Summer mercato thread 2017-18 (159 Viewers)

[Badass J Elkann]

Honestly i'm at loss for this summer mercato.
We can hardly improve.
Definetly we'd need a right back and one between Lich and Dani alves have to go.
Lichsteiner has always been our swiss train but lacking everything else. He is now 33-34years old making many fouls and costed us quite a bit this season in terms of goals conceded.
Dani Alves is 33 as well but he seems like he is on holiday and played really bad so far. Plus both him and Lich complain if they're benched.

thinking about it we could try Danilo which has been totally benched by Real. It can be a chance. And in 2018 Lirola will come back to us.


Actually we have a lot of midfielders Pjanic,Marchisio,Khedira,Sturaro,Rincon and Mandragora.
Problem we're now playing a 2 man midfield and beside Pjanic,Marchisio and Khedira the rest is not up there quality speaking.
We'd need a 4th reliable and strong midfielder.
But honestly i'd struggle to show someone the door. Rincon he is new and came cause we needed someone in case of anyone getting injured. And with Khedira in your team this is always a possibility.
Plus Marchisio has been injured for months and just came back playing.
Sturaro in 2015 really impressed me. But since then he didn't improve and when was given chance he didn't do too well (or rather he was BAD).
But he is 23 years old and Italian and needed for new FIGC rules.

The only one who can basically is Mandragora who has been injured since he joined us. He'll prolly be loaned somewhere (Genoa)

Now considering we'll stick (dunno maybe the new manager this summer will change formation again) to a 2man midfield who could we go for which we'll help us improve?

There are many names but most are out of reach for many reasons.
Without thinking about who would warm the bench?? and how'd they react?

Tough choice. If I were Rakib I would say Dahoud,Verratti,Goretzka. Also Rabiot really impressed and his contract will expire next summer (2018).
So if I were to say someone it would be either Dahoud or Goretzka and Tielemans. Both are young and could accept to be benchers switching between Pjanic-Marchiso and Khedira.

so final answer is : Pick one from Dahoud,Tielemans and Goretzka. My choice would be Goretzka.


Attack at the moment we lack someone on Cuadrado's role as if he get injured or anything we'd have to switch to 4-3-1-2 role or move Dybala there with Pjanic taking Dybala role behind Higuain.
Many wants a high profile like Sanchez.
He is not too old but neither young and would cost really a lot.
I'd like someone a bit young with more pace and dribblings.
I'd pick one between Bernardeschi, Ryad Mahrez, Bernardo Silva and Salah.
Salah would be my ideal option. He is 24years old. Really fast and quite clinical. He already scored 8 goals and 7 assist for Rome and has played African Coup missing some games.
Bernardeschi would my second best choice. He is 23 years old , Italian (that's matter a lot for new rules and for keeping the team with a italian core). He scores a lot this season. Already 10goals.
My only worries about him is that Sousa often play him in a different Role. And he woudn't be the classic right winger. I see him more like a second striker or an attacking midfielder. Plus he is no Cuadrado or Salah when talking about pace.
Third Mahrez. 25years old he is in a second rated english team. I think he would be cheaper than Bernardeschi or Salah (considering they play in Fiorentina and Roma) he has the quality and proved it in Leicester wonder season.

my pick is Salah


As cbs if we keep Benatia we're set. Else let's bring Caldara in.

Goalkeeping. For the next year we're set with Buffon. Once he retires we should go either for Donnarumma or for Oblak.

danilo is so bad, if he were Italian he'd be called zaccardo

Man, I grew old.

Back in the day every single transfer looked possible in my eyes. Nowadays it just makes me laugh most of the time.

More because you grew and Serie A shrank. Thanks shinter.

Salah srsly

Salah at Juve @Hist @Post Ironic ::

Where is my mention?

 

[Hust]

Val said Salah?

 

[zizinho]

And Mahrez too ffs typical one season wonder, flash in the pan player. I know Osman loves him tho.

didnt even see Mahrez, was only looking at the names he highlighted

and yeah, hes an one season wonder, said that last summer too when everyone went apeshit for him and Vardy

Where is my mention?

sorry man i just now remember you too used to lol at Hist and his love for Salah

but lets be honest, who wouldn't want a Cuadrado that score at least 10gol per season in his team ::

Alexis Sanchez has been granted leave with the club's permission. Travelled to Italy with his best friend today for a short break.

Tuttosport tomorrow:

Sanchez close to Juve. In Turin for a medical.

its happening

Val said Salah?

don't get why people are laughing at Salah.
About Danilo i'm saying there aren't many options in that position.
Him and Vrsaljko. Real Madrid paid him 31milions can he be so bad? If we could get him for a 10m wouldn't you risk it on a 25years old player?

Facts are we need a right back. Who would you name that is possible and woudn't cost us an arm to get???

FYI Alexis is already 28

Virtually retired. 5 more years in retirement league should suit him

Mahrez is the perfect Arsenal player. We get Sanchez and Arsenal get Mahrez, everyone is happy.

Why would you buy a player who is clearly inferior to Dani Alves and Lichtsteiner for any amount of money? I doubt Real would be willing to make such a loss when selling him either.

Need more young players for the future.We are the oldest team left in CL right now. GET SMART

It is not a fact, not even sure if it qualifies as an alternative fact.

Very hard to find an improvement to our current options at right back.
