People that say Zaniolo is redundant, or that Moggi post about him not fitting because he is a player who shoots and not one who serves, have you forgotten how difficult it is for our team to score currently?

We have an extremely low goal contribution from midfield. Locatelli is our most credible threat but he plays in front of the defense. Our fullbacks basically do not score, Alex and Danilo are defensive fullbacks. Cuadrado can contribute to scoring, as a defender or attacker, but Cuadrado is like 35, as is Di Maria.

We have a dearth of goal scorers and players who create chances. Chiesa does both things but again he is coming from a big injury. The other two wingers have 70 years old combined, they cannot play every minute.

Players like Pogba and Zaniolo that can create chances and finish them are needed. If Valhovic is our only scorer we risk to centralize most defenders attention on him.

We do need attackers.
Actually this is something that worries me as I rather have us sign players who are known for their assist contribution and can finish than a strong finisher who doesnt assist much.
In other words more like Di Maria than a Zaniolo.

I guess you only learn other Bundesliga players name only after Bayern sign them.
RB Leipzig player, I do remember his name now, but hardly know anything about him.

I ain't always up to date with who all the others are signing. If I had to pay attention to every signing and new player, then I couldn't do anything else.

We need both and more than one of both too...

Whether De Ligt leaves or not, we wanted to sign a defender to start with him as Bonucci is getting old. We should get Pau Torres and build our CB pairing for the future.

Why is not bad? We bought a player who we don’t need, gave to Bologna two players and we are minus at the end - for me is mediocre deal. The team is not strengthening after this shit

Are there any good defenders left in Italy right now?

Most of them are either potential or just plain trash

Don't even get me started on the fullback situation
