2020/2021 Midfielders Rumours Thread

Fuck no. Get that virus out of this club.

Pogba got too much too young. He's already on a big contract after a (back then) transfer record fee. He has never shown to be worth that money at United. Best Pogba we've seen was at short tournament (World Cup) and while he was at Juventus, when he didn't yet think he's a super star. And when he had an established team around him, he was just one luxury piece. Not a carry player like he's expected to be now which he absolutely is not.

^ Agreed with all this..

Conte wouldn't play Pogba at all.

..but not with this. Conte would absolutely play Pogba.. but he would suck. And Conte would try to "solve the issue" by bringing in more expensive, 30 year old, EPL workhorse dickheads like Xhaka, Matic or Kante.

Rodrigo De Paul would be great January move for us, with Eriksen leaving and probably Nainngolan.

I'm starting to turn around on De Paul. I thought he was more overpriced mediocrity that Ausilio loves, but at Udinese he's playing for 3 people and essentially saved them from relegation single-handedly last year. Goals, running, passing, he's got a great skill set.

Plus he slapped Candreva last year so :thumbsup:

Not for 30 million.

I want him going to Milan for 12 million + a shit player than us paying 33 million + for him.

We need to learn to sell and buy

I'm not so exited like you about him... He is just an Udinese player from several years....

Why do we need De Paul? If anything he's a natural replacement for someone like Sanchez. We need a true center forward whose primary skill is putting the ball in the back of the net (i.e. not Olivier Giroud).

Cannot think of anyone. But didn't we buy a center forward for 80m not so long ago?

Giroud is probably the closest cf to Ibra in his age group.

I have the same opinion. I was never impressed with De Paul and i never got the facination about him. Anyway, it would be freaking hilarious if we sign De Paul in January as it was Conte who had blocked his move to Inter in 2019.

 

[brehme1989]

De Paul is a player that would increase our depth and provide with more tactical flexibility, but he won't be a starter that elevates us. Still would be welcome, but would be a futile transfer under Conte.

 

[magnesium]

Honesty De Paul is the most improved midfielder in Serie A with Barella.

He become better every year, i was watching Udinese game this season, he is completely different than last season.

 

[Conan the Barbarian]

Rodrigo De Paul ,Jean Musso ,Nikola Milenkovic ,Gaetano Castrovilli ,Erick Pulgar etc.

For all of them a big FUCK NOOOO from me unless if they're not free agents. Don't forget guys ! The players above are belong to Fiorentina or Udinese. These two are the most greedy sons of bitches of Serie A. They always put a ridiculus release price in the transfer market when Inter approach them as a buyer.

Udinese not greedy, Fiorentina is.

In my point of view, Udinese help us with Handanovic deal, and we can't complain if they set high price for their key player.

After their key player gone, it's hard to maintain their position in Serie A .

This is the point! We must buy a top player to put on the field as starter, benching Gagliardini and players like him.

We don't have to pay 30M for a replacement...

I think 30mln is fair price for De Paul. The most important is does he fit in Conte's system?
Enough with gamble like Eriksen.

Giroud must have visited FIF and saw this.

De Paul is much more a natural CM than Eriksen ever was. And Serie A proven. Eriksen was worth a shot. It didn’t work out for a few reasons. I doubt any Spurs fans would be surprised considering how many of them said Eriksen was pretty dreadful towards the end of his tenure with them.

If we were to sing the Argentine, our midfield depth might be enough to carry us to a scudetto. Barella, Brozo, Vidal, De Paul, Gags, Sensi. No other rival can match that.

He's Serie A proven in one of the worst squads in Serie A. And that's the issue with these players. You don't really know if they can be as efficient at a top club. As for De Paul being a more natural CM than Eriksen, he wasn't prior to his time at Udinese. Till then he was used either as a winger or an AM. He started playing as CM when Udinese switched to 3-5-2 and it actually took him a while to adjust to his new position. His first season as a CM was pretty poor. But he was given time to learn the new position and he impoved.

My reservation towards De Paul has mostly to do with the price. Would he improve our squad depth? Absolutely. Is he good enough to be a starter? I don't think so. I would be willing to spend 20-25m in this market but certainly not 35-40m Udinese have been asking.

 

[Goldenboyv88]

That's the point! You are talking about a player that is the star for a fucking shitty Udinese club!

Playing for Inter is hugely different! We've seen a lot of fucking players doing the stars in shitty clubs coming to Inter to fail miserably!

De Paul could be the next one. No thanks.

 

[junior55]

He starts for Argentina too ffs. Don't make it sound like he is playing for Lecce in Serie C and has no international experience.

Like the likes of Berardi , the more he stays at a low level club the more he loses from his potential but i have no doubt that he would be ready to be an Inter player
