We didnt have a mediocre GK for a long time I guess its time again...
Even though Tolisso is far better in terms of current level+goals and assists ratio+playing in a more serious league?
Also there shouldnt be a Tolisso vs Tielemans as we could get Tielemans regardless of Tolisso...

I can't see us getting both unless because i hope we target the likes of sanchez. But if we dont target an offensive player i would love to get both and stick Pjanic as number 10 perminalty.
We can get Tolisso this summer, and agree a pre-contract for Tielemans, bringing him on board in the summer of 2018. We could actually get both this summer, provided we sell Lemina, Sturaro leaves, and we loan out Mandragora and Bentacur. That'll leave us with only Khedira, Marchisio, Rincon, and Pjanic in midfield, which is nowhere near enough in my opinion.
Tielemans is a good prospect but he isnt ready to take his place in our first 11 Tolisso can surely fight for it!
As for the Pogba Vidal comparisons - I think they are different kind of players
Vidal is more dynamic than Tolisso but Tolisso is a smarter player
Pogba is quite unique as he is really technical while very physical - can dribble reach most balls great vision really amazing player
Tielemans - He is talented has great passing ability not nearly as physical as Pogba and his dribbles are more in order to get out from tough situations rather than skip over players - seems to have a menace shooting ability
Id take Tielemans under 30M as I think he has the potential. P.S I dont think he is a smart player..
As for Tolisso - 30M-35M should be the max IMO but I think he will be bought for 40M..

BTW the Isco situation with Real Madrid - How much do you think we should spend on him? Would you take him over James?

Marotta would have probably made an enquiry during the purchase of caldara about Conti. But i think we are putting a lot of faith on Lirola. Hence why we extended Lichtsteiner to give Lirola time to develop.
2017-18: Lichtsteiner and Alves (both 34 years old)
2018-19: Alves and Lirola (35 and 21 years old)
So if Lirola develops into a starter then we will get a solid backup for him. If not then we can strike a Alex sandro type of deal at around 20-30 mil area and keep lirola as backup.
Joel Untersee is not doing too bad. Maybe he could be a nice surprice and might develop into the backup RB we need.
