If we are able to facilitate a move for a great AM,i would definitely sell Pogba this summer.

But thats the thing.Im not completely sure we'll be able to pull it off.

I think most of the work is done.

Llorente or Ogbonna might still leave, maybe we get a young fullback for a couple of millions, and it's still not clear where Berardi will play the next season, but don't expect anything major.
Hmm strange that we would end up another season without a Trequartista. So i guess Vidal and Pereyra will be sharing the role?

not a fan either but this is getting desperate, i will kill myself if we spend the next year depending on licht as our main attacking threat
I mean I do think that there is a certain lack of creativity in our presumed lineup, but I don't by far think that it's as bad as it's made out to be. Tevez, for all his virtues, primarily isn't a creative force either, and we did just fine last season, even (or especially) in matches where Pirlo didn't play.

And while we probably won't have a classical playmaker starting (assuming Pirlo doesn't), most of our players in midfield and attack (bar Mandzukic, Zaza, Llorente) can create a little bit at least. Marchisio has had a few killer passes this season, Pogba can come up with something out of nowhere, Vidal has his throughballs occasionally, Pereyra is a great dribbler, Dybala & Berardi great passers.

All in all the concern is greatly blown out of proportion imo.

Only if he's available on the cheap with reasonable wages which wont be the case so pass.

Now,how about selling Pogba to buy De Bruyne with the money ? Not saying i want it to happen but just throwing suggestions.

(Apparently there's seems to be some problems with his contract extension)
Belgium has an awfull perception of serie a.

Everyone hates it, including press, media, analysts, coaches and players.


De Bruyne absolutely wont consider a juventus offer.

all your options above are maybes and tevez is special as in hes a confirmed WC player who just needs the ball in the final third, we dont have that, cant possibly mortgage the season on dybala.

I still wouldn't sell Pogba in any deal not completely beyond imagination if he doesn't ask to leave.

He's definitely WC, but not that creative tbh. I'd argue that Dybala, if he doesn't flop completely, is more of a creative player than Tevez for example, although he's of course lacking many other qualities Carlitos has.

The cam, if we play one, is obviously pereyra.


People who are naming vidal, have a very short therm memory
Vidal has pretty much always started at AM if everyone was fit.

It's not a matter of what we think, it's that we know Vidal will start on big matches. Which leads us to believe Allegri doesn't believe Pereyra is the permanent guy for that role.

And honestly, i don't think he is either.

Dybala-Morata
Dybala-Mandzukic
Morata-Mandzukic

Dybala
Morata-Mandzukic

All has a chance to work I think. Morata's pretty versatile. It's not like there is no chance he could work with Mandzukic, it could be worth trying briefly.

Vidal has pretty much always started at AM if everyone was fit.
At the beginning of the season he did when Pirlo was a starter.
Then we went to Marchisio, Pogba, Vidal, Pereyra.


Then Pirlo came back into the team when Pogba got injured and Pereyra kept beeing the cam and continiuing to improve.

Then came the madrid games, in wich we sacrificed pereyra to play pirlo, since Pogba was still out
Then came the return game, in wich Pogba replaced sturaro
Same for barcelona game.



With a fit Pogba, Pirlo wouldnt have been in the team, and we'd play pereyra.



The highest quality juventus games, were with the MVPP midfield
