He should be our priority but since the competition for his signature seems fierce, Fabian Ruiz can be our plan B.

Pastore is still very good whenever he plays. Injuries are theonly concern, he will be way better than the likes of Brozo and Mario at CAM
It's so frustrating how Suning wasted 75m on Mario and Gabigol... With that money we could have gotten Pastore, Verdi, and a decent cb. FUCK Suning and FFP
He plays as a midfielder for the national team. He wasn't even a standout performer in Portugal's Euro campaign, never understood why we shelled out 40m for this player
Kondogbia is playing very well at the moment so Valencia will probably buy him outright regardless of what happens with Cancelo.
Cancelo has been injured for a while and hasn't started a single game yet so I think he should be given some time
This man is an absolute beast; dominant in the air, pretty good with his feet, can play as a defensive midfielder, doesn't commit unnecessary fouls
His concentration and distribution could use some improvement though.
He will be easily worth more than 40m at the end of the season
He played okay, I'd give him a 6. He offers a physical presence in midfield and wins many aerial duels. I think Spalletti wants to play him as a DM, since he doesn't seem to join the attack and take shots from distance like he used to under Pioli.
Spallletti specifically requested that we sign Vecino. He's an all-round midfielder who can pass, dribble, and take long shots. He's not as good on the ball as Valero but he's still quite decent and can contribute to protecting the back four as his defensive skills improved during the past two...
I'm guessing we got 5m for him, I don't see any reason as to why we would put a 20% sell-on clause considering that he's 30 years old. But with Ausilio anything is possible...
