Verratti is amazing, but we will never sign him while the Arabic guy still owns PSG and he's still under contract. I mean, even Matuidi did everything to leave and he wasn't allowed. Go figure Verratti

imagine both hazard and verratti in 2017 in expence of bonucci and some millions. i mean, we are now considered as a team that goes all-in for CL, but what would happen next season? :D

Veratti and pjanic cannot coexist on the field, besides they would make a midfield too lightweight.
I think it could work. Barcelona has always played with two creative, lighter players and one brute behind them. Xavi + Iniesta and Rakitic + Iniesta backed by Busquets would not be far from Pjanic Verratti backed by someone like Lemina or someone with some more physical traits.

Lol now its Hazard + $ for Bonucci - I always felt Hazard is a bit overrated so unless a major sum included I think we should decline

but they play with 4 backs and 3 creme de la creme attackers (since the days of rivaldo ronaldinho)...

I haven't followed Southampton at all this season, but Dusan Tadic has been massive throughout the qualifiers thus far. Inconsistent whenever I've watched him, but seductive vision and technique as a playmaker when he is on his game.

Verratti, togheter with Pogba, is the most naturally gifted CM in the world. Despite beeing 23 he allready has the increasingly extinct trait to incredibly boost his teammates around him like Scholes or Marchisio for example can. We can go to immense lenghts to describe the technical benefits he brings to any single team in the world by playing, but coupled with that very very rare trait makes him the N°1 midfield player to get right fucking now.


This is the player that is actually worth 105 million without taking marketting, merchandising, dabs or hookers in regard. Not a single player brings that much.

A) we dont need no motherfucking trequartista
B) Not a single one under 29 is remotely as impactfull aside of Pogba (when we are past january and the other midfielders arent shitty the manucan fuck)

Verratti is better at everything compared to Pjanic. Especially when it comes to defensive work, mental resillience and getting away from markers under pressure (a trait that reminds alot of Pirlo and Del Piero)
Verratti would be a great signing. 100+ is insane money though and I definitely wouldn't go that far on him and I doubt any other club would either. He can definitely control the midfield better than Pjanic but he is also definitely not as good in delivering the final ball.

We do need a Treq if 4-3-1-2 is going to be our permanent formation in the future. Pjanic can play that role if we are starting the likes of Lemina but that is far from good enough for a top 4 team.

What's the point here?
When you have 3 insanely great strikers backed up by two insanely creative possession masters, your opponents are usually pinned back for the entirety of the game and still concede tons of goals. Barca would be idiots if they weren't an aggressive attacking team with those 3 upfront.

Yes but I don't see why it wouldn't work for Juve. 2 insanely creative possession masters feeding balls to two insanely good attackers while also keeping a tight backline with 3 CBs and backtracking wing-backs.

Besides, Verratti might be small but he is by no means a light midfielder. Dude tackles and intercepts way more compared to someone like Khedira, while harassing opponents like a madman. Have a more physical CM/CDM behind them (Witsel, Lemina) and it could very well work like a dream.

Barcelona's last CL was won based on their insane counter effectiveness with that hyperspeed front trio backed by Iniesta

That works perfectly in a 3-5-2.

However, please dont act liike witsel is a DM/defensive CM, thanks
