Daniele Rugani (22 Viewers)

[Siamak]

I've never seen Rugani as a bad defender. He might not be world-class, but he’s always been calm on the ball, reliable, and rarely error-prone. Maybe if he'd joined a team like Lazio or Fiorentina instead of spending years behind Juve’s backline, his career would’ve taken a different turn. In my opinion, aside from all the media hype, De Ligt didn’t really offer anything more than Rugani defensively. Still, Italian defenders often come into their own after 30, just look at Barzagli, who only really shined later on. I really hope he stays and finally gets the trust he deserves. Honestly, he’s way more dependable than guys like Kelly.

He was sent to Rennes for 1 year and barely played there, then he was loaned to Cagliari for a year. Nothing is wrong about him the fact is he has never been good enough to be a starter even at mid-level clubs in inferior leagues. I take him for the bench because he always accepts being in the rotation system and bench role plus the salary is on point for a bench player.

But doesnt have the pace to follow along faster players. And you need the pace to keep a high backline. And you need a high backline to keep a high pressure. And you need a high pressure to keep the possession. And you need the possession to control the match. Kelly has pace. Rugani dont. End of story.

I'm taking Rugani in a wheelchair over Kelly.

End of story.

Agree with this but also see what he is saying. And we're worse at defending with Kelly playing and this modern style of fast defenders who play the ball than we ever were with actual defenders, even moderate ones like Rugani.

Rumor has it that the relationship between Rugani and his wife Michela Persico has come to an end. [Gazzetta]

Didn't think I would say it, but presently I see Rugs on team as a positive. CB position with Bremer, Kalulu, Veiga and probably Gatti. And what's going on with Veiga? Price gone up after Nations League play?

Bringing him back at the right time. We need him, he's 30 and he's about to peak and climax.

This, he needs to start against Real.

Would prefer to see him start in this one too, but we all know how hard it is for anyone to find space in the first XI with our already stellar defensive lineup in place.

 

[JuvePerSempre10]

He needs to stay. Not that he is a superstar, but if the club sells him they are morons.

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

Definitely keep.

He can easily be the reserve Bremer. Would trust him there any day over Savona ffs.

We will no doubt be stupid and loan him to Pisa or some shit.

 

[Boksic]

Decent game. Probably our third best defender in the squad.

They already tried to do it before.

If we're going to low block everybody again because we suck, he's a perfect defender for it.

Agreed - I actually think he is our third-best defender. Even if we bring in someone as a starter, he should at least stay as a backup to Bremer, or start until he is fit. I didn't want to jump to conclusion too soon, but judging by Tudor's games in Serie A and these last couple of us, it does look like we'll low block everyone.

>>> kelly, gatti, savona, rouhi. this isn't saying too much but beggars can't be choosers

the state of this squad, jesus. not rugani's fault though. just replace rouhi and kelly with him

 

[cimenk]

Decent game. Probably our third best defender in the squad.

If Savona wasnt injured or Gatti hasnt got fever, we probably wont know. Tudor has no choice but to play him and found out he still good player.

Reserve at best

Should never start a match that matters ever again.

 

[Salvo]

More than happy for him to stay as backup. If only we kept him instead of getting Kelly

 

[Alin]

Definitely keep.

We will no doubt be stupid and loan him to Pisa or some shit.

Especially if we plan to continue with 3 CB’s formations going into the next season too then he should definitely be kept around as backup because he knows his place and will always step in when needed with the right attitude.

 

[AndreaCristiano]

I think keeping rugani makes a lot of sense. He’s very solid defender and we don’t need to find a solution he’s ours already
