10 years of FIFKolarov turns 35 in November. :trollol:
Everyone is focused on midfield but is it just me whose severely concerned about our back line? Like yeah we conceded the least goals last season but for playing with a back 3 we conceded way too many and a lot of them were soft goals. Something seemed off for me with the partnerships and we’re going to head into this season with the same exact players. Unless Skriniar goes back to being in god form we could be in trouble again

Most Improved MemberNot sure about it. At the end of the season we've seen an improvement there. I think that just our defenders needed more time to get used to three-men defense. If you remember even Godin admitted that he struggles at that matter and understood what Conte requires of him at the very end of the season.
Even without any changes we should have better defense than a last season but that also depends of the midfield and wingbacks. They participate actively there as well. Poor balanced midfield will expose the defenders thus increasing the chances for the opposition and vise versa.

10 years of FIFOur midfield started to pay more attention to the defensive part of the game. In EL our midfield defended very ridigly. We didn't give many chances to opponents (in open play).

It took 11 years to kolarov. 8-9 years to get sanchez? 6-7 years to get Vidal?
We don't dodge bullets bruh

Might be time for me to break out the patented "Darmian avatar and favourite player" combo.

Tbh I'm already ok with the idea. It doesn't seem weird beside having Kolarov, Vidal, Young, Candreva , Godin... El Pocho is just 35yo.

Darmian has the same agent as Bastoni and Ranocchia. If we want to renew Bastoni's contract and/or find a buyer for Ranocchia, we have to pay the Darmian tax.

This feels like a prime banter era mercato. Hopefully we have at least 1 ace up our sleeve before it's all said and done

Really feels that way, doesn't it. As for the ace up our sleeve, it's Hakimi. There are no more kings, queens or jacks, let alone aces. Only 6's.
Every 6 months I relive this horror. I feel like a hot, young, college boy on spring break returning to his sleepy home town where a series of grisly murders happened years back. You live with this constant fear looking over your shoulder, expecting the past to catch up with you. Matteo "Voorhees" Darmian. Unbelievable.
Also, presumably these dipshit Darmian and Kolarov moves mean that the Biraghi deal is dead? Biraghi was obviously no world beater but he earned his place in the team as a rotation player. He had joint 3rd most assists in our team, he's cheap, he's homegrown, but most importantly, he's an easy way for us to get rid of fucking Dalbert.

Why are we only after United rejects? Can't we change it up a bit and go after Barca's? Oh yeah right...
