Great dribbling skills, fairly fast and a big motor, although the coach needs to kick his ass to convince him to track back. Simeone knew how to do that at first but at some point that relationship broke down and it didn't work anymore, part of the reason he wanted out of Atletico.
He also has a fairly good eye for goals and is a more than decent crosser. In general, if he's willing to take a pay cut he could be a great addition.
The only question marks are his form and confidence. He's a guy who can be absolutely devastating when on form but infuriating when he's not, as he tends to be selfish and overcomplicate things. He might have problems raising his level again after China, and that might hit his confidence badly.
Can't see any better alternatives at this point though...
Axel Witsel has also played a big part in raising Dortmund's level.
Most players seem not to get affected at all...
I'd take Carrasco on loan with option
he probably wants to prove himself to other teams in Europe so should be motivated and keep the option just in case he has a crazy season
His wage would likely cause disharmony in the dressing room, if he was signed on a permanent deal. Lucci would arrive on the first Monday after the seasons end to re-negotiate Suso's contract to 5/6m, Baka's brother will be looking at 5/6m and then Capitano would be left questioning his own worth.
I completely forgot Pastore plays for Roma now
he can't possibly expect to make the same wages though, no one who has returned from China keeps the same wages
Schick's fee could get up to 42m?
Alisson really covered up the cracks in Roma's defense last year.
Guys, why do you do this to yourselves? The mercato is closed, let it go.
He's perceived as a mercenary. Hard to see him accept anything under 5m(at best) does he have the motivation to prove himself again in Europe. It's down to the player, he made the choice to leave for China at only 24...
