Why not Simeone,barco and paz? This team nead fresh and young players
Molina might be the best RB we’ve had since Zanetti. Is that an exaggeration? I don’t think so, I’d take him over even prime Zabaleta. Why? Because he gives you options, he overlaps like the classic flying fullbacks of old, he crosses the ball well, he can beat his man, he’s quick. More importantly, how many modern fullbacks can score from distance they way he does? Scoring in general, he’s the most prolific RB we had in terms of goal scoring ability. Sure, he might not be amazing defensively, but he’s not that bad in that department either. At 28 years old, he’s still in his prime or at least the tail-end of the physical prime when ability and experience converge at the best possible rate.
