- Tags 50-50 a_legend bonuccbauer butthurt judas much passing. wow pep's favourite "defender" prodigalsonreturns wasteman supreme
If Rugani is does become anything like Nesta, then I want a brute à la Montero/Chiello next to him not Bonucci, and honestly I am absolutely sick and tired of seeing our defenders having lots of time on the ball, I absolutely HATE IT!!!! 3-5-2 with Chiellini running up with the ball and Bonucci playing regista drove me NUTS and that was when we had Pogba Vidal and Pirlo and those 2 fuckers STILL had more ball time 
That's kinda why I wouldn't mind Bonucci leaving, I want us to push forward with technical players not defenders.

2 points:
1) Bonucci is one of the best passers when it comes to defenders. We will lose that without him, Chiellini and Benatia will just hoof the ball. Barzagli is declining, Rugani will have to start instantly and Caldara potentially too if Barzagli decline or leave in summer. Huge change at the back, lets add that we might add Verratti for Khedira and Di Maria for Cuadrado. Seems a lot of change, i can see a difficult start where not all settle in, remember 2 years ago.
2) Even if for a longer term, selling Bonucci right now would bring a negative message. Selling another major star (sold Vidal and Pogba previous summers, selling Bonucci now, is Dybala gonna go next year?), like i already said Barcelona, Bayern and Real dont sell their key names/players who start regularly unless there is personal reasons (Kroos wanted new challenge, left for Real).

I'd also argue that having players like Bonucci helps attract players such as Sanchez. Selling big players rarely helps when it comes to attractiveness.

Maldini and Nesta was an okay partnership and Maldini is hardly a brute but I get your point. I love me some old school Montero/Chiello kinda guys too.

There is no need to
If a player wants out you convince him to stay
If still he wants out you sell him to the highest bidder (Ala Zidane) but then you invest double. I don't think any starters want out. Keep em. Give us some depth in attack and the midfield, quality depth that can push for starting spots. That's all we need

In all honesty, I fully trust Marotta and co. But the trend from the last few years that shows that we sell (or release) players from our starting 11 is undeniable. I said sandro has a high risk of leaving bearing in mind that he has a lot of suitors, hasn't signed a new contract (yet), and the club selling trend. Bonucci I was just guessing, because he almost left us last year

But as @GordoDeCentral said, we need to stop selling our best players. It needs to be our main objective.
