    Summer mercato 2021-22 poll

    The team is weaker than last season. Poor and simple. The midfield is better as we got locatelli. The biggest head scratcher is worth the money we save from Ronaldo, we didn't improve the midfield more. The midfield remains the weakest part of the team while attack its weaker (no Ronaldo)...

    Massimiliano Allegri

    Our best outfield players based on current form and general ability seem to be Danilo, Chiesa, Cuadrado, Dybala and Locatelli so they all need to start. The tricky part is that Chiesa and Cuadrado's most useful position is the same position which means one of them needs to take the other flank...

    [Serie A] Napoli 2-1 Juventus [September 11th, 2021]

    Perhaps an over-tired, hung over or jet lagged Danilo-Bonucci-Chiellini/De Light--Sandro is still better

    [Serie A] Napoli 2-1 Juventus [September 11th, 2021]

    I think in reality, we can only rely on the European players as the others will be too jet lagged. Kean should start because I don't think he was called up? So I am guessing.... Perin De Sciglio-----Rugani-----Bonucci?-----Pellegrini Chiesa?----Locatelli----Rabiot?------Berna...

    Summer mercato 2021-22

    So lets see versus last season: IN: Perin, Rugani, De Sciglio, Pellegrini, Locatelli, Kean, Kaio Jorge OUT: Buffon, Demiral, Frabotta, Ronaldo So 3/10 - I think this is the worst mercato for some time and I am generally not as negative as many here. I mean if you told me at the start of...

    Tactics and Formations

    I always say, the quality of your squad should dictate the formation - and not the other way around. I would start by thinking of our biggest weakness - our defensive mids. Our greatest strengths? Wingers - Chiesa and Cuadrado. Our highest quality forward is Dybala - what is his best...

    Summer mercato 2021-22

    I think old school 442 with Dybala and Morata up front (can also be interpreted as 4231) Chiesa and Cuads as wingers. Locatelli in the middle. Who partners him is the key question. But that way the team has enough quality. If you play 433, then you are playing more mediocre players to for a...

    Summer mercato 2021-22

    If the midfield is shit then play with 2 in midfield and stack the attacking mids

    Summer mercato 2021-22

    I think this mercato is over. Don't see anyone coming. I hope Kulu stays. Obviously it's a mercato to forget overall. Now let's hope we can make it work. Let's hope Allegri comes up with a system that makes the most of the teams strengths which I consider to be on the attacking wings. In...

    Federico Chiesa

    At the moment, he is our most promising and exciting player. No doubt. Good to have him start on the right of a 433 - and rotate time to time on the left to change this up during a match. Basically he should play a bit like Ronaldo but on the other side and not give him too much defensive...

    Summer mercato 2021-22

    The biggest issue we have is getting rid of players first and foremost. I would like to see the back of Ramsey, Bentancur, Bernardeschi and Rabiot and bring in 2 world class midfielders. Problem is, nobody wants those players for various reasons. I don't mind Morata but now he is...

    Summer mercato 2021-22

    Honestly at this point, I would be happy with Pjanic on a dry loan paying half good salary. We just need someone who can play in front of the defense and not make mistakes, can play the odd through pass and score free kicks. It would allow locatelli to be a box to box. Low risk option for...

    I actually think the international break works in our favor..... It's not like we have positive momentum right now

    Summer mercato 2021-22

    So we want Icardi but we have Morata, Kean, and Kaio Jorge already.... So 4 number 9s?

    Rodrigo Bentancur

    Every time I see this player play I am always shaking my head.

    Alex Sandro

    Gosens might be a decent upgrade
