I think we will downgrade only to realize that the talent or squad players we bring in transform our squad and we go really far next year in every competition. Costa to emerge as a top winger. We will fortifyour midfield and hopefully bring in some fullbacks as well. AS can go if he wants and the price is right. His shitty attitude is the reason for our policy that everyone hates. Only hurts the whole team now and in the future to keep a player that doesnt want to be here

AS by who? People love double standards: Has Asa a better season for his level? of course. Has AS a bad season for his level? of course. However that doesnt implies Asa has had a better season than AS like a lot of people is making out of nothing.

Asa is Inda or turkey league level player, AS is a potential top EPL team player so again, who would u bring to replace AS?
Thats beppes job. He need to figure it out.

All i know is that sandro is damaged goods at this point and the most intelligent thing would be to gain as much as we can from him, instead of keeping a player that doesnt want to be here and playing below his standards.

I have a feeling we'll downgrade this summer.
Dont know about downgrading but we will probably do what we always do.. Sell one player in order to get one in another department
I see our defense RB LB weakened but midfield stronger
as for CB it depends on Caldara and Rugani

Darmian is underwhelming at best... We would need a very strong MF to have any chance with Spina and Darmian as FB cuz we already know MDS is just average

Yeh. Thats why beppe needs to take his finger out of his ass and deliver like never before. Because the team needs it.

Calm down. Beppe will deliver like he always does. Plus I think with Berna and Costa on the rise in our team we will be a force next year. Sandro situation needs to be sorted out though. Midfield could be an easy fix if we just get Can. Yeas I would like another player as well but If we sell Sandro and get two capable backs and get Can I think we would be better than this year with very little money put in

Midfield easy fix with Can....

Youre being overly optimistic if not borderline delusional

Maybe I am. Not sure what you see happening. Year after year we stay competitive. We bring in players that make us younger and up our level. Yes we lose some good players but we have a very dynamic team and our needs seem very fixable and not very costly positions if done correctly. We have 2 great cbs,a great LB that will stay or bring in good money. Great attack and our midfield is ok and just needs one good player.
Bringing in Can and a rb isnt delusional. Actually I think its a very modest transfer market. Even for our standards.

What do you see happening in your doomsday scenario?

I don't see any doomsday scenario happening. Where in my post makes you feel that way ?

You just said midfield will be an 'easy fix' with Can. Like what makes you say that ? Coz he's free ?

Because dispit everyone saying we need 10 wc players in the middle I dont believe we actually do. We need balance and physicality there. I think having Can,Pjanic,Khedira,Matuidi there is good for us. Is it a world beater? No but I dont think we need that. We dont play a game where we dominate in possesion so I think we jsut need a Can type figure that can close down and clog the middle while also being good on the ball. Maybe you see differently but I could say you are dillusional for saying our Mids cant compete when they have the last 2 yeasr

This is where I disagree. The midfield has enough 'balance. It's lacking the technical quality and the energy. Can would solve the latter but not the former.

Having a midfield trio(in assumption) of Can-Pjanić-Matuidi is uninspiring to say the least. It is far from a top level midfield and this team is crying out for one.

Our midfield is shit and goes missing in big games. It lacks dynamism, pace, creativity, hustle, physicality, basically everything. I'd just play Bentancur tbh. Let the guy develop since the other options are hopeless anyway. Pjanic plays one game and disappears in 3. Khedira scores goals but is invisible and lacks dynamism 80% of the time. Matuidi is just a runner, and when he's lacking energy, he's absolutely useless.

I think we solvved nothing by getting Matuidi. Hes a good player but requires us to play 3 in the middle for him to be in. Khedira cant cover the ground for a two man midfield. If we want to keep Dybala or the 4-2-3-1 we need someone to play beside Pjanic to cover ground and be strong enough to take so defensive duties away from Dybala and the wingers. If we want to have a 3 man midfield maybe we need a player like Kovacic who can be a bit more dynamic. I just done see Dybala playing in a 4-3-3. If you believe that we need pressure off him by covering for him with Costa and Cuads on the wings. Maybe im insane to say its an "easy" fix but really I dont think we need some wc Kroos type player. Not to beat a dead horse but we need Vidal
