Right-sided version of Sandro :tuttosport:

Not a new link, but I just saw it and searching this thread turned up nothing.
He does reminds A.Sandro

From Spain reports that Marotta has already informed Sevilla they are paying the 30M clause for N Zonzi
Bullshit... We wont spend 30M on a player that wont be able to play in CL... If it means next season I doubt we have decided from now about it although I might admit he did seem impressive against us

Could not asses Kessie much at all yesterday. Is he worth the hype?
I cant single out one player from Atalanta who played well yesterday as we played great against them shutting them down completely with true grit!

We can either:

- Buy a world class CAM i.e. isco, james etc.
- Buy a WC CM and push Pjanic into CAM. i.e. Veratti,
- switch to a wing based system 433 with dybala messi role.
All would be great but I really cant see us doing the last one while the 2nd will only happen if he demands to leave
As for the first one highly.. highly unlikely to happen - 80M I can see us splashing this sum on Verratti but not on James while I dont think Isco wants to move at all...

You can get something like 10M for Stururu and Lemina, but nobody will give us dime for Licht, Asa or Hernanes.



That looks pretty dope actually. :tup:
Chelsea wanted Asamoah lastt summer. Inter offered 10m for Lichtsteiner so of course they will...

He is actually a good player. He has been very solid this season. He is better than the likes of Witsel, and that hack Sissoko.

So, our midfield will have Kessie, Nzonzi, Witsel, and Bentacur come June/July. Who is gonna make way? Hernanes and Asamoah are obvious candidates, but it would be a shame to lose Lemina while retaining that headless chicken Sturaro.

4 in, 4 out seems fair. Only that's about 60-65 million right there and it doesn't contain anyone great. Hard to imagine us changing that much realistically speaking.

Btw why are we looking at N'Zonzi? CDM is not a priority with Marchisio there, is it?

We won't get 4 new mids unless we go 4312 permanently. 3 maximum for January and summer

Nzonzi and Kessie would be good, Witsel really isn't needed after that but since he comes free that's cool. Bentancur should def head on loan for a year, I'd rather put that last spot to that CAM we have been waiting for 3 years.

I'd sell Lemina tbh to finance those lads. He has potential but he really strikes me as a poor mans Vidal; pretty good at everything but not spectacular at anything. Dumb fouls, red cards and attitude problems are there too apparently lol. Market value is high, he is in demand and he'd drop way down the pecking order. Could easily finance someone like Nzonzi or Kessie with the Lemina money.

We are probably gonna sell two mids, if not more. Hernanes and Asamoah are probably on their way out, and I believe Lemina might be sacrificed. I'd go all out for Verratti and get Kessie, but I don't think Verratti wants to leave PSG, at least not yet. Bentacur will probably be loaned out, so that means NZonzi, Kessie, and Witsel to replace Asamoah, Hernanes, and possibly Lemina. I'd rather keep Lemina, and have a midfield of Marchisio, Nzonzi, Witsel, Kessie, Pjanic, Khedira, Lemina, and Sturaro (unfortunate, but inevitable). Not too shabby now, is it?
