We've been discussing this in the old Serie A thread. Let's move convo here


Gabbia to Villareal almost done. Loan without option


On the surface this doesn't make any sense. We should be selling him outright. But apparently Villareal needed a defender and this is probably being done to sweeten the Chukwueze deal.


Hopefully Gabbia has a good season and we can sell him off for around 10m next summer.

Musah Here we go according to Romano.


Not sure about this one. Would have preferred a traditional DM. Can't believe we're going into the season with Krunic as our starting DM. This has facepalm written all over it considering all the good work we've done

I'm sure Musah has a lot of upside but I'm seriously worried about our defence getting continually exposed. Especially considering we have a difficult start to the season

I'm pretty sure Pioli and the management know what they're doing here. They're well aware that we are exposed in that DM position until Bennacer gets back. Either we'll sign another mid or Musah will play there.

But I agree that we are too exposed. I saw a few moments from the Madrid game, and RLC was being played as AM with Krunic and Pobega in CM. I think it's time we dropped this 4-2-3-1 system and adopted a fully fledged 4-3-3. We have the right players for it. Play Musah as holding him (or sign someone else), RCL and Reijnders on the sides, Leao and Chukwueze/Pulisic on the wings.
