This one, considering Matri and Gio are subs themselves and will offer greater income.

I doubt that Matri will offer greater income. Should be about the same, if you ask me.

Gio isn't going anywhere. So it's pointless to include him in these discussions.

Matri might, given his age. But if is about the same, then Quag should stay ahead of him being the more effective forward. I don't think Gio will go either but that's pretty unfortunate since he's done precious little this season. Hopefully, the 433 may help his cause.

Wasn't Giovinco top 3 in goals+assists this season according to Alen's stats? You really have to stop the exaggeration of Giovinco's failure. Let's stop acting as if he has been an Isla type of failure which seems to be the judgement around here.

Giovinco makes so much more sense to keep than Quag. He's much younger and has just entered his prime, offers you more playmaking, is more versatile and can play SS, winger and trequartista depending on which formation Conte decides to go with. I just don't think they'll dump him after one year.

Outscored by the much lamented Giovinco so far.

 

[baggio]

Goals? To the best of my knowledge Quag has out scored Gio. Matri isn't far off. Both with much less game time.

If so, Quag will leave before Giovinco. Definitely. Stats aside, I just believe Conte sees more Value in Giovinco.

Not at all. You must see these stats in the context that we are speaking about a starting forward. If you see goals plus assists, Gio has 17 to Quag's 16. A player with far less game time and a few more decisive moments to his credit. It's not that I think Gio is an Isla level failure. Im a fan of his mind you, but he just doesn't cut it.

It's not one or the other for me but Quag despite being the older player has shown that he's been able to effectively adapt while Gio hasnt been able to do despite being young and entering his prime. I'm not against him but I genuinely think irrespective of Quag or Matri staying here, Gio doesn't deserve a starting role on this team. He's not good enough.

G&A

By outscoring, I was implying goals. Even g+a, only one behind, which is pretty impressive considering the game time.

@baggio Allow me to reiterate that I don't wish to sell him at all costs, but if a good offer comes in, it must be considered. 10 million for a 30 year old striker, who isn't going to get any better makes sense. Like I said, the forward line is the only line in which all the players are up for debate/available for sale if the right offer came in. We will be lucky if we sell even one of our forwards, and that's why we need to keep our options open.

Ideally, I'd like a front line of Suarez/Benzema/Sanchez (I know he isn't at their level, but he seems the most realistic option), Llorente, Vucinic (for another season or two), Muriel (for the 2014-2015 season, once Giovinco fails to deliver yet again), and another youngster (Boayke/Gabbiadini) by the 2014-2015 season.

As for next season, Anelka, Bendtner and Iaquinta are all but gone, which leaves us with Llorente, Quag, Matri, Vucinic, and Gio. Get rid of one of Quag/Matri/Gio and bring in a star performer. Better yet, get rid of two of them, and bring in a star performer + a promising youngster.

I'm not against selling a player and strengthening the team (if we are talking about the likes of Suarez). But I rather sell the less effective ones first, especially considering they will fetch the same amount of money if not more.

This, and this is coming from someone who disgusts Giovinco.

 

[baggio]

So you're not a Gio or Matri fan? And you still think Quag should go first. There's clearly no hate there.

 

[Klin]

No, with Llorente and hopefully another striker, there won't be enough room for all Vucinic, Giovinco, Matri and Quag.

Vucinic and Giovinco are untouchable. It's between Matri and Quag. Quag is older and Matri fits better in the team than him.

 

[pitbull]

Given how little Giovinco has been used in the second part of the season, I highly doubt that he's as untouchable as you say.

What makes Gio and Vucinic untouchable? They may not be the first ones to be sold, but theyve done nothing to make themselves untouchable. Quag has outscored Gio in goals and Vuci too if you take away the penalties. He is one behind Gio in goals and assists, with significantly less game time. Its a clear bias to say one player is untouchable and the other has to go, when he's been the more effective of the two. If you're saying this based on what Conte thinks, then you could be wrong about Quag being the first one to go, coz Matri needs to be playing if he fits the tactics better.

And you do hate him, admit it.

So you see us selling him after we bought his half for that fee last Summer? I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Mirko? Because we suck without him, much, much, much more than we do with him in the team and has played almost every match when he was fit.

And as I said above, I don't see us selling Giovinco after one season, nor do I think we should sell him first from our bunch of forwards.
