i dont like him as a CB either but as a DM? hell yes. id take 40 yo healthy Mascherano over almost anybody
You do realise past season in UCL against Barca, they had Mascherano as DM and was arguably one of theyr worst performers against Juve or any other world-class sides? As much as i like Mascherano, this transfer is a couple of years too late if it really is to happen, he is still a decent player but a slow one this days and nowhere near what we need in midfield, only reason i'd see us going for him is his versatility which can help both as CB and DM but seriously now, Mascherano is not the player that used to be...
I woudnt be too happy about it tbh, especially when i think about our mercatto strategies so far the only thing that comes to mind is that a free buy like Mascherano would result most probably in no other quality reinforcements in midfield... :sick:
