I want my right-back, my eclectic midfielder and my Pjanic. And I'm done.
Love how everyone says eclectic now instead of versatile.
That's two eclectic mids with Pjanic btw.
Don't see us being interested in Pjanic or genuinely interested in any starter quality AM. It seems we'll continue with the 352 in Serie A, and the new midfielder's versatility will come into play when we switch to back-four in some CL games.
Both Pjanic and Pogba can't start in a 352 as they both are attacking CMs. Not in an Italian team under an Italian coach (and I wouldn't have it any other way either).

The more i think about it,the more i feel Biglia would be a good move for us,just not at that 25M asking price which no team is going to pay.Just read he wants to remain in Italy as well so there's that.
But first we would need to offload our midfield surplus before making such a move.This is probably a move we could do later in the mercato.
And then we'll be stuck with an extra regista once Marchisio fully recovers and will take up an extra space in the squad that we don't really have with the new rules. Biglia is too expensive even at 20m, he's OK but not really good or anything, and he'll have no resale value due to his age.
Better off buying a versatile mid who can both challenge Khedira for the starting spot and act as a regista option while Marchisio is injured.
@Nostradamus @igortudor @DAiDEViL Given Monchengladtobebach prolly doesn't want to sell both of their starting CMs, how much would Dahoud cost? Do you think the player would rather leave this summer or wants to wait another year?
I can't see it happening.
I think we will get Oscar and a striker that has not been identified by the media yet, should Morata leave (80% chances of it happening)
Let's say is my informed opinion
Can you tell us more?

And any inside info on who might replace him and if Cuadrado will stay?
i think he played LM most of the time, followed by AM.
...stats lookg good. good freekicks, set pieces and longshots - but his passing is too bad for my taste.
certainly wouldn't improve our starting 11 and is absolutely no reason to change formation just to fit him in. just like Saponara.
edit: Pass Success 75%

The boy can defo shoot and hit FKs, but that's it. Not much to write home about.
