Better than Giroud and Pele and Quags

Better depends on what we need.
Quagliarela is a forward that can shoot from outside the box while being quite good in the box and can score crazy goals if we need some.
Pele - Seriously I dont understand why he ever played for Italy. Its either I watched some of his weak performances or he is just not good enough.
Giroud - Good in the box, good with his head and is a great team player.
and then there is Papu - He can definitely pass a ball but is not exactly a forward.. He is more of an AM.
If we want a player behind the forwards - Definitely - Papu is creative but then you ask yourself what about Dybala and Kulusevski
Dybala can play alongside Ronaldo but then you leave out Morata.
Kulu - He started well but he hasnt made the impact I was expecting him to make.

We can rotate him with Dybala but I dont think Dybala will be happy with it..

when are we going to be linked with Bendtner, Vucinic, Osvaldo?

 

[Salvo]

Just sign Richmond Boakye, bring our man back

Are they old enough for us?

Papu is a great opportunity, hopefully we’ll get him.

 

[Orgut]

a trade or even better a loan trade would be excellent. I wish we could ship him to Atalanta for a season - Im sure he`d raise his value playing for them.

trading bernadeschi for a 33 year old whos valued at 10 mill sounds like bad business from a financial point of view, Bernadeschi's book value is at least 20 mill. I'm still not entirely convinced Gomez is what we need, I'm in the belief another #9 is required whilst we have players like Dybala and even Kulusevski who can play the Gomez role

They can play it, but how?

You have a point there but Berna is currently a liability as no big team want him and he refuses all other options while being useless and command double of Papu`s current wages (2 for Papu, 4 for Berna).
If we swap them we get a better player although much older while getting rid of someone who seems to be impossible to sell and we do have enough players who can play his role with Chiesa and Kulu better than him.

I`d like a loan swap so they could revive Bernardeschi for us to sell a year later but I guess we cant get everything..

Bad business? That's quite the understatement. It would be absolutely terrible business

I do agree with Gomez not being what we need. Not saying he's a bad player (he clearly isn't, he's great) or that he would not be useful for us, but there are other, more pressing, issues. Not to mention that it would be, once again, an extremely shortsighted deal.

Gomez

Dont care about the age nor the price. Bring him here.

If only we still had Borriello the great

as bad as bernadeschi is, he is still attracting attention and has resale value. Gomez won't have any resale value if we were to buy him. Id rather we entrusted kulusevski than restrict further playing time for a 33 year old who we honestly don't really need.

Kulusevski needs at least 2 more years to come close to Papu.

 

[Robee]

Kulusevski needs at least 2 more years to come close to Papu.

Then let's give him those years instead of benching him all the time.

 

[Snobist]

We are not Udinese or Sassuolo.

 

[Robee]

We are not Udinese or Sassuolo.

Or Atalanta. We need guys with high ceilings not stopgaps.

The fact that we're benching Kulu is fine for now, buying another stopgap to place in front of him and effectively giving him barely any playing time at all, is stupid.

 

[U Picciriddu]

He wants 1,5 year, we dont want to give him more than 6 months
Has a verbal agreement with Sampdoria to extend his contract (expires next summer), so Quags doesn’t wants to take the risk to be jobless after 6 months

Maybe Samp does him a favor to extend him contract and letting him come to us to finish the season, but I’m guessing this last part
