I reckon Sneijder to PSG would make Pastore surplus to requirements, not Verratti. It would depend on whether Ancelotti continues his stay there or not, though. There are some rumours he and Mou may well switch places next year.
As far as i know, psg doesnt got many of the type of player that mourinho would want.

why? do pastore and verrati start together?
Verratti is being played in the deep-playmaker role alla Pirlo, while Pastore has been pretty disappointing for a 2nd season now as an attacking mid, which is what Sneijder would ultimately play as if he were to move to PSG.

True that. I've never seen Verratti play in any other position other than a deep lying playmaker at PSG. Did he play as an attacking mid in Pescara?

He needs quite alot of players to turn p$g into the team he wants.

Not every team will just release key players to them like milan did :p
the thing is PSG look like a team that think that all they need to do to build a great team is just go out and buy the hottest name available on the market and if that player isn't available, just make his club an offer they can't refuse - and I am not talking horse heads here :p

Milan did the right thing by selling Ibra and Silva, each for different reasons, it's the timing of these sales, with all senatores leaving as well, that sucked and put the club in a difficult situation ... as well as the lack of reinvesting at least half of that money in a set of new, young talents.

believe he was still a deep playmaker but not 100% sure

They should have never sold the old guard, and zlatan, and silva.
The old guard made sense, but they needed a leader that can carry the team on his back for the transition.

Fuck pato, in all honesty. And el sharaawy isnt going to keep bailing out milan when they switch to all out attack the final quarter.

They should have kept zlatan. He would make up for the defensive weakness, and european teams cant figure out how to break their deeplying defence anyway.

Zlatan, paired with el sharaawy. the latter is going to be overplayed, and potentially will suffer a serious dropback. its to early for him.

Berlusconi's financial talk is laughabale. if they kept zlatan, they would have ended in CL again, and that money that they are now going to lose out to, is bigger then selling zlatan brought.

Verratti is being played in the deep-playmaker role alla Pirlo, while Pastore has been pretty disappointing for a 2nd season now as an attacking mid, which is what Sneijder would ultimately play as if he were to move to PSG.
I dont really see how pastore and verratti would fit in the same team. sneijder and verratti would be a much much better combination, even if sneijder's talent would be as low as pastore's.
If psg get sneijder, get mourinho, then the situation changes dramatically, not that many new players would be required

Italian managers are often praised abroad, but seriously, looking at the transfers that mancini and ancelotti did, they massively imbalance their teams

:) i know where they are being played, my question was around them starting together
:tup:

usually you would see Verratti in deep-lying role with Pastore playing up front - a bit like the right winger in a 433 but with more freedom to move around - with Menez and Ibra. Lavezzi was mostly on the bench or rotated with Pastore and Menez.

Today Verratti is on the bench - most likel the result of some poor outings recently - and Pastore is the creative force in midfield with Lavezzi and Menez up front backing Ibra.

so, in short, they often start together but not always and not today. :)

I completely disagree with you on Milan keeping Ibra - he is a great individual player, no doubt about it, but is getting old and his strong character have always made him a poor team player, who wants to be the focus of the team and that makes the team predictable and puts a natural ceiling, so to speak, to how far the team can go. Sure, he would guarantee a top 2 finish in Italy and a 1/4 final in the CL but that's as far as it would go with him. This being said, if he were 25 yo, I doubt Milan would have sold him no matter what.

TS was sold because no 28 yo CB is worth 43mil+bonus - just too much money to say no to. The rest from the old guard left mostly on their own as they realized it was an end to an era for them being 36-37 yo and all. The only gripe I had with all this was that it all took place in one summer, and a bit spontaneously without it being planned for beforehand. And of course as mentioned, almost none of that money was invested as well.
