Has he ever actually played as the main striker? I’ve never seen it. He looks a second/ shadow/ withdrawn striker - Del Piero, Recoba, Bergkamp et al. The likes of Messi and Totti were wonderful starting as the line leader but it’s seldom that suitable. The idea of using Dybala from there seems very similar to using him off the right - starting him in a position he is not comfortable with and hoping he can effectively move into the areas that he likes to operate in.

Thats after taxes
Give him the number 7 shirt off the dog walker.
So now it's Dybala's turn!
I don't think we will have to pay 35-40 mil on top of Lukaku, but I wouldn't be against it.
So, they will solve it by playing Ronaldo - Lukaku? Can't see it.
Think they are playing along as they would he happy with Inter paying up.
I'd take that. Alexis isn't worthy of wearing the number 7 shirt, we have had a problem filling it properly since Ronaldo left. Maybe Dybala is the one worthy of wearing it.
This could be a ploy to get Inter to pay up for Lukaku. Offering Dybala for Lukaku is plain silly imo.
Been saying this for a while now. He gets to float about and play under little pressure as he's playing for the hugely strongest side in the league. I dont see any major strengths to him, he's very much an Anna Kournikova of a player; looks good but rarely dominates.
I think they might see him as the new Mandzukic. Please note that Sarri played with fat Higuian upfront at Napoli
At Palermo.
I wouldn't trust another Argentine wearing that shirt
All hypothetical though. Never happening.
Shouldn't he (or any other player) earn the #7 shirt? I'd rather no one have it for a year and then hand it to whoever performs the best over just handing it over to whoever walks in.
Where did you get this information from please?
Its either that or Juve want to run conte's nose in their money. The guy left Juve because he thought of them being skint. He has now moved to their enemies (they hate inter more then we hate Liverpool). What's better way to piss him off by taking his main target, the same player he wanted since his time at Chelsea ??
Conte is no different to Mou in terms of drama. Juve might ruin inter's season with this
I think that is a great suggestion. It just seems whoever gets it is unworthy of filling it. So I think that could definitely work
A player who has no space in this iteration of the game. That’s exactly what we need.
If we decided to afford to have a luxury No.10 in our lineup, then Mata would be a better option.
No he won't. Mata is cooked.
The last time Mata had a great season was when he was still at Chelsea. I don't understand the obsession for him.
All salaries in Italy, Spain, etc are usually published after tax.
I dont like him. Id prefer to give Mata proper time and continuity as a nummer 10. He clearly has an eye for through balls and can pop in with a few goals with his positional awareness. He’s also a tidy finisher.
I don’t think Dybala would do well here. Higher risk than usual he’ll have settling in/cultural problems. Also concerns about his physicality.
He’s best suited to playing as a 10 which we don’t really use and he’s average on the wings.
Would much rather have the money from inter and we get Maguire.

Dybala would be comfortably good cutting in from the right wing. My one concern is if his style of play can survive the physicality of the premier league or if he gets pushed around too much.
Player salaries in Italy and Spain are reported as net not gross, a quick Google search will tell you that too.

There is a tab that let's you see gross salaries, click on it and you will his full salary
I’m certain in all pre season games we played 4-2-3-1. Mata, Lingard, Pereira all played that role.
Would rather have Dybala than the Glazers having 80m in the bank to withdraw. Unless the money is set aside for Maguire, then would rather have Maguire in. Can't figure out why we haven't shifted on a couple of defenders already, Rojo, Jones, Darmian to name a few. Use the funds from that for Maguire and swap Lukaku for Dybala and we will be in a lot better shape for the season ahead.
Dybala for Lukaku? Can't believe Juventus are offering this deal... smells like an intentional leak to drive prices up. Juve won't deny it as Inter are a direct rival.
Let's just take the cash.
He's got a great left peg but i'd rather not block the route or Pereira/Greenwood/Gomes.

Gomes can play all across the midfield. In fact, Butt prefers him as the pivot.
He would probably only be competing with Greenwood from that lot. I think whoever plays as a false 9/striker would be in more danger, so Lingard and Rashford i guess, maybe Martial at a stretch.
Consistently? He obviously did well there. What kind of set up - formation, kind of players around him?
Considering it's been reported we'll go for Moussa Dembele to replace Lukaku, I think I'm game for this. His low numbers last season were seemingly down to the Ronaldo factor. A year ago he was seen as one of the world's best forwards.
Dybala isn't a leading line striker he's a 10. Gomes is a 10 who can play left wing also, but not where he's best.
Unless we plan on using a 3 man midfield with Gomes as the CDM playmaker, he would definitely take up an attacking slot Gomes could use.
The truth is somewhere in the middle. Dybala isnt a 10, like Özil is a 10. Dybala is on paper maybe a 10, but plays further up the pitch. He is more a second striker or false 9, someone that also drifts to the right in games if the middle is too clouded. He isnt competing with Gomes at all, not from the qualities they bring and where best to use them.
Gomes couldnt play as a second striker or false 9, where Dybala is best suited. Obviously if we play with a second striker, this means the 10 position is gone for that one, but if Dybala played as a false 9, Gomes could play behind, so there would be space for both of them.
Dybala only makes sense if we know how to build a squad. Gomes could theoretically be gone next year if he doesnt get chances now and Ole might think he needs time. Or Dybala could be the reason he will leave at the end of the season. Depends on what we plan if we have something like that going on.
Didn’t know that, that’s great news with his new role now. Will definitely get a chance there, not just shunted out to the wing.
He is a natural second striker, and that is the problem. He operates closer to goal than midfield, and isn't very flexible like Firmino or Bernando who are capable of leading the line or playing from the wing. Bringing in Dybala would mean effectively committing to a two-striker system, and I don't see how that is going to work with our lack of wingers and with Pogba in the squad as one of the central midfielders.
No, this is precisely the kind of opportunity we could afford to miss out on. Liverpool didn't go all out signing players that wouldn't fit into their team. Dybala is the kind of luxury signings you consider when you already have a well balanced team.
Thanks for letting me know this
