Back on the Pogba scenario, we will eventually lose out on him, if not now but probably a few years down the track. The club needs to make a decision, sell him to a team like PSG and use that money to invest in quality players in all areas to ensure moving forward we continue to be successful, or keep him and hope that he can be an integral part of the team that helps win a CL....
But, if PSG were going to offer something ridiculously high and we somehow negotiated to add players in the deal like Verratti and Cavani (which I doubt we'll be able to lure him in the deal based on what they paid for him), then I say go for it. Verratti replaces Pirlo, we get a world class striker who is proven and we utilise whatever funds we have to bring in a left back. We free up Asamoah to play in midfield again and we keep Marchisio. All in all it is a win situation for us.
I don't think Marchisio is going to get us anywhere near as much as he would have last season, unless he has an outstanding WC campaign. Vucinic and Giovinco have lost a lot of value also having minimal playing time...Giovinco has most likely lost his spot in the NT squad now as well so again less value.
Our loaned out players are worth peanuts, players like Padoin, Peluso and PDC are worth peanuts as well.
Quags needs to stay, an ideal sub forward who is versatile.
Why do we need Abate when we have Caceres? I rate him higher at right back than Abate.
