No Tagliafico, Telles yes.

Our next full back purchase better be rapid because everywhere I look the best teams usually have at least 1 that can bomb down the flank past their opposite number and it causes a shit load of problems

Ours just waddle up and down the flank punting it in the box or passing back the way

we already bought Pellegrini and overpaid Danilo.
So what do we do?

What we do now is lie in the grave we slowly dug for ourselves


Ideally we'd cut our losses on Danilo but we'll probably give him a 3 year extension and a healthy pay rise after a couple seasons of average performances

[Nedved96]

Absolutely not

No

Explain your reasoning.

Honestly, watching Ajax against Real Madrid and Juve last season, Tagliafico impressed me more than Sandro has done in years. There's also strong rumors that he's leaving at the end of the season.

I'd take it.

Alex Sandro at his peak was top 3 in Europe, Tagliafico has his top is perhaps better than an average alex sandro, but that does make it an argument to recruit him.

From what I've seen (CL last year+ Russian World Cup) he seems to be average in attack, average in defense, what are his strengths?

28 years, still in Eredivisie, zero margin of progress.

Right now Tagliafico and Alex Sandro are on the same level.

But Fico is cheaper and Sandro will probably give us plusvalenza

All I know is I wanna see more Italians back in our squad.

Lol


We played much better with Cancelo pre injury but he must have major attitude problems or something.

I wasn't even mad about his mistake against Ajax he created an away goal and cost us a home goal. Net positive.

Both were away from home. MDS started the home game.

That's what I mean

He cost us an Ajax home goal but got us the away one. No big deal.

We didnt have enough patience with him, it was only his 1st season and he had still room to grow tactically. But offensively, he had more talent than our current 2 RBs combined. And i dont remember the exact details of his mistake but if he had proper CBs behind him i dont think we would concede. Id take that over Danilo doing nothing all game but we still concede

 

[vodka]

I just randomly checked Pietro Pellegri and how's he doing. Turns out - he's chillin his whole career.

I think the directors underestimated how bad Danilo actually was during the exchange. They probably never really saw him play and thought there wasn’t much in it between the two and that we would be the one benefiting. So far, it hasn’t worked out for any of the parties involved.
