We only have 3 legit CMs. The reserves are an unproven kid (I don't see anyone vouching for him anymore now that MTO made that dramatic departure), and 2 AMs.

When you look at the ages of all 6, their injury history, and the current shape of some of them, it would be inevitable that they will have to use kids from 3rd level futbol several times this season (and for sure there aren’t any potentials there).

Not exactly, a smart strategy if one wants to compete in 3 competitions.

Jesus fucking Christ. Is there anyone you don't like to see suffer?
Wasn't aware you were quite such a sadist

In no particular order:
Robes, Mole as a Pelican fan, Freeza (both Madrid and Lakers), you, futbol, all Arsenal fans, Jjuve fans in the CL, CBarca/Spurs/Bucks and Nick during a transfer window.

Everyone else, I feel genuine empathy towards any unfortunate situation they find themselves in.

I do think you forgot Liverpool fans, but apart from that, fair enough.

I did, Liverpool fans are actually tippy top on the "must suffer" list.

Fiorentina are ready to give 30 mln for Politano. Inter'd replace him with Ante Rebic (he costs equally more or less)

Even though most number of Inter fans 'd keep Politano, I 'd take him , upgrade for me

Politano is provinciale as f, fantastic deal to get 30 from him.

How would Fiorentina manage 30mil???

Eriksen and Modric really shouldn't be compared all that much. They're completely different players

Sky Germany and BILD saying Jerome Boateng close to Juventus.

When did Hans join the Juventus board?

That being said it would be a good move given the highly underrated (and unfortunate) Höwedes was good the very few times he played for Juventus and it would be nice to see another German CB in their ranks and hopefully succeed this time.

lol

de ligt's performance got them scrambling

will be a very sad day for the FC Bayern

We already were one CB extra prior to Chiellini’s injury with Rugani staying put.

We signed 3 central defenders this summer, with only Barzagli leaving the squad and now Chiellini being injured.

Tutto posto

Ante Rebic

What in the fuck is this shit

This better not be a Boban move.

What you think Rebic is beneath you?

Would be instantly the best player in your squad.


However, 25-30m

good luck with that

Rebic is coming off of only truly good year.

I like his powerful style of play and ability to duel head on and contribute off the ball along with his versatility but he was frequently disappears in big games.

I may be proven wrong but my rating of him is not based on the average player he was in Calcio but his ability to mostly produce where it matters, where he does not.

Transfer is very close apparently.

I saw that Milan are still giving playing time to Fabio fucking Borini, so I don't see why Milan fans would be laughing at the prospect of signing Rebic. Accept your level.

Thoughts ?

La @OfficialASRoma a sorpresa vicina a #Mkhitaryan dell’@Arsenal ! #calciomercato @SkySport

Roma are close to a surprise deal for Arsenal’s Henrikh Mkhitaryan, according to @DiMarzio.

Mkhitaryan is shit.

Monchi is gone but Roma still making awful deals.

Maybe I haven't watched enough Arsenal, but I don't remember him being all that bad....what exactly makes him so poor these days?

Roma have squeezed plenty of juice out of aging Premier League players Dzeko and Kolarov, so might as well try the same with Mkhitaryan (if they can land him, why's the Italian window still open in September anyway?).

I don't know what happened, I was wondering the same thing, but he is pretty terrible these days.
