nor Coman.
selling clause?

nope, i guess. coman is a 2nd choice winger when robben is available, that seems clear to me. i'm not sure about vidal... guardiola seems to be preferring xabi alonso for that role recently.

Bayern pressing without cbs... Bonucci long balls incoming

this. If we manage to jump their midfield with long passes, then it might create them some issues.

Benatia is so gonna play.

...and this raises an other question: morata for counters, or mandzu for workrate (and elbows)?

mandzu to tire them out, Zaza or Morata to come in the last 20/30 minutes to use the gaps

boateng improved a lot in the recent years, but let's not get carried away. btw who's the other 2 cb's in your top3?

you can start your own media agency then.

Maybe not top 3 because it is hard to decide. I'd say top 5 would be Boateng, Godin, Bonucci, Pique and Silva.
No need to act pissed off. You don't know how many different line-ups I've seen in forums and german media

Not to mock him or your team but he's not even half the player Barzagli is and I am very serious.

I still see their line ups pretty strong.

That's a pretty bolt thing to say. Boateng would have Barzagli for breakfast in terms of physicality and ability on the ball. I know how much of a beast Barzagli was in his prime and I still rate him, but Boateng is probably the most athletic and technically gifted CB in the world at the moment. Not even mentioning he's the best tackler in the league with ~75% tackles.

Pique

Pique

Better than Barzagli and Chiello!

piqué?! now, we have at least 3 better centre backs than him.

i'm not pissed off at all, i was half joking, half serious: most of italian media is full of bs, it wouldn't be hard to reach the level of the majority of italian papers. so if you have a better guess than mediaset, please share.

How can you have Bonucci there but not Barzagli?

athletic. that's all.

bonucci puts boateng in his back pocket technically. add the lack of brain that leads to all the
tackles in the first place, talking about bad positioning.

Oh man.

Yeah, it looks he got his top 5 from a Bleacherreport.com article or something. Not someone who watches Juve games

 

[Azzurri7]

Oh man.

You really shouldn't be laughing if you think Pique is top 3 CB

 

[il brutto]

Barzagli when it comes to defending is the best there has been in the last 5 years. Only a peak Thiago Silva and Chiellini come close. Nowadays Godin for me is head and shoulders above someone like Boateng.

 

[bastos80]

You shouldn't either if you can't read that I've went with a top 5

Yeah, it looks he got his top 5 from a Bleacherreport.com article or something. Not someone who watches Juve games

And I take it as all of you talking crap about Boateng watch Bayern games

 

[DAiDEViL]

Oh man.

exactly what i was thinking when i saw you rating friggin pique higher than all of our CB's.

it is the truth though - bonucci is by far the best ballplaying CB.

boateng is a pure athletic monster.
