He is now one of our best hopes to save this disastrous Mercato...

Dont think we still need another attacking option... Hope we really focus on the back post

 

[Tak!]

Mandzukic, Higuain, Dybala, Bernadeschi, Pjaca, Cuadrado, and Costa (am I forgetting anyone?). Our depth is substantially better this year and unless we got a lot of injuries, we should sustain the full season and not be drained in a potential CL final as last year. That is, if Allegri starts to rotate more (I hope he does, he will need to keep all above happy). I would welcome Keita but I wouldn't complain if he didn't and I would prefer a WC RB. I would say DM too, but we've signed Mautidi so...

Another thing to consider is the size of our squad for registration. Correct me if I am wrong now but right now we have 25 players in our squad, including Matuidi. For CL we can only have 25 players and 4 has to have spent 3 years between 15-21(?) in the club. Pinsiglio, Marchisio and Spinnazola is HG but one player would have to step out. I am guessing that Asamoah will do so and will leave the club soon. Then it is fine. But if we sign Keita, we're in the same situation again.

Due to above I would do one of two things:
1) Take a HUGE gamle and let go of Licht and get back Lirola, who I guess is HG? (If not, screw this option)
2) Wait another year, do the above, sell Cuadrado, and take Keita for free.

I am strongly leaning towards the second alternative. The first one isn't a good option.

Coutinho, Dembele, Kondogbia, Keita, Diego Costa. Players getting more brazen every year to force a transfer.

Not very fond of this development... I wonder if we'll ever see icons again. Soon we'll resemble NHL.

We better get Keita if we're passing on Schick.

Lotito said yesterday Keita was turning down every offer but ours.

Bayern of course

Depends. I don't want him to arrive out of shape.

Honest question: Do you think this could mean a 4-3-3 with Berna playing one of the three midfielders?

Few already suggested this. Won't surprise me, remember when Allegri was talking about trying Pjaca as a mezzala in a 3 man midfield, shortly before introducing the 4231? So who knows

You've seen Keita right?

 

[Nzoric]

Im kind of worried about the balance of a Matuidi - Pjanic - Berna midfield. Matuidi cant anchor, thats for sure

I could see that. Also why haven't we even thought about Mandzukic in the midfield?
