How highly do they rate audero?
as far as i remember i've never seen him play, but he's very handsome, so 10/10

Multiple Italian papers reporting today that we're ready to pay N'Zonzi's release clause (in two installments)
yeah, that's probably some news coming from yesterday's spanish papers. anyway, n'zonzi is a beast, so welcome (in case the news are accurate).

Shouldnt we go for someone we can use in CL
it's pretty hard to find proper players during the winter mercato. out of those 3 players recently linked with juve, n'zonzi and tolisso are cup tied, while kessié will play the afcon. btw my guess is that none of them will arrive in january.

Considering the profile we are looking at (energetic cm, ready to be a starter), it's hard to find someone in January who is not playing for a CL team. What about Camacho from Malaga? I watched them a bit when Pellegrini was there, likable player, but haven't seen him a lot past few seasons. Another name that pops into my head is Schneiderlin from Manure

If we can't find quality that can be used in CL for which is likely since players that good tend to play in Europe, why keep being hung up on CL ready aspect only. It's just few months of coming half season, if we are lucky to get all the way.


Better off getting someone as good as possible to use long term, who can have good transition with us for half a season, free up rest of midfield for CL by playing most of league games etc.

From Stoke to Sevilla to possibly Juventus. Strange and crazy career trajectory for N'zonzi. Was never overly impressed by him in his PL days (thought he was your typical brainless, overly physical workhorse), but has proved to be a pretty handy player for Sevilla over the past season and a half.

Witsel is probably the only realistic short term option that is allowed to play for us in the CL. So go for it at this point, even 'though he disgusts me, anything over seeing Sturaro fail again.

Forget about Verratti; PSG hates us and he's their biggest star since Ibra left. Plus he'll easily cost 100 mil with lots of competition from EPL and Spain's big 2.

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.
I personally think Meret's agility and shot stopping ability is better, Donnarumma has height and a big frame to his advantage but in the long run I'd gamble on Meret to be the better keeper in the future.

Remember scuffet? a lot was said about him but I genuinely think Meret is the real deal. His performance with the u19 Italy side in the summer was absolutely un-real especially his performance vs Germany
