QUOTE (Forza Milan! @ Nov 2 2016, 08:06 PM) We are linked to Bazoer. Any insight on the dude? He turns out great on FIFA (IMG: style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Bazoer? Is he worth that money? Anyone seen him play?

I've seen him play in a few games I watched for Ajax last year. He is a strong physical player. Not a towering player, but strong and fast, a box-to-box with decent vision/ passing abilities. His physicality, and all- around ability remind me a bit of Seedorf. Although I wouldn't really describe him as a recessed playmaker, but a good player to round out the midfield.
He's pretty young with room to grow, I would be excited about this purchase. He won't push the needle in any category of the game, but he could be a good building block.
For me, Yaya is past it. Was always a quality player but between his wages and his age, I think I would prefer a player like Bazoer. If they want to spend the money on a bigger name, I would prefer Cesc or Schweini, either one of those two would bring great quality to the midfield and the team in general.

What's the argument here again? Isn't it obvious? We need both the Yaya's and the Bazoer's. Just remember van Bommel and how useful he turned out to be. We need seasoned leaders, players who can form a backbone to this youthful green team.
I'd prefer Serie A players, but sadly other then perhaps Marchisio (wildest dreams) I don't see a single midfielder that could join us and would be sufficiently good. We have to look elsewhere and try to sing players like Toure, Schweini, etc.

Toure and Bastian would bring in another set of problems that we're all quite familiar with now. High wages, most likely both past their best.
I think we should be looking elsewhere at this point if we really do have the money.
Cesc is one name I'd look at. I'd still like to see us try and push for a Kovacic or heck, even Isco, who's warming the bench at Real. If we have cash, why not go for an honest to god marquee signing to really make a statement. Players who are very experienced but not past their prime is the demo we should be looking at. We should avoid repeating the mistakes of the past in order to try and right those previous said mistakes.
Also, I still think a top CB should be on the agenda. Paletta is simply not reliable. He's a good player, but generally a loose cannon. He was a lucky decision away from getting another red against Palermo and giving them a penalty last Sunday. He just simply doesn't learn. Also, when he or Alessio are out we're in trouble as Gomez and Zapata are our only other options which is far from comforting

I don't get you Han. You say Toure or Schweini would open us up to problems with high wages but Cesc wouldn't?
Look, I don't think we can get past this wage issue. If we're gonna be big again we have to start by building on seasoned stars and splash money on their wages. The stingy wage politic won't bring us anywhere.
As for Kovačić, I think he solidified his position in Madrid and won't be moving anywhere.
