Damn I don’t want godin to leave. The substitution last weekend was a bad sign.

They must have a really poor relationship to at least not hold out for the next 6 months.

Godin either signed on to be a starter in a back 3, or a rotation piece in a back 2. If his exit gets us close to kumbulla, we have to make the move.

If unloading Godin would allow us to sign a young midfielder in January, Marotta should do it.

No. Just no. Imagine Skriniar going down. Dumbo starting every week in our defence line? No thanks.

Imo letting Godin go would be a mistake. We would be an injury/suspension away from starting D'Ambrosio/Ranocchia. You need to have at least 4 cb who are potentially starters when you play with a back 3.

I made a point to watch him since the rumours began. I like him but I'm no scout.

Godin has earned the respect to ask for a transfer if he doesnt fit. Dont know of anyone other than kumbulla that we've been linked to.

Brilliant mercato so far. I've been waiting for some quality transfers like Vidal and Eriksen to fill the below-mediocre holes in the squad.

Two mediocre players from the EPL where 99% of their players flop in Serie A, and got back Gabigol.

Just fucking brilliant..

Ok so... We can't bitch anymore about our midfield, because Barella, Bro, Sensi, Eriksen, honeslty don't leave a lot of space for bitching.

We can't say a bad word about the defense... De Vrij, Bastoni Skriniar, Godin...

Our forwards are godlike mode as well, Lukaku and Lautaro...

Our coach is the best thing that happened to us in the last decade...

So... Um... Unless Moses and Young really shit the bed, what else is there to bitch about?

We must have something to bitch on daily/weekly basis...

How about dropping points? Is it worth bitching about?

5 mill a season for a bench player who got dropped for a 20 year old making 300k a season? Not ok to complain about that?

No one is saying our 1st string isn’t good. It’s pretty incredible actually outside of Candreva and who ever our LB is.

What is worrisome is the bench!!! Omg it’s fking laughable how bad it is and how much money it makes. Glad we are getting rid of a lot of it but that is where our money is going. And why we are dead broke

Having great first 11 (still we're not there as our wingbacks are not great) does not equal having great squad. I understand we cannot have equally great two elevens, but we have still some way to go. We need another very good midfielder or very prospective midfielder. Tonalli would be enough with Gagliardini as 6th I think.

Then we need 2 great wing backs, plus 1 or 2 (depending if you rate Candreva high) backups.

Then we need 1 more central defender, with inclination to play on the side that is better than Dambrossio.

On top of that, we need a valid long term (not giroug) sub for Lukaku who can play for a few months without any problem in case of some injury to Lukaku and we also need a valid sub for Lautaro.

Still some distance to go, but we're on the right track. Summer should be mercato of wingbacks it seems as this is currently the most lacking area of our team (ergo 2 short term solutions already now). Conte seems very dissatisfied (he is not wrong) with this beat.

But if you dont want Giroud as a subtitute for Lukaku, who is the one that you want and that will accept to be a sub potentially for the entire season? There's a very high probability that Lukaku doesnt get injured and he will always start ahead of anybody else in the league. Giroud as a target man in EL is ok.

This is a very good mercato if we sign Giroud and can send Vecino away and get a better midfielder. WBs are questionable as players but at least they are quite cheap and not long commitments anyway. Giroud is a good backup acquisition and Eriksen is of course THE shit.

Flipping Vecino to EPL and replacing him with a better midfielder would be like icing on the cake.

How?

Miranda > Godin
Persic > everyone on the left side
Icardi > Lukaku
Naing might have just cost us our title :)
Eriksen hasn’t even debuted yet
Sanchez scores how many goals and is just slightly above a 17 year old
Lautaro this season >>>>>>> Lautaro last season

Formation last season>>>> current season

Spallo's formation fucking sucked. Don't forget last season Radja, Perisic and Icardi had spells of not playing so we always had some shitfuck playing as well. People tend to forget that Icardi last season was horrible, Radja was a blimp from the Roma player (still liked seeing him on the pitch) and Perisic didn't give a fuck since it was not a World Cup season.

Oh yes, Barella - Bro - Sensi is so much worse than Gagsy/Radja - Bro - Vecino...
