Barzagli: ‘Bonucci? No comment…’
By Football Italia staff
Juventus defender Andrea Barzagli won’t discuss a potential return for Leonardo Bonucci as “it’s not fair on those who are here now”.
Along with Giorgio Chiellini, the pair formed part of the famous ‘BBC’ defence which helped the Bianconeri to win six Scudetti in a row.
The partnership was broken up last year though, when Bonucci joined Milan in a shock €40m deal.
It’s now thought that the centre-back wants to return to Turin, but his former teammate isn’t keen to discuss getting the BBC back together.
“Beyond the relationship with Leo, I think it’s not fair on those who are here now to talk about it. It’s something for the club to decide, and I think they know very well what to do.
“Paul Pogba? After a signing like [Cristiano] Ronaldo you can link so many names to Juve but I don’t know anything, it’s nothing to do with me.”

Total nonsense. Our build-up play has deteriorated because of our deteriorated midfield. Like it's been said before, it'd make no sense to bring him back considering his wages and our urgency to sign a top midfielder. We don't need a good passer in defense and we shouldn't go back to 3-5-2. That formation has gotten us nowhere in Champions League.
Man I used to come to this thread to laugh and now I come here to cry.
I can't believe this is happening, I mean has he got no pride left?
How can he even look his Torino supporting son in the face
If we take him back and he has one of his classic brain farts in a CL knockout game are fans will turn on him and his confidence will be shot to hell if it isn't already.
What a crazy Mercato.

Oud midfield in 2017 was
Pjanic
Khedira
Dybala
Mandzukic
Cuadrado
In 2017 that mid 2 simply didnt work at all and we needed a mid 3 cause we struggled immensely to get the ball forward
That was because teams marked pjanic and pressed quickly and we couldnt get the ball fast and effectively over the press
In 2017 if they pressed the defence and mids, players ran behind the press and Bonucci, or if he was getting pressed, pjanic, send the ball over the press
There is a simple reason why modern top teams all have at least 1 regista'esque cb. Because you cant press all the way to the CB as he'll simply find players in the space you leave behind you

That's not true. RM don't have a "registaesque" CB. Ramos isn't one and I'm pretty sure Varane isn't one either. However, I do agree we need a mid 3 to crowd the midfield and have more control and possession.
Like you said, Pjanic needs a hand but it shouldn't come from defense, it should come from the midfield itself. Just like Pirlo was covered by Marchisio and Vidal back in the day. Imagine we could build a team like that but instead of having Vucinic, Matri or Tevez in attack, have a Ronaldo, Dybala, D. Costa.

You underestimate Chiellini's ability with the ball. While he's not a top passer (and he shouldn't be), he's still good with his feet. It's not uncommon to see Chiello dribble past some players and join the attack.
The point is, we don't need Bonucci. We did fine last season without him and we will be fine without him. Caldara is a potential WC defender, Bonucci would just make it more difficult for Calda to develop.

I care little for the improved footballing aspect in this case (whole heartedly would welcome back Pogba, Vidal etc). I just cant 
You go from this:
To this?
And you expect to be welcomed back?????

He fucked up

Lol.
Benatia had a career before Juve, if you didn't know. He was superb at Roma, and mostly at Bayern. it took a while to find his feet at Juve, but when he did he was mostly solid. Again, I'm not a fan of Benatia, but he's a better defender than Bonucci and it's laughable to even debate.
Bonucci only started to look good when we began playing 3-5-2, so we could make use of his passing while not having to depend on him to defend.
I guess it's a coincidence he sucked at Milan. Or it's the rest of the team's fault?
But don't worry, I won't forget to mention you every time he proves me right this season

Benatia looked good at Roma, very bad at Bayern and overall meh at Juve.
