Some papers have some real pearls..
Calciomercato: Juve bye bye Pjanic - Pjanic to Real with Kroos to Juve or PSG
Pogba might come back

Sounds like pure BS

^ Darmian and great player in one sentence :touched: @Bianconero81

- - - Updated - - -

Solid, as Hist said, is more like it.

Not sure about the Barzagli comparison though. Barza has always been a good player.
It's Hydde dude. That education system in Panama sure brainwashes people :D

Darmian a great player?! :howler:

Losing Asamoah for Darmian is a downgrade in my book. We lose a solid player and pay money to get someone inferior :touched:

Few months ago you were all crying for us to sell Asamoah now you all recognize he has a value..
Darmian - I expect him to be Asamoah like - maybe a bit behind but dont expect the Man Utd performance...

- - - Updated - - -

you are right. We were all wanting him here before he went to ManU, so for sure he is still the ame great player but is has been poisoned by that team
The truth is probably somewhere in the middle
He is probably not as bad as Man Utd turn him to be but I wouldnt call him great until he proves it..

I'd be happy if we got this 4 players....
Milinkovic-Savic or Pogba, Sidibè, Barella and Pellegrini.
With the loans coming back such as Caldara and Spinazzola.
While keeping everyone...
Saying goodbye to Buffon,Barzagli (I know he renewd for a year),Asamoah,Lichsteiner,Khedira,Sturaro,Mandzukic and Pjaca to cover our mercato

Too much?

With DeS, Spazzolino and Darmian we're gonna have 3 mediocre players that can play LB & RB. #Depth :beppe:

He is doing bad for United cause in PL rb/lb are added wingers which are supposed be attacking players.
Basically someone like Davi Alves. Being a RB only in name... while in fact being another winger.
Darmian isn't that bad but he is another defending RB like De Sciglio.
We already have one and it's more than enough.
But while De Sciglio is 25 Darmian is 28. While getting another copy of De Sciglio?

Looks like Asabob to inter is a done deal

and even though i hate the fact that its merda, he's getting a great salary off of them for his last contract, so I'm just gonna view it as win for double agent asabob
When you think about it, it’s quite funny that we have so many players who are typically on our bench who would improve their team.

Asamoah, Lichtsteiner, Marchisio, Bentancur, Bernardeschi.

I see that people are still dreaming in this thread. :D

People still don't realize how little we spend unless we sell big.

There's no reason to even mention expensive players while keeping Sandro and Dybala in the team.

Oh my, not that LW/RW discussion again :sergio:

- - - Updated - - -

what has Dybala to do with this? and DC is our best winger, and his best position is RW/RM, it would be stupid to play him elsewhere if we dont have to
He does have a point though. We have Cuads and Berna on the right, so Costa (who can play on both sides) is the one to most likely end up on the left if everyone is fit.

Doesn't mean he's better there, cause imo he clearly isn't, it's just to fit everyone in.

yeah, lot of it depends on the personel, but imo Costa as our best winger should be played in his best position, then you arrange your other options accordingly (currently thats Dybala-Higgy upfront, DC as a RM-RW and Matuidi as a CM-LM). Cuads is a beast but lets see how he looks after the injury 1st, he might leave in a year or even sooner, and we will probably look to sign some LWs (Pjaca return, Martial links).+ Berna can get minutes from Dybala as well. i dont think hes yet to be a starter, he will slowly take over from DC and become a full fledged starter once the Brazilian leaves

but above all, hopefully Mandzukic can return to last seasons form, then this wouldnt even be a discussion

Won't happen. He is a CF and that's it. He can be a great backup to Higuain next season
