Portugal
Netherlands
Spain
Belgium
Poland
Croacia
Russia

:p
Buffon
Meunier Smalling Ramos Kombarov
Khedira Modric Pogba
Robben Lewandowski Ronaldo

probably could have done better than that :p, maybe Carvajal, Nainggolan, Varane instead of Meunier, Pogba, Ramos. or Radja instead of Sami and add a Lahm to the defense

One does not simply bench Mandzu and Cuadrado.
Well this is assuming we want to have another system to play. more than this, is that whats the point of bringing iniesta if you are planning to use him on a very different formation just from time to time.

Bernardeschi can play LW, CAM, RW, SS so he would be first sub to any one of Mandzukic, Dybala and Cuadrado. Makes so much sense to go for him.
James would apply to this too, but he is way more proven..hence, expensier

Cuadrado is literally on the bench now.
Yeh, is not like he is a must starter in our formation. If we can get someone with better endproduct, he will not smell the first 11 again. Mark my words.

Costa joined 2015. He was Pep player first season. And he only scored 4 goals in the league. Same this year. Even though number wise plenty of games. 50 apps in 2 Bundesliga seasons. 8 goals in total. You might now say, well they have Lewandowski for goals. Robben got 13 league goals this season. And he isnt even playing all the time cause of injury problems. Costa played 50 apps, Robben 41 in the last 2 seasons and got 17 goals.

There simply isnt enough end product with Costa. Also you say he isnt Ancelotti player, but Alexis is going to play same position by the looks of it. So Alexis is and Costa isnt?

I have to ask, how you define which player is manager x and which is manager y type player.
Costa had 18 assists and 7 goals last season, the numbers are 7 goals and 9 assists this year as mainly a sub. I dont know if you consider that as a no end product player?
Whats more he was simply unplayable in the CL games.

I think a lot of his problems this year is down to his contract disputes. Seems like a player who dont feel appreciated, and therefore does not perform at his best. For 35-40m its a no brainer. He would tear Seria A apart.

I have a feeling we will be spending big again this summer.

For the 4231, who would you guys rather have for the left AM? Sanchez/Di Maria/Costa?


discuzzzzzzzzz plz
Why is Costa even listed there? He's two levels below both Di Maria and Sanchez. Sanchez is the best of the lot, without a shadow of a doubt. Sadly, it seems he's set for Bayern.

Schick (leave him on loan until 2018), Keita Balde, Fabinho, and Conti :donedeal: Sadly, we probably won't get Conti and settle for that mediocre player in Di Sciglio, and no Fabinho either. It's gonna be Tolisso or Paredes I guess.

Caldara to join us in the summer of 2018, along with Savo Milinkovic Savic :donedeal:

Juventus is expected to make a new contacts with the agent of Schick in the next 48 hours. (Di Marzio)

Sky journalist Paolo Assogna: "Schick prefers to join Juventus. Nedved has played an important role in convincing the player."
