That's fair. I more so meant to say sign him as a defender because we're perfectly stacked in that department. I wasn't aware of his desire to revert back to playing as a CDM. Considering that though, there's better and younger options available and better suited in that position anyway.

True. I would've been all over this signing if we wouldn't have signed Benatia, as we would've had world class cover in both positions with one signing.

Good point. The Benatia signing wasn't really unexpected though, but certain people have the gull to say it's because we're selling Bonucci.. hahahah. I think Benatia will be a good addition to the second string of defenders, but he's not a replacement for Bonbon, mostly cause he's not going anywhere.

We'll just sign Verratti and it's all good.

Please Beppe get this guy, please!!!

Get Herrera and keep Pogs.

Pogba-Pjanic-Herrera

OMG

OMG

We do need some defensive minded players in midfield you know...
Herrera can only be a starter if we are to sell Pogba IMO
We can play all three with a DM behind them with a 4 men defense...

 

[NitK]

Arda Turan?

 

[Xperd]

A big NO

Its shaping up to be our best post calciopoli, mercato!

Why would we need to go for Mascherano? Sure, he's a good defender, but the focus should be for a midfielder. It's damn near safe to assume Pogs will go - and yes, it's very unfortunate if that does happen - but I'd be far more devo'd if Bonucci left. If Pogba does make a move, that money would be better off invested in a mid like Rakitic. I also like the idea of Matic. Two different midfield players, but still more than capable of holding it down. As for Mandzu leaving, that would be highly upsetting as well. If all this Higgy business is legit, then he'd most certainly sit the bench. Just my two cents.

Because he's the best CDM in the world if he plays there (argentina), and he has said various times he'd prefer to play his natural position as a midfielder again.

I used to like Arda, he was a gamechanger in Atleti, but somewhat inconsistent. And lethargic

There absolutely isnt. He's still the world's best CDM.

Like I said before, that's a fair point. He's just been holding down the defense for so long now that I tend to forget his true, original position. If that's that case and we are after him, then it would be nice to have a solid CDM in the team - given he's consistent.

I don't think he's the best CDM in the world, nah. Best that Juve is chasing, sure.

Mascherano has been the best CDM in the world for nearly a decade. One simply needs to watch argentine tournament games to see it.

Mousa Sissoko have not moved yet actually, and my top list if we look at youth age would be Saul Niguez, who we approached last season to replace Vidal and Julian Weigl, BVB CM. But generally i agree with you, especially on Witsel, included him because he is being linked with us.

According to the media, you could include Rakitic in that list.
