Fernando 6,586 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Yeah I agree. If we need to pay a world record fee like Pogba I wouldn't mind....although to be fair those world record fees are mostly reserve for scorers, like Ronaldo, Suarez and such.

bluesman2610 1,423 Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Apparently unhappy with treatment he is getting from Unai Emery @ PSG . Now may be the best time to have Conte and Luiz tap him up under the radar of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLyon 9,359 Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 He wants to win CL with Paris, so I think it would be difficult to take him. Unless Psg does realy poor, Im not sure he will go soon. Luiz and especially Conte might be great plus tho, if we start playing realy well.

That's never a reason to not be considered the best at position such as cm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the wes 7,212 Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Inter Milan have joined the race for PSG midfielder Marco Verratti, according to Gazzetta dello Sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rekin 835 Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Marco has for a long time been my dream signing. I think the current formation, and pursuit of Nainggolan suggests what Conte wants in the midfield. I looked at the defensive stats of the current player next to Kante, the alternative in the squad, and two signings that could take that place next season (yes, the seasons differ. It is so that we can see how they have played during a full season more than anything). Judging by the statistics, I think it is fair to say that Verratti is no slouch when it comes to defending. He is very comparable to Nainggolan, although there might be a significant difference in physicality there. The way we play now, Matic has a lot of the ball and is often passing directly. He is also often breaking up plays and countering. He has done it well to be fair, but I dont know if Matic has any particular tools that I think Marco is without. The problem with Fabregas was that he was not tenacious enough, often able to simply be dribbled past since he was too slow to recover. Marco is faster, and has that stocky build that Aguero also has which makes him less of a pushover. I think that a midfield with Verratti and Kante could compete with any other in the world, without sacrificing too much defensive strength. Considering Matic is an important part of the build-ups now, imagine having a passing master in his place. EDIT: Seems the formatting doesnt work. It was a comparison between Nainggolan, Verratti, Fabregas and Matic, where it can be seen that Matic and Verratti have comparable stats in the defense, while Marco blows Matic out of the water in the offense and passing.

the wes 7,212 Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 He's one of the best midfielders in the world, and plays a little bit in the same way as I tried to do with Barcelona and the national team. He likes having the ball. He also has perfect mastery over long and short passing, he can play the final ball, and he doesn't lose the ball that easily. He's really a very high-class player." —Xavi on Verratti in 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El P. 1,354 Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 It would be pity if we would drop Matić because of him. Verratti is better, for sure, but Matić is also great. But, I would rather drop Matić than play 3-5-2 with Matić - Kante - Verratti, that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand it's always nice to have depth ... midfield of Kante, Verratti, Matić, Chalobah and Baker would be worldclass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
