That's not the point though, brother. The point is 20M+ in transfer fee, plus 5.5M in wages, or whatever. It's a huge outlay for a position we're very well covered at - for a guy who's about to turn 30, and beyond that, my opinion is that in a couple years Pogba will be a better player than DDR. Paul's a freak, man. We need to play him a great deal so that he develops, and either kills it for us, or we sell him for a killing.
Also, if we need another really good box to box midfielder, we've got Asamoah - who's only 24; we already have a CM waiting in the wings, there are more effective ways to spend that money.
A play for DDR doesn't make a lot of sense to me (not that it's likely he'd be coming here; if he left Roma, he'd probably leave Italy IMO).
Oh, I took no offence bud. I just said none of those things you mentioned, so I felt the need to correct.
I still think it would be incredibly foolish to spend 18M on Asamoah, have a future world class midfielder like Pogba, who's itching to get into the game, and then spend a ton of cash on De Rossi when it could go towards further upgrading the attack, that LWB/LB role, adding a dedicated CB like Ogbonna, or even adding a bit more technical ability to the midfield, potentially in the form of a Pirlo understudy (especially if Conte wants to continue with a regista; not an easy role to fill). I think we should pretty much leave our CM's untouched for the moment, and see how Pogba develops this year, maybe prepare for life after Pirlo next summer.
I also think that it would be wise to think of life after Barzagli - or even life for a club consistently at the top level, for a team that plays with three central defenders - which is why it makes sense to me to make a play for a guy like Ogbonna. He's young, and it'll will ensure that there's competition at the back, that all guys are up to par. Barzagli has a couple more solid years left IMO, at the least, anyway. I know that DDR can 'do a job' as a central defender, and even do it pretty well, but I certainly wouldn't be buying him for big money with an eye to playing him as a defender.
Oh, and as for the FYI part... Yes, Isla was pretty solid at CM for Udinese (although I can't remember him ever playing there for Juve); he's also likely on his way out of the club. Padoin can basically 'do a job' up and down either flank (I think he was even fielded on the left in an advanced role for Atalanta at times), although the less we see of Padoin, the better off this club is likely to be. We certainly have enough useful utility players for the moment.
DDR is a great player, but it just doesn't make sense to me given the cash involved, DDR's ties to Roma, or the personnel we currently have at our club.
