I get all that. But I wasn't talking about the financial side of it or resale value, those factors I understand the reservations for . But I meant just the outright shitting on top class proven player because he is certain age, while hailing frankly fringe depth young players as saviours.

I like our youth players (as 20 years here of me being excited by all our youngsters should tell you all) and the outsider Rovella.


But it reads as pure insanity to me to say no to SMS or Verratti because of them. They are very far from that level, they should be depth players at best until they show more.


No way in hell I'm saying no on footballing level, to top class midfielders who would start and instantly elevate us, especially after us losing Rabiot, for young mids who are all inferior to the current version of Locatelli, who I find dissapointingly mediocre so far.


I do not want to go into next season as our current options as next seasons midfielders. We will lose Rabiot and that bum Paredes, and who knows if Pogba will ever be fit enough to play more then 20 minute subs appearances currently.

So yeah we urgently need a quality boost in midfield. Games are lost and won in the midfield.


But this is all moot if we don't fire Allegri.
We do need a boost in midfield (Id say 2nd most important addition besides a right sided player), but you cant evaluate a potential transfer without the financial side. Id happily have Verratti on a free transfer and a 3.5m salary like Pirlo, I'm sure 90% would. but thats just unrealistic, he'll cost 5 times more and thatd be a faithful continuation of the Tici and Bini wreckage.

They would be great start. Follow it up with a SMS signing, and Di Maria renewing contract OR us signing top winger, AND firing Allegri, and I would just:

The only grear start is when u move firing Allegri as a first thing to do. If IT doesnt happen all the other things are irrevelant and IT wont be a good start. This motherfucker actually wants to smuggle his buddy as our DS.

I find the Pau Torres and Giuntoli rumors very exhilarating :tuttosport:
I want us to sign a good CB but from what I have seen Im not sure who from Bremer Gatti and P.T to pick.
Bremer is a bit disappointing compared to what we or at least I expected.
Gatti is actually doing relatively well.
I mean P.T is good but can he be a clear favorite over the former duo?

Giuntoli sounds quite good actually.

Even 5M would be acceptable but like you said - unrealistic.

Carnesecchi Watch

2-0 win for Cremonese over Spezia. Depending on how Verona-Lecce goes today this could be the result that makes Cremonese's survival look possible again.

0:07 brilliant save from Marco
0:24 an even better one


0:35 chance for Cremonese begins with an accurate long pass from Carnesecchi

0:55 goal for Cremonese. Benny Hill defending from Spezia and a decent finish

1:25 Spezia unlucky not to score, Carnesecchi beaten by a brilliant shot and ball hits the bar. The next clip is them firing over the bar.

At 2:30 he didn't get a touch, but his scrambling to keep the angle covered really reminded me of Gigi.

Giuntuli practically confirmed he is coming.
Not denying something related to Juve means he is either inetersted in the job or he already signed the contract/agreed terms

I dont rate his second save as it was coming at him. Thank you for your useful analysis

It was coming at him but he had a split second and turned it well over the bar.

Tek faces those and spills them back into the six yard box
