wait for another year then. we are aiming for nothing while shit sack is still here anyway. no need to dump stupid amount of money for another high earner with no resale value.
hes on an expiring contract, so he holds most, if not all the leverage. If he's set on Juve, why would another club invest in him knowing he could just leave next summer for nothing? It's kinda like Vlahovic. There are more teams in on him now after his meh season than there were when he was at Fiorentina balling out, but on an expiring contract.
I don't follow - attempting to sign a player who doesn't want to renew gives the buying club plenty of leverage, because the selling club knows it's their last chance to cash in. This is something I've seen repeatedly. Was that not part of why we got Vidal so cheap? That and Leverkusen not wanting to sell to Bayern.
Besides, if he really is that good 30m for a CM at their peak is peanuts for a top club.
No, even though he considers himself an "expert" in his bio. He was one of those that said Allegri to Al Hilal was "soon" but obviously that never materialised.
Can somebody explain to me why this guy is so highly rated on this forum but doesn't seem linked to any other clubs of our size (or perhaps rather the size we want to build back to)? Genuine question, I don't watch Lazio so don't know anything about him besides him being mentioned here.
Just how good is he? And why is no other team with more money than us not sniffing around him?
I'm all up for signing more Serbs, and a boss CM would be a huge boost. Is this that guy?
This guy is the real deal. Rich teams need hyped up names with marketing value to them, not so rich need either youngsters they can cash on or super veterans they can squeeze a year or two out of. This guy doesn't fit any of those criteria.
I think his boom or bust potential is very high. Meaning, his performance can be highly variable, volatile even. One day he can be almost be world class, the next he can disappear easily. I don’t trust Allegri (obviously) to get the most out of him and help him be consistent here. So he’ll be on his own along with his fellow Serbs to figure it out.

i wish either of our midfielders had the consistency of pjanic. guy could deliver 80 passes with an accuracy of 90% on his worst day. of course tuz got used to that and when he didn't assist he was automatically shit, but the reality is that besides his last 6-7 months here he was pretty consistent and our gameplay fell apart without him
sergej is a different player though. i still wish locatelli was half the regista pjanic became, and i wish fagioli or rovella could grow to properly replace pjanic
