Why is it so hard to wrap your head around the fact that it’s RONALDO. I told you everything revolves around him. You build a team around him. You don’t sacrifice Ronaldo’s position so someone else can play there. Don’t care if it’s Dybala or anyone else.
Ronaldo doesn't play as a number 10, if Dybala was as sensational as to justify been paid more the second highest wage in the league, he better be good enough to justify playing him in apparently the only position he is great at. Whether you bring in Ronaldo or not.
Firstly he plays there for France. I agree there are better players playing next to him but nevertheless he plays there. We will get a better DM to replace Matic but we can only do that next summer cause we have more pressing concerns to fill. Secondly that’s one formation. If we play a diamond, you know cause playing different teams sometimes requires systems to counteract their squad, Pogba won’t be in a midfield two. He will have an extra man in there for defensive support.
but thats next year (if we do sign one next year) in the mean time we are asking Pogba do show defensive disipline which he has struggled with. Not to mention it would certainly limit Pogba.
And yes it one formation, but it means we have to always play a formation that has a number 10. 433 becomes a no no.
If that’s your concern then we should NEVER buy foreigners again. Again how hard is it to wrap your head around the fact that any signing is a gamble for any team. Some workout some don’t. When an exceptional talent like Dybala comes along you take a chance on him.
Their is more of risk bringing players to a new league, thats why transfers between premier league clubs are normally more expensive. The risk is higher, so putting him on such a mental contract is more fool hardy.
Well firstly I don't thin Dybala is an exceptional talent, really good yep, exceptional no for me no, would a club swap an exceptional talent for Lukaku? A really good striker yes exceptional no, Would a club put an exceptional talent on the wing out of position? No.
I would say people made the same exceptional talent argument about Sanchez, saying you can't buy pass a player like that becuase of wages..... People just get overly excited about a big flashy name. You do some times pass on even exceptional talents (which I don't think Dybala is) if its the wrong deal.
He is 25. Age is on his side. Two years from now IF it doesn’t work out there is going to be even more money in football and we can still sell him. Same with Di Maria. He was on high wages. We moved him in 12 months.
Yes but we didn't put Di Maria on the second biggest contract in premier league history. If it doesn't work out we would need wages to rise massively to make him sellable.
Not to mention that if is adding to our ever growing reputation, that we will pretty much pay what ever a player asks. Which is becoming a real problem.
