Absolutely not. Dybala is a natural 'seconda punta', James is #10, attacking mid. They can easily play together in Max's fav 4-3-1-2.

We cant afford James without Selling Dybala. And balancing pjanic, james and dybala would require new amazing midfield destroyers

I'm not sure Pjanič works well in that position, I'd rather play Marchisio in the middle

Yes me too. Was in response to Zacheryah, if we could fit them in the same team.

i'll unleash my inner rakib+beppe mode, let's see what happens:

in: james (2-year loan for 20, option to make it permanent for further 50), tolisso (2-year loan for 15, option to make it permanent for further 25), bentancur (9, u21), meret (800k loan w/1,65m option, u21), spinazzola (back from loan, u21), benatia (18), total: ~63 without optional fees, ~138 w/options
out: bonucci (let's milk pep, 70), coman (~22), lemina (15), neto (5), zaza (16), total: ~128

We definitely can. The team is underleveraged, and with negative interest rates, the company can argue that it should have more debt. I calculated before the company can probably raise 100 million Euro incremental in debt to fund purchases, along with its regular cash flow. Remember, incremental debt hardly affects the P&L when interest rates are this low. I don't expect rates with rise in Europe much with the low growth environment.

Yeah, it's more a function of willingness hahaha We'll have to see.

One thing is for sure. Our financial condition is pristine. Other Serie A teams are walking insolvencies, particularly Roma. It is one of the worst financial statements I have ever seen, and that is with player sales!

I think we can this time. Our revenue grew again, our squad is well covered in each position so we wont have to sign many players this time. Also, what if Mascherano extended his contract but has a release clause now

Have you seen our financial statements? Ive read that James earns 7M gross in wages (not sure if true) and if Real would sell him for lets say 60M-70M, would you say he would be possible for us without selling a star player, and keeping in mind we still need to sign few players (ex. Nzonzi 30M, De Sciglio 20M, Bentancur 10M), according to the Information you have?

We disagree there, I think we're loaded and we'll pay up for a real upgrade as we did in the past.

As far as playing fit:

Khedira-Pjanić-Marchisio

James

Dybala-Higuain

+ Tolisso/Bakayoko or someone like that.

No reason this can't work, James has a huge work rate for an attacking player.

 

[Hydde]

Yeh, i think we will break the bank hardcore this summer and buy some top dudes...youll see.

james could be included on that list. Lets hope we are able to keep dybala at least one more year. If he thrives and enjoy our set up next year, then maybe we can convince him of staying.

As things are right now..we will practically end trading james for dybala.

 

[j0ker]

I like winger based formations, like the current one we are using so if James can't play as a winger then I'd rather go for Sanchez whom I rate higher anyway.

Where's Pjanic at?

He used to be a winger at Monaco if I remember correctly

Right back, he'll give us width and tactical flow there.

I heard Berardi was ready for Inter.
