Id welcome him with open arms, to me he feels similar to Robben before Bayern unlocked his true potential and he stopped choking. Lots of ability and potential, still 29

Id definitely take di Maria, no idea why someone wouldnt want him. One of the best wingers in the world and still in his prime. Might be on his way out if PSG signs Sanchez

 

[Ocelot]

Oh I'd take him, but not for the price PSG would want for him

Yeah but I would rather have Alexis given the choice. I even think that Douglas Costa would make a bigger impact at Juve than Di Maria, and he is three years younger.

I think di Maria would leave only if PSG signs someone better anyway (Sanchez), so obviously Alexis should be worked in primarly. If PSG offer better wages and more money to Arsenal however, di Maria would be the next best thing. Id take DC too but not over Angel

What do people think about Fabregas? We're more in need of a Tolisso, but I wouldn't miss this chance if it presented itself IMO. Most people will say he's done and a piece of shet, but what I see is a massive opportunity a la Beppe to sign another Barzagli or Pirlo for dirt cheap if we act fast. He is not getting playtime at all at Chelsea and could look for a chance abroad.

He is 29 years old, so still has 3-4 years of top football, is INSANELY prolific considering his minutes, 3 goals and 7 assists in only 7 starts! Before that 5 goals and 7 assists in their crap season, and prior to that 18(!) assists and 3 goals, and his last season at Barca was 12 assists and 8 goals! Keeps a very steady flow of key passes in the final third and could very well be a CAM in the 4-2-3-1 (like at Barca, where he was essentially a CAM) or a CM for depth. People might say he is a carbon copy of Pjanic but actually might even be better defensively even though he gets some belt from Conte for his defensive contributions. If we get rid of Sturaro/Lemina and don't sign Rincon then Tolisso+Fabregas wouldn't be a shabby improvement.....

 

[zizinho]

Marotta is an opportunist so if Cesc is available he will atleast consider it

 

[Bianconero81]

Fabregas is definitely not a priority. We need to secure our primary targets first. Guys like Tolisso and Sanchez are what we need. After we secure those guys, we can go for fillers like Fabregas.

Momo Sissoko is available

Bring him back home

Bring him back home

Hardly worse than Khedira am I right

 

[rakib567]

Let's get sanchez and Ozil for free in 2018.

 

[Bianconero81]

Fuck Ozil. The epitome of a pussy.

Fabregas has become a key player at Chelsea lately, doubt they'd sell him.

 

[JuveJay]

Conte will keep anyone he can get 5 games a season out of.

Prime Momo>Khedira for sure though

 

[napoleonic]

Sanchez>costa>di maria

That's my preference of transfer.

 

[Bianconero81]

Costa ahead of Di Maria? :wth: U Mad Bro?!

 

[duranfj]

Honestly I didn't rate Di Maria enough cuz IMO he's overrated like hell and he's IQ isn't better than JGC... I'd rather Sanchez and Costa too over Di Maria but I have to admit that It makes me wonder how much El Fideo could improve with some good italian tactical lessons

 

[napoleonic]

Costa ahead of Di Maria? :wth: U Mad Bro?!

Costa is cheaper and younger, both are dependant on pace so it's likely di maria will out of gas much sooner than costa and become useless.
