If Conte is going to stick with 3-5-2 (and let's face it, he will) we badly need to get a left wingback in January. There's a big hole on the left with both Young and Perisic being poor this season. It's a much bigger necessity than another midfielder or a Lukaku backup.

I’ve changed my dentist, I do exercise every day, I do muscle reinforcement, I’ve changed everting, sometimes I am not tired after games, after 90 minutes I can still go ahead.”
Lol at that. So Marotta pulled an Aly Cissokho on him?

I like the guy, but he is the Sensi of left backs. I'd pass, he spends more time in the hospital than he does on the pitch.

I want a new LWB, but I'm sick of the mediocre stop-gap solutions. Either buy a sure fire starter like we did with Hakimi or invest elsewhere and make-do with what we have for now.

It depends on what they have in mind regarding the coach situation. If they intend to stick with Conte in the longterm then sure. Sign a left wingback who can be a definite started now or in the future on a permanent basis. Else we should only look for a stop-gap solution as long as Conte is around and secure a loan deal for the left wing. Once Conte is gone, no coach is going to play with two ultra-attacking fullbacks no matter how good they are. It's not functional. We have already seen it in the past with Maicon and Maxwell.

I think we can bring Biraghi back. Fiorentina has some interest in 9n and Prandelli uses more 4 man defense where Biraghi doesn't fit well. I know he was shit first half of last season but he definitely stepped on and showed that could be rotational player here.
9n has no more value these days sadly. We couldn't take even 15mln for him imo. So that could be a good deal for both sides.

A good coach can always work out tactics which use the wingback as a fullback or elsewhere. See how Cuadrado played as RB for last couple of seasons. Let's just get a quality player. Conte will fuck off end of this season.

I’d be in favor of this deal as a loan. He isn’t a great defender but sound technically and can also play in midfield.

He wants 15M net wage. Its pure fantasy at this point. Nobody should get more than Lukaku (7.5M) in this team. Not even Conte. But the wigman gets it.

There’s not a club on the planet who would pay Alaba €15m net salary, fucken lunatic.

Also it just occurred to me as I saw the dude on Instagram but I would sooner bring back Asamoah (who is a free agent) than spend a cent on Emerson.

Emerson seems like such a run of the mill mediocre fullback. He doesn’t score goals, he doesn’t provide assists and as far as I’m aware, he’s not some fantastic defender either. His physical attributes are average. For a club that has a history of having terrible luck with LB’s, I’d take a hard pass on him. If it’s not a clear upgrade on Young, what’s the point?

I feel Alaba 15m€ salary demand is gross, so that there's something lost in translation. In Germany I think they use gross salaries and Italian bhenchod media doesn't understand this.

Or then he really demands 15m€ which is ludicrous at covid era.
