These rumors are strange to me. Doesn't make sense from the club's perspective.

Khedira likely leaving and we already need reinforcement as it is why would they allow him to leave?

Was his lack of PT this year really down to "integrating after injury"? The guy has been fit from his knee surgery for a long time. He was even playing in pre-season. Maybe Max really doesn't have plans for him...strange considering we have zero alternatives to Pjanic.

This might go down to a Max fault in my book...doesn't have many but this would certainly be one IMO.
He won't go, i'm pretty sure. Doesn't make any sense for us to do that.

I actually do think it was more down to him not being 100% physically for most of this season, competitions for places also gets tougher when you are constantly in a pre/post injury state and this season and the last Claudio was very unfortunate due to having to compete for a more physical/b2b role in our midfield (considering that Pjanic already starts as regista) and simply put his current characteristics weren't complementing our starting 11 the way someone like a fully fit Khedira's physical presence/effectiveness or Matuidi's endless running/tackling would under the current circumstances, but again imo that all this probably has more to do with him just not being 100% physically atm rather than Max pushing him out or whatever...

However i do agree that he could and probably should have gotten more minutes overall this season, tho as posted above i more or less also have an ideea into why he eventually went down the picking order.

Nonetheless, he must absolutely stay!

He won't go, broski. He's in our Champion League's homegrown list. We let him go, we don't have any player to replace, or we want to go to the competition with only 22 player. Not to mention he's a very good CM sub.

Totally.

Tho in the end i guess we could eventually find a homegrown to slot in if absolutely necessary, just that as you aswell more or less said, none come even remotely close to Claudio's quality and above all personality. :tup:

Yes, that's too. He's our beautiful leader, must be there to help Chellini teach the youngsters Juve's mentality :tup:

He should definitely be kept if possible. Buffon, Lichst and Asamoah leaving (and possibly several others) mean a gaping hole in the leadership/example department. The whole reason United/Milan/Inter have been in such a huge mess in recent years is due to the ageing core leaving all at once and being replaced by foreign mercenaries who have no sense of unity and belonging to the club. Players like Mandzu, Marchisio, Barza are not necessarily the best players anymore, but we need to keep them to enhance the level of the rest of the squad.

However, if he wants to leave, we should definitely cater to his wishes (which I'm sure the board will do anyway).

Who would be our vice-captain if Marchisio leaves? Barzagli?

WTF? We should definitely keep him. Get rid of that abomination parading as a footballer, and il nuovo Sissoko before even considering a Marchisio sale.
Mandragora should be brought back. Sturaro OUT!

have you seen Marchisio vs Bayern that season? we reached a CL final with Pjanic being our key contributor just last year, but youre a hater so you chose to forget that
Have I seen Marchisio vs Bayern? You mean the 45 mins that he played vs Bayern before getting subbed off? Yes I have and the whole team was horrible while henwasnt bad or gr8. Got a couple nice tackles in too.

I also saw in the 2014-15 season Marchisio play amazing vs Barca, Real, and rape Dortmund. He also did something that Pjanic could never do and that’s stay consistent.

Just like how it’s Messi>>>>>>Ronaldo

Marchisio >>>>>> Pjanic

exactly what i meant :lol:. it took a Hernanes-Marchisio sub for us to start balling.

14-15 Marchisio wasnt a regista - irrelevant
