think if he goes anywhere it might be to chelsea.
His Xavi-like pass for Lucas's goal. Beautiful.
If he's on the move we should be all over it. I don't care if we have too many midfielders. For a player of this calibre, you make room for him.
Many have argued that we no longer needed the controller type of midfielders any more, certainly not when Luis Enrique is in charge. But I'd say it has been proven in so many games that our midfield's turmoil is rooted in not having that controller midfielder. Will Gomes become one in the future? I have my doubts.
Of all the young midfielders we have(not including the prospects), they are all more or less in the same age group as Verratti and nowhere close to him. IDGAF what Lucho wants and neither should the club. You don't sign a dozen Iborras just because Lucho want so or wait for Rafinha and Denis or Gomes to perhaps, perhaps develop into a player of Marco's level. You don't have Messi for eternity. You sign Verratti if he's available and do everything in the World to get him. Get Xavi, Iniesta to pitch in and convince him. Anything.
We messed up not getting Modric. Are we going to mess this one up too if he becomes available? We better not. Or else we'll be watching the guy tearing it up at another team and look at him the same way we look at Modric in Madrid. Perhaps he'll even join Modric in Madrid if we don't try to sign him.
He's not going anywhere, stop dreaming about him.
