He's become such a nothing player, it's sad. As recently as 2018 I still hoped he'd become a good defender, obviously not a warrior like Chiello, or elegant passer like (prime) Bonucci, but perhaps a classy intelligent old school CB like Barzagli. In reality though, he just doesn't have...

Talented no doubt, but honestly I don't think he has either the brain or character to reach even half his potential. Maybe he'll randomly get good in some Ligue 1 team in a few years like Depay did, but at the moment is a dressing room cancer and should be avoided at any cost.

I'd rather keep Costa (and trust me, I don't want to keep him) than swap him for Dembele. There has never been a player with more red flags than the guy. 1) Constantly injured. Ramsey and Costa are titans of fitness in comparison. 2) Zero IQ on the pitch. Runs really fast in random direction...

10 m loan + 40 m option/obligation seems like a very fair proposition, Fiorentina doing Paratici a favor. RWB is the only position at the club with no depth. For every other spot there's solid second choice, but for RWB there's only Cuads... underrated player definitely, but also ageing and not...

I'd take Kean, Matuidi back and Jesse Lingard too if fatso promises us Haaland in a year or two :tuttosport:

Attack in 3-4-1-2: Ramsey; CR7, Dybala. Rotation: Morata, Berna, Portanova, possibly new cheap ST Attack in 3-4-2-1: Ronaldo, Dybala; Morata. Rotation: Ramsey, Berna, Portanova, new cheap ST. Even if (when, hopefully) Costa is sold, don't think there's any need for new AM, let alone an...

You're right, such a wasteful option for rotation though. Lazio won't sell to Juve unless Paratici massively overpays for a meh player.

For what purpose? AM backup? Only makes sense if Berna is leaving and even then I'd prefer someone young with higher ceiling. Correa is mediocre at everything. Portanova should get a chance against shitty opposition instead of wasting money on this guy.

Yeah, and Costa doesn't really have a spot in the system Pirlo used against Sampdoria. Can't play as wingback, can't play centrally. Loaning Chiesa for 15-20 mil with later obligation, who has a perfect spot here as RWB, and selling Costa for about 20 mil who is of no use at this point -...

Better late than never, this is actually turning out to be much better mercato than expected :wine:

Plus, if we believe the reports, Chiesa isn't interested in other offers and waits for Juve. Which means he'll fight hard for his place once he's in Turin. That's exactly the enthusiasm which Pirlo wants to inject in the team. I understand why some posters aren't excited by Chiesa because he's...

Why do you think so? Chiesa has endless stamina and covers the whole flank, that's the key quality in wingback. He's not much of an attacking midfielder or striker in my opinion, good skill on the ball but poor finishing. Who would you consider as the best option for new RWB? Cuadrado isn't...

Fair price all things considered, I can't think of anyone better realistically available to rotate with Cuadrado, and take the starting RWB spot either later this season or the next one for sure. Lets do this.

Berna went for 40 m :boh: I saw someone here on Tuz suggest that we could play Bernardeschi as LWB and Chiesa on the opposite flank, and the more I think about it the more I like it. It's the last chance to get any value out of Berna other than selling him for 20 mil or something. He's very...

Transfermarkt have Chiesa at 50 mil, I don't believe Fiorentina can expect to get anything more than that. Chiesa probably wants to stay in Italy and no PL clubs are after him at the moment it seems. Chiesa or Adama Traore would be best solutions for RWB spot imo, Juve need a quality successor...
