I hope we can make it to the europa league spots at least. We need the money if we're going to try for the scudetto in three-four years.

Sandro and Lodi both are LB option for Brazilian NT. Lodi is a 2nd option after Sandro. Imagine if we buy him and he become our first option. It would push Sandro to consider move to retain his spot in Brazil NT

Lodi is a sub at Atletico as well

On the other hand our last run of scudetti came after two 7th places and no UEFA football

Liverpool looking at Paredes...

 

[juve123]

Only the last details are missing for Paredes. Juventus has an agreement with the player for a €7M net salary + bonuses. The agreement with PSG has been reached for a €2/3M loan with a buy-option (which will become automatic upon reaching certain targets) at €15M. (@CorSport)

 

[Xperd]

7M net? Are you kidding me?

Even with growth decree, that's too high a wage for a player of his caliber

Milan challenged Leeds for CDK

This is the power of PL money and the state of Serie A. Can't help it.

Wesley Fofana for 85m euro, Lucas Paqueta for 60m EUR, Isak for 70m EUR this is madness.
It's not the problem that we don't have money, the problem is they are spoling the market with their money.

 

[JCK]

Well we still have Rabiot, there is no need to get upset.

actions have consequences
action: you haven't worked to improve your product for 30 years
consequence: in a market environment your product is reduced to dust by competitors

Lodi is a sub at Atletico as well

Because they play 352 now, not 442 anymore. Lodi is not a winger/wingback, his competition for LM in 352 is Carrasco, most useful player in Atletico.

He is pretty attacking for a 4 man defence fullback, but wingback is another position entirely.

And also issue with club because of contract dispute.

We have to make space for Arturd.

Too bad CdS is anything but credible.

I'm not high on morale at all. I'm seeing players with a lot of possible upside but ofc some question marks.

The disturbing thing for me is some people tend to think anybody who had some injuries before will never be fit again. If they all help 2/3 of the season, we've still improved. And Di Maria? Well, I'd say enjoy him for a year. Next year is a problem for then...

At the moment, we're yet again fighting for 3rd/4th spot imo. If Paredes comes, I'd say we can do a bit more with some luck. And if we actually get a LB, I'd say we're scudetto favourites.

Just remember we weren't far off a scudetto fight last season too.

We finished 16 points behind Milan. What’s your definition of “far off”?
also nobody us making predictions on specific injuries but past injuries certainly increase the likelihood of future ones. For a team already struggling with fitness it’s wrong not to even consider that risk. You can’t just say inshallah and move on.

What about last 2 seasons tho? Iirc they didnt play a back 3 when they won the league (not sure about last season), and he was still a sub to Hermoso more than he played

Its 2nd season in a row they are playing this 352 hybrid. He played LM/LwB plenty enough last season (but Carrasco really difficult to displace, pure winger), did decent but not as well as he was in LB role.

Before that it was 442. He was a undisputed reliable top LB in that. Both good defending and doing really well offensively.

 

[IlCapitano]

They better be working on another LB

Ok so 2021 they used 442, when they won the league. And he was a sub more often than he started. Also no injuries except a few. This was after his first season in which he played a lot more. So this is the 3rd season he would have been underused for different reasons

Yeah he has had clear issues with Simeone, and contract dispute with the club. He had a top performances up to the league title, and wanted to rewarded for it after it, and been downhill in play time and tactical fit since.


Young emerging player. Stubborn and uber defensive go fvck yourself coach, not the best mix lol..

Ah ok. Well I don't know about their inside issues, just kept seeing he doesn't play. But he's going to England now so we need to look elsewhere anyway (or we won't look at all it seems)
