Do you know your Pjanic is on my foot?

If true that we are now bidding for Pjanic, I guess Pep really isnt looking for as defensive of a midfielder, to replace Fernandinho, as I was thinking. Maybe the Ferna replacement is a window away.

I do believe Pep will sit Fernandinho in games we dominate possession and keep him fresh for others. A Pjanic type midfielder playing behind KDB and the Silvas sounds about right when we’re trying to pick through a bus.

Pjanic is the type of player we need when teams press as well. He has good 1 touch passing, but can also play through balls that will cut through a press. This is what I think we were hoping for with Jorginho. Pjanic has excellent vision to spot a though ball. We all love Fern, but he does lack in this department.

well, he plays as a regista with juve, same as pirlo used to and jorginho did at napoli, dont believe the deal is getting done tho, juve is asking too much although they need to make money due to the heavy investment they made so far

Where has this rumor come from? Does this have any substance?

Fernandinho is very quick to spot a through ball and has executed some beautiful passes last season to set up goals and counterattacks. I think we're looking for someone who is better in tight spaces, can retain possession and take opposition players out of the equation when they press high up.

just rumours mate....Italian press reported we had a bid rejected, I dont think there is much substance to any of these reports. I think all these names now getting mentioned as we missed on Jorginho. I would like to see us sign another DM but so far only rumours.

Thiago makes way more sense than Pjanic
