And people think our gem Rugani isn't being developed by Max and he will ask to leave because of lack of playing time.

13 starts in 27 serie A matches, 1415 minutes in all competitions already this season with 3 months left.

Clearly not playing at all. :baus:
:disagree:

Has started half of our Serie A matches this season. 1415 minutes by the beginning of March. So few.
He started 10 out of our first 13 games in Serie A and proceeded to lose the pecking order battle to both Benatia and Barzagli, as Allegri put it, he needs to take that last step up in quality. in the patch that followed he started 3 out of 13 Serie A games, which got people worrying that he might take his football elsewhere. Especially considering that we are reportedly going to extend Barzagli for one more season. Next season will be his 4th one here and he's almost in the same spot he was when he started at Juve

Rugani will be a starter next season if he continues his steady improvement, it'll also be Chiellini's last as a starter.

Of course it helps we are going back to a 3-man backline :tuttosport:

Rugani :heart:

2015:
Class. This kid is so talented he'll be a starter for us sooner then later.
Rugani might not be a full time starter next season but it's really just a matter of time. To me he's the best CB in serie A
We should make him a starter next year.
Barzagli - Rugani.
a loan till the end of the season wouldn't be that bad atleast he will play something he won't do for us this season. then next year he will be a starter.
2016:
the kid will be a starter next season if beppe dont loan him out with the right to buy.
since he gained confidence he is a starter material for us. He is also bigger threat at corners than some of our starting CBs
Another great header from a corner. Looked smooth and composed at the back again, he's coming of age. He'll be a starter here before long.

Selling Bonucci would be madness, Killini for a crazy sum? Sure.
I think both Rugani and Mario are starters and unless they have a bad match Killini Bonucci and Dybala have to earn their place back in.
Should be a starter even when everyone comes back.
This kid is already playing like a seasoned veteran at 22 years of age. A huge talent, he will definitely be considered a starter for us sooner rather than later. His poise, calmness, positioning and strength in the air are all first class. He's like a Barzagli jnr.
2017:
Should be a regular starter
He already deserves to be a starter.Not a single mistake.The kid is a working machine.:delpiero:
This guy would be starter anywhere else. Best young CB in teh world maybe?
He should be a starter next season. Enough pampering. Let him become our standard in defense
It's definitely time to phase him in as a starter. He's ready to step up.
Well, the season will tell. He should become a starter eventually this season.
If not, he is gone. Right.
I wonder what 2018 is going to bring :shifty: :D

Rugani will be a starter next season

Imo he'll be a bench player again behind Caldara next season

Unless we switch back to a 3 man backline of course

People worried about him going elsewhere because that's what people on Tuz do. His minutes have been going up every season.

He played 1490 minutes in season 1.

He played 1560 minutes in season 2. (missed the last month with knee injury)

He has played 1415 minutes this year. 2.5 months left in the season. He's likely to play close to 2000 minutes this season barring injury. He's our 3rd choice CB now when we play a 4 man backline, as Barza plays mostly RB now, or in back 3.

He's definitely shown improvement, and is earning more minutes because of this. he's going nowhere. Of course as a 21-23 year old at one of the biggest clubs in the world, with some of the best CBs in the game, he's going to have to fight for minutes. He seems perfectly willing to do so, and shall continue to see his minutes go up if he continues to play well.

He is good. Why not?

Those stats are cute and all, but he needs to play more, way too many games benched. He is in his 4th season here or so.
