We really should get this kid. Under Conte he could become the next big thing. It's worth trying, more than chasing a new Aguero/RVP/Sanchez every summer.

Still doesn't make sense without any other wingers signed.
Just because you can't hit all girls it doesn't mean it's not worth trying ;) We have to start from somewhere or once again we'll hear Conte complaining about inability to play 433 because Pepe is injured in the middle of the season.

What about Coman, isn't he pretty adept to playing on the wings as well?
If we're planning to utilize an 18 year old unproven youngster as a first team choice, then yes.

Don't get me wrong, I love the Coman signing and I'm pretty sure he will get decent minutes and might turn out amazing, but to actually plan on him being part of the starting XI is hella risky.

Do you realistically see us signing another first-choice quality winger worthy benching Tevez and Llorente in the same transfer window where we've already bought a player for 25 million?

And Iturbe would not come for a bench role, it would be a bad move both for him and the club.

Iturbe will be a first team player that's for sure. Just take a look at competition on the wings he'd have.

It all depends on how often Conte uses 433/442/4231.

That's the thing. We simply do not have any wingers worthy of starting for us right now. For any formation Iturbe plays in, we need a second winger. Along with this other winger, they also have to be good enough to warrant the then ineviteble benching of any of the other usual first choice XI. This is unlikely given our budget. Therefore, 3-5-2 remains the primary formation and Iturbe can't play there, barring a Giovinco type SS role, which would probably turn out horrible.

    But we have to start somewhere and so far there is no indication that we will always play with wingers

    Iturbe will play depending on formation. Someone like Pogba will play regardless of the formation. Wich is why Pogba is "first choise starter" and Iturbe is "first team". Like Marchisio or Caceres

    :tup: Exactly what I meant. Pogba is a starter and Iturbe will be a first team player.

    But on the other hand Coman can't be compared to Itrube. The latter will definitely contribute more.
