We need to shed some weight in midfield
yeah, that was pretty obvious since the new rules kicked in. we've had 19 non-homegrown/non-'italygrown' players in our squad instead of 17, so even if we loan/sell neto and bring in mirante, and with caceres gone, we have to sell a player in order to be able to buy one.

Im not familiar with the new rules, can someone give me a quick rundown on the basis of it and how it will affect us? Or just a link to an article that I could read

quick recap: squads of 25, of witch 4 homegrown, 4 grown at an other italian club, with an unlimited number of u21 players

homegrown = was registered for at least 3 years at the club between the age of 15-21

basically cl rules, with minor differences

Think will padoin will stay for his last year (contract till 17), hes only earning around 700k wages so I dont see a reason wed let him go, hes a reserve player and I only included him as a formality. That being said, would his sale be beneficial in relation to the new rules?
@s4tch thank you

What if Ibra decides to come back? After Alves Betardi and Pjanic we add Ibra too .... He hasn't committed yet, he's waiting for the Morata situation to get wrapped up ???

Of course we do. IF the price is right. Pjanic has been tried and tested as a 10. And it didn't work out... Allegri wants his 10.

Won't happen 'though. I can see Kovacic filling in there.
Gomes is definitely not a treq. Even less of one than Pjanic.

And Kovacic isn't really a treq either.

Unless we're looking at someone not mentioned as a target so far, if we want to play 4-3-1-2 we're going to be converting a midfielder to play CAM, like we did with Vidal and Pereyra.

If we got Pjanic + Kovacic/Gomes, I could Allegri experimenting with Pogba playing as a CAM, allowing him to focus on attack, and maximizing his massive talents going forward. Especially if we get Gomes who a Pogba style player, only much more defensive-minded.

Kovacic and Gomes have about the same style, driving the ball, dribble and playing through balls. Not pure TQ but they can definitely fill that role.

Pogba as a CAM is setting us up for failure I'm afraid. He's so much better when he has space and I wouldn't name passing as one of his strongest suits either...

@s4tch thank you
Yes it wulf. You can't afford to waste spaces if you can only have 25 players on the books... Padoin type of guys are probably going to be the victim at better clubs...

If Allegri gave the all clear for Pjanic knowing that he isn't the TQ he has been asking for then that means we still have someone coming for the TQ and even if Kovacic comes he too won't be for TQ.


...curious how this will end up


But fuck, the technically ability our midfield is going to have...
