but remember last summer (and basically every summer before that), most the players we were linked to during the season we didnt sign, instead we got Alves (and almost Mascherano) out of the blue, paid Pjanic and Higuain clauses when everyone thought we wouldnt, so there is still a chance Silvas name will pop out sometime soon.
Thats true, but I heard Mourinho is very interested in him, and we all know by now, that Union will go full retard to get their man.

but its United, will Silva be shinny enough for them when they can get Griezmann, Carrasco, Mbappe and the likes? the only reason United is even linked to him imo is becasue hes portuguese, same as Mourinho (Andre Gomes last summer)

Bale and Sanchez is more or less the same age.

Sanchez would be the ideel improvement.

If we go for someone younger, there could be three possible choices in Italy. Bernadeshi, Andersson or Berardi. In France there is Fekir, Mbappe, Lemar or Bernardo Silva. In Germany there is Dembele, Brandt or Costa(if you consider 26 Young enough).
If I could pick I would have Dembele or Mbappe as my first option. Both fantastic players. Mbappe is more a SS/CF hybrid but in my opinion he could do really well as LWF in a trident.

Costa is a fantastic player, with blistering pace. Not as hard working as Mandzu or Sanchez, but still tracks back and help out in defense.
Yeah i guess Costa could be a very nice fit. Im' french and i can tell we can forget Fékir, since his injury he's not half the player he was. As for M'bappé and Dembélé or Silva they could be great even though only Silva is really a hard worker, but they're all jewels. For Bernadeshi and Andersson i didn't see them play enought. Are they really that good? I only saw some youtube vidéos about them. As far as i'm concern, Berardi can go to inter i don't want him here. I guess i'll mostly hope for M'bappé, Sanchez, Costa, Dembélé, in that order ^^

We need at least 2 wingers since we only have Cuadrado right now. Add Pjaca and make it 2 but Mandzukic should actually count as the vice-Higgy. So I'd love to see Keita + Bernardeschi/Sanchez/Costa/Berardi.

So two players with nothing but youth experience in clemenza kean and a pjaca who wont be fit half the season will be covering for four attacking positions? All so we can spend 40mil on a position we already have covered and 25mil on a FW who wont even be here...:howler: injuries up front and we will be lucky to finish 3rd

Thats a disservice to rakib using his name like that
What you are saying is the same for this season plus ifs and buts. It's what we have this season plus another expensive wing forward. We have seen virtually nothing of Pjaca or Kean yet, but you want to add two more forwards? Pjanic can also play in Dybala's position, but Clemenza is the best youth player I've seen for some time and we should retain him in the formation we currently use. He's very similar to Dybala in his positions and play between attack and midfield. Obviously a gamble but we have a CL list to consider also...Oh and Spinazzola is originally a winger, and he can play both sides...

Also as you can see, that is already a very expensive mercato even without adding another attacker.

    meelan lost a million[option to sign him up later] for Kolasinac. They told him to wait, he said ok, then ran to Arsenal with meelan's million. :lol:

    :tup:
    I havent watched Bernadeshi enough to form an opinion either. Anderson is a great talent in my opinion. Fast, dangerous in one on ones, hard worker, can play on both the right and left side. I have bashed Berardi for three years running now. He is an interesting talent, but I cant see him become a top player, and I wont be to bothered if he joins Inda.

    Are there any other interesting talents in the french league worth keeping an eye on? Seems to be a Golden french generation under way.

    From all the wingers Keita's name pops up more often, not sure if I want him.

    Do you guys rate him?

    Keita doesn't make sense, he's lazy as fuck. Sanchez is the dream, Bernardeschi would be very good and also F. Anderson I guess. Keita is only linked to us because of his problems with renewal at Lazio. He's been linked to Napoli and inter/milan a lot too. Looks like Lotito will cash on him that's why the rumors pop up so often.

    Why would he? Sanchez is at his best as SS or LW, not on the right.

    We can perfectly play Sanchez, Dybala, Cuadrado, but we would bench Pjanic as a result, cause its impossible to balance that out.

    Right now, thats exactly what mandzukic does, or why allegri puts sturaro there if mandzukic cant play

    Offcourse. I know what you are pointing at. Yes he has high offensive and defensive workrate, likes to aggressively press and covers sick amounts of ground.


    But he'd replace Quadsbaby, not Manbro.


    Mark my words.



    Him or Di Maria would be the two most wanted wing options for me.

    Zamparini told Napoli to get Nestorovski and said he is the new Higuain
    I doubt it (especially as he is 27) but.. should we get him as vice Higuain? (didnt watch him so I ask you)

    Dont understand why.. Sanchez is not as good as Mandzukic defensively as probably no other forward is as good as Mandzukic defensively but Sanchez is fast and he has some work rate in him so I wouldnt say Pjanic should be sacrificed in our lineup to balance it out
