Winter mercato 2021

[mazen111]

The Quality of the top, or top 3, teams does not indicate the quality of the league as a whole. P$G And Bayern Made the Final of the UCL... does that mean the French League and Bundesliga is better than EPL? 

Serie A is most definitely stronger than the Bundesliga... for one, the teams can defend. Case in Point. pretty much every striker that struggles here yet has done well, or goes to do well, in the Bundesliga... all except Piatek of course.


So far... average. But he's young so he's go time on his side.

i would refer it to tactics' burden in italy

werner, firmino, rebic, Mkhitaryan, manduzvic, klose .... proper from bunds then worldwide ... nope bunds is stronger, schalke would win genoa everyday , werder would win torino everyday etc.

We should hope Bennacer and Kessie keep at it and even improve, in that sense will Tonali be a back up for the long term?

I would consider putting Tonali-Kessie together and moving Bennacer to the right.

It's hard because Bennacer-Kessie has been a big success and a reason for ours as a whole. BUT like you say, Tonali isn't going to be bench warmer forever.
Bennacer was on the right for Empoli wasn't he?  I honestly think Benn will be fine anywhere in the midfield but it's risky to break up his tandem with Kessie.

I would not move Bennacer anywhere. It's Tonali who needs to adapt to a new role if anything. Since Bennacer is playing so well, why change what's actually working?

I think one of Bennacers most underrated talents is his passing ability. He doesn't always necessarily give the final pass to count as an assist, but his indirect contributions to a lot of our goals is immense, he makes so many passes that slice open the field for us.

Bennacer is literally a guarantee to become world class even his passing ability is becoming that of a top rated creative mid.

Would strongly encourage everyone to watch this video, his highlights vs Sparta Prague. Literally though he does this in every single game he plays. Funny how he goes relatively unnoticed in world football, even in Italy not every fan knows how good this guy is. You'd watch this video and watch a video of Toni Kroos or other top passers and not think Bennacer is lacking at all in comparison.

Anyhow, my purpose in pointing that out is the fact that Bennacer is absolutely amazing at passing the ball and his range is great. We bought Tonali for that creative role, but tbh I think Bennacer is far better at it, and Tonali might be better at working hard and doing the gritty work.

I will say the same for Salah, Allison, Verratti, Cavani, Ibra, Thiago Silva... Are you comparing UCL team Schalke with Genoa  

The fact that there some players who couldn't able to do in Serie A but were/are good in Bundesliga like RR, Andre Silva, Schick, Coman, Lazaro

but there some played who wasn't impressive in Bundesliga but were/are good in Serie A like Immobile, Kjaer 

I won't act like a Premier League fanboy saying that this is better than that blah blah... but both the leagues have their own strength and weaknesses and the reason I like Serie A because it is more on balanced side but on the otherhand, Bundesliga is just too monotonous to watch. 

And no way Torino will lose out against Werder(if you remove Giampaolo)

[Sleeping Giant]

I agree on ac.micheal that Bennacer should not be disturbed and let him play where he is good at, so Kessie-Benna duo should continue further. I think that Tonali should once be tried at Trequartista, he can replicate Lorenzo Pellegrini imo

[Artan]

yes, bench hakan for the rest of the season, and play tonali and diaz as AMF

relegation battle is their common factor

AC Milan are considering making a move for Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger. (Pellegratti)
