There're no guarantees, but seriously wouldn't you like to take that gamble? One of Spain's most promising players for Bonucci. I'd be down for that.
Well no, our defence is our greatest strength and Bonucci is a guarantee for us. I wouldn't break that up for a player who is talented but has proven he can perform at the level we require.

No I don;t I just don't think he's that good of a defender, and that he had his best season last year. But I don't think we will see anything better from him.

Honestly? I have no clue, since I don't fallow trades, but I doubt there is no defender of such a "high" quality as his on the market.
there isnt, and any adequate replacement would cost as much if not more without bonucci's intangibles, hes a true leader of this team and a real juventino, so id say forget selling him.

not anymore im afraid, who would you buy at CB?
Well, I guess it would depend on where that defender would fit in the pecking order, assuming that Bonucci and Ogbonna are gone. You will need at least 1 central defender to go with Barzagli, Chiellini, and Rugani.


Preferably left footed, but not essential if that defender can play off his right foot in a LCB position.

They wouldn't be needing to spend starter type money. In all honesty, they would need to find a CB better than Ogbonna, and that would be quite a challenge

Ok, now that we have had a good laugh. In all honesty I think that you would look for a veteran presence. No point in bringing in another young player. Or you could use Caceres as a swing guy between RB and CB.

As cruel as thsi sounds, maybe going after one of Parma's pending free agents, such as a Feddal or a Costa.

Again, no one too fancy. Just someone who would be cool with that 4th CB spot

doesnt sound cruel at all, but i was more referring to the scenario where we let bonucci go who would replace him, as weird as that sounds i cant think of anyone, i guess madrid are not so stupid to go after him.

You got to be kidding me, Serge.

You seriously don't see the upside from isco and the talent he has?
Not by creating a hole in the back.

Isco for bonbon is almost a no brainer. Sadly, klin has some points.

Ill say this as a huge bonucci critic. Heck, he hasnt convinced me yet.

The problem in givin bon, is that we will thow away all this years we wasted training his useless ass, and now that he seems to be getting the hang of it, it would be a shame to sell him. We all kknow that experienced CB are worth more than meets the eye.

And the other reason, we simply dont have a constant on the defense other than bon. Lets say we bring rugani and sell ogbona. We will end with barza, chiello, rugani and caceres as the other back up just in case. Rugani seems destined to be something else, and IMO is ahead of bon on all frints except of experience, but most importatly, he hasnt been tested yet in our team, and again, lack exp.
Barzagli is injury prone, and chiellini is jjust too random.

We can seriously get into a mess if luck doesnt smile on us and we suddenly find ourselves with an injured barza, an ofform chiello and rugani.

Its very very risky...

For real i might have watched 5 or more. But strange as it is I have seen a bit more from his malaga days, and that is where I really liked him.
Good, and I like him too. It just doesn't make sense solving a problem by creating another one, unless we have infinite amount of money in our transfer budget, and even then, you don't sell loyalty.

We will see next season, hopefully if he's still here he will carry on his form. But I really don't believe that he can carry his form, hope I'm wrong if he stays. But if he leaves, I'll dance that night for sure.

How am I kidding you?

They already have Barzagli and Rugani to share the load in Bonucci's absence.

They wouldn't need to go out and spend the money to replace Bonucci with someone of his skill set.

We'd be actually removing a hole from the back :p
Bravo. This comment really doesn't make sense if you actually watched Juve play last season. How many time does he have to prove you wrong? It's like you're butthurt because he was more important to us than Pogba. Geez.

Barzagli's fitness is very worrying and I doubt we'd want to give Rugani that important of a role so early. If we sell Bonucci, we need to properly replace him.
