He leads an unhealthy lifestyle in Paris. Smokes, parties hard, gets paid. He's living in a comfort zone in PSG. We missed the boat long time back and he's not the kind of guy I would sell one of our key players for to bring him here. Need to look at the newer and hungrier talents in Italy.

Pogba in his form is better than any midfielder in the world not just Verratti
Both are overrated but after watching both extensively, I think I'd rather Pogba tbh. Has a much higher ceiling too.

Real madrid starting XI that won the UCL compared to Juve.


GK: Navas < Buffon

CB: Ramos = Chiellini

CB: Verane > Benatia

RB: Carvajal >>>De Sciglio

LB: Marcelo > Alex sandro (but there is no improvement on alexsandro on the market)

CM: Modric = Pjanic

CM: Matuidi < Kroos

CM: Khedira < Casemiro

SS: Dybala < Ronaldo (but there is no improvement on dybala on the market)

AM/SS/Wings: Isco/Bale > Bernardeschi/D.Costa/Mandzukic

CF: Higuain >Benzema

Potential areas to improve are CB, RB, CMs, AM/SS


CB: With the addition of caldara and the further improvement of Rugani we are sorted in this category
RB: We need a better RB in this position. Spinazzola could do the job
CMs: If we add Emre Can thats a great step forward but it still far from matching someone like Kroos. Fabinho could be the answer close to our Casemino. Milenkovic Savic could be our star CM signing. a Midfield of M.Savic Pjanic Can could be closer to that madrid midfield.
AM/SS: Other than dybala, we don't have a world class attacker behind the number 9. Maybe Pjaca, Kean or Bernardeschi could develop to become that WC player.
The likes of Costa, Mandzukic, Cuadrado are good players but they won't improve further from what they are now.
Someone like Eriksen would be ideal.

How is Higuain better than Benzema when Real decided to stick with Benz? Playing the devil’s advocate plus I would rather have Benz.

And yeah, Modric is also better than Pjanic. Benatia is better than Varane imo.

When you have ronaldo at the end of the pitch its easy to say that. If pjanic was in a madrid shirt he would be classified as one of the top CM in the world.
Actually they are two different players. Modric doing everything on the pitch thanks to his talent. Comparing him with Iniesta would be more reasonable. maybe Xavi=Pjanic :shifty:
