What is that N'Zonzi guy like? Lemina tier or actually a good player? 30mil release clause suggests the former
Standing at 1,96 cm and with a strong physique, the guy is a freak, and quite intimidating to get past. He is obviously a threat in the air and wins a lot of duels because of his physicality. Passing wise, he is fairly decent.

I think this signing could work.

Still, if it was between him and Kessie, i would choose Kessie based on the fact that he has a greater potential. Kessie getting the Juve DNA stamped on him and learning tactical aspects at a higher level would make him an absolute beast.

I haven't seen a lot of him but I struggle to comprehend what Kessie would add short term apart from some steel. He got hugely outplayed on saturday, which shouldn't be a shame but still... He had an absolutely awful game for 90 mins.

Every Atalanta player did, they all had anonymous games. We completely hounded and dominated them, especially first half (it's similar to judging or scouting a Juve player on our Genoa first half). 2nd half Kessie was changed to wingback when Conti went out, new position for him. But besides vs Manjuice, you could see the strength and speed advantage He had over anyone he faced.


A better game to seen his best qualities was vs Roma, gave Nainggolan and Strootman hell.

I still liked Gomez. The little fella has good feet.

He does, besides his skill, he showed he is the most experienced player on their team (besides Masiello who is 30 like him), the rest looked shooked, and not suprising due to their age and team organisation falling apart. But Gomez really only wook up last 20 minutes when we gave them space to come at us, and he was running rings around our defenders wide with his tricky feet, but thankfully we bossed every cross like no other.

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?
I think we will get 2 or 3 new mids, all in summer, and depending on if Khedira stays or leaves. Hernanes and Asamoah will be the ones to leave most likely and Witsel is a sure signing. I also think we will try for Verratti and if we succeed (highly unlikely) Khedira and his 4M wages will be sacrificed. Then we would proceed to sign another depth option on low(er) wages, preferably some of the younger guys mentioned and thats it. Verratti, Marchisio, Pjanic, Witsel, Lemina, Sturaro, another signing. Then there is Mandragora who if he can prove himself to Allegri might be kept at the expense of Lemina or Sturaro.

If we cant get Verratti, i think we will get one of the young CMs being mentioned (Kessie, Dahoud, Goretzka, Tolisso...) in addition to Witsel, sell Asa and Nanes and be done with it. 4 new players seems like too big of an overhaul to me

Agreed with most of what you said (I'm more pessimistic of Verratti chance), except it will be very tragic if we keep Sturaro past this summer. Honestly its not hard to find a more suitable player who should be kept for the domestic player reasons.

I know he looks like a trash, but looks like Kondogbia is on his way out from merda this winter. He might cost what like something 20 mln, for a 23 year old kid who is physically imposing and not brain dead. What do you think? Forget about his merda days, in Monacao and Sevilla he was a stud.

And what's important he is not CL-bound

Its nothing to with his Inter tenure, but he is defenitely not what we need, precisely because he is just a runner DM type, moves up and down using his physique tho ballwinning is not that great, is more of conservative b2b DM approach having decent presence physically, was the same in Monaco, he NEVER did anything forward, not even the basics, except a header or so.

Big hurdles:
-he's been shet for two seasons
-he's an Inter player so obviously he has been instilled to their defeatist loser mentality. Would take a year to scrape the shit off him like with Hernanes.

-and like said above, we need different players.
