Mata is an AM, Coman is a winger, even in 4-3-1-2, one of them would play forward with freedom to roam, prolly Coman.
If we decide to switch 4231, (am and winger), AND we decide Coman is a LW (like france U20 coach does and i'm been saying for weeks), then Mata would kinda be the Pirlo replacement.

That would make sense. It depends what we want from Coman tho.

But anyway, we need to see how the situation is in januari. Maybe he explodes, maybe he stutters

So this is a list of the (IMO) mercato opportunities right now. Which would you choose?

Until 2015:

Sirigu GK PSG
Abate RB Milan
Khedira DM Real Madrid
Rabiot CM PSG
Bakkali WF PSV

Until 2016:

Marchetti GK Lazio
Savic CB Fiorentina
Subotic CB Dortmund
Danilo RB Porto
Sandro LB Porto
Rodriguez LB Wolfsburg
Gonalons DM Lyon
Gundogan CM B. Dortmund
Vilhena CM Feyenoord
Grenier AM Lyon
Pastore AM PSG
Gaitan AM Benfica
Lavezzi WF PSG
Campbell WF Arsenal
Florenzi WF Roma
Shaqiri WF B. Munich
Pedro WF Barcelona
Alcácer CF Valencia
Rabiot definatly
Gundogan isnt possible he'll renew.
Shaqira will probably renew if he gets enough wage
Lavezzi is a good idea if we switch wingers, on cheap

I am very curious about Jesé of Real Madrid, if he becomes unhappy with sub time in Madrid during this season I rather Juve move for him rather than Isco for instance.

to get the best out of Isco or Mata I think they have to be given a free-role, which is unlikely at Juve. They are not as good when disciplined by formation or tactics imo. Jesé, I think doesn't have such an issue (probably because he plays inside-forward and doesn't have to participate a lot in the build-up) and is more of a goal scorer which is always a positive for me.

Very unlikely during Conte's Juve. Our history is full of talented players given free roles and Allegri has been known to do the same.

wait arent you the one lamenting the loss of old school football? :p since when is a 10 supposed to defend??
Where did i say he is supposed to defend? I said he's a lazy bastard, a player who makes little to no effort for his team, nothing to do with being fast or slow. He's a soul less player, lacks grinta and passion. Uninteresting overall.

Btw, Brasil vs. Colombia is on :D

gotcha, but being aloof on the field doesnt mean one doesnt care, some people's demeanor is damning. Oh i dont do friendlies :p like kissing your sister

:tup: However, some of the ones I chose are quite unrealistic, even on a free, and I am quite sure there will be a few who will be granted contract renewals.

:howler: Absolutely not. Jese is decent, but Isco is sublime.

True. Usually just one with total freedom tho.
Wich is why i like 4231 with backtracking wingers and a pressing CF so the treq has total freedom

Not sure what's funnier: someone saying Coman is a better option than Mata from a technical POV or another person saying Mata is a top-3 AM in the world.

Anyway, I was wondering if any of you remember the terms of the bonuses we're supposed to pay City (of they're met) for Tevez. It was something like 2-3m a year for 2-3 years if certain criteria are met.

And btw, Tevez earns 4.5m in base salary. +1m in bonus if we win the scudetto and another 1m if we win the CL. So, last season, we paid him 5.5m in total.

Typical football fan, the short term memory of a hamster. He was brilliant with Chelsea for 3 years, their best player, best most creative AM for several seasons in a row in top football together with Özil (his assist and goals combo was consistently highest for those seasons). That Mourinho doesn't want to play with creative nr 10 does not diminish his top playmaker qualities, nor does being played as winger by a confused Moyes. But I guess people only remember the latter like it defines a players qualities.
He was never brilliant and he slowed down their play to the speed of a snail. That's why they're much better off without him. He wouldn't even be in my top-10 as an attacking mid.

By the way; football IS played now. Torres ain't the guy he used to be either.
