times

He's being sarcastic. Chill.

This is a ploy by Beps! Make us beg him to spend over 20m on Blaise so we don't end up with AG

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

Welcome Blaise.

 

[Zacheryah]

Any experienced physical cm will do since it will warm the bench for the worldclass holding pair of Marchisio and Pjanic

 

[Dostoevsky]

Yeah and if one gets injured we're gonna have a mediocre midfield while chasing the CL title.

 

[Valerio.]

Matuidi is a good player but he is not what we need.
He alays played in a 3man midfield or as a winger for PSG.... where would he fit in our 2 man midfield...
The kind of players we'd need are the likes of Busquests,Matic,Vidal,Casemiro...

 

[Kopanja]

Matic is imo to static now for 2man midfield, he is slow and doesn't cover much ground
Vidal is love, but he is atrocious passer

They still fit better than Matuidi though

 

[Dostoevsky]

Eurosport says now that we sold Lemina we'll be able to bid higher for Matuidi.

Higher?

 

[Dostoevsky]

Higher?

A bit over 20mln

 

[Lapa]

A bit over 20mln

Seems like peanuts after Neymar to be honest.

 

[Osman]

Higher?

Facepalm as much as you like, but if we litterally replace Lemina with Matuidi, that is a significant upgrade to our team (especially when sum is close to eachother).

I don't deny that. And I'm not even that much against Matuidi to be honest.

 

[Osman]

Well I am (he is type that fits 3 man mids not 2 man one at all) But just pointing out he aint all gloom.
