So Cuad to the left? or Silva to try on the left?

Silva should be AM/SS or RW, not LW. And its already proven Cuadrado cannot be LW.


So yeah its kinda hard to see how Silva would fit in our side, except be backup.


But he is better then lemar still.

 

Buy on AliExpress.com

I'll have one Donnarumma to go, thx

 

[Itay]

So are we talking about raiding Monaco this summer?

Sure. why not? though I think we should only get Fabinho, and maybe Sidibe. our winger hunt should be somewhere else (Arsenal I hope).

Well in this case I`d take Lemar as we can improve on Mandzukic even he does his work very well you cant really call him WC...
Silva can be bought to rotate with Cuad and also be vice Dybala

I wonder what Raiola wants him to do. Imagine he doesn't sign a contract and we get him for free in a couple seasons.

Instead of Sidibe I would like us to make a cheeky bid for this kid for LB, only seen him for 2 games, but holy hell did his drive with the ball leave significant impression.






He is Lucas Hernandez younger brother. And bad news is, like Lucas, he is owned by Athletico. Tho they could probably entertain bids if need be.

It will happen. Such is the Raiola way for players.

 

[rakib567]

Bernando Silva will cost 50m+ and he'll bench cuadrado.
We also need a player aas mandzukic backup. someone like anderson, keita, Brant, lemar, d.costa.

We should buy 4 wingers + mandzukic.
If we need to rest Higuain we can play Mandzukic as number 9.
If we need to rest Dybala we can play Pjanic/B.Silva for example and play a diffrent CM/RW depending on who replaces dybala.

Running back for sure lol.


He reminds me of Bale when he was LB in first seasons.

He has a 24m release clause. Is it worth spending that much money when we have Sandro and Asamoah?

 

[italiacalcio10]

I think he can bench Mandzukic if he does some defensive work as well (didnt notice anything about his defensive work)
As for Lemar attacking wise he can defensive wise Im not sure about it

- - - Updated - - -



No thanks

Lemar appears to be a good defensive player statistically
Out of wingers, wide attacking midfielders:
There are 100 players who have played >15 games in that position

He ranks this year:
Tackles - #29
Tackles Attempted - #22
Fouled - #33
Clearances - #63
Passes Blocked - #21
Crosses Blocked - #30
He didn't block any shots. But 38 of the players in the sample have blocked no shots.

FIFA 17 for what its worth gives him defensive stats of a wingback.

Quotes:
"The youngster knows how to strike the ball from distance and how to set it up for the colleagues. His dribbling skills and his pace unsettle the opposition’s defense. A player who is capable of playing in almost every midfield position is setting some sky high expectations from the fans. He has got a tricky left foot and is capable of scoring the goals from direct free-kicks as well."

"Where I find Lemar most exciting though is whenever Monaco transition into counter attacks. Because of how central his positioning is, when Monaco want to turn it loose, Lemar can become part of the action. He has the technical ability to make the difficult passes that really open up an unorganized opposition and even when he’s not directly involved, he occupies the correct spaces so that he can receive the ball and keep the counter going."

""He can play in any position apart from centre-forward," said former Monaco defender Eric Di Meco. "He's good on the flank or behind the attacker, and he's a strong runner."
"

 

[Itay]

We are in a very good position right now, and we can't waste that... 4 wingers?? come on man...

2 players, CM and winger, both WC, and another winger for backup. that's it. that's all we need. if there's money we can try replacing Licht, but it can wait another year. no big deal.

 

[Hust]

Running back for sure lol.

He def fits the name lol

Sell Asamoah. So, yeah.

We get him for free and a few seasons later Sells him to Mantschester for €90m

If we need to rest Higuain we can play Mandzukic as number 9.
If we need to rest Dybala we can play Pjanic/B.Silva for example and play a diffrent CM/RW depending on who replaces dybala.

We will need to go for accesible players then, since buying all those 4 wingers but with WC status would be IMO too hardcore moneywise. It would be too much IMO

For a cuadrado sub, we can go for Schick. He has great end product, great left foot, is tall as hell and can dribble (something that people liked to crtiticize from Berardi)....and most importantly.. he could be accesible without breaking the bank too much.

On Manzuckic side we already have Pjaca, remember. We need to use him and make him adapt his game to our needs.

What we dont have is a Dybala sub... but if we buy a playmaker midfielder like Goretzka...we can use Pjanic in the hole and play a midfield of Goretzcka-Khedira/Marchisio/Mandragora, for games that we want to rest dybala. Easily.

For strikers, when we want to rest Higuain, we start Pjaca as LW, and Mandzukic as lone striker. Or we simply rest both and use Kean.

The rest of the budget could go to patch holes in defence if needed and thats it mane.

An accesible mercato without having to pay gazillions.

 

[Osman]

You do realize Schick is a central forward and not a hardworking winger?

 

[DAiDEViL]

Schick is already a calcio legend to some, can play everywhere.

 

[zizinho]

Backup for Cuadrado AND Dybala, should still play a lot of games for us. But we arent getting neither

He would be perfect for both roles, but too expensive for backup role. He is good enough to bench Cuadrado, that is if we didnt have an AM like Dybala but different type. He is pretty similar in style to Dybala, would be kinda odd to see them drift to same areas.
