Both don't matter really. Those are some made up criteria. We should aim for improvement and that assumes Rincon and Mandragora are bench players to Marchisio/Khedira/Pjanic/Tolisso*

* - or some other CM of starting quality that we'll buy in the summer.

 

[Ocelot]

Him and Pjanic should make a good combo

Provided we play the 4231 next season too youd have a midfield of:

Marchisio/Tolisso Pjanic/Khedira

+Rincon and Mandragora? How many games a year do you intend to give to Mandragora, an 18 yo who needs to play, here? Thats exactly the role we have Sturaro for

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

Yeah, exactly my thoughts. Sturaro has to go, he's literally worthless. Lemina won't be used by Max it seems so we should sell and reinvest the money. Rincon is solid enough to be that back up player. For many reasons Sturaro and Lemina can't do even that so we definitely should sell both. We'll need the money for a couple of attacking players for our new shining 4231

Spot on

Do you think we should still bring in Tolisso?

 

[GiocataGrande]

Poor mans Vidal. So basically really, really good player.

haha, good point. It does not necessarily need to a be a bad thing.

He was great today. He reminds me of that dog in Tom & Jerry, so stocky, like a damn square.

 

[duranfj]

Good game and nice pass, he even did a couple of long nice passes, once he settle he would be an important player for us... What a change, now with this new formation and I see a MF with 2 Pivot with him, Khedira, Pjanic and Marchisio and it's just unbelievable cuz just 4 months ago in some games I was expecting a MF with Asa-Hernanes-Sturaro...

 

[Bianconero81]

He's like a Sturaro with better ball control, more brains, and decent passing ability. Hence, he should get more playing time, with Sturaro relegated to the stands for eternity. I'm so glad Hernanes is gone

 

[Kopanja]

This guy wins the ball in such a brutal fashion, like a lumberjack.

 

[Linebreak]

Good player. Gives us a bit of energy with brains in midfield.

Well Sturaro is simply not good enough he actually regressed and that's why he should be sold. Mandragora is promising and that justifies his stay here unlike Sturaro's. It didn't hurt Pogba to be on the bench, Rugani despite being 5th choice is doing fine. If Mandragora doesn't develop well enough he will be sold anyway. If he's good enough he'll get his chances at expense of someone else (just like Pogba - Marchisio and Benatia - Rugani).

Tbh I don't know. I think we'll need one more CM just in case we decide to play 3 man midfield again. I'm not sure whether it should be Tolisso or someone more in Pjanic mould. It would be nice to have Tolisso as he adds strength, grinta and dynamism on the other hand we saw last night that Pjanic adds something else and we have no replacement for him atm. We have some time till the Summer so I guess the management should watch closely Rincon and Mandragora to decide whether they can contribute more and be given more responsible roles in the team. Based on that we could get just the opposite type to make the midfield complete.

Pogba actually started playing a lot in his 1st season even, Rugani for the most part of his career here was 5th choice in a 3 man backline. Only last few games and some random off games we played a back 4. Its a huge difference to being 6th! choice in a 2 man midfield. Also Rugani was 21 when he joined and had a füll Serie A and a full Serie B season behind him already. Mandragora? Hes 19 still and barely played in his career. We extended Sturaro for a reason, and thats the filler role he will be playing here for years. Hes also being called shit by too many people too often. The guy plays for a 5 in a row scudetto winner and was part of Italys QF reaching team last summer. Some respect please

Meh, I'll skip that, thanks. He's not good enough, too often a ticking bomb. End of story for me, let's agree to disagree.

 

[MikeM]

So far this guy hasn't put a foot wrong. He hasn't really been put into challenging scenarios but I really like him so far. He offers something a bit unique from the 2 man midfield in that he can take a ball and burst past his marker quickly, then force a defender from the next bank to come and meet him. It creates better opportunities for our attackers.

 

[Akshen]

mini Vidal is the best way to describe him, he really reminds me of Arturo a lot. I usually hate those 27 + bench signings but this guy is something different.

 

[Hydde]

yeh. Looks ready to do the dirty job

 

[bongraider]

a brutal mofo with a soft first touch.

 

[Hydde]

So, this guy will play someday?,

whats the purpouse?

Bought him for a three man midfield. Switched to two man midfield
