NZonzi or Tolisso would be nice for summer, but won't be eligible in CL, therefore won't be a big help if we get them in January, we can probably win Serie A with what we have, only upside would be that they'd be integrated before the start of next season
imo Zenit won't release Witsel for peanuts, because they are way too proud for that, probably signs for us in the summer
Bentancur and Kessie are too inexperienced to help us straight away in CL, besides Kessie goes to AFCON, again, would be good for next season if they join in January
Dahoud isn't the most experienced player either and I haven't watched him at all, but he seems like the only one that could give us some kind of boost already this season

That's why we shouldn't buy anyone in January just for the sake of it. Going along with that "lack of muscle" trend in our midfield we can just field Lemina or Sturaro.

Beppe doesn't even give a shet anymore. He wants someone he fukkin takes it. Watch him get Verratti next summer after straight up lying to Nasser Al-Khelaifi's face that he's not gonna do anything. If Beppe barged through my door and asked for my gf I wouldn't even fight him man, I'd know that the game is over already. Beppe didn't even wan't Higuain last summer but got so pissed at De Laurentiis' goofy comments that he just fukkin took him anyway. That fukker Aurelio was so smug about his huge 94mil clause and was so sure that Higgy would stay that the cheeky fukk Beppe just paid it all for the lols.
Yeeesss :lol:

Go all in for Verrati and james on summer. But i mean all in like never before. Then buy guys in the line of witsel/herrera to replace our deadwood on midfield.

Marchisio,Verrati,Pjanic,Witsel,James,Mandragora and Lemina doesnt sound so bad.

The rest....AXE!

Both will 100% not going to happen but 1 of them might although a midfield of Marchisio;Verratti Pjanic;James sounds like a dream midfield...
Anway if there is even the slightest chance for Verratti it would be amazing to have Marchisio Verratti Khedira;Pjanic (Witsel as a sub)

I think this past summer we saw weirder things like the Pogba/Higuain deals.... so i would not rule out anything. I have the feeling Verrati can be convinced about coming here...but yes is highly unreal.

Anyways, i think the board will try to do a deal like this because this current season we all got convinced our midfield is simply not CL winner material....and since we have some real good forwards....we can try to upgrade our midfield next and see what happens.

The ageing defence is a worry tho...

I don't worry at all.

We have plenty of time to get replacements, and we already brought in Rugani.

Bonucci (29) and Benatia (29) could be with us for another 5 years,
Chiello (32) with all his injuries, another 2-3 years, Barza one more year.

Bonucci-Rugani could be our to go CB's for years to come, same with Alex Sandro at LB, and with a little luck Lirola turns out to be our new RB.

I find it hard to worry about our defense department.

Why do you like Meret more? He is playing in Serie B, so what makes him more preferable then a 2 years young freak of a phenomenom who's been starting for a big club and already in senior NT as a little teen?



Except the part of only costing 5m, there's not much else thats in Merets advantage.

Because don is italian, and he always prefers a foreign player


Which is silly. I want us to get him, i dont care about the price.
