QUOTE (Forza Milan! @ Aug 6 2016, 08:46 AM) Linked with Isco, Cuadrado, and even Witsel. Isco would be a dream pick up. With Isco and Cuadrado I think we'd be in pretty decent shape for the season.

QUOTE (X-Offender @ Aug 6 2016, 03:20 PM) Why not? Because he's a second-rate midfielder who's vastly overrated just because he plays in a sexy and fancy NT. The last Euro proved what I've already suspected. A 27 year old midfielder who plays at Zenith, limited vision and capabilities, usually just running up and down like Flamini used to for us. I think he'd be a waste of space and time, since we already have Poli and Kučka. We need a marquee player, some like Bastian, Kovačić, Cuadrado or Valero. Not Witsel IMO.

Also, I'd prefer Kovacic over Isco, I think he'd fit in better in Montella's midfield.
Imo, we need someone to replace all 3 of our current starting mids. Berto, Monto and Kucka could be good rotation players, but they're not good enough to be starting. Imo we needs all of Witsel, Bastian and Kovacic for that midfield 3 and I honestly think it's do-able, at this point I would forget about Cuadrado and just sign these 3
We can probably get Bastian on a free as Mourinho has basically shunned him from his squad. Kovacic I'm thinking we can get him for a loan + obligation for around 25m (when the cash comes in) and Witsel would be an upgrade on Kucka but someone we'd have to put money upfront for. And I sort of agree with Fillipo on this one. I don't think Witsel is as great as some might think he is. He's farily one dynamic and doesn't offer much but the players who I'd love to have to fill in a box-to-box role in our midfield (Radja, Matuidi, Sissoko, etc) would be out of our reach.

QUOTE (X-Offender @ Aug 6 2016, 05:56 PM) Don't get your hopes up, Han. Berto, Kucka and Monto will probably be our starting mids next season, unless we get someone decent on loan. We'll see. Problem is, Montella's system relies heavily on creative, dynamic mids. So if those 3 remain as is for the starting trio, we'll have problems. Bigger than last season as Miha was mostly able to grind out a couple of results by by-passing the midfield and playing a rigid 4-4-2, something Montella won't be able/willing to do

Just as I suspected, by selling Pogba Juventus took a step back at their goals.
