Manuel Locatelli (18 Viewers)

We don't need solid. We need exceptional.

"Solid" players is why we are mediocre.

Solid players in his role went on to become club legends before though

He's fine as water carrier type of player. But yeah, obviously should be paired with mids who aren't mediocre hacks themselves.

Luiz and Thuram were considered exceptional options before the start of the season.

Their problem is clearly they both don't offer defensive solidity as much as what Loca can offer

They're not either solid AMs who can perform that role properly. No complaints about Thuram, for the amount we paid he is good enough and still has a lot of room to develop and build his talent.
But Luiz was overrated and overvalued. If it were up to me I would have paid 20/25m.

We don't need solid. We need exceptional.

"Solid" players is why we are mediocre.

We won Scudetti with Giaccherini and Pepe as wingbacks and Matri and Vucinic as forwards. We reached a CL final with Roberto Pereyra as a protagonist nr 10 in a knockout game vs Dortmund. Etc. The best Juve side have always relied on a mix of the exceptional, solid, smart and grinta.

Point being, if big money attacking signings like Vlahovic, Koopmeiners, Gonzalez etc stay fit and start delivering consistently we will be fine with the Locatelli of Wednesday doing the dirty work behind them.

Defence very good, but anything related to attack big no, this dude cant pass

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

Creative blackhole. With him and Thuram in midfield we create NOTHING.

[Siamak]

He is not a creative midfielder nor a goal scoring midfielder, If he takes DM role he can contribute in defense phase and improve the squad drastically with delivers through balls and make crucial passes but putting him in AM spot would kill creativity in the middle.

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

Why not try him and Koop in a 2-man midfield and move Yildiz to the centre behind Vlahovic

Because our coach is stubborn and pretentious.

Excuse me but are you judging?

Why not try him and Koop in a 2-man midfield and move Yildiz to the centre behind Vlahovic

Why not try him in a three man midfield at Sassuolo?

They're not interested unfortunately

He's statistically the third best midfielder in the league and the best in one certain statistic, I can't remember what it was. But something obviously not so easy to see while watching.

If he is third best midfielder in the league then the league has regressed even more then I thought.

 

[Siamak]

lol
Imagine a league where Locatelli is the third best midfielder.

He has God on his side. It's god's choice to determine people fate. You must not criticize it.

 

[Brny44]

Maybe third slowest player yes
