I don't see anything Jack does that Paqueta can't other than late runs and parlare italiano.



Passing, Creating Chances, Ball Retention, Pressing

Jack<Paqueta



Goal scoring

Jack>Paqueta



Based on what you are drawing this?

Paqueta is yet to play a single minute in Serie A

4-3-3 should still be a long term solution.

Theres a reason most teams have abandoned 4-4-2. Its antiquated.

Altho I doubt we play a pure 4-4-2 anyways.

We dont.. Higuain's role is as much connecting the lines as being a striker when we play with 2 strikers. A traditional 4-4-2 will be laughable to play in Serie A nowadays.

People think Paqueta is a playmaker like Coutinho, Eriksen, Pjanic, but hes not.
Hes a cm attacking oriented, plays simple, runs a lot. But has good touch and sees the movement well. He can play in the hole but also in,433.

I hope well play 4231 eventually...

Paqueta should be given time to adjust. Depending on the price, and the injuries in our midfield, I don't see the problem of picking up Ramsey.

Granted I haven't watched him play live or in a full match, I can tell what a player does well or not from watching video on them for 30 minutes or so. Watching live is better because you see how they play without the ball as well, but having played soccer from the age of 5 through college, playing alongside professional players and coaches, watching soccer in S.America and Europe for over 20 years... you get a sense of where a player excels or not.

But why would he need to play in Serie A to judge whether or not he's good enough? As mentioned before, the consensus 'best player in Brazil' is reliably good enough to play anywhere.

true, Kaka comparisons got in their head, he's not an AM, although he can play there probably.

Ramsey wont be free. Atleast not until summer. Plus his wages are a huge barrier.

Dont know where people are getting that idea.

We need someone NOW.

I know he's not free until summer. That's why I said "depending on the price."

Maybe you should consider switching to a soccer forum if that's the case.

What do you think? Pato or Ibra?

If we buy a new CB, CM, CF and Paqueta, a few players should leave.

Plizzari (loan)
Simic (loan)
Montolivo
Bertolacci (Genoa)
Mauri (Chievo)
Halilovic (Girona)
Borini (Lazio, England)

I think.. we'll still be linked to Ibra - when he finally retires.

I think Pato can be a nice add to our squad. Maybe Ibra use us t get more money from LA? Pato can play as a centre forward or winger. I like that thing. And he realy loves Milan.

If Allegri doesnt win UCL this season... basically no club to match their squad, all top clubs are shit. Man City maybe, but they are chokers.
