No, he won't. We're gonna keep playing Evra as he's a natural LB plus he had a very good season.
Evra is slow, he will be nothing but squad player next season.

Asamoah offers much more and playing him will allow Pogba to move forward and not worry about pushing Evra's wheelchair.

Dude, what are you saying? Evra is far superior to Asamoah who always looks out of place at LB...

Allegri, or anyone else for that matter, will hardly put any blame on Evra and his 'bad' display after we won Serie A, Coppa and reached CL final. In the second part of the season Evra was pretty damn great and I totally love the fact that we signed him. Age was not noticeable in his case as he offered quite a lot. We'll see when the new season starts but my guess is that we're going to see Evra as a starter while Asamoah will fill occasional holes as a LB or in the middle (hopefully -- as he's amazing there).

Yea although I hope Asa doesn't get frustrated by lack of playing time. He's too solid a player not to be playing. We need to find a way to fit him in. I'd love to see him in the middle of the pitch again, don't know if Allegri has already contemplated that I case of a possible Pogba sale.

@Amer and after that ridiculous error, evra was mostly impeccable for the rest of the season. he's slow, but his placement and judgement is almost perfect. also, he can cross - a rare skill nowadays at juve.

With Khedira here I don't see us fitting him in. And to be honest, I actually won't be surprised if we sell Asamoah to some EPL team. He'd explode there, surely.

I'd hate to see that. It's pity we're not playing in the midfield where he absolutely bosses.

Imagine Tevez stays for another season...

Tevez, Morata, Mandzukic, Dybala, Berardi, Pereyra and Zaza for the front 3 positions.

Damn.

We've also signed Khedira and Asamoah is returning.

Our depth is amazing as it's not just about quantity for us.

I'm worried as to how the injury has affected Asamoah. I wouldn't expect him to be at his best before december or something.

Nah, we're definitely not selling him.

Got to say this I didn't truly expect, but welcome, if though he has arrived for all intense and purpose, tevez leaving for boca and monaco offering 15 million for Llorente whose the next forward to be added?

The problem is this guy scores half of his goals on headers.

Ww have little width and no offensive fullbacks. Who will cross to him?

I don't think he suits the team well. Unless we could get a good offensive RB who is good at crossing, something that won't happen.

Damn, I had no idea this became (almost) official.

I think Mandzukic will prove many people wrong here. Sure, he's not gonna do as great as Tevez, but let's face it -- not many players could even pull such performances. Mandzukic is a beast and runs his lungs out, I think he's gonna be a great addition to this Juve as he has all the right characteristics IMO. Pretty excited to see both him and Dybala here (behind him and Morata?). Mario also helps out defense, just like Tevez did, so I like we're moving toward aggressive players with higher pace which is going to help us in Europe surely.

And 18mln? I think that's quite good price. I approve this transfer.

Oh and IF Mario is a Llorente replacement then this move is nothing but amazing.

Look at this. it's something a serious club like Juve can't allow.

LOL, it's like watching Milan or Inter.

And what exactly does 1 error prove? Or should we have dropped Buffon after he almost fucking cost us the scudetto 3 seasons ago?
