Leonardo Bonucci (105 Viewers)

So why is Allegri being blamed for that? He simply repeated the club's policy on captain hierarchy. We have been doing it for years.

Surely a rhetorical question?

Because he left for Milan . He isn't the even the longest serving player.
Cuadrado is (and Sandro, but i hope he won't be a starter anymore).

If you go by this rule, then Cuads should always get the band if playing.

On the other hand if they would go for a leader quality guy, it should probably be Danilo or De Ligt. Bonucci is too dumb to be Captain.

Bonucci has played almost double the games that Cuads has for us. A lot to do with the fact that his best trait (until this season at least) has been being fit and available for almost all games.

I was under the impression leaving the club reset the service timer for captainy? Is that no longer the case?

Seems pretty obvious, no? And I'm not exactly his biggest fan. But credit where it is due, he has been more consistent in recent times, even in this shitty team. Most of his errors come when he gets comfortable, and this team never is.

As long as he keeps his mouth shut

But Dybala was captain before him

I had edited that post, but I think I forgot to save The second part was that Bonucci will be a starter next season, while Cuads, as much as I love him, (hopefully) is a rotation option. He had a poor season by his standards and doesn't really have the legs to start every game for us.

Dybala has been given the captaincy a few times towards the end of this season, probably as a gesture, but Bonucci is definitely the vice-captain as it currently stands - he was captain 20 or so times last season.

I think i saw it even before this season, them 2 together and Dybala wearing the armband

Yes that too. I hope Bonucci won't be a starter either though

We cant argue a lot about the decision. And im sure that Bonucci isnt afraid to stand up and speak, but I just dont see a natural leader in him and he talked shit to many times in front of the camera.

But honestly its difficult finding players in our team who really qualify as next captain. Maybe De Ligt in the future, or lets see how Chiesa develops.

Serious downgrade from Del Piero, Buffon and Chiellini tho

If Gabriel comes from Arsenal like rumors suggest, how can Bonucci even be the starter? MDL/Gabriel is far better. Only thing I can think of is letting Gabriel get acclimated to the squad/league?

We know CB reinforcements are coming. Gatti is clearly the lowest on the totempole. Bonucci/MDL/Danilo/Rugani/Gatti/????

Dybala is vice captain Allegri said it himself. Bonucci's appearances were reset when he moved to Milan. Allegri said he wanted to be captain he could buy himself an armband because he isn't getting it over Dybala.

You got it wrong. Bash Allegri first, then use logic and common sense.

Yes that is the choice Allegri made last year. I bet it annoys him that it defaults to Bonucci for next season lol. But in 2020/21 it was definitely Bonucci as VC.

If what you were saying was true Alex Sandro would be captain for next season, as he has 270 appearances. In fact Bonucci would be 5th choice behind AS, Cuads, Morata, Tek and Berna.

He's done, no more Barzagli or Chiellini to help me, De Ligt is not good enough

Yep.

And he doesn’t have the pure defending ability, drive and leadership that Chiellini has that made up for him losing his legs in his late 30s.

Huge mistake bringing this guy back in 2018.
