is Pastore leaving PSG? @Dujj @Raphael @Fred
Fuck that piece of shit. Mental midget extraordinaire. The fact that @Fr3sh rates him tells you all you need to know.

Martial please :donedeal:

Martial please :donedeal:
Came on for 20 minutes in the FA Cup final and displayed nothing other than horrendous crossing.

Not saying I'm judging him based on 20 minutes of football though.

Or am I? :allegri:

If I judged Higuain by the numbers of sitters he misses, how often he loses the ball, or frequency of disappearance in big games, I'd probably have the wrong impression of him, or would I? :p

Martial just needs a change of scenery, and a professional environment to thrive in. We need to revamp and rejuvenate sooner rather than later. Mandzukic and, to a lesser extent, Higuain will need replacing soon. Pjaca might be a bust (I'm willing to give him a full season before passing judgement), and who knows how fit Berna can stay over the course of an entire season. We're left with Dybala and Costa as the only certainties in attack, especially if the Cuads experiment @ RB continues. Martial and Barrow and we are set for the future :D

Wendell/Spina - Chiellini/Caldara - Benatia/Rugani - Arias/MDS
Szczesny/Pinsoglio​

I want Martial, but I want SMS more because we need a CM more than a forward. I also don’t think that we will be able to afford both.

Today Marotta basically confirmed Can and Allegri said Pjaca will come back.

Caldara
Spinazzola
Can
Pjaca

Very good start of Mercato.
Departures:
Confirmed;
Buffon, Asamoah, Licht (starter keeper, sub LB, starter RB)
Likely;
Howedes, Khedira, Sandro, Marchisio, Mandzu (sub CB, starter CM, starter LB, sub CM, starter LW)
Also consider that Barzagli will rarely play next year and Spina will lose the first half of the year.

So ATM it looks like we are replacing Buffon, Barzagli, Sandro, Licht, Khedira, Mandzu and possibly Marchisio with
Pierin, Caldara, Spina, Darmian, Can, Pjaca and possibly Pellegrini or Bonaventura.
He had downgrades before, but this one looks quite grim...

You know that we can't compete in biding wars with the wealthiest EPL teams.
Mourinho has specifically asked for SMS and Pep for Wendell, we were only mentioned to chase Wendell, only after Inter declared interested and when this happens we rarely get those targets.
SMS hasn't been mentioned in ages, i d like to think that the Martial option still goes though, 50mil well spent, but we seem to favor quantity over quality and overrated mediocre Italians

Stop this Verratti links
1. He wont be sold by PSG
2. He will cost more than we would probably be willing to pay
3. He is injured quite a lot so he wont be worth the investment
4. He wont solve our problems although he will improve our passing % which is something we need to address
5. For his price we should go for Pogba/SMS who will offer us more as they are also physical

Dont get me wrong I like Verratti like you do but if you look at this as an investment then to invest 100M on a player that doesnt add the physique we definitely need and is a player who is very familiar with injuries isnt the best thing to do..
100M (his assumed price) can get as SMS or Pogba who will add the passing % but will address our physique which we definitely lack

Tuttosport say Marotta is already working on Juventus' 8th scudetto

Perin is the front-runner to be vice Szczęsny.

Juve pushing for Darmian.

If Benatia leaves, Juve will make an assault on Godín or Giménez.

Juve pressing for Morata & Martial.

(just copy pasting the news btw off twitter)

No need to work on our 8th scudetto as this is already done.. Work on the CL for a change...
Perin as vice Polak is a good thing
Darmian as backup he`ll be ok
Why would Benatia leave? Godin is good while Gimenez - I didnt see much of him to judge..
Morata will be a great purchase if it is a 15M with option..
Martial is definitely a great player
But the thing is - We need to get a strong CM so Marotta needs to work on that..

Or he'll just be another Danilo...
We did ask for Danilo at one point..
