100%People get so fixated on this traditional number 9 idea. It's nonsense.
We're clearly working towards building a modern attack predicated upon skilled forwards who can play all across the forward line.
And Dybala himself is very talented number 9, a position he played often before Juve, so it would be very easy for him to occupy that role if Mandzu was injured, and have someone like Gabigol or Pjaca partner him. Barbosa can also play as AM, a position he does quite well in.
Not to mention we can play a modern 4-3-3 with Pjaca-Dybala-Barbosa, which would be like a younger version of Barca's MSN attack.
$#@!. That front 3 is so fapworthy in terms of future potential.

Shit. That front 3 is so fapworthy in terms of future potential.
That 4-3-3 finally becomes a viable alternative, but its not as strong as other formations we can field. But its massive we can perfectly play another formation if tactically significant.
'Oh, so you play 3 at the back ? Here, go play 1for1 with 3 skillfull pacy forwards who are excellent at beating their player. See how that goes

Morata arrived here with half the games and a fraction of the gametime under his belt compared to Barbosa.
By the time its peanut butter quarterfinal time, we are like 8-9 months further.
By that time, Alvaro was beeing a better clutch then what they fit in a group C race car.
SO whats the problem ?
But if you insist :
3-5-2 : Buffon/Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini/Sandro,Pogba,Marchisio,Khedira,Alves/Pjanic/Dybala
4-5-1 : Buffon/Alves, Bonucci, Chiellini, Evra/ Pjaca, Khedira, Marchisio, Pogba, Sandro/ Dybala
Exactly. Jesus christ how many options are we having here.

Also it's crazy to think Gabriel is more prepared to play for Juve than Morata was. Morata played in amd won a CL with Real ffs.

nice parody of a red cafe muppet.Dybala has played as the central forward all his life untill he came at juventus where allegri is molding him to be a support striker
Morata barely got more then a few minutes in the games he played. Barbosa played over twice his games, but full lenght.
We arent talking about defenders, midfielders or creative players here, but about a forward. How exactly is he going to adapt aside from having to press central defenders ?
Hence, the only thing that you'd want to alter with brazillian forwards of this type is further develop his skills but make him more efficient.

Our attack last season was Mandzukic-Dybala
Our attack this season is Mandzukic-Dybala
Only difference is that Manbro isnt injured and Dybala has significantly improved, so obviously our attack is stronger.
Our depth also got stronger because of all the options we have
Barbosa as replacement ?
Pjanic CAM behind one forward ?
Double wing with Pjaca and Sandro ?
Many options, all excellent, but starter quality increased and thats not easy at a worldclass team like ours

Has he played as LONE CF in wing based formations?
It's not only about the number of minutes played. Gab is coming from a league that is vastly inferior, much more open and worse defending, and a completely different style from La Liga. He's a few years younger and is moving to a different continent to play in the best defensive league in the world. He has a lottt more adapting to do.
I know if it was some other team signing you would agree that he would need some time before he's completely ready.
I'm sure we're going to get someone else
