He came in as a sub in the 63rd minute, but was replaced in injury time. people had to stop him from getting to Mou.
:lol: he was taken out of a pretty meaningless game in the 93rd minute...that wasnt tactical that was huge middle finger to him

I dont think mourinho is the kind of person that could resist taking a stab at an old nemesis regardless of how unprofessional and unwarranted . If i were mata i would demand to leave after that shit. Really childish and disrespectful move from an egomaniac who cant get over squabble from years ago

Has anybody actually watched Diawara more than a few times? I have only seen him play against us. Judging by that and his Youtube videos he seems very very promising, but at the end of the day it's just a random game and a youtube video.. I could make Wayne Rooney (or any other fucking Union player for that matter) look good..
His attributes seem fitting (quick, good at tackling, good at passing), plus he seems fairly exciting to watch! (Flair & Fancy yeaaay). Plus at 19 years old he wouldn't further trouble our squad restrictions.

Why do people keep saying morata wouldve cost only 30 mil?
Madrid paid 30 Million to repurchase him, and we paid 90 Million for Higuain. I'm just trying to put things into perspective. We wouldn't have been able to buy him regardless, as it seems Zidane rates him very highly indeed.

All we need is some muscle in midfield that we lost with the departure of Vidal last season. Plus a hot prospect like Diawara and we are good to go.
Kovacic and Diawara? Kovacic to score the winner against Real in our CL encounter :donedeal:

Diawara isn't flair and fancy tho. He is definitely quick, and good at tackling.

But 30 mil was far less than thr actual value of morata it was mandated by clause. And had we resigned morata we wouldve missed out on that 30mil while also spending an additional 20-30 so it that comparison is unfair

I agree. Let's assume, in some hypothetical scenario, we have a chance to sign Morata. Would you take Morata for 60 or Higuain for 90?

Stats? :lol: Don't be like Rus Bro. Pogba can impact the game so much more, and has far more potential. He is a beast in both the defensive and offensive phase of the game. We lose a lot of physicality and athleticism with him, not to mention that X factor. Higuain is definitely better than Morata, but he isn't 60 million Euros better. Morata at 30 million is better than Higgy at 90. Morata, potentially, has the tools to become a more complete forward than Higuain. He isn't there yet, and might never get there, but the potential is there. As for Cuadrado being better than Dani Alves, I never said that. Dani Alves on a free is a dope signing.
You can't just discard stats, stop underrating Pjanic. He is world class through and through. He offers us much more offensively than Pogba. Not only does he provide pretty much the same end product but his passing ability is far superior. Higuain 90m >>>>>> Morata 30m. At Morata's age Higuain was already getting 25-30 goals a season at RM. Not even close, Morata will never be as good as Higuain.

I have full faith in our management and I'm sure we'll get exactly what the team needs. There are many good available mids like Matic, Herrera, Rakitic and so on. Even Matiudi is going to be a good option because we need b2b with good defensive contribution.

I am not arguing that Pjanic is a huge signing, nor that he is quality. Agreed on both accounts. As for Higuain, we shall see if he justifies that huge price tag, just as Yanited will have to wait and see whether Pogba justifies his (on the pitch).

no way matuidi is proven quality and for multiple years.
I agree!
Kondogbia isnt a bad player in fact he is even a good one but he is not like Pogba! he is very limited!
I`d pick Kondogbia because of his age otherwise I`d definitely rather go for Matuidi!
Would skip both and get someone better!

Herrera and Diawara!
Herrera because we need an energetic box to box and Diawara because he is very talented and could become special!

I'd probs get Kovacic at this point, potential, can fill multiple roles.
Well yeah he is very talented but given our current team I think he isnt the player we need to partner Pjanic! We need more of an energetic player!
I wouldnt call Kovacic a box to box...

AKA Operation Plunder Serie B
AKA Saponara > Isco


Will Cuadrado be signed outright?
Will we take up our option on Berardi?
Will we actually sign that guy from Sassuolo whose name no one can spell?
Will we sell Pogba to City, Morata to Madrid and Dybala to Barcelona?
Will rakib keep his lists of FM formations below 100?
At what point will there be an overwhelming feeling that all is lost and Beppe deserves the sack?
Will our mercato be "closed" again by June?
1) NO
2) NO
3) NO
4) YES (to ManU), because we are Juventus and we are not a selling club. We want to build a winning team around him (Pogba).
Yes we sold him already to madrid.

I would take Allan any day, if only he has a release clause :beppe:

Otherwise Herrera, Matic, Diawara, Matuidi

Any of the aforementioned. They all have quality or immense potential.

Matuidi, I can understand people's reservation around him being a raiola player but this guy is 29, and at 30/31 no money rich will put in a huge offer or want him because they look for the next big thing. So I can see matuidi here for a while.

Not exactly the b2b we are talking about and not exactly the cheap signing but what do you think about Hamsik?
:lol: There is a higher probability of us luring Naingollan away from Roma, then getting Hamsik from Napoli. Hamsik is a great player, but no chance!

We should offer him a 3 year contract, 4 years tops. Anything beyond that is ridiculous. 4 years should be the max.

Here's what I don't understand sometimes.

They say Matic is the most difficult to get yet having lost one of the best players in your team, you replace him with acceptable quality rather than 2nd and 3rd choice options like Witsel and Matuidi ? I'm sure Pogba would've been the most difficult target to get for United too no ? Out of all options.

Why do we have to be content with plan c's and plan d's even now ?
All the trolling aside, I will be majorly disappointed in Marotta if he settled for Witsel.

Pogba was only possible because of raiola and of course because his mentally weak. Matic doesn't have this type of an agent, plus Chelsea don't have some stupid ass policy if player wants out. It can't be compared and won't be compared.
