There is a lot of crazy MLS rules that I can spend all day explaining but, I will just briefly explain this one. MLS has a salary cap but, to incentives teams using their academies teams are allowed to sign players who have spent some time in their academies to "homegrown" contracts that do not count against the cap.
This is strange if it really leads to Dybala going out. I mean why?
We should go for Dybala, he always talk about playing back with Paul because he wants Paul to come back.
We could just take him and play him on the right
.Malcom ain't that good. He's certainly not good enough for Barca.The feck are Barca smoking with this ? Signing Willian a lot is fine but thrown a young talent as Malcom for a 30 years old ?
Interesting stuff mate, would you agree that Isco slows the game down? Can't say I've noticed that.
Yes, he likes to keep the ball, he "chews" the play a lot, he turns and turns again, he passes short,the ball back to him, small dribbing, turn again...
Here Modric complaining in the middle of the match "ehh, pass a bit, pass the ball, don´t do that"
In any case it does not have to be necessarily bad. In fact his presence transformed Madrid, with the debate of whether the 4-3-3 was sustainable in the elite matches.
What is Malcom then?
They think they can sell him for more than 60 million? That’s what they offered last summer.
Dybala and Pogba together again
He's only 21. He's going to improve. Replacing a 21 years old player with a 30 years old one who is past his peak doesn't make any sense.
Do you prefer young players not good enough yet to get minutes or slightly older players that could make a big impact on a title race? Because they're two different signings with the exception of less than a couple of players.
You're also putting the carriage before the horse here. The mistake we've been making is just buying players without concern for fit let alone a cohesive football style. Let's get the DOF, get back to our roots of attacking football and then fill the roster to suit. Til then I'm happy with Malcolms and De Ligts going to Spain and sitting on the bench. I mean, could you imagine either of them under Mourinho? It'd be such an incredible waste. So given that we've finally made that big managerial change and seeing football with a purpose let's remember that it has been not even half a dozen games. So truly no need to fret. Save it for the summer .
Very interested to hear why you feel this way, are you talking about those recordings?
He’s the first player I’d think of when it comes onto holding on to the ball for too long.
Where would you play Isco? I love him as a player, but he wouldn't fit anywhere for us in our best 11
He's completely right. I think we seriously botched his development. Remember him at Malaga or his first couple months with us, what a player he was and what he could have been
Btw it's a strange situation, Isco is obviously appreciated by Paratici as well but he is the one obsession of Allegri(ever since the milan-malaga CL clashes), who, if rumours are to be believed, might be our coach next season
We'd probably have to commit to a diamond. Similar to Zidane's Madrid.
This is strange if it really leads to Dybala going out. I mean why?
We should go for Dybala, he always talk about playing back with Paul because he wants Paul to come back.

Maybe its because dybala wants to leave / is leaving?
As for signing him, thats the dream, absolutely love dybala. And just fyi i signed him on fm18 for united and he was a beast. Meant i played pogba in a midfiel 2 but i won thr champions league so don't believe he can't play there caf, he just needs thr right management!
Pretty sure there was a quote floating around in the last few months where someone asked Ronaldo about Marcelo and Isco being linked to Juventus and Ronaldo responded something like, ‘yeah it’s aleays good to sign top class players like Marcelo’ and completely ignored the Isco part.
Or a silly way of funneling money to Joorabchain.
Sarri, Jose, Conte and the Brazil manager seem to rate Willian, as does Valverde apparently. So does the Chelsea board. Maybe they just want what he has to offer. On top of that, maybe Malcom is just shite.
I find this kind of honesty refreshing. Rather than releasing vague quotes in a behind the scenes media battle, come right out and say the reason you haven’t signed yet. Makes me respect him more IMO, and as a fan it would be nice to know what is actually going on.
I reckon he has the ability to play deeper. I was thinking of him and Pogba mirroring KDB and D. Silva. I don't think his output justifies using him as one of the front three. Only thing is that we'd need a much more mobile DM than Matic.
Yes, I am sure we would love to swap Pogba for Douglas Costa.
How reliable are Tuttosport usually? Judging from the font in their 'header', they look like they're about as reliable as SHOOT magazine.
It's the kind of font you'd put on an invitation to a kids birthday party.

Douglas Costa + 250 million.
Nah, it's the sort of font used on an invitation that your kid receives to a birthday party, leading you to wonder whether or not to send them because the parents of the birthday kid are clearly mental.

Clickbait bullshit, Juve are willing to offer Costa, we aint asking.
Man we should make MEN print out some stuff like these Italian papers do.
'Manchester United continue to insist on Dybala but Juventus seek Ashley Young in return but United unwilling to let go of their priced asset'
'Juventus to bid 250 million plus Dybala for Fellaini, but United determined to keep hold of the Belgian '

Man United seek Costa.. right
See I was thinking this as well.
We could have Guardiola as manager but until the first 11 players improve we are never going to win anything of merit.
Yes buy players we need, buy players that suit a system we want to play and a the manager’s style. I’m not saying spend £100m just because we have the money there but surely there are targets we could have bought both in the summer and this transfer window. The money hasn’t been spent and I’m constantly seeing players that would improve our team go to rivals (mainly foreign) for money I wouldn’t call ridiculous.
Yes, I am sure we would love to swap Pogba for Douglas Costa.
Binning Dybala and bagging Icardi would be a power play. Not sure how he fits with Ronaldo, though.
But does Costa play lcb or Rcb
Yes, I am sure we would love to swap Pogba for Douglas Costa.
How would Inter be able to afford Dybala? Juve want around £110m don't they? Inter can't afford that without something fishy going on.
Can we offer Darmian for Dybala. Seems reasonable
Yes, I am sure we would love to swap Pogba for Douglas Costa.
What a load of utter drivel.
We should be looking at Dybala .
