How's he doing in Turkey? It's a bit sad Besiktas got him on a 2.5m / year salary, for that money it feels like Mire was definitely worth the gamble

I thought the support for Saka was overwhelming and the majority was angry at Southgate and senior English players for dumping the responsibility on Saka's shoulders. Sure there were some stupid reactions here and there, but that's hardly everyone.

In the national NT Loca played alongside Jorginho and did excellent, I'm not sure Allegri will use Loca as a regista, I'm not even sure he'll play with a regista at all

Pjanic 16/17 8g14a, 17/18 7g11a, 18/19 4g8a, 19/20 3g8a. Did his production regress massively over his time here? For sure. Is it still better than most our mids? For sure.

Pjanic was available for 3m/season and we didnt take him? Wtf?

Pirlo looked finished at Milan too. After emerging for Roma, for 6 seasons straight Pjanic played ~40 full games for his club and most of the NT games as well, not everyone is Ronaldo. I'm curious to see how he'll look with a point to prove and after a season Koemann only gave him 1300 minutes...

it's a big question whether he's washed up or not, he might have the same rennessaince Pirlo had when he joined Juve after a season on the sidelines, surely he has a lot to prove after that disaster in Barca where he didn't even get a decent chance. however we're so bloated in midfield it's...

Judging by minutes played, Koemann has been the only coach not running Pjanič into the ground in the past decade lol, I don't see a significant spike in minutes played between Pjanic in Sarri's Juve and Pjanic in Allegri's Juve or Roma

swap for Ramsey! we can evaluate Pjanic at 50m and Ramsey at 45m, imagine the plusvalenza

Insignificant, that's brutal lol

Maybe. But Pirlo was barely above average for the last 2-3 years with Milan, then came to Juve and played like a top 3 mid in world in his first season here and Euro2012. For specialist mids the characteristics of a team can either make or break them

He's still a good specialist midfielder, but he has to be used to his strengths. Put him in a team like Roma and I"m sure he'll considerably raise their level, current Barca just doesn't suit him, too many wizards on the ball and not enough runners in that team.

He was clearly more fresh than most players, but still had a good game, refreshing to see a midfielder actually trying to capitalize on all the runs our forwards make

Y, besides playing awesome he also pulls some cheeky moves time after time

Overall it feels like those long range goal numbers have dropped a lot, in 00ties players like Ronaldinho and Nedved used to take a lot more shots from outside of the box than players nowadays do. Im sure most of the Pjanic, Messi and Ronaldo goals in there are freekicks

Whats the meaning behind his celebration?

lol

Mirko playing like shit was terrible though, the man was seriously WC on his day, yet at times managed to look like a 50yo long retired attacker :D

come on, he's Balkan, they're the most inconsistent players of them all, Sarri won't change that :D

I liked the slightly homoerotic translation of Pjanič touching 150 balls and his teammates helping him better
