So we'll renew Lukaku's loan, thus killing any chance of signing SMS?Frattesi is a Barella-lite. As much as I like the player, there's no point in signing him to be a Gagliardini replacement. He's too good to sit on the bench (and is on a great trajectory), yet not good enough to displace Barella. He could potentially rotate with whoever the LCM is, but if there truly exists any opportunity to take SMS, we have to take it.
Kinda similar to Dybala eh.........
Players usually step up their game when they come here if they notice we have a plan what to do. Plus supposedly SMS would like to reunite with Inzaghi (always a big factor in motivation). It's just that Inter's finances won't allow him.So we'll renew Lukaku's loan, thus killing any chance of signing SMS?
I don't love SMS. He's a moody player who tends to disappear. The talent is obvious, but I'm not convinced he'll cut it at a big club. Would rather take a punt on him than Fratessi, though.
I think you have a point here.Technically SMS is the superior player but I like Frattesi’s dynamism. Im honestly not sure SMS would be the better fit for our current squad. If we played with a DM I think it would be a no brainer, but we essentially play CMs converted to deep lying playmakers (Brozo & Hakan). We are also more of a counter attacking team now. I think that also fits Frattesi better.
I kinda get this view tbh.. frattesi id the sort of player I'm in favour of, and I have no specific opinion on him, but I really hope we've thought through and made big decisions about, in particular, fabbian.Why am I so scared of that? Why do I feel like we could save money for SMS if we keep Fabbian and Mulattieri and not go for Frattesi?
What is the other possible outcome - losing two promising players for Frattesi?
Unless we are selling Barella, I don't see the need to buy Frattesi.
I don't see it necessary to make much changes to the midfield. If Brozo or Hakan gets a good offer and leave then maybe. But if they stay we just need a player to replace Gags and someone like Pereyra can do that job. No need to sacrifice our youngsters yet again. We mostly need to focus on defence and forward line.Why am I so scared of that? Why do I feel like we could save money for SMS if we keep Fabbian and Mulattieri and not go for Frattesi?
