The only reason we got him was down to Sarri coming here. Others want CL football, unless we offer big bucks. If you target young players you don’t have this problem. If you target lewandovski. You have a problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akgw13 867 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 He is a wonderful player, but so similar to Jorginho that a midfield of Pjanic/Jorginho/Kante would be wonderful but woefully lack the goals we need. If we were willing to offer that amount of money and with Lazio being interested in Pedro it would hypothetically be worth a run at Milinkovic-Savic. I suspect once Golovin comes in we will be finished our midfield spending though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoSalah 8,887 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Only if Cesc leaves and Golovin doesn't sign will there be a possibility this happens. He is a great player, maybe has a reputation as a bit of a luxury player in a way too but he'd still be a great signing no doubt about it. Really wanted us to get him before he went to Roma in all fairness, would have been a fantastic long term move back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvin123 539 Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Pjanic is a 3-way auction. It can start for €80 million. Chelsea [who also wants Higuain and Rugani], City [Guardiola has called him] and Barcelona are all chasing the Bosnian. Rabiot could replace him. #CFC #FCB #Juventus #MCFC (Gazzetta dello Sport) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeboii 1,844 Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Do we really need him? I would have loved to take him a few years ago, but now with Jorginho I don't think we need Pjanic. Also, a midfield of Pjanic, Jorginho and Kanté looks very small with Jorginho the tallest at 1.80 cm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,980 Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 First of all, isn't the rumored fee being talked about over 80m? No chance we pay that sort of fee. Secondly, he plays in the same role as Jorginho, doesn't he? We need an advanced midfielder. Someone who will aggressively attack and penetrate defenses. Pjanic is more of a creator like Jorginho I think. A controller rather than an aggressor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,178 Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 This would be an insane bit of business. Can actually see us shipping Baka out on loan and selling Drinkwater to make room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt Jorginho said no to Manchester City to sit on our bench. Kanté is untouchable. Of course if we would get Pjanic then we would probably be resistant to any sort of pressing from other teams! We would also have to rely heavily on the striker and wingers since I doubt Pjanic, Jorginho and Kanté would score 20 goals per season together. I just don't get this move. I rather think buying Golovin would make much more sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as we are APPARENTLY right now trying to get 3 players from Juve can we see us going for a 4th? Get Savic and make my century. Would give us the best CM in the world.
