Summer mercato thread 2017-18 (23 Viewers)

Would Cuadrado stay if we land Keita? 8 forwards seems quite a lot unless we are 100% sticking with the 4231 which we may not.

We're going to stick with 4-2-3-1. We have nowhere near enough depth in midfield to change the formation, and we're definitely not going to change it to accommodate some ageing French oaf.

Modric is already 32 years old. Ronaldo is almost 33. Though Ronaldo is 33, Ronaldo is very important for them for marketing. He will stay as much as he wants, maybe until he is 41. Also they won't find a team who will be willing to play 50 m euros for over 33 years old Ronaldo.

Asensio is very talented yet 100 m euros is way too much for him.

at Real, he plays with great players and he is a great shooter, he can sometimes score great long range goals. yet, l watched him with Spanish U21, was not more impresive than Berna.

Ronaldo is 32 and Modric is 31.

Schick to Inter Vidal to Milan

Matuidi to Juve

- - - Updated - - -

Really, our mercato has been underwhelming. I expected more/better from a CL finalist, 2 time CL finalist over the past 3 years.

Mautidi is the best option for us after Strootman and Milinko Savic. PSG is willing to sell him just because he will be a back up and wants high wages for a back up.

Vidal to Milan? it's impossible. BM won't sell him. Milan only can dream. Next year he will be 31 and he wants last big contract. if BM can sign Keita, they can let him go next summer.

we gave up on Schick. so l don't care where he will go.

9 september modric will finish his 32th.

Ronaldo is 32.5.

After Strootman, SMS, Nzonzi, Danilo Periera, and possibly William Carvalho who's apparently already a West Ham player

My bad, I didn't read your post with much attention

we won't pay 60 m euros for a destroyer.

 

[littlePrince]

if we want reach to kiev we must solve our problems with quality players... we need RB,CB and CM/DM
Spinazzola and matuidi can improve us? or solve our problems? we have 15 days and if we want reach to kiev we need to choice best and spend money

 

[Salvo]

Cancelo said yes to Inter and they are in pole position to sign him.
Schick close to Inter. Samp looking to buy Luciano Vietto.

According to rumors in Chile Milan is going to bid high for Vidal.

Schick story doesnt make sense to me, all of a sudden they are looking for a replacement? They sold him to us a month ago. I think he will stay another year.

 

[JCK]

Wait what? Vidal to Milan? Is this true?

 

[Wittl]

Schick to Inter

My heart is broken.

What a turncoat!

 

[Robee]

We're going to stick with 4-2-3-1. We have nowhere near enough depth in midfield to change the formation, and we're definitely not going to change it to accommodate some ageing French oaf.

No depth enough; Pjanic, Khedira, Marchisio, Betancur, Matuidi, Sturaro. 6 players for 3 spots not enough for you?

We won't change to accomodate anyone. IF we change, it'll be because our midfield is to shabby as it is now.

 

[Don2]

Agreed. Guy wins 73% of his aerial duels, average

I don't know if this is irony. But he only make 40 aerial duels, and he lost 11 of them. Iborra his partner in Sevilla midfield make 90 aerial duels and I think he isn't near N'Zonzi's height

Matuidi is meh, Khedira is too static, Sturaro is garbage, and Bentancur lacks experience. Our only two reliable mids are Pjanic and Marchisio (form permitting). We might have enough bodies, but some of them are nowhere near good enough to actually be playing for us.

Maybe not this year, but next year, we have to go all out revamping that midfield. Our attack is set, and I don't think we need to make many changes in defense, especially with Caldara coming in; a few minor tweaks should do it.

 

[Adrian]

Vidal to milan is BS.

As for us, clearly Marchisio fit and in form will partner pjanic which isnt such a bad midfield duo...in fact it is a dam food one. Having matuidi khedira and bentancur on bench is too bad for depth plus if allegri needs to revert to a 3 man midfield then we have players for that option.

Cuadrado may be important if by some chance allegri reverts to a back 3 and needs a player who take the whole right side. If allegri nevers wants a back 3 ever again then sell him. Personally selling him and bringing in keita is a great idea.

Spinnazola will fight DS for that right back spot. There is no one else available.

Buffon
DS rugani chiellini sandro
Marchisio Pjanic
Berna dybala costa
Higuain

Yes mandzukic on bench...why? Costa is the better choice in that role and he and higuain can rotate amd stay fresh. Pjaca mandzukic and cuadrado or keita to rotate with the front 4.

Lots of depth...remember real and barca have dominated because of fire power and depth...they just had spild defences at best.

 

[NitK]

He has on the national team. Not only that, he played next to Rugani. It's not a lot of experience, but he wouldn't be starting from scratch.

Also with Rugani and Caldara in the U21 team I believe.

That's the definition of depth 'though. Quality is something else, which you're also downgrading out of proportion. Khedira, Matuidi and from what I've seen Betancur are quality players.

But the next mercato should definitely focus on midfield, for sure. It is indeed our weakest area. Still not all that awful 'though.

 

[Catenaccio]

There are not too many quality mids around though to be fair. Sometimes you just can't get what is simply not available. None of the ones we have been linked to, scream quality - even the ones we missed.

Relax dude. Vidal to Milan is not happening.



Matuidi is far from what I've wished for but we could do worse here. Right now Allegri has to figure out how to find balance we've been missing.

Rumors about Max switching to 433 for Cagliari. Good thing is true IMO.

Probable formation:

Douglas Costa - Higuain - Dybala
Khedira - Marchisio - Pjanic
AS - Chiellini - Rugani - DS
Buffon
​

In a couple of weeks Spinazzola would replace DS, while Matuidi would replace Khedira. At least that's what the media say.

I want 433 just to see people crying about "Dybala can't play on the wing"

Damn, that was my first instinct after the last match and what I've been saying now

3 man midfield is where we need to find the right balance to get our defense back in order.

And I'm willing to bed Dybala from out wide with that area of the pitch would suit him more than where he is now and having to drop back to get the ball.

You would think but honestly everytime he has been used wide he impressed me less compared to his central role
