GDM Said we are considering to sign Fabinho (and Tolisso) this summer :xfinger:

Fabinho is such a Juve kind of player, all around towering dynamic player that can do it all. He is like N'zonzi except he can play 3 positions and is completely two way player.

Tolisso seems like one of those names we "miss" out on and ends up flopping somewhere else.
So true

Pass - overrated and acts like a Napoli player.
I disagree hes overrated but how does he act like a Napoli player?

Indeed, surprised it took so long to get him linked to us.

Blatant dive in the box in the second half when he threw himself to the ground holding his forehead, not kicking the ball out for an injured player, petulant foul down in the corner during the Glik/Higuain nonsense late on.

Okay, saw all those situations but didnt really play attention to them, so didnt realize it was him on all of them. Still, do you remember how Higuain acted before coming here? I wouldnt pass on a quality player for something like that

True, I didn't like Higuain before he joined but for me his undoubted ability made up for it.

Personally, I don't rate Fabinho highly enough especially given the likely costs involved.

imo, hes the best player we can sign at the moment for the midfield (maybe bar Goretzka whos not better currently but has more potential). As a bonus, he can also play wide at RB and RWB, which makes him a valuable asset for us considering how many different formations we use

Agree. He's very eclectic.

Let's spend all our money on Mbappe.

well he's won 0 at juventus so.....
We need more than just 1 player but I personally think he will be brilliant in the Mandzukic role as he dribbles from wide through the center many times - Reports say he is Real`s..

What we need for the wings are 2 players (yes 2 as Cuad is good for now but honestly he wouldnt even make the bench at Real...) - Those players need to have - Dribbling shooting passing crossing and need to understand they`ll need to play like a work horse..
Players that fits the bill perfectly - Mbappe,Greizmann,Sanchez
Players that fits the bill quite well but not perfectly - B.Silva James Di Maria Isco
Players with potential that can do lots of damage but are not quite there yet - Bernardeschi

Sell Lichtsteiner

Buy Fabinho

He'll cover both RB and CM. Two issues solved with one player.

Ideal signing.
Yeah but we do need to look at our financials before doing it
Fabinho would surely be a lovely signing but we need a quality CM who can attack and defend (Fabinho is more of a defensive one IMO even if he can go forward as well) LW RW CF (CF is a sub as Higuain will definitely be here to start next season..)
