We needed 0 midfielders before, and once Marchisio and Sturaro are back, we need 0 'january' midfielders now.

Asamoah has been player of the season twice as the LWB under Conte and has been excellent as a cm for his nation and before at udinese.

Pereyra was largely disappointing and clearly wasent good enough so we sold him.

Sturaro

Yes, we do need 2 because playing with Hernanes, Lemina or Sturaro isn't good enough for a team who says it wants to win CL

Hernanes was on the field when we were trashing bayern at their home.
Sturaro was one of the best players on the field when we were playing madrid the season before

Are madrid and bayern teams that arent good enough to say they want to win the CL ?


And are any of them considered starters ?

That's very nice. I guess inter's players that beat us are good enough to win the Scudetto. Great logic

And no they are not starters. But they become such when Khedira, Pjanic or Marchisio are injured

Remember "2 great players for every position"?

Thats very nice. The notion that we were remotely as fired up and prepared for some game against inter in the league, compared to the biggest game of the season.


What a fantastic comparison.

And Real and Bayern being our biggest games of the season. ......

How did this nonsense about Sturaro being "one of the best players on the field against Real Madrid" start?

Because he made that desperate and lucky toe block of James' header?

He was decent against Real Madrid, even played well. But he wasn't within a country mile of being one of our best players in that match.

And it was just one game FFS. Outside of that he has shown what a limited, mediocre player he is

No, because of his surprisingly good game helping to disrupt their gameplan and creating a good amount of high recoveries by his positionning and pressure.

He's a great player to have in such games.

he had more than one good game for us though

You'd make a fine politician, just saying

Aside from the bayern game, sturaro has always played well in every high profile game we played in europe. Players you need to have in case you got injuries and just want to rely on to disrupt the opponent.


Juventus always had players like that in the selection, and always will. Sorry for that.

We cant expect him to be remotely objective. Hating anything that is not blessed with some technical or creative abilities

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

I know. Two or three good games. And a bunch of crap ones. But yes, he can be useful in certain circumstances, but he's not good enough to replace one of our midfield 3 if they're unavailable

So Hernanes is amazing all of a sudden? Cool. Not expected at all.

I don't get it. I like the player. But at best he should be our 6th or 7th midfielder. He's played 2 or 3 good matches in his Juve career thus far, and has quite a large number more terrible performances.

It's quite obvious we need, at the very least, 1 more top CM. I don't mind Lemina as the 5th CM, he has some good potential to develop. But I'd prefer a slightly better option in the mix with Marchisio, Khedira, Pjanic for a starting spot.

Amazing ? No, not at all. Khedira is amazing.

But Hernanes held his own in a khedira bossed midfield, and that is what a reliable substitude should be all about.


Not able to carry the game. But beeing able to replace a player in a working midfield, and hold your own, keep the team working.



Sturaro does exactly that. Hernanes after half a season started doing exactly that.

It was one game, Zach. Before you mention Bayern, you were crucifying the guy just a few weeks ago.

its more than 2-3

You are dramatically underestimating Sturaro in high level games, where we counter the opponent. Just saying.


Aside from that, we have 3 worldclass cm's when fit, and we have a big talent in Lemina. Next summer, we'll look at replacing one midfielder for a much better one.

I made a post about that in his thread explaining my view on him.

I wasent crycifying him " a few weeks ago". I was doing that most of last season, all the time.
