And deleting the ones that don't work out, too. 3 years ago they were ripping Gundogan to shreds and last year they were fawning all over him. Easy gig.
To be fair, Gundogan probably changed a lot of peoples opinions of him last year. He had a great season and showed something I didn't know he had in his game.

This.

A CB who is good in a back 3 and average in a back 4...bought to play in a back 4. It's the exact same backwards thinking that led to us buying Doherty.

The other reason it makes no sense is that Coady and Romero are both best playing in the middle of a back 3, so even if we do switch to that formation one of them won't even be in their best role.

It would be typical that instead of snapping up one of Wolves best talents like Neto or Neves we sign Connor Coady wouldn't it.

Is Dybala available? Did he sign a new contract, last I remember he only has a year left?

Surely Paratici would be all over that opportunity?

If Dybala leaves Juve he'll have a lot better suitors than us, unfortunately. The time to get him was 2019.

But it looks like he'll be signing a new deal very soon, Allegri loves him.

Considering how useful the Fabio/Juve connection has proven to be for us concerning Romero I doubt whether Fabio would even consider an approach for Dybala and ruffle Allegri's feathers.
I believe the expression you would use over there is "You don't shit in your own backyard" :)

Will he though?

Spanish clubs can't afford him, inter are screwed, Milan couldn't afford him, no chance PSG come in for him. Which leaves English clubs, city we know won't, Chelsea are getting Lukaku, United have Sancho and greenwood for that position.

Which only really leaves Liverpool and us. Paratici will know all about this possibility, but we will probably run into third party issues again.

I think the more important question is do we want him? Apparently he hasn't had a great season and was not even picked for the Copa America. A big name, but maybe one on the decline.

Same thing effectively but FYI it's "Don't shit on your own doorstep" ??

What do we need lads?

RB, CF, CDM?

Tough to accomplish with outs and INS in three weeks......

Fab needs to complete around 10 deals in 3 weeks (Ins/Outs)

He needs to start shaking it all about.

Unrealistic expectations, no?

Surely that amount of turnover will further disrupt and unsettle his plans for the season. Harold ain't helping either....
