But isn't that true? Attackers are the stars of the game, every other position unfortunately is considered less glamourous and treated like a supporting cast even though it's those positions that are more often than not the positions that keep a game together.
To answer your question about Chiellini, I would make the trade between him and Isco as well. I don't get why Bonucci fans think he is being crucified. Make no mistake, he was one of the most important pieces of the Juve puzzle last season, so I don't think people would blindly trade him as part of just about any move.
This one rumour if it's anywhere close to being true, would be a hard one to miss out on though given how Allegri is setting up the team next season. Rather Bonnucci be sacrificed than Vidal or Pogba in my view, and I say this as a fan of Bon Bon this past season.
