Mandzukic isn't surplus.He fell out with Simeone.

Siquiera is being brought as a backup.He isn't any different from the Romulo signing.

I'm ok with Mandzukic deal but Siquiera with 9 Mil next year.....

That is very expensive consider he is 29 years old now and come in as a backup LB.

Better Siqueira as backup than De Ceglie. The first has experience in European cups and he's solid.

Thanks to this we just move Asamoah to midfield where we're a bit short right now. All we'll need is a starting 11 AM to be ready to go into the season.

Yeah, nothing exciting and flashy but hopefully allows to save up money for an AM.

I guess Selling Llorente and Isla would help a lot as well but it seems Sevilla decided to lowball us with those and wait till last weeks of mercato.

It honestly amazed me how you used to respond to him with such calmness and composure despite his delusions of grandeur.
A temperamental guy like me can't so I just decided to use the ignore option.His posts have become rakib level unbearable.And here I was thinking he's a decent poster a while ago.
I try to do that with everyone regardless how stupid their opinions are, unless of course like Zizinho they become trolls and keep proudly flaunting their ignorance and delusion.

Anyway on the topic of this thread: I think Siqueira is a decent fullback, he didn't do too badly for Atletico last season. I watched them quite a bit and didn't miss any of their games against the big two(which were a lot) and he played especially well against Real a few times. Going forward there is absolutely no doubt about his quality, he's a good dribbler, has good technique and crosses the ball well. Perhaps he isn't as disciplined defensively as he should be, but I think the main reason he won't be starting for Atletico next season is the fact that Filipe Luis became available again, I doubt they were actively looking for another leftback.

Also, the way Juve are set up, playing with a DM and two central mids ahead of him that do a lot of defensive work IMO is a lot more tolerant of fullbacks who aren't such good defenders.

Those numbers are good TBH, especially if it's an option and not obligation.

I wanted Alex Sandro or Kurzawa but oh well.. we better sign that AM now with all these savings we are making.
