but it was cronios who started all that fancy dribblers juve seem to have a fetish to 
he don't want jovetic because he's a dribbler he said, he wanted strict CF when it's become extinct today.
notice that cron don't want this muriel too because he's a dribbler, well I think at this point, a guy like muriel is an opportunity we must dare to risk, seeing as how all our forwards are incompetent; but we need to sell matri and quaq.

Muriel would be an exellent buy , the problem would be the fee , i don't see us signing him for anything less than 15-20 mil , which could escalate very quickly by the end of the season if he performs well , sanchez got sold for 30+ milions after 6 good months in udinese . He is fast , good physically , nice technique , good dribbler and a good finisher . A complete player . The comparision with ronaldo stands , problem is that he seems to have took even the bad habits from him . If i remember correctly at the begining of the season guidolin was angry at him and said that he won't play until he losses 5-6 kg , after it i remember reading that it might be a metabolism problem , or he could just have eaten a lot . We have to be a little cautious if we sign him

Seriosly , nowdays almost any forward knows to dribble if even a little . The days of old forwards who just stay in the box have not so good technique and their sole purpouse is to score is gone . The trezeguets , the inzaghis , the mullers are pretty rare today . The only one that comes at the top of my mind is gomez .
If you look at most big teams , their striker don't only know how to finish , they also have a lot of other aspects in their game .
Real has Benzema , higuain .
ManU has Rooney , Van persie
Man Shitty has Balotelli , Dzeko , Tevez , Aguero
Barca has Villa (also messi if you want to consider him a striker)
Psg has Ibra
It doesn't mean that because he knows how to dribble it means he can't finish , just like muriel he is a good dribbler , but he also is a good finisher

This is because of Barca and the Spain NT, but because they can afford to play like that, t doesnt means that anyone cans.
We have managed to emulate in a great degree that kind of football and i dont hate it.
BUT, we dont have the same quality, it could be enough vs the weak Italian teams, bit not the strongest ones and not in Europe!
In such derbies the weakness of our current offensive options cost us dearly and this must stop.
Since players like Drogba and Zlatan who can score and create are very rare and expensive
and since we have the creativity very well covered with a great variety of options, we should now focus on the finishing characteristics.
And if we cant sign a DP, Drogba, Zlatan, Benzema, Messi and have to settle with a compromise, the compromise who can do less overall , but smth good enough and that smth should be the finishing, because this is what we lack the most.
The last forwards we got, Iaquinta, Amauri, Matri, Quaq, Vucinic, Giovinco were all great overall, but none of them was a consistent finisher (only Quaq but he is not consistent)
they could score, but not consistent enough. This is why i criticised their acquisition and this is why i criticise this one as well.
Good player, but not whatwe need atm.
After securing the Llorente, then by all means grob the Sanchez, Jovetic and Muriels of the world.
But as it stands, we need to invest more on a finisher, imo a Cavani-Giovinco/Vucinic partnership would be far more productive than a Muriel-Llorente/Pazzini one.
Because i believe that the optimal way to improve is by upgrading your weakest link, before you fine tune what is already working in a satisfacatory way.
Exactly, i wouldnt mind a DP who can score as easy as he can create, pass, dribble, but the prime characteristic of the next forward acquisition should be is ability to score with consistency!

I mentioned him last summer. The guy is gonna be great and we better put our hands on him sooner than later. I don't know how we'd use him tbh, he plays behind Di Natale in 3-5-2 as ss, so in Vucinic's/Gio's role. In 4-3-3 I find it hard to place him anywhere but still I hope we get him. I guess we'd use him as our striker.
If we can't afford him now we better co-own an option to co-own his half or whatever. Marotta, if you read this: this guy is another Cavani or SES in the making, don't fuck it up. He's ready for a big club, he could play with us in CL and we have great relations with Udinese.
