What winger would we get better than Shaqiri? seriously.
In the Winter? Nobody

In 1 or 2 Summers time? A fair few if we actually invest in the first team. Shaqiri is a good young player with some nice potential but he's nothing to lose sleep over.

please..just sign this guy, i just don't want us end up with fucking diamanti for god sake
I guess Sneijder would be better than ol' Diamonds but that's like deciding which type of cancer you want to wake up to in a Weeks time.

It's hard to tell because you never really know who's available until it's time. So I won't get in to a 10 page 5 poster fantasy debate about which wingers we could or couldn't buy

Best to wait to see if

A) We actually want to play with wingers and stop being the most narrow 'top' team on the planet
B) Want to invest enough to bring in the right ones.

I just think it's another short term solution that will leave us even more fucked in about 3 years when a vast majority of our starters will be over the hill or gone.

Would love Schurrle.Doesnt look like he's getting much game time at Chelsea with Willian always ahead of him and could leave if a decent offer arrives.

Anyway,getting Sneijder more or less eliminates the possibility of a 4-3-3 unless we switch to a 4-2-3-1 which's probably unlikely given our midfield strength.

The big purchases will come 2 summers from now @Klin
:touched:

Remember the excuses we had last Summer? The bad CL run screwed us. Next year we'll learn from our mistakes. There's only much Marotta can do. We're waiting for the Adidas money. It's best to save the money for next Summer when we really need it.

After that, our first move after the winter mercato opened, is fucking Sneijder.

By next Summer, our roster will look something like this:

- Buffon : 36 years old
- Barzagli : 34 years old
- Chiellini : 31 years old
- Lichtsteiner : 30 years old (31 in January)
- Evra : 34 years old
- Pirlo : 36 years old
- Tevez : 30 years old
- Sneijder : 31 years old :)touched:)

So in the next Summer transfer window, we'll need to replace a minimum of 4 of those (Barzagli, Lichtsteiner, Pirlo, Tevez).

To summarize, we screwed ourselves last Summer when we went for depth instead of replacing our old guard.

I think Barzagli, Pirlo and Evra are the most urgent to be replaced. But we'll have Rolando, Sneijder and a young left back (why not Mattiello). I think that Sneijder is ok if we get a goalscorer and a younger AM. But that's just my opinion. I'm only trying to look on the bright side. We are still far away from big clubs like Real, Barca, Bayern, Chelsea and MU.

Having said that, I'll be very surprised when we win the CL this season. :D

$#@!ing such a typical move, do we go for a 23 year old who could be around here for a while, motivated, young, a good player who can improve...Or do we get a 30 year old, who is cheaper, arguably without motivation now, not at all like his former self and without any re-sale value....So annoying.
Nothing more to add. :tup:

Some of you are $#@!ing deluded. The guy has been $#@! for a while now. Do you simply expect him to turn into the WC player of days gone by simply because he has a Juventus jersey on? :lol: :howler:

Of course you would. It has nothing to do with the fact that Shaqiri is an Albanian who preferred Switzerland :D
Obviously :lol:

None. It's that simple but wait for it. Sneijder won treble not that far ago. It doesn't matter if we're bringing him out of retirement, class is permanent.

Every depth signing and shit move makes sense. We keep making them every transfer window because they make sense. :touched:

Nah. Imagine Licht, Evra, Pirlo, Sneijder and Llorente in the same team at once against Dortmund.

We're gonna create havoc in Europe. :agree:

And then they complain how we can't compete with the other clubs.
