Good signing if it happens
Looking at his career stats and I'm asking the same question. No other teams looking at the low cost and saying we want him? Maybe it's the nagging injuries that a poster here mention about him? That being said I would hope Juve gets him loan/buy whatever.
Maybe 2014 is lights years away soccer wise, but played every minute of every match for World Cup Germany and showed BL versatility by playing LB entire tourney, Bund career says 80% CB and 20% RB. Won't be LB here but no doubt could fill in as RB.
Looking past this season Howedes can be part of a CB rotation when Chellini probably gets last time and Rugani and Caldara become regulars. The guy looks to be that solid defender Juve needs wherever he plays on the backline.
Here's a comparison of Howedes and another player stats from their respective league club career. Howedes has played 28K+ minutes, scored 23 with 13 assists while receiving 44 yellow cards. The other has played 31K+ minutes, scored 23 goals with 9 assists while receiving 71 yellow cards.
The other, Leonardo Bonucci. Not saying he's as good as Bonucci and of course numbers aren't everything, but appears he could fit in nicely at Juve. Could be a too good to be true deal.
