When people didn't even dream about going for a LB, I said: sign Alex Sandro. Golden opportunity. 2 months later, Marotta did it. He's totally worth it. Athletic, strong, great defending, very fast, very good first touch, passing, crossing, finishing... he's a complete LB. Alaba level...

This. I also said we wouldn't sign Alex Sandro. But for a different reason. Porto wouldn't sell for less than 20M. We could get him if we wanted to, but all this talk about a trequartista, and Marotta definitely didn't look like he would spend almost 30M on a LB. It's a question of strategy...

Llorente won't go to any club. The few which can afford him probably don't interest him (EPL minnows) He makes too much for teams like Sevilla. So we probably will be forced to loan him out for free, if Sevilla can pay his full salaries. That's pretty much it.

Playing poorly reduces chances of winning. I just can't understand how you don't field your best 11. The team with the injuries desperately needs Pereyra's creativity and mobility. How can you play Padoin instead of him, or a CB instead of him, when Sturaro could clearly do the DM? Allegri...

Are we really going to spend more 20-30? I have a hard time believeing that, but Marotta shot himself on the foot saying a great 10 is coming.. I just don't see great opportunities right now. We definitely shouldn't buy one for the sake of it.

I'm very surprised by this move. And I like it. We are rich bitches. And it shows a lot of ambition. This is a top 3 or 5 LB in the world. Now honestly I don't see where they'll get money to pay something like 20 + 10 for Draxler.

Fielding a 532 with Evra-Licht on the flanks, Caceres on the defense, Padoin - Sturaro - Pogba in the midfield is probably the worst decision Allegri can take for this game. It's gonna be ugly. Still hoping for the 4312, but it seems very unlikely at this point.

Who has actually seen him play a full match?

She's beautiful, but too skinny. Gimme some meat

1000 edit: damn

A few thoughts: - Juve B looks very solid. Specially both CBs, they held their own very well in almost every play, against Mandzukic, Zaza, Llorente. Blanco and Parodi their names. - Vitale seems to be decently talented, but he's too fragile. I doubt he could make Serie B yet, gotta bulk up...

He definitely didn't close the window on Draxler, just didn't let highs too up. But he did say that they'll get a great 10, watch your words Marotta, stand by them

I'm still waiting for the final announcement, but.... FAP FAP FAPF AFPAF APFAPFA FAPF AP AD ETERNUM A FUCKING GREAT LB, CAN'T BELIEVE IT

Sure but his main duty which is to attack through the right flank is where Pedro is much better. If they were satisfied with him Pedro wouldn't be there. And Cuadrado is a poor IQ player, you can't ask much from him tactically. Just tell him to run like a mad man throught the right line and...

Pedro and Cuadrado can exclusively play as a RW, and I don't think Pedro went to Chelsea to be a fix starter. He'll probably rotate with William. Cuadrado can do only one thing, and Pedro can do it better. Chances of Cuadrado being offloaded are big. And we would probably be the best suitors...

Also, Alex Sandro is master coup because he's a very solid defender and can play almost everywhere on the team. He's actually played as a LCB before. Similar to Alaba. I'm sure he'll be a player of the same level. He can play anywhere in the left side (LB, WLB, LM, LW) + LCB + LCM. He...

I'm not high on Draxler, but along with Alex Sandro and the sale of Llorente it would be OK I guess. Marotta has these 3 things to do before the closure. I've given up on Isla. Cuadrado on a loan would be pretty good, without obligation. Vidal (37+3) + Llorente (10) - Alex Sandro (22+3) -...

English not good enough to get the joke. :(

Mikh has a stronger floor (presente), but lower ceilling. We know what to expect from him and know chances of being a protagonist are low. Draxler has a lower floor (could be a total bust) but a higher ceilling (WC).

Vasquez to me is just a bad joke, don't believe Marotta would go after him. Mkhi I may agree. Maybe better Draxler then.
