Pls no to 4-3-2-1
We are building a decent base of wide players (Chiesa, Kostic, young Iling)
Just add another winger and a couple of young athletic fullbacks and you got yourself a dynamic team.
He would've been an option if we didn't decide to re-sign Pogba. This train has passed now. Madness spending 50-60M on a midfielder who isn't a necessity at this point.
Besides Fagiot >>>>

We need a dominant durable CM that can withstand JJ and make it a whole season.
fuck pogba - get this guy and if pogba is ever fit then even better when they play together

Having both their aerial ability in the box would be nice too. Both can actually shoot from outside the box unlike Bottletelli

That’s what locatelli is for. Mop up anything behind them. We will have plenty of busy bodies but we need some actually top class talent in midfield if this club ever wants to love forward.

In any case, I doubt pogba will ever really be a consistent figure here and all the more reason we need someone like SMS

Who says getting SMS restricts building on our youth? Both can happen at the same time. No way will we win anything without depth in midfield.
we aren’t keeping rabiot and probably McKennie. Two holes that need filled. SMS would immediately become our best option in midfield and drag the quality of our midfield in the right direction.
pogba should leave. We don’t even know what we can purchase SMS for because we haven’t tried negotiating with Lazio yet. Not sure why you think 60m for a final year of a contract player is the magic number.

It's reasonable to assume SMS will cost a lot of money given that he plays for Lazio and we rarely ever get a player for a fair price from these teams.
Then we're also speaking of his wages. He will likely be among the highest paid players if he came here.
This just feels like another JJ hollywood style signing when there are so many weak spots in the team especially at the back.
I just don't think SMS is that big of a difference maker that can easily mask our weak areas. I feel like we have quitely built a decent base in midfield already so a 'galactico' wouldn't really be necessary.
I still much rather focus on what this team needs atm, that's a couple of fullbacks and probably another CB/Bonucci replacement.

Totally agree on full backs as a priority. No doubt about that.
not certain SMS coming would reduce that priority or not though. I feel like we can do both. Not sure SMS represents a galactico type signing (like Ronaldo or higuain)
I say we focus on fullbacks but also pursue this guy and force lotitos hand: sign for free when he leaves or negotiate with us now for a deal if SMS pushes for Juve. As things stand a fit pogba would be our best CM but adding competition to midfield will make him work harder too and less likely to feel like he can coast - if i could choose, I would off load pogba if needed

we should get some fullbacks, that's not even up for debate.
but look at our midfield next year: locatelli, rovella, miretti and fagioli are most likely to be here, pogba too (but i bet he won't be available for more than 30% of the season). and that's it. rabiot's contract expires and he'll get better offers, mckennie will be sold and he's not a starter level player anyway, paredes won't be purchased, arthur and zakaria won't never play for juve again. so that's locatelli, rovella, miretti, fagioli, and a crippled pogba. that's fucking thin.
until someone comes up with better ideas i'd say sergej should be a priority. not THE priority, just ONE important player to keep an eye on. i don't expect lotito to be easy to deal with, and we should most certainly not overpay (anything above 40m would mean that), but if we can get him, we absolutely should.

Correct.
I think everyone here agrees fullbacks should be brought in before anything else, however, fullbacks and SMS are two different things. Either way, we are going to need a new CM whether we get fullbacks or not b/c of all the holes from deadweights leaving.
I also think this club will sacrifice one of our youth CM's to finance something else. That's my hunch.
