I'm not losing sleep if he goes there. We have Fagioli now and Rovella next year, and some older players that can play infront of defense. Right now I'd rather we get mezzalas, our midfield play in the final 3rd sucks
He’s a must sign in my opinion. I don’t see Rabiot playing in front of our defense for a whole year, and Bentancur shouldn’t be a option for obvious reasons.
Locatelli would bring much needed balance, and he will come for a fair price and acceptable salary.
Im not sure if we will see Fagioli and Rovella at the club next year. I think that we will decide to continue with one of them and take the easy route for the other. Fagioli away on loan I’m guessing. As far as I know Fagioli showed more promising things than Rovella at youth level. I can judge Fagioli as I’ve seen him obviously, and when they played together at Italy U17 Fagioli played a huge role in Italy reaching the final, but Rovella has Serie A experience and that will probably make a difference. Pirlo kinda destroyed this year for Fagioli, I had high hopes but a year riding the bench made Nicolato deciding to keep him at home for the U21 Euro’s. So imagine we basically have the MVP of Italy’s Euro U17 two years ago, and we changed it to someone who doesn’t get selected for a team that’s already knocked out in the QF, by 2 goals of a Portugese attacker we sold to Monza for peanuts while playing with fucking Brighenti this whole year.
@JuveJay @DanielSz This is what you would call fucked up!
We still have Ranocchia and Barrenechea in our youth who look a lot more like Locatelli in terms of characteristics, with Ranocchia being further in his development. Knowing Juventus it doesn’t seem very likely that we suddenly will play 2 unproven youngsters, let alone 3 of them. Ranocchia was together with Correia the most important U23 player, playing consistently and basically always one of the better players on the pitch, at least in the matches that I’ve seen.
