But when do we ever play in a style that suits a fast striker?

Most times we play side to side, then backwards, then try some intricate play around the box. Especially as 90% of teams sit back against us, there really isn't space to play in behind.

Plus is Higuain that slow? He is heavy and not electric but seems to do well on counters and has shown a decent turn of pace.

Exactly, in scrappy matches you want solid and midfielders who can win the ball and then the few skilful players. Our organisation and off the ball movement doesn't help. In terms of skilful players who could have opened up space it seems like there was only one man who turned up today. Dybala was sadly underwhelming.

Did you buy your 3-Dio? :rock:

Tbh, if we receive a huge offer for Pjanic, I'd sell him. He's a great player on his day, but incredibly inconsistent.

Yeah, good player but not WC and inconsistent. If someone mistakes him for WC and offers good dough, sell him. Replaceable.

AS isn't.

The 3-Dio is a little too special

I got the Zoom.

Same could be said about Dybala, would you sell him too?

Dybala can be inconsistent, but we saw what he could do with a moment of magic, and he's a striker. He's also far more marketable and should not be sold (unless someone offers Neymar money I suppose).

Tbh, if we receive a huge offer for Pjanic, I'd sell him. He's a great player on his day, but incredibly inconsistent. I'd sell Pjanic for 90-100 million, Sandro for 70, and rebuild with youngsters, Martial, Fabinho, Can, Caldara, and Spinazolla.

No one is going to pay 90 odd million for Pjanic
Half of that would be stretching it.

Honestly though, I personally don't know anyone who rates him. Besides Juve fans, obviously.

 

[pavluska]

Don't want to point the finger at just Pjanic b/c it was a collective shit show with players already thinking about the break thinking job done after tough fixtures and easy opponent (and OK, a few were fatigued), but for a top team trying to win the CL, it's amazing that we don't have a single WC midfielder.

 

[Abdo Alzahaby]

we need a complete revolution in our midfield .. even we would sell Pjanic and make it Emre _ Fabinho ( N'zonzi ) - Savic ( Eriksen )

 

[Mark]

Beppe didn't deny the Wilshire rumours.

Said Can is our #1 target but if it's not happening then they'll look elsewhere.

The things Grani and Foletti could do to him

just look towards him...

 

[zizinho]

Why can't we keep Costa as main LW and have Pjaca as back up?
We need to spend on midfield and L/R backs

Cuz DC is a RW

Oxlade-Chamberlain and Drinkwater went for 40 million. We could easily get 70-80 million for Pjanic. 90 might be stretching it.

If we let Pjanic go for 45 million in this market, then we’d be biggest laughing stock in Europe.

 

[abrakadaver07]

People actually suggesting we sell Alex Sandro and Pjanic.

 

[Akshen]

With out any sales I would be happy with inclusion of:
Emre Can
Darmian
Spinazzola

If we decide to sell one of wingers (Cuads, Pjaca?) We should go for Martial.
If we sell Sandro then someone better than Darmian/Spinazzola is needed. No idea who could that be.

But really i cant see how we could upgrade this team, the only way is getting 100m caliber player, possibly for MF but we know we wont do it.

 

[Bianconero81]

Really? Can, Darmian and Spinazolla?! That's a 5/10 mercato. Darmian is shit, Spina is a work in progress, and Can alone is nowhere near enough for our dog poop midfield.

He'll turn 28 later this year. Doesnt have age on his side. Only Chinese teams would cough up offers in the excess of 50-60M for Pjanic especially if we take his current form into account.

I prefer to have low expectations, no disappointments.
