  1. I agree there aren’t too many options in the right side. Gianluca prestianni is another option but it’s better to have surplus than less option. Dimaria, Ocampos and probably Messi won’t be around. So Scaloni should start having alternative options.
    Dybala, Angel Correa won’t be around past Copa 2024. I strongly believe team will need top younger players who can bring pace and energy to the game.

  2. Keeping Soule waiting for over a year while calling likes of bounanonte to the team signals wrong message. Bounanonte has not played single minute in EPL in about 6 matches.
    I slightly disagree with Roy when he say this young players should be patient. A player at 21 is no longer young. Likes of Gavi, Lamine Yamal have been integrated to the NT at young age.
    Apart from Nico Gonzalez, Soule is outperforming even Garnacho. I agree with the rest, Scaloni should not risk having Soule hijacked by Italy NT.

  4. At the momment soule is much much better than garnacho he has skills to be a play maker, can score goals and take FK where as garnacho only has pace, if we lose soule to italy thats gonna hurt us for next 10-12 years sure

    Soule is better allround player we cant lose him
    Also these injuries are sign that we cant trust old players for long

      • I used to over defend Dybala, but I think it’s high time Scaloni forget about him. He can’t contribute even 25% of what Messi is doing at 36. I watch most Roma matches and for me Dybala has become too slow and very lazy.

    • SURE! Soule is better and useful than Garnacho right now. Garnacho has speed but not that good at one on one and shooting only proven on the left . Soule is all round can be both side wingers and attacking midfield . He is more skillful and creative ,actually i dont think soule lack of speed .

      personally i think only zeballos (boca) and soule are eligible to be our next right winger.

      though scaloni may think it is enough left side (gonzalez,garnacho),right side(messi,ocampos). i still hope either soule or zeballos can get the call up

  5. it seems scaloni won’t made any replacement for dybala . Training will start soon ,to be honest Soule may not in the radar of scaloneta at the moment .

    Let’s hope he won’t join italia national team as Mateo Retegui did . Next year Di maria will retire ,at the moment Ocampos is the player in their mind to replace .Then may be Bounanotte it depends on if he develops or not in EPL

  7. We are in a spot now. With Dybala, Licha, Messi (he was back against Cicinatti but did not look fit at all), Foyth, Di Maria, A Correa in the list of injuries, the others need to pull up their socks and show their mettle. Lionel Scaloni should have plans B, C ready. I am more worried about the November matches against the tougher opponents. But even in October the matches are not going to be smooth. Miguel Almiron is in great form. Last year he did good for Paraguay against us. And the Peru is an away match.

      • Exactly:

        ….. Lautara…..
        Nico….. Alvarez

        Is not a shabby attack at all.

        My main concern post copa america is finding players that can break the lines and deep parked bua defenses. Currently its Messi and Dimaria, when they are gone we will have to worry.

  9. ONLY 3 WINGERS ,LEFT WINGERS:GONZALEZ,GARNACHO, RIGHT WINGERS: OCAMPOS. IN TERMS OF MESSI ISNT 100% FIT AND BOTH DYBALA,A CORREA ARE OUT,GARNACHO MAY NEED MORE TIMES TO MATURE. IT IS BETTER BRING IN ANOTHER WINGER OR ATTACKING MIDFIELD . SOULE IS THE PERFECT CANDIDATE ,IF NOT I DOUBT HIS CHANCE IN NEXT WORLD CUP.

    IT SEEMS BOUNANOTTE IS IN FRONT OF SOULE ,BUT I THINK IT IS THE WRONG DECISION .SOULE HAS THE TALENT TO BE A WORLD CLASS PLAYER .IT IS BETTER TO BRING HIM IN ASAP

  11. Just wonder Does scaloni ever watch how Soule play this season ? His statistics in Serie A is superb, even Spalletti follows him . When Dimaria ,Dybala ,Angel Correa are injured why not give him a chance ?

  12. It should be Matias Soule ,similar position, great talent ,100% fit . If Garnacho can be why not Soule .But in reality it will be Facundo Bounanotte . despite he is Raw , unproven and lack of playing times in EPL .

  13. He should count his blessings he actually played in a world cup and he is a champion.. i feel sorry for this guy.. and his penalty in that shootout was a heart in mouth shot…
