Pjanic assists per calender year to overtake Messi's goals per calender year record


....After a month
Would that be the record year after his retirement or before his introduction to the first team? Are you talking PES stats again? :shifty:

FFP is obviously a joke, but the previous ownership of Inter didn't have the cash for a 'get out of FFP jail' card, seems the Chinese 'CIA' does. Heard their motto is 'More for less' and its innovations are award winning these days throughout the times of 'Less for more'. I wouldn't mind them giving the Agnelli's a fight for their money and having gutted pub fanatics in the UK mind-boggled as to why their star player is going to San Siro, leaving the 'best there has ever been' league.

In fact China can slap down the Anglo-Saxons inheritance and pride just for fun these days. They have paid for it.

People actually think Dybala might leave?
Well the reality is that every top player we have is gone to other teams for bigger wages or for glory he thinks he will get with this other team...
Vidal to Bayern
Pogba Man Utd
What do you think will happen when Real offer him 10M net per season and bid 120M for him?! Juventus for first will not turn it down and Dybala will push for Real if it happens...
The most annoying thing is - Just imagine our team with Pogba and Vidal in it... We will have the strongest defense mid and the best attack after Real/Barca which will mean we will probably reach the semi final in the worst case scenario...
We have been linked with Tolisso yeah he is great but he isnt Vidal and Pogba.. Even Verratti isnt Pogba! He might help our mid look awesome but Pogba physicality along with his decisiveness upfront is incomparable to any other midfield player!

P.S De Bruyne - What is his situation with City?

@Orgut
There are two ways to describe reasonably the Pogba deal as a good one:

1. Extreme wages and unrest in our team for pay parity. - Doesn't look likely at all from the outside. Chiellini thoughts on Pogba clearly demonstrate that, BonBon got a payrise and Buffon doesn't give a damn these days. Dybala will get a new contract and Higuain was described multiple times as an independent deal(most likely a lie,but...).

2.Mino and Mourinho do it again. Manage to slow-down Pogba's career, lead Manchester United to a multiple defense of their successful 6th place and implode another dressing room. - Not too likely these days, but one shouldn't lose hope. If we manage to snatch Pogback in another bank robbery in Manchester or find a cheaper and better alternative... Obviously doesn't rhyme with Success Now motto our President is going for in the internal wars at least.

Sanchez would be so fucking dope and he'd fit 4231 but I can't see it happening. Not because of Arsenal and transfer fee but because of his salary demands.

I dont think his wage demands would be the problem - The question is will Arsenal willingness to sell...

P.S Post Buffon - De Gea is linked (seems like a joke...) but they say our prime target is Donnarumma who Milan will probably keep a tight hold into...
Honestly I`d go for Oblak - IMO He is the best under 30 GK in the world!
DONNARUMMA is too young and right now he is mistakes prone - In a few years he will be ready though...
De Gea is great but Oblak is the obvious choice for me! 24 years of greatness!

You could probably sell Mandzukic if you are committing to the 4-2-3-1 completely.
Honestly Mandzukic is a great fit for this formation but he isnt young and we can upgrade on him with a star signing - Cuadrado is a different player to Mandzukic but a great fit as well - We can upgrade on him as well..
I think both players would accept rotation (not entirely benched but not a must starters position)
As for Dybala - Right now even though he isnt doing what I think he should and is capable of doing is a must starter as he receives the ball,take pressure of the team and has a great creative sense!
Pjanic is the true surprise of this formation though as he seems to be the Pjanic we need when playing in a 2 men midfield (central mid wise)

Did Sanchez say anything about his future last few months? His Arsenal wages are low (for a player of his standard) and we can increase them even, but the question is who else is interested. I dont think we would be ready to offer him Higuain level wages, but can see us go as high as 6M with bonuses, and if someone else is willing to give him 7M+, would he come here still? This will be an interesting situation to follow

    He's like indispensable with this new formation. I would look maybe for a type like him if he exists. :D

    Who do you drop and sell?
    With Dybi getting a raise (7M?) Wed have to sell a high earner to afford Sanchez i think. Benatia? Khedira? Dani? One of them might not be here next season i think

    Mandzo is unsellable unless he asks to leave
