Golovin exclusive
He’s worthy of Juve
Report from our man in Russia to know all the secrets of the young midfielder booked by the Bianconeri: he costs €20m

I thought you said Beppe was finally going to come through for us this summer.

Dembele+Can as our only midfield reinforcements is just

disgusting. And here Napoli signed Verdi.

They are light years ahead of us.

We shouldn't be comparing ourselves to Napoli tbh

We're supposed to be targeting the CL; We've won Serie A for 6 years running. Our ambitions need to extend beyond domestic dominance and local borders

Can and Dembele would be really solid tho. I'm still hoping for one of SMS or Pogba, and Martial. If Beppe pulls that off, and keeps Dybala, Pjanic, and Sandro, the Mercato is a solid 9 in my book.

I was being sarcastic. I think PI was too that’s why I said that

Wait only a solid 9?

 

[MikeM]

Dembele is better than Pogba.

 

[Mark]

@Mark how come we are not all over torreira and his 25 mil release clause

Good question. Maybe because he's too small for Max?

Better as in....?

Do you want me to give it 10?

Perfection doesn't exist in my book

Yeah no kidding

And yet we are after Golovin ?

I really like Torreira's game.

Wouldn't mind Can + Dembele + Torreira at all. Gives us a good balance of experience and potential as well. Golovin (I know nothing about him, but seems a lot of people rate him) instead of Torreira would be good too.

Can + Dembele alone is decent, but not great. If we're only pulling in 2 CMs and one is Can on a free, I'd like to see the main signing be a bigger splash than a 31 year old Dembele. SMS/Kovacic/etc

 

[MikeM]

The characteristics of the CM you want change depending on a 2 man midfield or 3 man midfield.

I think Dembele is a really, really good option in a 2 man midfield. Arguably as good as would ever be available to us.

Dembele-Can is really strong in front of the defence.

I was only being a wee bit sarcastic. I'd be a wee bit disappointed if our midfield signings were Can + Dembele and that's it.

Add to those two a young, somewhat established player with lots of potential like Torreira or Golovin, as I wrote above, and I'd be super happy. 10/10 CM reinforcements with Can + Dembele + Torreira/Golovin

Sturaro + Marchisio + Khedira/Matuidi leaving.

It seems pretty clear that Pjanic is someone we want to be an integral part of this team, so I don't see Dembele-Can ever being a regular starting 2. I see us moving to a midfield 3, with the ability to play a midfield 2 in select situations.

Midfield 3 requires Dybala to be sold or for him to play CF.

Or 3-5-2 then no where for Costa to play

We still don't have a really clear idea of what kind of formation to play. Haven't really had one in a couple years.

Dybala as CF.

Max needs to try it.

Golovin is 1.80m
Torreira 1.68m

2 man mid, give me Dembele.

3 man mid with great regista, give me Pogba.

Oops, I meant signing those 3, not those 3 as our starting mid. Can-Dembele-Pjanic with Torreira/Golovin and Bentancur waiting in the wings would be pretty great.
