My modus operandi in all of this is to obviously push us towards a rebuild, with a young team. A team that we can sustain for the next 4-5 years. So, with that, my opinions are going to clash with a majority of people here, and that's cool. I respect that.

Why are people obsessed with trivial things like average age? Having experienced veterans is not a bad thing, you ofcourse need young and in prime players to carry the team but there is no damage having experienced subs

It would be beneficial to the upcoming seasons to lay down the framework of younger talent in the first team to play alongside and learn from the veterans currently here. All that wisdom and experience with no one to pass it down to really doesn't set the table for the immediate future. Especially when the club doesn't have a strong homegrown talent track record.

Just my 2 cents

We already have more than enough old players on this team. How much experience does a team need?

We really dont. Higuain, Sami are about to leave, perhaps Ramsey as well.

Szczesny (30), Buffon (42), Pinsoglio (30)
Chiellini (36), Bonucci (33), Demiral (22), De Ligt (21), Ruganj (26)
Alex Sandro (29), Danilo (29), Pellegrini (21), De Sciglio (27)
Arthur (24), Bentancur (23), Rabiot (25), Ramsey (29)
Bernardeschi (26), Douglas Costa (30), Cuadrado (32)
Dybala (26), Ronaldo (35)
Bold ones likely to leave as well

Out of eight 30+ olds, 3 are GKs, 2 defenders, a winger (who is leaving probably) and a GOAT striker. Its even less if you look at the starting lineup. Our average age grows significantly due to Buffon, Chiellini and Ronaldo mainly, but i doubt anyone thinks they are a problem somehow

Edit: forgot Kulu whos 20 years old

Id switch positions to Danilo and AS. That way they can cut in and shoot. LACB and RACB are important positions in that formation

Cut in and shoot from near halfway line?

What happens when they have to defend?


Danilo as CB. I actually wanna see that at least once lol.

If you are speaking of dzeko then I am in favour but mandzukic is past his use by date

 

[zizinho]

What is this Dzeko fetish of yours? Honestly such a underwhelming player to be obsessed over. How is he even close to being what we need?

Targetman that can score with either foot, hold the ball, pass, helpa defend set pieces and has leadership qualities? Yes, so many of his kind out there and so many on our team

But look at our current starting lineup and you see we are going there. We need young quality fullbacks and 1-2 mids and we are there. All thats missing is to pay Haalands clause when hes available.

Bonucci is there to cover for them

Alvaro Morata wants to return to Juventus but he earns €10m a season.(Nerozzi)

I'm talking about building blocks. Players that can start for us now, or at worst, next year. You have Dzeko penciled in as a starter. I can't and don't want to see that.

 

[Karim30]

Some were talking about Sekou Fofana in here and he was being mentioned with us and other potential teams in Serie A....he has just announced that he wants to join RC Lens, who have just been promoted to Ligue 1.

Lol

That’s his level tbh

I dont actually.
Szczesny
Cuadrado De Ligt Chiellini Alex Sandro
Partey? Bentancur Arthur
Kulusevski
Dybala Ronaldo

This is how i want to see us line up in the big games next season. Having the luxury of a sub like Dzeko though, for 15M? That id take anytime without thinking twice

 

[RoiLezard]

Just bring him back, his type is hard to come by. He’ll be a great motivator for this team.

Lol this is much better than when he wanted Balotelli. But yeah, paying for Dzeko's transfer fee and high salary makes little sense. Should only be an option if we run out of options.

So talk is Atalanta is signing Ansaldi and we will be replacing sandro with Gosens.

And where is Sandro going?

That's alot of money for a mediocre bum.

 

[AndreaCristiano]

And where is Sandro going?

They didn't say as of yet but in this scenario they say that juventus cuts wages even deeper and makes some money off the sale all the while getting a solid defender pirlo likes alot

I'm not quoting you because of what you said, but the fact that @Hustini actually liked that post, while only a couple of pages ago, said he would be cool with Morata coming back.

Somebody is off his meds again, and this time it's not me

I doubt Atletico Madrid would sell him they just bought him for 56 million euros plus seven million euros for one year loan

But why not get somebody, younger, better, and cheaper in Reguilon?
