We'll get Costa AND Keita/Bernardeschi imo
Costa and Bernardeschi look like a silly Inter/Milan mercato during the previous years IMO. Both are very expensive and if we have such money I'd rather invest on one Sanchez.

We'll end up paying 80-90mln for those two and 7-9mln/season in wages. I'd say that's very crazy as neither of them is at the WC level. Bernardeschi has potential but his price tag is way too heavy at the moment. Costa would be our Salah when it comes to numbers, but very frustrating to watch probably.

I seriously don't like the idea of getting both players. Jesus. Invest the money elsewhere. Either buy Sanchez upfront or buy some stone in the midfield.

I actually can't see us getting him. I think he's the alternative to Costa rather than an extra option for the wing.

Maybe if you place Pjanic next to N'Zonzi. But even then it's gonna be rather fragile in the middle, like Real showed us in the second half.
I kind of agree but at the same time, we need Pjanic in midfield. Its a difficult one because we could add Nzonzi -Pjanic -Fabinho in the middle of a 4-3-3 formation but then where would that leave Dybala?

In case we sell Cuadrado there's a high chance of that happening as we'd surely need 2 wingers in that case. Might be Keita if not Costa but I'd still expect two wingers.

From time to time I get one thought floating around my head: us selling Dybala :D

There's no way that line up would work. Maybe if you place Pjanic next to N'Zonzi. But even then it's gonna be rather fragile in the middle, like Real showed us in the second half.
What happened against Real is something that can happen. You run out of breath and need to temporize for a while. But we had dark particle dogpoo khedira next to pjanic and we completely drowned.

You need a destroyer who makes goddamn sure it doesnt happen remotely as hard. You need someone who carries the team untill it can recatch itself.


If we had N'zonzi against madrid instead of black particle dogpoo khedira, we'd be 1-0 by halftime.

Yeah, team would probably have the same physical backfire in the same half, but N'Zonzi would keep the pressure off the defence a whole lot better.

it would allow Allegri to make tactical changes. If neccecary add a third midfielder like Marchisio




Games like Madrid show us the value of having that. Many here forgot how plenty of times we were not in the game under Conte, but Vidal kept chasing fucking fuckers around and we grinded through tough breaks.


We need N'zonzi first.

Firstly, I think it's wrong you call Khedira like that. Why? Because Sami next to Pjanic got us tons of points and got us into CL final. Nobody expected that duo to work and it did for a LONG time. Just because it crashed in the second half doesn't mean it was a horrible choice. Such choice got Barca out.

Secondly, I do agree we need a destroyer and somebody like N'Zonzi.

Thirdly, I find it rather funny how NOBODY mentions Marchisio. In every single thread nobody mentions him as our starter :lol2: lineup thread, this one, wishlist thread.

I actually think Marchisio - Pjanic - N'Zonzi would be a perfect midfield.

Marchisio needs to return to his former self first. pre-injury Marchisio was amazing.

Costa and Keita are both left wing players.Why would we buy both of them ?
Cause Costa only performs on the right wing.

Yeah he is.

But fuck him. Like he gets to chose anything. It's all up to Keita.
Can we apply this logic to PSg ? :D
