Yeah. I dunno. Latauro is pretty meh. Dybala is good when not hurt. Doesnt Inter also have correa? I would assume he is better than sanchez, but havent seen him around.

Other than comparing him to our RW's for the last ten years, I've never been impressed by Dybala. A player that can do special things, but only now and then. He isn't consistent at all and doesn't seem to have the mentality it takes to become MVP for his team.

Apples and oranges. Lautaro is four years younger than Dybala and he has still room to develop. Dybala is a finished product and I don't think he will play at the top level for years to come.

Thinking about how good this team is going to be in 2 or 3 years really gets my blood pumping.

Like our 4th and 5th CBs are youths and they are holding their own in an absolutely critical stretch of a legitimate Scudetto challenge. The experience players like Kalulu and Gabbia are earning right now will pay massive dividends for years to come.

No, I was comparing Krunic to Praet as all around mids with no skill that standout (Praet’s better, obviously) … and I wouldn’t put them In the same category as Verschaerens, who has some of the most sought after qualities in a midfielder/playmaker: Vision/passing.

Giampaolo football leaves very little self expression room for players. It’s a 2-3 touches system. And that’s perfect for not so gifted players. Praet or even Krunic would excel with him… the strength is in the system, which is cool.
Leao and Theo are doing “too much” for him.

We have strength in our system but also use our players individual skills.

Back to Verschae. I don’t think his “passing is good for Belgium” only …passing is universal… now, how much free time you have on the ball to execute is different. but that’s part of the development.
Same with strength. Comes with conditioning and also learning. Even Diaz at the beginning of the season, before his current bad form, showed he could absorb/avoid blows better than last season.
Krunic is better imo. I don't rate Praet that high, he was more like a 2 season wonder.
Verschaerens ability to dribble is even good. He is just 20yrs old. If he's join us, i would probably be his number one fan. But at the moment I want someone who can lift us up immediately.
Salad was sold by Anderlecht for less than 5mil, their finances have become better, last month Marc Coucke refinanced a lot, i can't see them releasing Verschaeren for less than 20mil.
Depending on the vision of club, then we should aim at lower prices, which Yari would fall out of the category.
Buying and selling strategy as Sam pointed, is our way to go.

That said, if he was a bit bulkier we could see a different player.

If you don’t love Pierre Kalulu, then you most likely take baths with your father.

Hopefully Milan lodges a complaint after that. It's absolutely absurd.

Well, I'm afraid that's it for this season... We completely fell apart around 60th minute, you could see we needed Rebić or someone to up the pressing or tempo. As soon as Salad came out, we lost our balance. Yes, ref was bad, but we should burry this kind of games even with Baka-Krunić midfield. Also, Gabbia was very shaky. Pioli shoud've introduced Calabria for Krunić, we lost freshness in the middle of the park and took way longer to recover possesion.
All in all, embarassing.

I already said a few days ago that this league is scripted. And I would say this again that the script would go like :

Keep Milan at second place, wait until the bookmarker go all in to bet for Printer as a champion, and then go with every measure possible to make Milan as the first

We're just shit out of luck. Our full roster is incredibly strong, we just never get to enjoy it. And on top of that we're refereed from 3 to 0 points on nights like this.
