I absolutely loved this guy from the moment he stepped on the pitch. Remember having the same feeling with Morata. This kid is an amazing signing by Marotta. Well done.

Should be sold this summer, clearly. Sell, bring a CB/RB

I'm very surprised, never thought we would actually make a difference. And he's definitely making it.

He will be the best CF in the world in around 3 years I believe. Already a top 5 to me. Or maybe top 3.

He was playing better than most people say, IMO. His first touch, movement and build up was good. Only problem is there is a guy who is better than him, and that's Morata. But it doesn't take Mandzukic qualities away. It just means he should be a rotation player, not a starter.

His planning was bad, but something can't be denied: him and his staff (Paratici & co) have a great ability to sign quality players. That's what matter most, obviously. Morata and Pereyra last season, Rugani (before any other club 2 years ago), Lemina, Sturaro. They have a great eye for talent...

Good posts about his acceleration/agility/ability to dribble and pass through his man. He definitely hasn't done that much, and it's much more his characteristic dribbling and driving in short spaces, something more valuable than that.

But it's a principle that we must always have at least 4 Italian players as fixed starters, and the base of Italian National team. Young guys with this potential.. that's Rugani, Romagnoli, Verratti, Florenzi, maybe Bernardeschi and Darmian. Should definitely have gone for Darmian.

I'm a bit worried by the lack of Italian talent and of Italians at Juve. Right now our starting 11 (counting on Marchisio) has 5 Italians, all defenders, none of them young. Buffon 37, Bonucci 28, Chiellini 31, Barzagli 34, Marchisio 29. Chiellini may decline pretty soon, Barzagli God knows...

I'm already pumped for this. Most important game of the first semester of the season, BY FAR. Win this shit, that's all I ask. Put themselves where they belong, lower their inflated moral, give us the boost we need. If we don't win the league this season I'm OK with it, as long as we contend...

Pretty much. Allegri found a starting team, that's great. Mandzukic will have to ride the bench, I really hope Allegri doesn't try to insert him in the lineup because of his status/salary, even though I don't think he did as poorly in the past games as people say. I thought he was fine in build...

Positive: - extremely hardworking; - helps defending / marking / tracing back; - clearly has a lot of will; - decent to good stamina; - very intelligent, fairly mature for his age; - good decision making; - great passing; - very good vision; - great left foot; - willing passer (team...

Hmm just rethinking about this. Morata seems to be a reasonable guy. Madrid also can buy him back in 2017. Maybe he could pass this year thinking about 2017. But till then, Ronaldo possibly will have become Madrid's full time CF. And I don't think Morata would want to be a CF backup at...

Morata is only staying if these conditions are all simultaneously met: - 4/5M contract renewal with Juve; - Fixed starter of the team at the position he likes the most - CF; - Contending in CL, reaching semis; - Madrid signing Aguero; - Italian girlfriend (kind of a joke, but not really)...

I agree. But Dybala and Morata had no other option but to float back, because they had to occupy the space that was normally of Pogba. Because Pogba had to have a more conservative approach (good decision by Allegri), there wasn't anyone to really link midfield and attack, so they had to drop...

I'm saying that opposed to what I thought, and to what Allegri and Marotta have puclicly said, he doesn't really take Allegri's needs as a priority when deciding what players to sign. Another evidence of this is the fact that Allegri has said many times that Dybala is a prima punta. Basically...

Me too, it would be the solution to our problems. If they win nothing this season, chances of this happening increases. Also, if I'm not mistaken, this buyback clause is good for 2016 and 2017. They can always wait to make the move in 2017.

Days after offloading him, we starting playing the scheme that really fits him, for the first time since he got here. That was retarded as hell from Marotta.

Exactly. He had a more conservative way, probably because Allegri told him to. We need more consistency on the middle. But with Marchisio and possibly Khedira/Lemina stablished on the team, I hope he gets enough freedom and confidence to do what he knows to.
