Don't think it would make sense for any Italian footballer to leave your native Italy for England. Sure the Premier League is a better league and your salary will improve but the general standard of living, weather climate, culture and interaction between people is just so much less.

Yeah, a regular starter isn’t gonna leave Juve/Italy unless he’s forced to. Even Bonucci, the only guy in recent memory to leave Juve, didn’t go that far and came crawling back. He could’ve went and played for Guardiola years ago but didn’t wanna leave Italy.

Same for Pirlo & Totti with Madrid, or De Rossi with every Mourinho team. Its the benefit of signing local players.

And with the level of Italian talents improving, we can only get better now that we have a great coach

 

[Boksic]

Excellent signing

 

[zizinho]

A shame we didnt get him one summer earlier

 

[Lion]

yoooo

did u guys see him with that fresh hair cut and trimmed beard? my boy has been following my advice. keep up the good work Manuel!

 

[zizinho]

Not good today

 

[Luca]

Not good today

Played in a mid thats is shit against a really solid mid. Inter’s players cut him out today, it was so easy for them.

 

[JCK]

I wanted to ask about his record against Inter when he was at Sassuolo but it is not important now. Interesting to see how his record against his former employer will fare out.

I have to say you guys are overrating Loca a bit. He's a good player, but the rest of our midfield sucks so much, they make him look like a superstar, lul.

 

[Dostoevsky]

Horrible performance. Still, I'm glad we signed him.

What worries me is how during the summer I said how signing only Locatelli won't change much in our middle and that seems to be the case. It's painful to see how bad we are in that department.

 

[Boksic]

Can't run the midfield on his own.

Rabiot is atrocious and McKennie doesn't understand the game.

 

[U Picciriddu]

He seemed frustrated as hell. Had all his timings wrong, needed many fouls to survive.

 

[juve123]

Tough game

The midfield is so horribly out of sync though. McBurger too often is wandering around, simply in wrong spaces. Rabiot is a lazy diva and he's not that strong, just very tall.

Loca is the only positive note so far. Bentancur offers just covering a lot of ground and a few interceptions/tackles per game. Arthur doesn't fit 2-man midfield at all.

Max needs to think though how to rearrange things. I guess he could give a try to 433 but nothing will work until the midfield starts working as a whole.

 

[JCK]

He's been horrible recently

 

[Allegri_is_God]

He's been horrible recently

I guess the problem with him and Chiesa is that we get a little above average players, while we like to think that they are the world’s top players.

We always play terribly when Mckennie plays, he's just all over the place.

He understood it enough to score our only goal and almost win the ball back on their 18 to win the game with minutes left.

So Mckennie is dragging down Locatelli now?
