If you want a back-up, develop Orsolini.
Ghezzal if he comes this will never be more than a substitute, his talent is too limited.

It is rather irregular, in 5 years with us it made a good season allowed by the tactical change last year (it can only play to the right) following the serious wound of Fekir.

It is technically good, good left foot, good dribbler, correct kick shooter, it is not fast, physically it is light. He has a dubious mentality, clearly he is doing nothing this year, being at the end of the contract I hope for him that he has already signed with a club because his level currently it is really bad.
:tup:

Thats a good explanation. Seems like hes not much versatile but could work as a backup RW. Problem is, we would want guys like Bernardeschi who cant cover multiple positions in attack so we can rotate the squad better, so we wouldnt go for him then.

About Orsolini, i can see him sticking around with the 1st team now that Pjaca is injured, and because he will count as a U21 (didnt turn 21 before the start of the calendar year) he wont take away any of the 25 spots in our squad, so he wont interfere with our other signings this summer. Hope he can use the chance and become a regular here

If max says he'll turn DS into a great player, why are we even doubting ?
Exactly. If Max wants him there is no reason to bitch about IT. Would love him here actually, always likes him

If de sciglio comes here he might be able to revive his career and perform like he does with italy.
If he stays at milan i see him turning into Santon v2.

However since Alves and Lichtsteiner are staying 1 more year i can see us going for Lirola as backup and buying one more RB.
Options include:
Hisaj 50m release clause :lol:
Semedo from benfica
Sidibe french Rb from monaco (superb this season)
Ricardo Periera from niche (overrated imo just because of nice good form)
Henrich from bayern levakusen is really good for 19 years old but i think bayern will get him to replace lahm
Zappacosta could develop with us but is he starting material?
Danilo from R.M, he hasn't impressed at RM but can he revive his career here?
J. Cancelo from valencia could be a good option but barca might be sniffing around for him.

Name me 3 RB players better than Hisaj? Exclude Alves who has at best 2 more seasons.

Balotelli? :howler: What year is this? 2012?! Ludicrous! Preposterous! Pathetic! :rofl:

I'd take Falcao as a Higuain backup; the guy still has it, and for a soon to be 32 year old, we can squeeze 2 seasons out of him. Apparently, he wants out of Monaco, and Fenerbahce are interested. I think we should intercept, if we are really looking for a Higuain backup.

I still think we should go for Tolisso and Morata. The Dream/Unrealistic Scenario would be Verratti + Sanchez.

De Scigilio is ok I guess. He's still only 24, so there's room for improvement. I'd rather him than that hack plying his trade @ Manure Cuntited.

Maybe earns a bit too much just for beeing Higuains backup, no?
Why the fuck is he willing to leave? Good salary, captain, 1st place, CL Semi Finals..? Besiktas ::lol3:::baus:

Darmian? Is he still alive? I am quite sure marotta & co could find somebody that would be not just a backup

About Orsolini he is still too young and too immature for the big step imho

Falcao is too expensive and frankly I would prefer that the club invest kojey on some youngster (eg Schick)

I really don't see us buying too many immediate first team members during the summer. There aren't too many players who we would potentially sell out of our current squad and there is no room in the first team without selling first. The only player that I'm sure will leave is De Ceglie but I think he needs to be replaced with a homegrown player.

Out: De Ceglie - In: Spinazzola (hopefully counts as a homegrown)
Out: Lemina - In: Tolisso

In: Bentancur (U21)
In: Orsolini (U21)

Looking at the squad size limits I think we need to trust some of the youngsters next season. Pre-season might give a better idea on that.
