How many meltdowns did I miss?

No it doesn’t.

4th CB or only quality midfielder we have, what kind of common sense is that?

Selling one of our most influential players and our best CM instead of our 5th choice CB is common sense?

I’ve got a bridge in Brooklyn that I’d like to sell to you.

He's 5th choice now?

Factor in their ages, market values and future market values, then ask a diff question:

Sell a 28 yo who isn't worth close to 100m for 100m (IF rumors are to be believed) like we've done throughout our history or sell a young stud future bandiera type player for 40m to potentially see him double his value in PL?


Don't want us to sell Pjanic cept it definitely should be considered for that type of offer, just don't get why so many are eager/OK with selling Rugani.

Neither Mandzukic or Cuadrado will be starters next season. They are still useful as substitutes and rotation players, but hopefully they are not starters anymore.

Bernardeschi can play in midfield or as a 10.

Cuadrado might share RB duties with the not so natural RB Cancelo, who might get a lot of minutes as a winger too.

Why sell Caldara. Why. Fkn stupid.

Max prefers Rugani. He saw Caldara in back 4 during preseason for first time and he was terrifying disaster so told Beppe to pawn to the first bidder

 

[pavluska]

Selling Caldara is stupid (it ofc is unless with recompra) but Rugani is OK...that seems to be the general consensus, and I don't get it lol.

Coping mechanism

its going to be funny when both Rugani and Caldara stay and Benatia gets sold.

Probably. Benatia the next victim of our nationalistic policy @Cronios

The only reason that makes sense to bring back skinny legs

 

[Bianconero81]

I want morata back but do we really need another forward? Unless we are getting rid of cuadrado

Get Morata back and sell for 60 million. Plusvalenza

Going to be even funnier when both Caldara and Rugani are sold we bring in Bonucci and Atletico's Savic. :mut:

its going to be perfect when both Rugani and Caldara stay and Benatia gets sold.

100% could see this happening and I'd he disappointed because we'd be lowering the squads handsomeness level drastically with savic

looks like 0 chance of us getting another midfielder right?

We are full in the midfield.

Rugani showed that he is growing and already confirmed himself as a great CB
Caldara has tons of potential but yet to even make an appearance for us (a real one not a stupid friendly..)
Both are at the same age with the difference between them is that Rugani is far more experienced at the highest level - It is right that Rugani is being valued higher than Caldara
That being said - I really dont like the idea of selling a promising player without even giving him a chance but maybe we dont have much of a choice as we struggle to sell Higuain and this might be our way to raise funds...
Caldara 45M+20M on Higuain is 65M which is about what we "wanted" from selling Higuain
Bonucci replaces Caldara and will probably return to our first 11
Feelings aside - its not a bad deal
Feelings back on - Caldara might be the next big thing and we are giving him up without even checking our merchandise..

P.S Rugani vs Romagnioli - I`d take Rugani everyday! Romagnioli is talented but Rugani always seemed more solid to me..

Pogba - I can only see him coming in a loan+obligation kind of deal (the same can be said about SMS)

 

[Xperd]

so no plusvalenza

 

[pitbull]

Selling Caldara is stupid (it ofc is unless with recompra) but Rugani is OK...that seems to be the general consensus, and I don't get it lol.

Both are young promising defenders, but difference is Rugani already had multiple chances to prove himself and isn't looking like the next WC CB.

 

[Akshen]

looking at the comparision:
http://www2.squawka.com/comparison-...s/blocks/fouls_committed/successful_passes#90

Seems that Caldara is the worst of the bunch statwise. He is winning many tackles that true, but he also looses the most duels. Which probably means he is he might rashly in his play.
He also seems to be at least not so good with the ball at his feet.
Of course we have o consider that he was playing for shitty team, but so was Bonucci.
Other thing that we have to consider is that Caldara is not used to play in 4 man defences - he only played 532 in the club and stated himself that 4 man defence is something new for him. We are yet to see how he does in our setup.

 

[suligodsilla]

Actually don't get how Milan can get away with it financially. Higuai. Will cost them more than Bonucci and they were in trouble with FFP

unstarstanding FFP is also an art

Juventus are interested in Sporting Braga striker Francisco Trincao, top scorer at the European Under-19 championships with a total of five goals. Marotta and Paratici are ready to make a first offer of €7m, despite his recession clause being set at €15m. [Di Marzio]
