Edinson Cavani in Juventuz Thread Dilemma
Reports from France have suggested that Edinson Cavani's proposed switch to Turin giants Juventus has hit a snag.
L'Équipe will report tomorrow that the problem has stemmed from his transfer thread on fansite juventuz.com remaining closed despite irrefutable evidence of an impending transfer. It appears that a moderator named Mark has refused to re-open the thread despite a committed campaign of badgering by several users.
Now the report - which sites an unnamed man currently living in Montevideo as its source - will state that such a move would be disastrous to the Bianconeri's chances of landing El Matador. The man, thought to be stunningly handsome, was quoted as saying "Ever since Hustini got all his fame for jinxing it's been one hell of a superstitious place, the Tuz. Mark thinks he'll hurt our chances with Cavani by opening the thread, but it's actually the opposite. My mate's mum is Edi's mum's friend and she says that he wants the thread open or else he won't come."
Cavani himself was unavailable for comment.

Forza Gabby J and Marko.
took Juve to 5 scudettos and 2 coppas and 1 CL final and 1 quarterfinal as our main formation. Took the worst italy squad in history to the quarter final of the euros beating Sweden, Belgium and Spain in convincing fashion and losing out to Germany on penalties. Useless formation

Kante actually proved his qualities over the course of last season. He was the best DM in the EPL for a year (one of the best in Europe) and was an essential part of the trio that did the Ranieri miracle. He works incredibly hard, is one hell of a tackler (4.7 tackles per game on average) and is great at intercepting passes (4.2 interceptions). These are stats over the course of an entire season not a small sample of games. He has been an absolute monster for lester defensively.
For some perspective these are vidal's stats (2.4 tackles) and (1.3 interceptions) at Bayern. Kante's defensive numbers are like Vidal's at Juve and lverkusen.
So no Kante is not overrated. We are all in agreement that he isnt a good passer and that his role at Lester didnt require him to be one and so played to his defensive strengths. We could use a monster ball winner like that to give freedom to pogba and pjanic.
Lemina has been alright as a sub for us but is far from the proven quality that Kante is. He has different attributes anyway. I'd definitely swap them we would be getting a monster of a ball winner who is experienced and is a big game player. I'd go for Kante regardless of Lemina's status. He can be very useful for us especially that we havent had that kind of ball winner since vidal left.
