24m is a good deal for Milan

Not that he is an all-star player, but he is definitely better than what they had over the years. Calhanoglu is not a boring passive playmaker like Honda or Montolivo (who plays regista), if quality players surround him his offensive instincts become a real threat.

Also very great on free kicks, Pjanic level if not better. Given the actual state of the market i rate this transfer as a good piece of business.

Luis Gustavo is close to leaving Wolfsburg and joining Marseille, according to kicker.

I'm really curious whether Di Marzio's proclamations about the Calhanoglu done deal turn out true.

Let's not forget this is a player where trouble and controversy accompanied every single of his transfers so far, and who just was banned 4 months for signing two contracts at two different clubs simultaneously Laughing

On the contrary, I actually think people need to start realizing the extent to which these kids let their agents plan their life.

Gigio best example

by Mr Nick09 Sun Jul 02, 2017 12:13 pm

i wont deny that agents speaking in their ears can have an impact but in Gigio's case for example, if the kid told him "i want to play for Madrid" of course Raiola will show him a road map to make it happen. that's what i think, if Donnarumma had any problem with what was happening he could have said no i want to stay at milan when meeting them. he did not

same can be said about someone like Verratti whose agent has repeatedly insulted PSGin the medias over the past 2-3 years. He is doing that because Verratti empowers him. Look at Lewandowski's agent talking shit about Bayern again the top scorer award. You think he just woke up and started doing it? nope, it's ok with lewandowski, and he is saying things lewa is thinking but cant say himself.

Hap how do you rate Canhanoglu? Except the free kicks I mean

by Warrior Sun Jul 02, 2017 1:50 pm

Don't forget one thing, guys like Raiola & Mendes make millions when one of his player is transfered.

I'd be naive to believe those shark agents just sit back and don't pull the strings for their own personal interest. Not that this behaviour is particularly wrong since they are basically doing their job extremely well... not everyone share the same morality.

Very good player.

For 20-25m he surely must be considered a bargain.

His main problem is that his brain consists of mashed potatoes

by Kaladin Sun Jul 02, 2017 11:01 pm

I've read similar things, that he lacks footballing IQ. Nit very impressed with this, especially since it seems like we are going with a 4-3-3

I think his footballing IQ is higher than his actual IQ. The latter might be the main problem.
