I dont agree with the attacking midfielder, I dont think we need him, because we will play from deep (pjanic), and two creative guys doesnt quite work. By the way we still gonna play 3-5-2 I think, 3-4-1-2 is not balanced IMO
Pjanic playing deep wil affect his creativity, he will dictate the tempo, but he won't be as effective and decisive as playing high up in the pitch.
I still think that 4 at the back is the way to go in the CL, that's wht we need a creative CM/AM in case we want to deploy that formation.
Not taking into account that if Pjanic gets injured will be in deep trouble.
This looks like the best combo for me too, glad to see I'm not the only one with such high preferences. One player isn't enough because no box-to-box player is available so we need one creative and skillful and one more physical.
This sounds a bit strange, if we go for Isco and already got Pjanic then there's no need for Kova. Rather get a stronger DM/CM who was work rate and who can tackle.
And the new thing is that Pjaca will count as an under 21 player and won't take a place in our roster..I am not sure but it was mentioned in Italian media maybe someone can confirm
didnt read through all posts so maybe someone already answered, but a player counts as U21 if he was still under 21 age at the beginning of the calendar year. since Pjaca was still 20 at 1st January, he counts as a U21 player...
Madrid usually tend to sell players for like 30-40% higher than their actual value. They absolutely fleece teams. I would count Higuain as the exception though as the clause was the only way we could've got him. But i could also be wrong.
we should know soon, Matic is meeting Conte and the Chelski officials today, if he doesn't get enough guarantees to play, he will ask to leave and we are in pole position

I don't think they were anything unreasonable. Di Maria was a top class player, so was Ozil. Both went to English teams. They always pay a premium, agents even admit this.
one of them will be great i prefer matic right now cuz i think we need more physical/defence type of player right now.
and please let it be a grown stable mentally player 25-28 yo, i want someone understand the morality of this club and the meaning of hard work, someone has enough brain cells so he can understand what kind of work the club doing and what we are aiming for.
