No. Cuads is a workhorse beast of a winger, Costa is just doing his tactical duties

That myth that Cuads didn't help out in defense/didn't have a high defensive workrate

zero CM improvement except depth
FB problem unsolved

nice, you managed to solve zero out of 2 essential problems while stacking luxury players in attack

The guy played RB for Lecce and RWB for Fiorentina. Conte wanted him, Mourinho bought him, both for a reason. People should realize players hed careers before coming here

Ability wise, PP>SMS, and it's not even close. And this from one of the SMS fanboys from last season before he became the next big thing

The thing is, ability means jackdoggy poo if your head is in lalaLandia and do not get into business. WHich is what i wanted to mean.

Prime examples being players like Cassano and Balotelli.. one wasting his career and the other losing big part of it...all of that for not having his head straight.

Pogba is on his way of wasting all that talent..and he started the moment he went to ManU and started to get very bad havits and antics...like being more worried about his hype and social media success instead of playing football. his career has taken a nosedive since.

 

[Hist]

I'm just commenting from what I've seen specifically with Cuadrado & Giovinco. I'm just saying that its worth being cautious with players who play wing positions or rely heavily on using their pace. Obviously, it isn't the case with all players.

There are obviously exceptions - Ronaldo trains harder than most players in the world, plus he is a top 2 player in the world. There are several examples of players being good into their 30s obviously, but it depends on the player.
If I'm buying a 27 year old player whose game is highly reliant on speed for $100MM, well I think that could be risky.

If you're buying a player with other characteristics, that doesn't apply - Totti for example was a beast at 30.

Exceptions: Pirlo, Totti, Del Piero, Ronaldo, Inzaghi, Iniesta, Xavi, De Rossi, Yaya Toure, Klose, Luca Toni....obviously there are tons of examples, and actually I believe players like Higuain will stay effective into their early 30s.

Examples: Sturridge, Kaka, Michael Owen, Lavezzi, Camoranesi, Zambrotta....those guys were arguably useless by 32.

Obviously, you just have to assess on a player by player basis - and if you're spending big, it's something worth considering for sure.

Martial + Cavani IN
Dybala + Higuain OUT

Martial + Cavani IN
Dybala + Higuain OUT

You know, i really do think Dybala and Higuain are really not meant for eachother, but i dont want to see them both go. Id rather we keep Dybala

 

[AndreaCristiano]

Martial + Cavani IN
Dybala + Higuain OUT

No way and no thank you. Martial over rated cavani not better than higuain so what’s the point

 

[Mark]

I've seen enough of them. It's time for a change. Nothing in the CL, nothing in games we should finish opponents off...

GREAT IDEA.

 

[alex_samatar]

Imagine Pogba having a conversation with some of United players saying how he missed Juventus, the good atmosphere of the dressing room, the food, how the fans love the players no matter what, that the girls are more beautiful than the British women and then Martial stands up put some emotion in his eyes and yell it is time that we go to Juve and leave this raining City one by one.

Needs change. Elkann thinks this is the best Juve of all time though

Elkann knows about counting money, not about football.

Agree if allegri stays he doesnt know how to make it with dybala so one or the other.

clearly Dybala and Allegri doesn't work

Y'all asking to sell players because your double x chromosome is itching and then wonder why the team doesn't gel

 

[Xperd]

Allegri is able to make Dybala work but not Dybala-Higuain as a partnership

Maybe it's a clash of styles between both players that they havent been able to form a working partnership or maybe both together is not suited to the team's tactics/style of play.

 

[lgorTudor]

Dybala-Higuain partnership never was gonna to work out in any formation we were shaping up to play, this is why Pogba-Higuain swap was retarded to begin with

Pragmatically speaking Higuain is worth peanuts on the market so the losses of his sale exceed the benefits and Dybala is simply our best and most talented player, so if Beppe decides to sell him he HAS to be replaced by another rocket (midfield preferrably)
