If he was that good shouldn't he be playing ahead of fucking Yepes?

Yepes is doing very well tbh. He keeps their defence in one piece.

Yeah, Yepes has been fantastic for Colombia.

 

[GrecoJuve]

Yepes is the leader of Colombia and fully different with his NT.
Balanta, surely have a good future but he isn't the FM or Fifa beast, that all described.
I have seen him play for River, he is fast with good physics. He lacks in ball playing and aerials.
If we take him as Bonucci replacement or anyone else is a bad move. Generally, IMO we don't need any additional CB.

 

[Van Helsing]

1.81 m? his height is short for a CB.

Balanta?

 

[Mark]

Canna was even smaller and was pretty good no?

exception when he was jump he was like 2.00 m

Balanta?

I was just going to say that. His height isn't exactly favourable for a solid CB.

 

[GrandeGigi]

Just adding to the he's a beast in FM comments.

 

[Sjaban]

Bonucci is 1.90 and he can't aerial defend for shit, if this kid can at least jump into the air and head the ball he should be signed..

 

[Badass J Elkann]

fucking awful player - pass

 

[Qwisto]

$#@!ing awful player - pass

A beast in FM though

 

[Badass J Elkann]

so is Giovinco...

 

[Gagi]

so was james rodriguez when he was 16y old

What are you judging this on? He was excellent for River Plate on their run to the Torneo Final this year.

What do you think of this guy? @X

 

[Badass J Elkann]

takes far too many risks defensively, he may get away with it in argentina, but he will get found out, for me he lacks composure at times too

I know @X and i have briefly discussed him in the past, not overly keen.

Ahh. I suppose he does take quite a few risks. We already have that in spades in this Juventus side.

Speaking of defenders from Argentina. Anyone watch Emmanuel Insua play for Boca? He looks like a pretty good LB prospect. It looks like West Ham are going to sign him.

the thought of Bonucci - Balanta and Chiellini in defence just scares me and not in a good way


yeah I'm quite a Insua fan as well, so is @X since we both have a thing for Boca Jrs shame the Juve scouts are useless
