[JCK]

I don't mind if we exchange Cuadrado with Asamoah as long as we buy one or two more central midfielders

To lose Pogba, Perreyra and Asamoah in one window while holding on to Hernanes, is just a dumb as fuck move. We need to hold on to Asa, and try and get rid of Hernanes instead, coz clearly the CM market is pretty static this summer, despite Pogba moving, there has been no real domino effect, because most teams have that position locked down. We would just be in precarious territory if we give up Asa now.

 

[spurdo]

Exchanging a CM for an RM/RWB would be suicide, even if Cuadrado is a better player than Asa. We would literally be thin as ice in midfield and just have a bunch of attackers and weaklings in midfield. Fukk that.

 

[Amer]

Maybe we're getting rid of these CM's to move to 3-4-3 or 3-4-1-2 with only 2 CM's needed in starting 11.

 

[Orgut]

We have improved our team in recent years there is no doubt about it but its really annoying that the heart of the team which is the midfield - The most important part of a team has been weakened!
Marchisio Pirlo Pogba Vidal -> Pjanic Marchisio Khedira - I mean we had 3 of the best midfielders in their roles in Pirlo Pogba and Vidal and now we have Pjanic who is great but he is no Pogba while Khedira isnt as good as Vidal while he is also injured a lot
I think we need 2 really strong midfielders in order to be as great again (in midfield)
Pogba`s loss will be felt greatly against the big sides! our midfield domination will decrease greatly but in the other hand our counter attacks should be stronger now (especially if we get Cuadrado)...

 

[Robee]

Are u expecting a big signing to replace or better Pogba?

I'm expecting our management to handle the situation well. Whether that needs a big signing or not is up to them. We replaced Vidal and Pirlo smoothly if we don't count the rough injury decimated start. I'm confident we can replace Pogba and we already upgraded every other line of the team.

Exactly.

Call me crazy but at the current situation I would be willing to take a gamble on Yaya Toure or Mousa Sissoko! Both will add lots of physique to our team a thing we really lack now as nor Pjanic or Marchisio are Mr Universe while Khedira is ok
They both arent my favorite players but thats what we need...

 

[Bianconero81]

Fuck's sake. Could you imagine. This would be the most insane mercato in history.

Piguain, Pjanic, Alves, Benatia, Pjaca, Cuadrado, James, Diawara.



There's just no fucking way. It's impossible. That's like a 250M mercato.

Don't forget Lemina. The sales of Pogba, Morata, the money for Coman, the potential cash influx from the sales of Zaza and Pereyra means we can afford it. It means we only need to spend 40-50 of our "own" money.

Cuadrado, James, Diawara, Gabigol

No,you have a point here.Yaya is in serious conflict with Pep since Barcelona days. Yeterday he wasn't at the bench against Steaua.If our managers can get a bargain to him I will go with both hands for Toure.He has at least two years of game in his legs.The thing with City is that all their players, when signing a contract,they have a clause of loyalty means that if they respect the full length of the contract they get some extra cash which is by no means a small amount.That's why no one want's to leave City.That might be a problem.

 

[JuveJay]

Looks like we are creating the first formation using only one CM.

 

[il brutto]

A midfield of Biglia, Marchisio, Pjanic sounds very unbalanced and exposed if you ask me

Both Biglia and Marchisio are very good defensively. Where it lacks is dynamism going forward but it's not like other top teams have always had that either (Busquets, Xavi, Iniesta for example).

 

[Badass J Elkann]

Brozovic is definitely an upgrade over Sturaro. Come on man.

That is hardly saying very much

Now that is the is a sign of panic and desperation

 

[Bianconero81]

True dat 14 days to go. 2 weeks until the mercato is over. Beppe and Paratici better be planning something. I feel uneasy about our midfield as things stand.

 

[il brutto]

It could maybe give us the option to go for a 4-3-3 with Pjaca on the left as rotational formation

Or use the 442 Allegri played at some point.

-------------Mandzu Dybala
Asamoah Pjanic Khedira Cuadrado
A. Sandro Chiellini Bonucci D. Alves
-------------------Buffon

I'm bracing myself for a Hernanes style signing in the final hours... I can't help but think it will be someone like schweinsteiger... or montolivo

Disgusting. I sincerely hope you are wrong.

 

[Badass J Elkann]

Disgusting. I sincerely hope you are wrong.

I hope so to but nothing would surprise me about marotta and Co at this late stage of the mercato

 

[il brutto]

But Lazio want €40M.

Case closed

Those asking prices are just rumors. He will never go for that amount with 2 years left in his contract and being over 30 already.

 

[Luftwaffles]

London sources saying that Conte has accepted that Cuadrado 'might' be leaving the club on a 12 month loan. States that discussions are taking place today with various options being considered.
