Yeah, I don't see how this isn't a no brainer. A quick survey of statistics shows that James > Isco.

In 17 games as a starter last year: 6 goals 8 assists. 8 of those games were at CM. Isco in 21 games, 3 goals and 7 assists as a starter. Isco's performance doesn't even approach James' especially when you consider multiple seasons.
One is a Mezzala, the other a treq, they can't be compared statistically.

FI has an article about Tevez to Inter. It's bs alright, but do we have any chance to sign him when Zaza leaves and how is he doing out there, is he still the same?

Juventus havent told goodbye to Cuadrado, his location on his instagram still says Turin. He is coming home babbyyy

Gabigol will arrive once Zaza is sold


And what an attack we would have. Jesus :ID:

This is complete BS. Pereyra is much more useful to us than Hernanes and I have nothing against Hernanes staying. Hernanes was bad for most of last season no matter what your statistics tell you and this is proved by objectively watching every time he played.
The statistics of him losing possession are irrelevant. You cannot compare Hernanes who sits in front of our defense, often with only Bonucci as protection behind (Barzagli/Chiellini out wide) with Pogba who tries dribbles/through passes from out wide/higher up the pitch. I appreciate Pogba occasionally lost the ball in dangerous areas, but I can't think of any where there wasn't protection behind him.

I have seen numerous times where Hernanes has lost the ball in dangerous areas. When you consider that Pirlo was older/slower/considered by many to be less technical, he managed to get away from his marker/control passes in tight areas far better than Hernanes.

Pirlo might be the most technically gifted Italian player since Baggio. This "many" are really strange people.

The though of us closing the Mercato with Cuadrado, Gabigol and Fabregas after already signing Higuain, Pjanic, Pjaca, Dani Alves and Benatia.

That's mind-blowing. :lol:

Yeah. Let's keep a crap player because we can't sell him, and sell a guy who is actually a decent player and a versatile midfielder to boot. Supreme logic.

Very underwhelming end to the Mercato. Come on Mark. We can do better than that 70s porn stache dude. We must.

Herrera = No further links. We don't seem interested.
Matic = Conte said No!
James R = AM/SS or Winger. He shouldn't be deployed as a CM.
Diawara = Raw potential. Tons of upside, but he seems intent on joining Roma :yuck: :inter:

@Mark Delle Ali? Yay or Nay? Price? :boh:
DA would be nice but doubt it.
