France have Tolisso, Tchouameni, Camavinga, Veretout, Guendouzi
England have the likes of Mount, Bellingham, Grealish, hell even Conor Gallagher

most if not all of the names above I'd have over freaking cristante already.

Mount and Bellingham are 6th/7th choices are they lol? In that case so is Verratti.

De Ligt - Rudiger partnership is just perfect. I'd take Rudiger over Bremer anytime.

If Rudiger comes, MDL will most likely be sold imo. Chiellini will retire. I’m guessing we’ll have Bonucci, Rudiger, Rugani and Romagnoli as our 4 CB’s

Tragic.

 

[K.O.]

Tbh, I wouldn't. Bremer is a beast and he's younger. You've also got to consider the commission and salary. Sure, we'd need to pay Toro a transfer fee, but in terms of amortization and long term costs it's a no brainer.

Sure Bremer is 4 years younger but he hasn't proven he's a top CB for several seasons, he's been at Torino (a mid-table Serie A at best) for 4 seasons now. I've seen so many CBs have one stellar season and then crumble. Signing him for the huge fee Torino are asking for is a gamble.

Rudiger, on the other hand, is proven everywhere. EPL, Serie A, Champions League and internationally. If we offer him a 4-year contract worth ~10m/season, he'll be 33 by the end of the contract and we can decide then if we want to renew with lower wages or release. IMO, it's reasonable as long as his agent doesn't require a crazy sum for his commission.

I don't know. MDL seems happy in Turin and with Allegri. If we agree a contract extension as reported recently, he's staying at least for two more seasons.

9th. Castrovilli and pessina over him

Castrovilli has hardly played for the national team in comparison to Cristante, Pessina didn't even start against Turkey unlike cristante

Who said 6th and 7th choice? Is Bellingham a starter over Phillips and rice? That wasn't the case at the last euros

What a useless conversation. If Jorginho, Verratti, Locatelli, Barella, Castrovilli, Frattesi, Pellegrini -and I'm probably forgetting a few others- ain't quality midfield options for one team, you need to find a new sport.

Blame Mancini for starting Cristante over any one of them...

Most of the dialogue with Sadass Virginio is futile - he loves being a contrarian.

After CR7's departure, MDL is our highest earner currently with 11M in wages. If we're extending his contract we'll probably need to upgrade his salary (and come up with a big fat commission for the fat agent). Seems impossible and irresponsible with our current finances. He also hasn't really had the impact to warrant such a salary at all.

Dude defenders get better with experience.

Dude defenders get better with experience.

Did Ogbonna get better with experience? Not all of them do. The 'one stellar season' is difficult to deny at this point.

 

[duranfj]

Bro. Have you not heard of Terrence Sheepskin for England, Gonzalo Vilar for Spain and Dietmar Schweiny for Germany? They're all great prospects. Also, let's not forget Abdullah Maurice for France and Dean McMoist for Scotland.

After so many “free” transfers and dealing with so many high salaries players over the years you think we would learn something. Our business model has to be offer salaries inside markets boundaries to players with resale options; other than that just put us in a positions we know really well by now: high earners useless players and/or impossible to transfer

both are meh

Paredes is a Jabroni, a bonafide POS.

Renato pls

April fools!

 

[Bianconero81]

Traore scoring again - another solid outing. But hey, let's fap to Rusty Doris and miss out on the better and more versatile player, who can be deployed in midfield and play on the wings. I'd rather pay 40 million for Traore than 35 for Rusty Doris.

 

[Mark]

I was joking.

You compared Cristante to a player (Mount) who is a first choice for England, and another (Bellingham) who people are pushing to start, who is probably 4th choice CM right now at worst. I think you know what you're doing.

If there's one area Italy don't lack it's midfield, so it seems a stupid point to try and make anyway. We all know Cristante isn't that great but he's not claimed to be an important player.
