Blaise Matuidi (12 Viewers)

[DAiDEViL]

what do you guys think about Matuidi at LB in the future some time? hes tall, strong, plays wide very often (even when hes a CM), so he should be able to pull it off in theory.

please discuss

Should have kept Asa then, he'd do the same, but on lower wages.

After the inter proposal, that was just not possible.
But what zizinho suggested makes seense if we bring better ballplaying midfielders as starters, and also give more chances to players like Betancur, who have higher ceiling than matuidi for sure.

Matuidi has a better engine tho

thats what i had in mind. better mids would mean Matuidi wouldnt (or atleast, shouldnt) start anymore, and if we sell AS, he has better chances of starting against Darmian or Spinazzola who will be recovering from injury. id like to see him play there once, just to know if he can do it

We should have renewed Asa earlier, before the Inter proposal.

Yeh i knew it was for that reason. And i agree totally.

We need high technique in the midfield and less raw muscle. And looking at our targets in the mercato..we are aiming for that.

With all respect to Blaise, he really is not technical and we need tech mids to support our attackers

I would like to keep Matuidi and Khedira as backups. I think we could be loosing a lot of our professional base to the team to fast if we lose to many of these guys in one season. Buffon,Lichtsteiner, Matuidi,Khedira, Barza?, Mandzukic....Thats a lot of locker room experience to lose. Keep a few of them for another season or two and let them take more limited roles. Plus Marchisio?

It's dangerous. If we don't get the right replacements it could really be the end of the era.

found out now that he played at LB 13 times when he was a youngster in St Etienne

time to revive the defender in him

 

[edgardavids2608]

I just dont see the benefit of losing all if them if we can keep some and have Khedira and Matuidi be more of a Barzagli role

Horrible ball control, and what about crossing ability?

i think both are on an OK level for a fullback when on form, but he was hugely out of form since his injury. i want to see him there just once, when hes in top form. i think he can do a very good job

 

[Hydde]

I have never seen him crossing, or maybe i dont remember. He looks like cant cross for shid anyways.

Any crossing compilation from matuidi? Lol

We're signing Can on 6m(?) wages and hopefully another midfielder on a starter wages, I dont think we can afford to have expensive oldies 4m Khedira and 5m Matuidi as backups, one of them has to go

How about both?

Probably so. It depends if Marchisio is staying(he should be and hope he does). But I think we have some wages clearing off the books as well.
Buffon 4.5
Mandzukic 3.5 I think
One of the midfielders ~3 mil
Lichsteiner and asa
Matuidi is only on 3.5 I think

Good game so far vs Belgium. Crucial in midfield.

 

[zizinho]

beast. hope we see more of it next season in CL

Can is better tho @Edgardavidswhatever

 

[Boksic]

Superb game today, he's had a very good tournament.
