For a playmaker, his playmaking is below average. His main strength is definitely his finishing ability so we need to put him in a position where he can use that to the max.
That means getting a strong striker to play around and a strong midfield to hand him them ball in that position.

And every bit helps, so just get a strong leftback as well to stretch the opposing team :p.
Its nice to say we should just push him but its not exactly working like that. He needs to be in a system which can provide him that. Its not just about players. Its about role +other`s role + his natural habit.
Maybe it can work and maybe not - I personally see him as either a second forward or part of a trio up front.

The problem - Ronaldo is half a CF half a LW so we are missing another goalscorer in the box which means as long as we have Ronaldo we have to get a CF and then we can decide if Dybala is part of the trio or still not suited.

There are rumors about Icardi Dybala swap - The good news Icardi fits the goalscorer role, the bad news - I just dont rate him that high and the fact he has such an unlikable personality +Wanda isnt really helping.

We basically need this: Donnarumma instead of Woj, Gosens instead of A.Sandro, Locatelli and MC, CF (a serious threat in the box).
MC - Pogba SMS are the obvious choice due to them being able to score and assist, there are other players such as RDP although Im still unsure about him fitting in, Aouar - Isnt really amazing at assisting or shooting but is a very good all around player, I guess there are some others..

CF - Lets start with the one we cant get AKA Halland and if not possible we can go for other options - I`d say Zapata might be a very good fit but I dont like his age.
Muriel would be a very good backup forward but Atalanta would ask for too much (he might even be a good starting player but it will be a gamble).

Except for Locatelli I dont think we should be optimistic as chances are more against than for..

- - - Updated - - -

expectations: Locatelli, Pogba, Donnarumma etc
reality: sign Caceres as a backup, extend Berna's contract, get Cavani on a 4 year contract worth 10 mil per year
Cavani would probably reject us so at least we get saved there...
Caceres would be funny as we ship him and then we get him back only to ship him and get him back again.
Berna - I must say he wasnt horrible in his last few games (still want him gone though)

So is Tici offering our scraps all over Europe with the hope of getting a decent player in return?

This particular one is gonna be another unsuccessful attempt.
This Acuna guy is 29 though, few months younger than Alex Sandro. First time I looked up his name was last weekend because he score the winner against Atleti. There could be a case for asking for him at scrap value.

We are going to offer Berna all over Europe. And everyone knows this so the player we swap him for will only join us if we triple his wages. Rinse and repeat.

Damn Magotta can't negotiate


Anyone familiar with Acuna? Is he at least decent?

Decent is better than AS or Bernaturd so

Acuna is a nice player, but not the one we need imo. Not sure we have the resources, but if by some chance we do after we upgrade the midfield, we should look at players like the Sporting Lisbon wonderkid that plays as their left back, left wingback and as the left CB in a 3 CB formation. I have the kid in that fantasy Top 8 championships that I play with a bunch of retards that I consider friends and have watched and bet a lot on Sporting this season, he is good and still only 18... His price is rumoured to be more than 45-50 mil so I guess won't happen...

I am also very impressed by Dimarco, he is having a massive season at Hellas, but is on loan from Inter, faggots would have a free upgrade on Young and whoever useless bum plays on their left WB...

I don’t think VDB would work in Pirlo‘s midfield double pivot
I think he'd fit in Ramsey's role. But I don't know if Pirlo will stay, keep this formation, etc. As multiple papers have hinted we'd like a 4-3-3.

VDB isn't all that tbh.
I get what you mean. But a swap with Rabiot is definitely a win in my book and I don't see anyone actually paying us 30 mil.
