Kick out Rabiot and Arthur with loan deals and pick up Pjanic from Barca on a loan with Barca paying some of his salary. Imo its a low risk - high reward move

Haha hope you are kidding? Pjanic finished in 2019 he is worse than Rabiot and Arthur combined

Only way this guy leaves I'm afraid

how did u watch him. u have tv?

I tortured myself to watch some football on the belgium homesoil. But I recommend missing those matches as well.

Milan is an ideal team for him. They truly miss an attacking midfielder...

Better than nothing but still hoping we can find a better deal.

Arthur, Rabiot and Ramsey have to be 3 of the worst deals and they all came around the same time... Disaster.

Rumors we are closing in on Muriel.

I'm actually okay with this, nobody will take him on full wages, but I hope there is some obligation to purchase. Otherwise, we're just saving 3m in wages. Only kicks the can down the road.

Although, I could see a situation were he is moderately successful in Lol Liga with regular playing time and returns with some value that we can maybe break even on. Every year that goes by, his book value drops and the price we need to break even drops.

Pjanic is physically finished. There is nothing high reward in that move. This midfield requires some grinta and muscle and you are suggesting Pjanic. Pretty baffling.

Fuck Muriel, too old now. Would've been great few years ago.

 

[CarloP]

Muriel lol, yet another injury-prone 30+ player who will become impossible to get rid of once we sign him.

 

[LiquidPLP]

Ziyech anyone? He's an actual winger, right footed. Not too expensive I guess.

Left footed

I'd be down, but is he something we'd need by now?

 

[Xperd]

Just get Kostic, keep Kean for another year, give more chances to Fagioli and call it a day. Stop wasting money on trash.

We can't get any worse from here. I think we may need to do some business in January too.

I could get behind this. His got a shit attitude but apart from that, very talented

Left footed and another right winger. If anything, we need a left winger because ZaniolON.

I agree with the first part of your post. As for the bold part, I think that what we need the most in midfield are talent, and most of all brains/intelligence.
Someone who can control the tempo, distribute balls left, right and forward, create a lot of chances and read the opponents' game and intercept their passes.

Just check this out. All 4 seasons of Pjanic and Pirlo and the last season of our current midfielders. Look at all the red for 2021/22 midfielders (the worst 5 stats are in red, the best 3 in green).

We definitely don't need the current Pjanic, but a Pjanic of the old days would do wonders. Locatelli isn't there yet. Not even close as a matter of fact.
