- Barzagli's level decreased drastically, and this is an ongoing process. Now his presence in the list is rather nominal. - Benedict is twice as good as Caceres when they are both fit. - Benatia was basically on the same level as Bonucci as a defender, but without psychological issues of the...

That's a very good point. Giorgio is probably going to pick up some injury when it's the worst possible moment to pick it up, as he already did several times. But now he'll at least have Caceres already waiting for him in the medical center, so Chiellini won't be so lonely, maybe this is the...

Benatia was pretty good last season (defensively not worse than Bonucci who he replaced, that's for sure), and let's not forget that he was in the squad that made 3:0 at Bernabeu. Let's also not forget that it was because of Benatia that the score turned to 3:1 though :hihi:, but it was a...

Well, that 600k thing changes everything in how this signing looks :agree:

:tup: I like Martin when he's a physically fit player, but that wasn't his favorite state at Juventus. And I'm sure that with the intensity of the top club training process he'll reach the edge of the opposite state very quickly again and will balance on it at best.

That hurts. But fair. 1548212531 I expect De Sciglio to be occasionally used as a CB too. He's got everything necessary for that position and will probably never be good enough as a fullback, so it seems like a natural direction of professional development for him. Frankly, Marcelo is not a...

Or agent Beppe :tup:.

He's only 20, so we'll have to wait another 5 years :scared:

Marotta left the club for some reason. And if this reason is something else than a mere typical corporate intrigue, and if it does have something to do with the sports management matters, then we should expect pretty big changes in the style in which Juventus act on the transfer market. But...

Tonight's Sarri's words about qualities of Chelsea players make me think that he's not going to stay there for a long time, which probably means no Chelsea for Higuain.

All of it is much more realistic than it looks like at the first glance :). Also, Agnelli said that now their goal is to buy the next GOAT when he's 25 or so. I don't think that those words are just empty words. I believe, they are ready to spend big money and to rise the level even higher.

If you want to dominate Europe, you must have the best midfielders in their prime + one of the GOATs. When Barcelona steamrolled every team in CL, they had Xavi + Iniesta + Buskets in their prime. And Messi. RM won 3 CL in a row because they had Modric + Kroos + Casemiro in their prime. And...

To be fair, this Chelsea is a very odd club. Similar to today's Milan, but in EPL (i.e. with more money, better players, etc.). I'm sure Alvaro will do significantly better in any other non-British club. But Higuain seems to not realize what's waiting for him in London.

I'm afraid, that's not the role he sees himself in, otherwise he'd probably still play for Madrid. But if such a format were the real possibility, of course it would be great to see him here again. That goal he made for Cuadrado against Bayern Munich is one of the most spectacular things I've...

It was very sad to see Morata leaving Juventus when he was (supposedly) forced to go back to Madrid. I remember how unhappy he looked in the bus after that Coppa final. But now I wouldn't like to see him at Juventus. Back then he was a young and promising talent. Now he's one of many of those...

That was my first thought after I read the news too. But now I don't think that much really changed.

What I can see happening in 2019 transfer windows: 1. Ramsey. 2. Dybala <> Pogba mega swap. 3. Isco. Let me elaborate on options 2 and 3 a little bit. a) Dybala <> Pogba mega swap: - Juventus have been interested in Pogba for a long time. MU have been (reportedly) interested in Dybala for a...

What's wrong with that?

Where did you see that in my post?

The problem with Serie A is that its reputation has been quite mediocre recently, which affects how the level of young talents coming here is perceived by people. Had Kluivert junior been signed by any EPL team, he would be considered a top young talent, but since it's Roma that signed him, now...
