Keita balde is coming. Fits the profile. More realistic than Costa or Sanchez. Doesn't necessarily need to be a full time starter. Affordable wage. Young, up and coming. Taking from another Italian club. It all lines up.

A summer of Keita Balde, Tolisso, and De Sciglio? Oh yes. Also would love to buy low on Perin.
It's ok, but we can do better. Nothing to get excited about. Where is Schik?

James is much better than Lemar. Plus he is an idol in colombia and has a international image which will improve our image as a club.
James is very efficient - I dont think Real understand it - He scores or assist every game!
As for Lemar - he is a great talent and I`d be happy with either of them...
I wonder what Monaco will look like in the summer - So many great players - Lemar Silva Mbappe Bakayoko Fabinho

I'm James biggest fan!
I wasn't suggesting Lemar instead of James!

I was suggesting Lamar + Fabinho instead of Tolisso, Schick, and De Sciglio!

James was never up for debate. I'd sell my first born if we signed him!

Indeed, and it's not just rumours Btw. How he handled contract negotiations and way he tried to force his way out of Lazio has been disastrously unprofessional.


Latest article even says he left Barca Academy because he found the rules to be too strict. Joining Juve with that attitude will be less then ideal.

Meh, Tevez had attitude problems before he got to juve as well, and he wasn't a young guy like Keita Balde, where it could just be a matter of growing up. Juve has a great locker room and culture, with probably the best leader the sport has ever seen in Buffon. juve would make a man out of him, and if they don't, nobody else will either.

We need top class quality and technique coming from the bench. Not just normal depth. IN this regard, we need to follow real madrid's footsteps and try to sign some world beaters for the bench or at least one, because good is not enough.

Having someone like James coming from the bench replacing one of our starters in a tight and tiresome game is priceless. Sign Schick for the future.
Then sign someone who can be Mandzukic understudy but who also can play on the right when Cuadrado and Alves is not available. Morata could be a good asset because he can play CF too.

If Pjaca returns on time..we would be able to have Pjaca morata and James ready to come in and switch formations as needed...or simply rest players like mandz and Higuain and even dybala...with proper rotation.

Ideally yes, but in reality we don't have the money for luxury bench, maybe if our revenue grow another 50-100 million minimum WITHOUT sale/cl money.

Hopefully winning cl will do that, at very least we could demand better sponsorship money,but in this case better mean at least 2x in the minimum.

My wish is sanchez, tolisso/fabinho, backup versalite offensive player, backup rotation fullback.

I would call them "bench", because in reality my wish is that they give a run for their money to all starters and have real competition, forcing players to give their best.

Anyways..in one way or another, we are desperate. But lets hope that what we have will guide us to CL glory this season

Ah cool i get you.

Lemar was crap against us today. Berardo Silva though :beppe:
Well yeah Silva did play a good game - very interesting player...

It's bernardo silva, however there is no position for him to play here unless we bench dybala.
Disagree - He could easily play in Cuad`s position and he probably can fill the LW position although not sure if in the same way he does RW and AM
He would cost a lot!

Up to 60M I`d say get him - more than that I`d pass..
As for Mbappe - this guy is gold - If there is a way we should get him! I always thought he is this good because he met easy opponents (BD,MC and their group was quite easy as well..) but after seeing how he dribbles against our defenders and how he uses his pace to try to get the ball behind the defenders I think he would be perfect
I can easily see him playing the Mandzukic role (forward who plays a winger - He can cause trouble and even score lots of goals as he is 10 times more clinical than Mandzukic...)

too late for that. Mbappe will be a superstar and we would need to sell higuain or somethjing to afford his price (100mils euros or more)

Yes. Only thing we can do is start hating him and hope he fails wherever he goes after Monaco.

You are probably right even if he can cover 2 places LW and CF..
CF I dont know if you notice but we dont have any sub...
LW we dont have anyone now that Pjaca is injured
RW we can use Alves when Cuad is out or when we need to make a tactical decision...
CM we need someone who can provide what Khedira does and even add more
RB honestly we are good for now but we will have to get someone soon as Barzagli is 100 years old Alves is 99 and Licht is 70..

Weird comment from you, since i have been crying from some motnhs now that the only thing stopping us from stomping the world is our lack of depth in attacking positions.


i would love mbape here...he seems to be the kind of striker who will conquer the world in the years to come..... but we have dire need of quality depth in attack.. that busting all our money on him would maybe put us in a weaker situation than doing 2 or 3 great buys with the same money.

Its true although we need some strength in central midfield as well
Wingers are a must for this summer while a sub attacker is also a must since we have none (unless we get Kean to do it..)

Honestly If I could pick a player I`d pick Neymar but its not going to happen so Mbappe - he is too costly so also not going to happen so the best option left is Sanchez!

Looking at the highlights of Lyon-Ajax, I was not really impressed by Tolisso. Can somebody who watched the full match comment on his performance?


I would hate for us to spend 40m to get a slightly more technical Rincon.
