We don't need, and won't get 3 CBs Bro. De Vrij and Caldara, and go all out for a quality RB and CM. Our team is ageing and injury prone. I hope we don't end up finishing 5th and suffering humiliation in the CL to realize that changes are afoot.

We need to sell a couple of meh players, and have a net spend of 100+ million to assemble a solid and competitive team.

We don’t trust Rugani, though. I wouldn’t be surprised if we sell Benatia.

 

[Bianconero81]

The Moroccan Malaise has gotta go, but we won't get much for him. Asamoah and Licht will fetch 0, and The Accidental footballer isn't worth much, but it seems we intend to keep him, for whatever reason.

Agree. I see Höwedes going back. His injury makes me meh over him now.

We need those 3 cb bruh

De vrij and gimenez are both needed but signing both of them looks unlikely

 

[Valerio.]

I think we have no choice with how we are playing and if he is a good defender he is totally needed...

Lol we are being linked with Vrsaljko - I think it is too late now and isnt he going to be cup tied?

Till Allegri keeps playing 2 mids and leave on the bench Marchisio and Matuidi what's the point of another cm?
We'd have to switch to 4-3-something and not this 4-2.

Thats part of it...
Sooner or later Allegri should realize it..

or Gimenez + Caldara, but thats the less likely option. either way, we are gonna need to spend our budget on that CM and RB, with hopefully no major departments

now if we scratch the names that are out of reach for us, not good enough for us + the ones that arent even available to begin with, how does the list look then?

[Pirlo's Beard]

If Benatia and Asamoah are at the fucking club come next Summer then we deserve everything that happens to us in games they rotate in.

Soares would be great, De Vrij for free is an absolute steal and I like Can a lot as a replacement for Sami

 

[Pirlo's Beard]

Also, considering our best winger is the inconsistent Cuadrado who would be lucky to be 4th choice as a winger at most top clubs, we should consider just going to the 4-3-1-2


SMS - Marchisio - Pjanic
Berna
Dybala - Higuain

Our best "winger" is mandzukic. You just can't bench him.

But if we got someone like James Rodriguez then 4312 with James behind Dybala and Higuain would be

 

[Pirlo's Beard]

Enough of this Mandzukic shit lol

Love the guy as a player but he does not have the characteristics of a fucking winger. Our general play sucks ass on the left, he NEEDS Alex Sandro at all times otherwise he's total shit. Of course he can score clutch goals but that's not what we need in a starting winger

Mandzukic can get plenty of minutes in a 4-3-1-2 considering he'd be the first option for either of the '2' and also with Dybala at 10 he could partner Higuain if we felt it was necessary.

Don't know how James is doing but I imagine if he's good he'll stay at Bayern.

 

[Nostradamus]

James has been one of the best players lately and you shouldnt believe that out of favour nonsense, that was spouted out with the Ancelotti sacking. He is doing just fine and developing into the crucial player everybody was hoping for.

A joy to watch..not tonight though and he is badly missed..horrible football really, so I focus on Juve-Barca.

 

[MikeM]

We need a CM that can run. Added bonus if he can dribble a ball while he runs.
