Wouldn't be too sad if we sold Suso. God knows I've always been very vocal about how much I wished we can bank on him asap. But after GPs words it looks like he really appreciates him and sees a very valuable player for his system. Meaning that by keeping Suso you know what you got while when we go for Memphis it's still to be found out how good he suits GPs system. That3msking me nervous.

Giampaolo was building up his value with his words. He's not going to say any of his players suck.

What would you think of Suso for Depay, having Depay as SS (instead of Correa) and then having either Paqueta or Hakan at TQ, with the other at LCM. Otherwise - if possible - bringing in another AM.

I honestly haven't watched that much of Depay, but from what I've seen, he looks very good. If Suso played like he does at his best, for 9/10 of the season, he'd be one of the best players in Serie A. But he doesn't. He doesn't defend. He doesn't attack well enough to balance that out. So he's an asset that we got for nothing that we can flip for something else, which I'm down for.

Correa, another player I haven't seen--but I've watched Depay more--I can't really make the choice between the two, I'm just more familiar with Depay, and his scoring stats are better, but that shouldn't matter.

For me? Hakan is the best CAM we have. Paqueta should be our LCM, it's his preferred position and where he does the best. His cameo at CAM against Udinese was exciting, but Hakan is the closest thing to Rui Costa (not talent-level, just playing style) and it's where Hakan has had his best games, for club and country.

So, yeah, I guess I'd do it.

Yeah, exactly, only a master tactician like Conte would devalue his own players, while upping the importance of targets (thus driving up their price); master!

72 matches in Ligue 1, 29 goals and 23 assists. 22 goals and 5 assists with PSV before his struggles at Manchester United. I think you can excuse his stint with United as they have been about as much of a shit show as us for the last half-decade.

I would swap Suso for him, I'm not sure who we could purchase with 30M that would be an upgrade over Depay or Suso statistically speaking. Good chance he could replace Suso's statistics and then some. The space he would open for Piatek my word.

That Blade kid we have just signed, I liked wot he said... I will work very hard and give lots of assists to T9.

depay is the opposite of that! Fecker is very selfish and not a very good football player.

I prefer the dynamic player - Depay's movement and vision doesnt impress me and I'm not sure how well he would fit....

But yeah I mostly saw him when he was stinking it up at Utd. That I dont take as an excuse though because he wasnt playing in a Mourinho's team as some right back - he just couldnt cope with the pace and physicality. Serie A is slower yes but if he doesnt go the extra mile he wont create space for himself or others ... something I'm sure we would never have to worry about with Correa.

Whomever comes though I will wait to see them integrated and hope for the best.

Won't take him even at a cut price. Not at all in line with the kind of profiles our management is targeting.

Yeah no for sure not, he's not Conte obviously. But outright saying he's in love with him and that he's to die for?

Wot is wrong with Italy... kicking a player like Cancelo out.


Italy is still too tactical, gotta change that mentality.

Memphis is annoying off the pitch, ma sul campo lui e un grande giocatore. Veramente.
