Marchisio
Pjanic
Khedira
Sturaro
Bentancur

That's not a even the 4th best centrocampo in Serie A. Rotate in CL n Coppa Italia, suspensions, injuries- we need at least two quality signings.

Oh please. Name 3 better midfields in Serie A. There's one. Roma. And they have no real depth either.

Napoli's mid isn't better than this. Nor is Milan's. Nor is Inter's.

Not that it matters. It's CL that matters, and this mid isn't good enough for there. But that doesn't mean you have to make shit up.

Bro, Emre Can to do this for us in 90th minute of 0-0 deadlocked CL final against Bayern on perfect long ball from Douglas Costa.



However, Vidal scores tying goal in 7th minute injury time, then Coman scores winner in ET, both assisted by Tolisso. Muller scores 2 in last minutes of extra time to rub salt in wound. 4-1 loss to Bayern. Dai, Igor, and Wittl group suicide.

@Fr3sh
:disagree: Would't be the worst case. I don't hate Bayern so much like the two germans. Would be much worse to lose like this to a mediocreteam like BVB or Arsenal. Nevermind losing a final like this would cause group suicide no matter against whom.

CL-Final 2018 anyway will be the last one for @DAiDEViL and me. :depressed

Vidal is also a box-to-box so he wouldn't even be the ideal player to add to this squad. Very few quality DM's out there. Kante last season or Matic this season were about the only ones to actually move. N'Zonzi or Can would definitely be ok in that perspective.

Not making $#*¥ up. THAT IS WHO WE HAVE. Now, Marchisio n Pjanic are the two with quality and experience. Bentancur is definitely an excellent prospect. Sturaro n Khedira we can do without.

Upfront, Juve is very strong. However, the midfield personnel needs major reinforcements. Two top centrocampisti should be the target to compete and beat the best in Europe.

Of course that's who we have. Saying it's not even 4th best in Serie A is making shit up. That's nonsense.

I'd like to know what the fuck Marotta does from the end of July to the end of august because this is at least the third year in a row where we haven't bought anybody. Just wasting time until we panic buy another Hernanes on august 31st. Can't wait.

I still can't believe we haven't addressed the midfield. Our top priority. Fantastic.

We got better in attack. Yes.

In defense we lost Bonucci and Dani Alves and haven't added anyone.

In the midfield we've added Bentancur who should be fine and an upgrade over Lemina and Rincon, but we still haven't added anyone reliable.

Probably going to get mocked but $#@! Kovacic I want Strootman
You shouldn't, strootman is awesome. I don't know how anyone can even compare kovacic and strootman. They play different roles. We should try and get both. We have the money. Pretty sure we have more money coming in than going out at this point.

Mangala was offered to us on a loan. - Tuttosport

More Spinazzola links, we want him back.
Id take Mangala but only with an option. If we teach him the art then he can go back to being a beast like his porto days. I would still choose Rugani ahead of him but he could turn out to be a decent backup.

Valencia had him last season with an option of $20m. I'd say lets get him with an option of $10m.

Of the 4 we are linked with, id prefer them in the following order.

Nzonzi
Can
Strootman
Matuidi

Of course i seriously hope theres an even better option in kovacic or someone else.

We only field 2 CMs. We have 5+Asamoah at the moment and you want 2 more top CMs? Okaaaay.

Besides... Saying "we could do without Khedira" who was our starter and led us to a UCL final is silly.

It's funny how his price dropped. City bought him for what, 40mln quids?

Can over Strootman? Please explain.

For me it's a toss up between nzonzi and strootman.
He may have had an injury free season but im still sceptic over his condition. With a big price tag, its a risk. Can is young and has been the revelation in EPL, hard working someone we can leave in a fixed position to do the running around. He will have a good resale value if it didnt work out.

In the end I think we will end up getting either Strootman or Matuidi. We'd happily pay up for a proven serie A mid, while Matuidi will meet our budget, hes always been our backup choice. I dont see Liverpool letting Can go. Apparently he himself hasnt shown any intent of wanting out but shown the opposite. He has spoke about the enthusiasm of Liverpools season ahead etc.

Also Fabrizio Romano said the following: Liverpool confirmed to Juventus they DON'T want to sell Emre Can. Klopp is so confident about contract extension

Seriously, Strootman is too prone of a player to be playing week in week out, he will probably miss of the season.. Can and Nzonzi for me, I would love to get Kovacic, but it is just not the right time, and not exactly the player we need..
