Roma/Lazio have the worst fans. It's nuts that such a cultured city can produce such a group of neo-nazi scum.

Truth be told, 1/2 of my family is from the Lazio region (Frosinone), and I have an aunt in Italy that still wears a Mussolini necklace. It's absolutely insane.
No way I'm from frosinone as well. Small town called casalattico.

What part are you from?

Lets say we close the mercato with Pjanic Alves and Morata
Is it enough to win the CL?
I think it could be enough but it certainly wont make us favorites
I still see Barcelona and Bayern as favorites then there is Real and then Juve and Atl Madrid
I can see our chances increase greatly if we get a prolific forward (Cavani Lacazette) are players who will make a huge difference

Jesus could be interesting but he is too young so even if he develop to a monster it would take him time and it wont be on his first season!

We still need some speed in the team imo. When we played Bayern with Morata, Cuadrado and Sandro as the front 3 we played the best game we played all season.

We are too much of a grinding team and not enough flair I would say to take the game to the better teams.

We are too passive imo.

Too bad we could be losing 2/3. It really hurts to see Cuadrado go. I hope they somehow manage to keep him.

Thats one of the reasons why I`d like someone like Cavani to partner Dybala as I see Mandzukic as too slow for this type of game!

Please.

Who are you suggesting we scrap to make way for this?

We have the best CBs in the world.

We have Alves and Sandro as fullbacks/wingbacks. Not going to improve on that.

We have Pjanic, Marchisio, Pogba, Khedira in midfield. Not going to improve on that.

Dybala, Mandzu, Morata up front. Very difficult to improve on that.

With Sandro, Alves, Pogba, Pjanic, Dybala, Morata...

What more flair does this team need? Or speed for that matter?

Unless you think we should be benching DYbala and getting a faster forward. FFS this nonsense about needing more speed and flair still. :rofl:

Morata is more prolific in the Champion's League than either of these guys. Than anyone we realistically have a shot at getting for that matter.

Playing with Wingers would be a good start?

Oh god no not Cavani. I have not liked him since he left Napoli.

We almost won a Champion's League playing without wingers. It's not a requirement to win. Obviously.

And nor have we constructed our team in a way that is conducive to playing with wingers. So we won't.

Get over it.
Well we are always going to struggle to outplay the better teams if our attack is limited.

We tend to defend deep a lot but don't have a counter attack.

We have good players in all positions I agree but having players who can take on defenders and force the opposition back in their half is very important.

What the shit are you talking about?

We got to a CL final and were tied 1-1 with Barca 65 minutes in playing the whole CL counter attacking out of 4-3-1-2 and 3-5-2.

This is just nonsense. Pogba, Dybala, Morata, Sandro can all take on defenders. And they do, regardless of what formation we are playing.

We got to that CL final 1 year ago we no longer have Tevez partnering Morata who made it so effective.

The only player who was consistently good on a counter attack this season was Cuadrado and we don't even own him.

Pogba can do it but it's asking too much of him to do it every game and go on insane runs.

What? Morata and Dybala can both effectively counterattack. And both did at times this year. So can Zaza.

It seems you don't even watch us play.

You want us to play some retarded wing based formation which doesn't suit our team at all, and doesn't suit our best attacking player, Dybala, at all. . :rofl:

If we keep our team together, and keep Morata, adding Pjanic and Alves would make us one of the clear CL favourites, alongside Bayern, Barca, Madrid.

We have a good team but I don't think we have enough speed in attack.

Ideally it would be nice to have Dybala and Morata make a good partnership up front as they are both quality players and can cause danger.

If they can make a good partnership up front we could definitely hurt the best teams.

I would just like us to have players like Robben for example. That sort of player who is a threat for 90 minutes and pushes the opposition defence back.

I think we really lack players like that.
