How about Pogba? Surely Man City would be willing to take him… they don’t seem to care about rules and regulations and all that nonsense.
Tbf even they can’t bypass a doping suspension, maybe only if it happened while he was already playing there, now it’s too late.

It doesn't make sense to sell everyone for so cheap like this, certainly not 2 players and cash for a flaky Brazillian. Illing Jr can play left and right defense, midfield, and even as an attacker in a trident. He is perfect for Motta's tactics. Send Kostic to Villa instead. McKennie can go, there are many players like him. Chiesa can go for the right amount, but good luck getting a certified quality player because we got Kulusevski for 40M last time. Losing Soule is a bad idea. He can play wing and playmaker, he was very good for that shitty team. Also, why would we not get rid of Locatelli, is he special? I can't see him playing at all given how well Fagioli is developing and if we get Poopminer and Luiz, Locatelli is on the bench for good. Motta has developed many of the Bologna players, let him do the same for Soule, Iling Jr, and others, then sell for double next Summer.

Bro, iling is on his last year of contract and has scored one goal and two assists last season. Getting 18 or 15m for him is a good deal, that's not cheap.
McKennie ain't worth that money either.

There’s the idea of a Kostic-Morata exchange‼️

With Allegri's farewell and old menagment; Dybala proposed himself to Guintoli with a big return.

Guintoli has not closed the door and La Joya is ready for a sensational return.

That’s a swap i wouldn’t mind, although i’d rather we move on from Morata and look for someone new i can still see why we’d want to do it, can provide cover both at ST and LW and might potentially free us of Kostic while at it.

Morata as a backup sounds perfect. Just offload Milik or Kean first.
Morata as a starter isnt that bad either lol.
If we do sell Chiesa we have 0 LW in the team as Illing is leaving and Kostic is highly rumored for a switch (maybe even Atletico as someone mentioned them).

Morata was actually a player that always performed for us - He wasnt the best finisher but he was always playing good as part of the team even though he was mainly deployed on the left.

If we do go 4-3-3 - Morata on the left as a left sided attacker wouldnt be the end of the world..

I wouldnt mind him back as with an attacking minded team he did really well (Sarri`s Juve he was the season MVP IIRC).
The only downside for his return would be his fitness issues (and the fact Bianconeri81 might like it and would blast anyone who even write a single word against him).
We can overcome the later but his fitness issues... Do we want to start with it again?
In any case Dybala is not a left sided so If we do get the rapist and Koop - There is the question of where to deploy him.

He'll obviously have interest elsewhere, so there's going to be conflict for Bologna between the wishes of the player (which seem to be he wants Juve) and them not selling him for a lot less than they could get elsewhere.

From that 3 isn't Soule perfect inverted winger for Mottas tactic? Also Huijsen looks like a Cb for Motta

- - - Updated - - -

Damn, wanted him badly at Juve

Soule would be more suited than chiesa in Motta's system yes, but I also think his form dropped off in the latter part of the season just gone. But ultimately we have to make sales to fund our mercato and I'm sorry to say soule is an expendable player. Huijsen is different, he wants to play regularly and frankly I don't see him displacing Bremer and possibly Calafiori. Again because he wants to play and we cannot give him that guarantee still he is expendable.

I think morata would be a good fit for motta, one thing I always liked about morata is how he'd create space for players around him which would seemingly suit Motta. He's certainly not worse than milik and kean, as a cheap backup option I'd be all for it.

yeah, but the report says Atleti still wants 15m for him, i say pass if thats the price.

some nerd spotted that dybala liked motta's announcement



as for calafiori, bologna intends to keep him. unfortunately he's got a long contract so they have a leverage



hence the kiwior rumors probably. calafiori is still young, we have time to get him

It's all games. If they want to keep Calafiori I doubt he won't ask for a new contract, if he does and he doesn't have as good a season next year it will be hard to move him. They know the time is now and will want to monetise.
