Why not both?Also if you've seen Genoa games what do you think of Bertolacci vs Kucka? I heard we might go for Bertolacci instead.

We'll we got the new Viera a couple of seasons ago so why not get the new schweinsteiger though they were/are 27+ years old. Nothing against you Panache but the new -superstar name only applies to a younger player kind of like Jose Mauri (the new Mascherano)
You shouldn't laugh. I'm actually kind of creeped out, the resemblance is uncanny. For a second if you forget he's coming from Genoa and that he's 28, you'll realize he has Bastian's skill set. Come to think of it he has a bit of De Rossi in him too. Watch him explode this season!
I like you panache, you bring joy in times when there are little joy to be found.

He walks a bit like Makelele too.
Haha, I did have a nice laugh at what I said . Damn, could I have predicted our buys better
Seriously though, things were taken a bit out of context.
-a- at the time, Montolivo was coming from a solid year, and Flamini + Boateng was still here, so our midfield was pretty good and seemed covered.
-b- El Shaarawy, Balotelli and Pazzin were on a high note, we had three strikers that had scored more than 10 goals, and Niang also was showing a lot of promise.
-c- Our defense also seemed to click with Zapata-Mexes giving 12-13 goals since January in the Serie A games. Add to this that Constant + DeS were also rock solid that year.
-d- Honda was hyped quite a bit as a creative midfielder/winger.
So long story short, basically what I was saying was that we needed some more depth in midfield with a creative midfielder to replace Montolivo, a young B2B CM who would hopefully become better and a possible winger considering that we lacked depth there (afaik it was only Boateng + El Shaarawy + Niang that were used there).
Add to this the fact that I was still a rookie in this forum who believed more than a healthy share of the opinions that various "experts" say about our transfer targets, and you get the entire picture.
Can you believe that? I would have never forgiven Galliani for letting this one slip...his promising career would have wasted away in Afghanistan. It never hurts to have a Bastian-like player on our roster.
This season will be very interesting. And a top 3 finish at this point is wishful thinking.
Kucka 28 < Bastian 31...do your math kid.
Kucka is 75-80% (some would argue 85%) there, he'll be the new Schweinsteiger in 2-3 yrs and his price will skyrocket.
Welcome Kucka.
Perhaps his signing will be good for Bertolacci, since they played together at Genoa.
Finally an actual midfielder
