Quick question, related to a rumor I saw earlier today:
AlexSandro to United in exchange for A.Martial and Darmian. Would you do it, why, why not, discuss?
- - - Updated - - -
Business wise its a good deal as we clearly want Darmian and would probably get him either way..
A.Martial - While Im not a big fan of his - he does has a great potential and an ability to either be important for us or be a potential over 100M player..
A.Sandro probably wants out so we will sell him either way
On a personal note - No I wouldnt want it to happen as I rather take the money and splash it on SMS
Darmian wouldnt cost 100M so we could get him no matter the amount of budget we have..
I really think if you want to be the best you need to work with the best and SMS is the best (along with Pogba) and he wouldnt ask for a 15M wage..
I think its time we stop wasting our time with getting good players and start working to get great ones
We could buy other players and be competitive - might even get to another final in the future but if we want to increase our chances of getting there and increase our reputation+attraction and might even win it in the end we need to change face and be like Real and Barcelona
How do we get their money?! Well getting their money isnt really possible without outside interference but we can do some things:
WC players cost more but also sell more merchandise like shirts
We dont have to spend exactly like Barca and Real - We can do it in a smaller way like getting one player worth 80M-100M while selling dead wood and sign some impressive youngsters and loan them out like we do
Despite the 3-0 loss to Real and even if we lose like this again we are not a bad team - They are excellent and we miss some important players in order to be like them
Next year before purchases and sales our lineup could be
Polak;A.Sandro Chiellini/Caldara Benatia/Rugani MDS; Khedira Matuidi Pjanic; D.Costa Dybala; Higuain
Until proven other Polak is good enough
A.Sandro Chiellini Benatia Pjanic D.Costa Dybala and even Higuain are good enough (despite having something to say about Higuain)
Khedira has some on and off but a top club like Juve must have better and the same goes for Matuidi (even if I like the little bastard...)
Can on a free could give us a boost as he could be rotation or allow us to sell him or another player in order to get some money
MDS - The thing about him is that he isnt exactly useless as I think he is improving each day but since he isnt exactly a top player and wouldnt be in a year or two we must work on this position
I dont want to get into in... and out... thing again so I`ll just say there are options to change and get better - an example for that is selling Mandzukic to China and getting Balotelli for free
Getting Mandragora and selling Sturaro
Getting Spinazzola is a free option to the departures of Asamoah and maybe even Licht (not getting into the A.Sandro saga)
We also have Pjaca who could be sold or given a chance (I hope we realize he isnt going to be a top player and sell him but we could fetch a lot from him so we shouldnt hurry doing so..)
Kean could be another option even if I guess he will be loaned out again..
Orsolini does anyone remember this guy?! Juventus cant use him as he is not at the level we want but we can sell him on...
Cerri - How is he doing? Should we sell?
