you need both, cant expect to always free yourself up with passing. and if /when he plays, he would be playing next to Pogba and Pjanic (maybe Marchisio too, if its a 4312) so we would have both qualities present

yeah you need both, but Sissoko cannot pass. So why do we need such player? I don't think that he is better then Lemina tbh.

Lemina is better/will be better than both him and Kante. but still the board is after a CM, we need an additional one since we play 4312 too and have injury problems.

id prefer Mascherano, Hamsik, Matic, Gomes (all impossible at the moment) or Kovacic (might be a chance to get him if Real gets Gomes/Kante), but i wouldnt mind if we end up with Moussa instead if we cant get a better one

I would not mind him either as a 5th CM and cost up to 10 mln, but it's impossible and Beppe can get us something better for 20+ mln

not sure about 10M but hes certainly not worth more than 20M. i think some 17-18M + bonuses is the maximum we would bid

 

[Collaguazo]

Geez.

So Pjaca almost done now we need to wrap up Benatia.

What's next? Higuain?

----

Alves
Pjanic
Benatia
Pjaca

El shileno #AS9

 

[JCK]

I like Alves and Pjanic. I know nothing about Pjaca and would like it if Benatia were to come but aren't we lacking still at the forward department?

 

[Robee]

you need the ability to carry the ball out to take some pressure off your defense. out of our current CMs, only Pogba can do it

as for the price, we will see how much Newcastle will ask for him (if we are even interested), but we definitely shouldnt overpay for him

Pjanic says hi. And of course Marchisio can if needed.

 

[zizinho]

Pjanic says hi. And of course Marchisio can if needed.

Pjanic also says im not as fast as you think Robee, and i certainly wont be able to carry the ball 50 meters when under pressure

 

[Hydde]

Exactly, the only thing he is capable of is to take a ball and hope to just overrun opposing player. He didn't show any glimpse of passing, positional defending, something more sophisticated than kick-&-run dribbling (not is he supposed to though). One-dimensional as it gets, he is not better than Kante, but little guy is at least beast at intercepting, this Sissoko runs, great.

He is like the lost son of Krasic and Momo Sissoko. The black Forrest gump.

YEs, specially if Zaza goes. Heck, evenw ith Zaza staying we need a real goalscorer to carry us in the CL and be the cheery on the cake.

Every team which is serious in winning the CL needs an spearhead bomber. Thats almost mandatory.

[JCK]

I am fine with Mandzukic and Dybala but we need players to rotate with them, not enough with Zaza

 

[Itay]

Problem is that WC strikers cost mucho dinero... and rightfully so, as there aren't much of them around.

 

[KB824]

Pjaca will be part of that, at least as a Vice-Dybala when needed.

 

[Gagi]

That's true, but I don't think we'll find one anytime soon...

Icardi & Higuain are not that realistic IMO, Sanchez will not be sold, Cavani turned down PSG, but they lost Zlatan already and they're in market for another striker... Jesus is wanted by too many clubs, I don't think we'll go into bidding war there... I can see us getting Falcao on loan so we can buy time to find permanent solution

I wouldn't be surprised to see psg move for bacca to replace zlatan/cavani

 

[DAiDEViL]

I can see us getting Falcao on loan

and it might turn out to be great if we can get him back on track.

 

[Xperd]

@s4tch

Is those quotes of Pogba's mom real ?

- - - Updated - - -

Falcao

Should go to MLS or something

 

[Hydde]

mmmm, ok ill give him a chance. Now we in theory, should have way more attacking threads and inventive than last year... so mandzukic, and every forward, should benefit a lot from it.

Still, if Zaza goes, we need a good replacement...someone who can even contest Mandz.

About falcao, The funny thing is that in the situation we are in i can see Beppe pondering a loan.

We all know every good players turn to gold here... but im afraid he is beyond repair. He would need A LOT of babysitting and time on the field to regain his form.... maybe a whole season as indisputed striker. The guy is so lost.
