Strootman immediately becomes our best mid not named Pjanic if he arrives.

Strootman
Marchisio
Pjanic

Great trio. Strootman is solid defensively and also creative offensively. He'll allow Pjanic to move up. Matuidi and Khedira can rotate with Marchisio and Strootman, while Bentancur backs up Pjanic.

If we buy him and Porto RB then i'll rate this Mercatto 10/10
I would rate 10/10 if we kept Bonucci and Alves and replaced Asabob and Lichsteiner with Spinazzola and Rb (Pereira,Cancelo,whatever it's out there), get a young CM instead of another (GOOD but) 30years old one.
and James instead of Costa and Bernardeschi. So we could field a 4-3-1-2. 3 strikers, 3 midfielders and Sandro + Alves pushing it.

This.
Matuidi+Milinkovic for midfield
James as Trequartista to switch with either Pjanic or Dybala
Spinazzola 4 free
Pereira as back up RB instead of Alves and that's it.

4 new guys and 1 our boy back from Atalanta.

James went for 40m to Bayern
Matuidi 20m
Pereira has release of 25m?
Spinazzola 4 free
Milinkovic Savic 55m and leaving them their Keita.
Kessie 28m as good back up with Khedira. Giving us 5 midfielders for 3 spots.

Selling Cuadrado,Asabob and useless youth we sold.
Voilà a champions winning mercato.

158m totally affordable with all the money we made this year.
Cuadrado 30 , Asa 5 , Cassa 7.6 , Romagna 7.
Getting 4 youths and 2 experienced players.

Roma have announced Kevin Strootman’s latest knee surgery 'went well’.

The midfielder is having a third operation on the troublesome joint, this time to have his cruciate ligament rebuilt, after initially rupturing it in a match against Napoli in March 2014.

The Dutch international then returned to training and playing, but made just six Serie A appearances before he was forced to have another operation for Cyclops Syndrome.

This morning it was confirmed that he will be out for several months while he recovers from another surgery.

“Kevin Strootman today underwent reconstructive ACL [anterior cruciate ligament] surgery on his left knee,” the Giallorossi confirmed in a statement.

“The operation went well and the midfielder will now continue with his rehabilitation program.”

Roma will be without Kevin Strootman for at least a month, as the Dutch midfielder once again requires knee surgery.

Strootman has been struck down by so-called 'Cyclops Syndrome’, which is associated with people who have undergone cruciate ligament reconstruction.

The condition causes a progressive loss of mobility in the knee, with pain and an audible noise if the knee is fully extended, which is caused by tissue over-replicating during the healing process, leading to swelling.

In a statement on their official website, the Giallorossi confirmed that Strootman will undergo surgery in Amsterdam tomorrow.

“Yesterday Strootman had another meeting with professors Kierhoffs and Van Dijk, who operated on him.

“During the visit he was found to have a mass of fibrous tissue (called Cyclops Syndrome), and it was suggested this be removed through arthroscopy.

“The surgery will be performed in Amsterdam tomorrow, and will also be used to evaluate the status of the [cruciate] ligament.”

The surgery is expected to sideline Strootman for at least a month, and possibly longer if there is further damage to the cruciate ligament.
That's like taking space shuttle challenger that blew up...recovering as many parts as you can from the wreckage...rebuilding...and tryin again.

Pls. Space Shuttles are like super durable, didn't you watch the Armageddon documentary? They'd never blow up like in the Challenger movie. This the most unrealistic thing i've ever seen.

So ginocchio is knee, caviglia is foot. I assume "infortunio al legamento crociato" is a strain to his anterior cruciate which wasn't operated on? Or maybe it was the condition he developed while healing after his second knee operation. Main thing is that he hasn't torn the same ligaments twice. That's the biggest of all red flags.

But like I said, he had a very good year coming back from injury. He's definitely worth gambling on.
