why dont we move for casmiero
If he is available at reasonable price that is the best move that we must pursue. They have Valverde ready to take his place
And they probably poised to invest in some young players, Szoboslai maybe
And I dont want Kante or Jorginho. Kante is a great players but I love Casemiro presence more
Jorginho is not a strong presence, he will upgrade current team only by a very little margin
I even consider Toni Kroos too, and I know
@Bianconero81 will oppose this. But I think, we dont need to resale all of our players
We need world class player in our midfield, Bentancur (23), Arthur (23), Rabiot (25) are not there yet
That is enough young players with technical gift and talent, but they need a role model
Think of it like we saw Chiellini of the midfielder that age 28 (Casemiro) or 30 (Kroos) and we take them to lead our midfielders
It is 5-6 years for Casemiro
or 3-4 years for Toni Kroos with us to give our midfield stability til they retired and Bentancur ready to be the leader in our midfield
Even I will take Vidal as our 6th backup and terminate Matuidi. Khedira is a lost case, it is the end after his injury
SMS / Rodrigo de Paul, they both good but untested on high level. It can go both way
Looking for Lazio slump form after covid, it is a light that show SMS dont have it in him to turn things around
And as for Rodrigo de Paul, he is in a shitty team that avoiding relegation is like winning a championship for them
We will go nowhere if all of our midfield is just bunch of young players with talent
It is the mix of experience and young players that will drive the team
For example AC Milan, they have bunch of kids added Ibramovic in attack , Kjaer in defense and they suddenly work
It is like they found the missing gear, old but gold not a rusty gear
