The same source that told me the about the return of Bonucci to Juventus on 10 July, tells me today that by 15 August Pjanic will be sold and Milinkovic Savic will arrive in his place.

I can understand the move. When Can arrived didn't the papers say that we promised him a deep lying playmaker role(pjanic position)?
If the move materializes we will have
Can
Sms Matuidi(Khedira)

Which in my opinion is not bad at all.

Who would you rather sell that would cover the cost of SMS?
I'm confused about this summers transfers, so I wouldn't be surprised that we would do another big transfer without selling a big player.

But if this is not possible and some valued player has to leave (Sandro, Pjanic.....) to afford SMS, I wouldn't buy SMS.

If it's Pogba, I'd consider to think about selling someone. :snoop:

PL window closes on August 9th so if he's saying he'll be sold by 15th, that means he has only one , possibly two options : PSG and Barcelona

If we give any credence to that report that is

Pjanic is 28, if he wants a move this is the last opportunity for him. Next year none will want to pay more than 50m for 29 years old CM.
We sold Higuain for big money and he's almost 31.

Pjanic is 28! He has at least 4 more seasons at a top level. He's got everything plus the experience. Despite the Sergej's arrival we'd be weaker as we'd lack tons of creativity that Pjanic provides.

we have enough creative midfielders, I don't want Pjanic to be sold but I think with Bonucci in the team, having SMS in place of Pjanic would make the team more balanced, but that's just me, I am an idiot
Yeah sell your only creative midfielder because we have a CB who rapes the whole team with constant long balls thinking that he is some Pirlo of CB's

My problem with SMS is he got owned by Khedira in our last game and he looked pretty bad during the WC

I get he was played out of position at the WC, but he didnt show any grinta either

We could be going for a faster/direct build up play with cr7 in the team.

4-4-2 double pivot.

Cancelo - bonucci - Chiellini - Sandro

Cuadrado - Can - Savic - Costa

Dybala - Ronaldo

I think Sandro stays, he's a crucial part of them team and already has only half a backup in de Sciglio who's also supposed to be covering RB and is injured a lot. Pjanič should stay too, if Barca get Vidal I don't see them needing another CM and I don't see anyone else out there who realistically would give us crazy money for the Bosnian.

I agree we shouldnt sell him, just sayin that if he really wants a move this mercato might be the best for him, since he is still relatively young.
SMS is slow and doesnt work in defense, we are better with Pjanic imo.

PSG? Man City? Chelsea?

Chelsea still havent signed anyone after all this negotiating and their fans are getting angtsy

I see your point and I agree with it in principle, but I don't know about this part. He's not that good. He provides some flair and creativity for us, but not tons.
