So when I asked you if llorente and immobile can play together, you said yes, and now you realize they can't so Immobile will easily bench Llorente. Alright thanks for saying that. Now I know I can't take you seriously.
This. Immobile is not better than Llorente and he would not succeed in a 3-5-2. In a counterattacking team he'd be great but everyone knows we're not playing that anytime soon.

I wonder how many of the people that are practically slitting their wrists over our selling of an unused, pro Napoli - anti Juventus 3rd choice striker would feel if we brought him back, missed out on Sanchez and scrapped 4-3-3 because we couldn't afford anybody to make the change worthwhile.

And people moaning at Beppe :lol:

His job is to improve our team. And we're on limited funds. So the ONLY way he could possibly improve our team significantly is by selling players. Instead of selling Pogba, Vidal or Tevez. He sells a player who hasn't even played at our club during our successive Scudetto wins. And now he's all of a sudden a shit director.

I hate to be the one to break this to you guys, but Beppe can't make 60 million euros appear out of thin air. It's his fault, I know.

He has scored 21 goals playing in this formation, you are perfect football sofa analytic, how many games of Torino you have seen in the current season? I bet zero

Oh and USA is better team than Ghana :rofl:

If the sale of Immobile will help in the acquisition of Sanchez, then I'm all for it.


Sanchez will help this club much more next season than Immobile would
Come on man, what ever happened to building up the youth as we both preached about since Calciopoli?

We can manage the Sanchez deal through other sales as long as Marotta can sell. While I would love to have Sanchez, we also should give Immobile a go at Juventus since he would not cost an astronomical amount of money. I'm not totally sold on the player, but at the very least he would be an improvement to Osvaldo and any other player we could possibly obtain as a backup for a reasonable fee. He's also an upgrade over someone like Matri. So for us to throw him away just because of balancing a budget doesn't make sense to me.

This whole situation is just so odd to me. The player is homegrown, Italian, and the top scorer in the league. Honestly, I think some (not you Serge) actually have this weird cognitive dissonance of youth players for whatever reason. It's like they hate our youth system, which is pretty funny. But guess what... everyone was a fuucking youth player once somewhere!

Selling one of the few shining lights of our youth sector to fund the purchase of the likes of Nani and Sanchez makes me want to stick my finger down my throat to induce a gag reflex. If we were talking about guys like Di Maria, Reus et al. I'd be all for it. Nani wouldn't give me a chubby even if I took 500mg of Viagra downed with 2 cans of MosKa. Sanchez in Barça has been a pathetic caricature of that dynamic player at Udine. He's been playing the past few years as if he'd undergone a double orchidectomy.

We want to do away with a Cane corso like Ciro (who this season has shown a fierce determination, steadfast constitution and 100% grade A, your money back guarantee, balls of steel) for a pair of mentally broken jabronis?

I don't know, that's what all the press is reporting? What will we play, RUS?
I can't imagine Tevez as a lone striker in 4-3-3, it's a bad idea, but it's really useless talk until mercato is not opened yet

Nani/Giovinco/Vucinic - Tevez/Llorente - Sanchez/Pepe/Menez?
Marchisio/Asamoah - Pirlo/Pogba - Vidal/?
LB? - Chiellini/Ogbonna - Barzagli/Bonucci - Lichsteiner/Caceres/Isla

It wont work - we need left back (Kolarov, Lucic), one central midfielder, and of course we have to offload deadwoods from our squad

Neither can I, but hey. We're definitely after wingers. 4-2-3-1 makes less sense... Maybe Tevez is leaving :shifty:
