So, to sum up:

We are selling Pogba, Bonucci, Lich, Rugani, Zaza, Pereyra, Mandzu, Lemina, Sturaro, Hernanes, Asamoah, Neto.

We already sold/released Padoin, Rubinho, Caceres, Morata, soon Cuadrado.

We arent getting Sanchez, Jesus, Morata, Cavani, Matic, Kante, Pjaca, Berardi, A. Gomes, Lukaku, De Sciglio, Mascherano, Kovacic, Chicharito...

Names like Balo, Ljajic etc. start to pop up.

Media. :lol: EPL clubs/fans :lol: Our rivals in Serie A. :lol:

Got to love them Mercatos. :numnum:
yeah, dude, this is really getting out of hand. btw we're not getting ljajic, celta vigo beat us, and we're selling dybala to barcelona, too. anyway, next year's starting lineup should look like:

buffon - barza, benatia, chiellini - alves, khedira, pjanic, ???, evra - ???, balotelli

we need a decent mid (poli?) and a seconda punta (ljajic could have been fine, maybe vazquez is within our reach, but only if west ham doesn't want him), and we're ready to go.

3 man defense has not been the only formation we played.

Funny you classify yourself like somebody who knows better.

And btw, after we won things we sold both Vidal and Tevez who were most likely our best players. But apparently you forgot about that or chose to ignore it.
Dusan, we didn't chose to sell those players. They wanted to leave. Bonucci has hardly hinted he wants to leave this club anytime soon. On the contrary, he said several times he wants to retire here. Plus we do not sell players for profit, simply because we don't need to.

Bonucci's importance was highlighted this year because Pirlo was gone from Juve and Italy. There was no playmaker in midfield and Bonucci was instrumental for the build up. He's also important in the same way Chiellini and Barzagli are important as parts of an incredibly well working defense consisted of players who know exactly how and where to move and where the other two are at any time.
Pjanic, depending on how will Allegri use him, might put some shadow on Bonucci's importance, but selling Bonucci will be badly felt. No matter the quality of his replacement, our team will be weaker in the first post-Bonucci season.

I wouldn't sell him even for 100m, mostly because he's my favorite Juve player atm. But 60m is a great price for a CB. I hope it won't arrive and I hope we reject it if it comes. Actually, scratch that. I hope such offer comes and I hope we reject it. It will feel great to reject a crazy offer for one of our star players, even if we know that it will never come again.
Papa Alen. :delpiero:

NO.

Tell me this (and try not to be biased)

1) do you think Bonucci will be of the same quality if we start using Pjanic to develop our game cause his game is gonna be limited and he won't use so many long passes
2) I believe Barzagli and Chiellini being next to him make a great trio and they play better than their individual quality, yea?
3) do you think he'd succeed in England/City? I honestly (and I mean honestly) don't think he'd do good there

Pjanic presence will reduce bonucci's long ball? Pirlo was here and bonucci created many long ball.

1) His qualities will remain of course. Sure, we'd be less dependent on him because of Pjanic' ball playing ability, but that was the plan before we got him. We need to add quality not replace it.
2) Yes. There's no better collective than our trio in Europe.
3) I don't see why not. He's also great in a 4 men defense. What makes you think so?

Hmm, well, I think aggressive style in England wouldn't suit him and it'd expose his one to one weakness.

Yes imo. I don't think Bonucci will have as much as freedom. I'm not saying he's not gonna use them at all but I think 90% of his passes will be toward Pjanic.

His one on one defending is criticized here for some reason I don't get. His tackling is great as showed a lot of times these past 2 seasons. People only pay attention to his long balls for some reason.

I doubt Max would want that.

Why some people doesn't rate Kante?
i mean,i didn't watch him at all this season,but wasn't he the best DM in the EPL last year?
He's stats of tackling,interceptions are great and better than let's say Matic,Diawara,Biglia for example.
He's pass completion rate is fine and above average 82%+.

Maybe those who watched him can share more info.

Simple DM is too limited player for club aiming to win CL.
No big team plays with DM without creative skills.

But he's attacking contribution is also good.
Moreover,his stats are better than Busquets,Matic in Assists,Chances created,Key passes....
