very impressive defender and versatile too, did not look out of place at LB.

should be a matter of time before we ask about him.

I think we did try to sign him or at least asked about him. But he refused us cuz he plays for Torino I think. Anyway he is a top prospect player. I thought LB was in natural position?

 

[Ahmed]

^ not sure if we asked as such, he was asked on Italian radio if he would join Juve and he (apparently) jokingly said no, never.

 

[CalcioJuventus]

He would be a great player to have. Him and Chiellini in the same team would be beastly. It would be nice if we tried to bring him in for next season. He has a high price attached to him though.

 

[ALC]

I didn't see enough to be convinced of anything. The first half he played as a CB, he didn't have shit to do because Italy controlled the ball the whole time. Obviously not a LB, so yeah.

Torino merda Fuck Ogbonna

 

[CalcioJuventus]

Yeah on Wiki he is listed as CB.

 

[Powis]

Didn't he say he'll never move to Juve?

 

[Joe]

Yeah, didn't this guy talk shit about Juventus or something?

Anyways he had a solid performance tonight.

 

[Salvatore]

He didn't really show much defensively (not his fault), and offensively he was okay but wouldn't be a left back anyway?

His agent denied the quotes of him saying "never join Juve".

 

[Joe]

Well then he's back in my good books if that's the case. I think he had a good showing, nothing special but he was rarely called to do much.

 

[JuveJay]

Looked clumsier than Chiellini at left back, but at centre backed looked fairly good, even with limited defending to do.

The Italian Micah Richards

 

[Rollie]

Definitely unimpressive at LB today. Up until Chiello was introduced, I thought he was pretty good.

Imposing physicality, that's for sure. This guy is a beast!

 

[Trequartista]

The Italian Micah Richards

That's actually an accurate comparison

Definitely unimpressive at LB today. Up until Chiello was introduced, I thought he was pretty good.

I agree, Prandelli's tactics were odd today. Ogbonna was impressive until that sub, and even after it he wasn't too bad, just clearly not the type of LB you want in a game your trailing.

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

Pretty impressed with this guy at CB. Big, strong, quick and imposing. Decent blocking and tackling abilities. His positioning was OK too.

 

[Cheesio]

He looks like Kevin Durant

 

[JuveJay]

Anyone notice how he always drew the forward in and then knocked the ball quickly past them to get a yard of space? He must have done this 30 times in the game. He's extremely left footed.

 

[Salvatore]

He looks like Kevin Durant

Anyway, would people be willing to lose 10m+ for this guy? Those were the reported figures last summer, and it looks like Torino will be promoted.
