Also I don't think we are getting 10 goals out of each of Mac and Rabiot..even combined 10 is a stretch..
Considering the fact that in the last 40 years (I got bored checking, and I couldn't bother to go further in the past) there wasn't a single instance when two of our midfielders scored 10 goals or more in the same season, it's not probable that we'll witness it next season.
As a matter of fact, if we take only serie A/B into consideration, only three times a midfielder scored 10 or more goals in the championship (Vidal twice and Nedved once in serie B) and only 5 Juve midfielders in the last 40 years had seasons where they scored 10 or more in all competitions (Nedved three times, Vidal and Pogba twice, Zidane and Marchisio once each).

It will be hilarious if it happens, indeed :D

But I seriously doubt it. In my post above I said that Vidal was the only Juve midfielder who scored 10 or more in serie A in the last 40 years, and even he did it because he was taking the penalty kicks. Without those, he'd have finished below 10.
But that's not as important as is the fact that it's hard even for attackers to score a great number when Ronaldo is in the team. No matter which midfielders we have or buy, I don't see them scoring a lot in a team that has Ronaldo, Dybala, Morata, Chiesa and even Kulusevski in front of them. Vidal was scoring the goals when we had Vucinic and Matri in attack.
I doubt, though, that Allegri seriously expects 10 goals from Rabiot, or McKennie. He's motivating them. And tbh, 5-6 goals is an ok number from a midfielder if the attackers do their job.

Loving the words from that conference. The boss is back! Quite clear his approach is to focus on what is best for the team rather than what is best for individuals.

Obviously a massive tip of the hat to Pjanic’s return. We really do need to move a couple of our CMs on if we’re going for Loca and Pjanic.

Surely we will set up in a 4231… really curious as to how he’s going to work that with the players we have/want

"At this moment to say who and how we will play is very difficult. I'll think about it when I have everyone available, next week. Then I'll have to get create a balance. We have to play well and get results."

Key word there that he has been repeating for years - balance.

We missed this for 2 years and fucked ourselves big time.

Always said this, Xaver Schlager from bundes would be basically our new Vidal.
Never saw or heard. just from this one video i know this much the way he takes those balls away is no joke that's special.. pretty good eye too..23 years old and under Max this guy can explode yes..he's about 20M$ now I'd say he is worth a gamble up to 25m$ ish.

U won't find much about him, have to watch bundes daily, he showed glimpses of his talent at the Euro, Austria did good vs Italy and didn't loose midfield battle.
