Even Vieri said that Benatia was best CB in Serie A.

Are you guys for real? Benatia is better than Bonucci, Chiellini or Barzagli. You would trade any of them in a second for him, don't even joke. Boateng and Pique are overrated.

Then you haven't seen them at all.

Benatia is better than any of Juventus' defenders. The rest are fair game.

3-5-2 stabilizes the defence, but it kills the offensive creativity of the team. It's almost impossible to do anything offensively in these big games unless the other team plays with a very high defensive line.

I see the same arguments made for Cavani here, that one could make for Mario Gomez. No one here realizes since the team plays without wingers, the strikers need to be extra creative to compete at the top.

That's not the issue. The issue is, is he worth spending every last penny the club has, or are there better and cheaper options? A player like Higuain is more creative and has scored 20+ goals for a top club, and not just middle table team on a lucky run like Napoli. Cavani does not have 40...

I still think Cavani is a bad idea. He's a physical player, and physical players decline early. He's already 28. He's got, what? 2 seasons at peak form, which he hasn't reached since Napoli? Paying 40-50m for a physical 28 year old who has less creativity in his body than Lichtsteiner. And he...

Cavani is way too expensive for just an upgrade on #9 position. If 40-50 million are spent, you want a player who can also create for others, in addition to scoring. Higuain is money much better spent. About a year younger and much more versatile.

It's about spending smart not just about earning. Juventus also have the prestige teams like Liverpool and Arsenal don't have at the moment.

Cavani has 1 assist in the league, Lichtsteiner 4, Higuain 7, Tevez 7, Benzema 10, Suarez 15. Cavani plays in the weakest out of all the leagues. Even if you believe that playing in the wing (which he only plays a part of the time) is harming his goals. What's harming his assists? Tevez is a...

Lichtsteiner has 4 times the number of assists Cavani has in the league. Enough said.

Higuain went to Napoli because of CL and Benitez. Both of which are faint possibilities next season. Juventus and Arsenal are frontrunners imo.

Too many people have a world class image of Napoli's Cavani in their head. Go on the PSG board's and see how much they want Cavani to leave. The guy went like 3 months without scoring in the league. Guy can't deliver day in and out for a top team.

Benzema in a hypothetical world, but if Napoli don't make CL, Higuain is leaving. Higuain can create for others, unlike Cavani.

Both Cavani and Lewandowski are overrated and wasteful as shit. Their performances don't live up to their names. Lewandowski is a better passer than Cavani, but Cavani provides more tenacity and physicality. It will be next to impossible to find Tevez' heir. I think snapping Higuain from...

Letting Pogba go without getting Verratti is pure stupidity. If Juve can get Gungdogan, it's different. But without having a one for one replacement, that money's not worth it.

Modric out, Benzema out, Bale injured. Take Ronaldo out and Juventus is a better team. With Ronaldo it's even.

A bit weird this match up. If juventus sits back on the counter, they're not making great use of their midfield, which is arguably the strongest point. But making use of their midfield, would mean a more attacking minded approach, and will expose the individual quality of defenders in comparison...

Yeah, you're right. I was using estimates for winning CL/EL rather doing the raw calcs. By that account England would still have about 0.8 points ahead of Italy after this season.
