Di Maria is $#@!e. Dat guy can't win u anything.

Bit rich when your main striker is Higuain.

Di Maria was good at Real. He was actually one of the players who was key in 2014 win, while Ronaldo only scored some last extra minute pen there. There is talk about him leaving PSG, age wise can leave and be cheaper now. We need options. We cant buy anyone.

How about you try a dose of reality? We are not Real Madrid financially. We will never have a bench like that. Ever. Get over it.

Not the point, the point is it needs to improve.

80M won't get you Verratti mate

We have zero chance at signing him

Let's not overreact in the heat of the moment

I'd like us to sign one of Roma's midfielders (Strootman/Nainggolan) and Bernardeschi. Schick as backup to Higuaín. Keita if possible and close mercato.

Verratti would Have to push his way out.

I just think we need a big signing now.

RW: Bernardeschi, Cuadrado
CAM: Dybala Bernadeschi

Yeah, not happening bro.

Nainggolan goads Juve fans again
By Football Italia staff

Roma midfielder Radja Nainggolan has again taken to social media to mock Juventus fans after their 4-1 Champions League defeat to Real Madrid.

The Belgian has clashed with supporters many times and posted a video on Instagram following the result in Cardiff.

“What a wonderful evening,” said Nainggolan.

“I am in the training retreat with my national team, unfortunately others are already on vacation. There are those who are on retreat, those on vacation and those who had a day trip to Cardiff.

“I made this video to reply to some who had insulted me and talked beforehand – you don’t do that. You never talk before the event.

“I just wanted to see if the same people who said those things would reply to me now. I made this video for the Juventus fans, but maybe it’s too expensive to be connected this long. They already spent so much during the game.

“Three days ago you were bigging yourselves up, so what do you say now?”

As much as I'd love Radja here, he's impossible. He has passed the point of no return. Can we stop bringing his name up now?

Its not only about money. We play with a formation that needs 4 forwards yet we don't have anybody on the bench to replace them if we want to keep playing with the same formation

True but the formation was changed during the season and pjaca also got hurt. I'm sure marotta will address it. Schick and a versatile winger like Keita Balde or Bernardeschi would be fine.

 

[Xperd]

Sell :
Lemina
Asamoah
Kean (loan)
Lichtsteiner
Khedira


Buy:
Schick - €25M
Chesney - €16M
Bernardeschi - €50M
De Sciglio - €12M
Strootman (€45M release clause) or some other top CM
Keita if possible now or for free in 2018

Pretty realistic mercato if you ask me

Kenny Chesney? Don't want strootman but agree about CM. Rest looks good.

Wouldn't go near strootman. Get tolisso

[Xperd]

I'm not convinced of Tolisso yet. Not sure we even need a attack minded midfielder like him tbh. I don't see him as a Vidal at all.

I think we're missing the grinta in midfield. And our best bet is to look for someone within the league.

I feel like his dynamism would help, our mids are too static

I mostly agree wth Xperd's list. Couple of things that I want differently are Fabinho instead of Strootman and keeping Khedira as a back up instead of selling him.

 

[DanielSz]

Our midfield just needs more talent. Khedira shouldn't be starting anymore. Add strength. Add technique. Just get better.

 

[Xperd]

Yes Fabinho would be ideal too.

I suggested selling Khedira because I'm not sure he'll accept being a backup.

 

[DanielSz]

I think either Bentancur or Mandragora would surprise if kept. Bentancur has a versatile game, and Mandragora reminds me of a young Busquets.

He better accept it, it's his new reality. Or he can fuck off to China for 40m

 

[Afghan_juventus]

Depends who comes in. Fully fit and inform he should be the DM in what i believe should be a 3 man midfield.

In a 3 man midfield no one starts ahead of him. Even when not fully fit he is world class in that position. Next season it will be interesting to see how he can adjust to a 2 man midfield when fully fit.

1. Figure out how you'll play as a formation. Can't splash $$$ on wingers and change to a 4312. Figure out Dybala's position, I don't like him as an AMC as he loses much of his potential there, but playing him as a striker means a 2 man attack...again, formation??
2. Stop using a 3 man defence in big CL games and stop using Barzagli as a RB, tho I understand why he played yesterday there.
3. Improve overall quality of team, meaning some starters will start rotating and hit the bench, avoiding #2.
4. Sell players that aren't reliable even coming from the bench. I don't care they're good for rotation, depth but only against Crotone, Pescara, bla bla bla. Sell Sturaro, Lemina, Asa, Licht, Neto.
5. Khedira / Rincon situation...Rincos seems like the type of player we are missing but seen far too little of him to have an opinion on his game but I saw him more aggressive and more dynamic than Khedira. We need a warrior with grinta, a Vidal type and Khedira isn't that guy amd RIncon may have some technical limits..maybe Khedira will be beter in a 3 man midfield, again formation??
6. PLEASE please PLEASE no more Mandzu as a winger and the same goes for Alves. I get it, Mandzu sacrifices himself for the team, tracks back, warrior spirit...but by playing them as wingers you're inviting opposition's fullbacks to play in your half and you can't go on a break because we miss speed, dribbling in those areas. With proper WC wingers we might concede more goals as they don't help defensively that much, but we'll score much more because of a much better end product and Higgy will benefit from this too, Dybala might work better in AMC too and the opposition's fullbacks will be aware of the damage our wingers will do on a break.

This is a make or break mercato for Beppe; we can fall apart from this loss or we'll show the world we mean business.
