damn it Cheesio, you simply dont want to understand
Tell me how ? How would 50 games be enough for 5 strikers playing 2 spots .??
1st, it wont always be 2 spots. Coman will mostly play in a 4-3-3 as i said already, because we will play that formation more than last season (Dybala, Draxler, Morata, Coman all can be used on the wings). and 2nd, you tell me how 50 games wouldnt be enough? take a look at this
2011/12: Vucinic 32 games, Matri 31 games, Quagliarella 23 games, Del Piero 23 games, Borriello 13 games
2012/13: Vucinic 31 games, Giovinco 31 games, Quagliarella 27 games, Matri 22 games, Bendtner 9 games/Anelka 2 games
2013/14: Tevez 34 games, Llorente 34 games, Quagliarella 17 games, Giovinco 17 games, Vucinic 12 games, Osvaldo 11 games
2014/15: Tevez 32 games, Llorente 31 games, Morata 29 games, Coman 14 games, Giovinco 7 games/Matri 5 games
this is league games only, without Coppa and CL. as you see, we always have 2 strikers that play 30+ games, and mostly a 3rd one that plays over 20 games and close to 30 games a season. based on this, we can predict the number of games our strikers will play next season: Morata, Mandzukic and Dybala close to/around/over 30 (depending on how far we go in the CL, injuries, how many midweek games we play etc.), Zaza and Coman 15-25 (depending on how many times they get subbed in/how many times we play 4-3-3)
So he can ask to leave next year, why not give Zaza's minutes to someone like Coman ?? we help develop him and nurtire his talent rather than buy Zaza to be a 4TH Choice striker.
yeah, why did we buy Pereyra. we have Vadala and are buying Draxler, should have gave Pereyras minutes from the bench to Vadala too. thats a silly argument. youre assuming Zaza will only play in meaningless games and when we have a 2 or 3 to 0 lead. Zaza is a rotation striker. he is a starter for Italy and a proven goalscorer in Serie A for 2 straight seasons. he will be getting us a lot of energy and goal scoring threat from the bench in close games as a sub. Coman, despite the fact i love him and im one of his biggest fans here, right now cant be delivering such an impact off the bench. he can play against the likes of Atalanta, Palermo etc. if we rest our starters or play a 4-3-3 for tactical reasons.
So we should play Morata out of position just to suit other players who are inferior to him as CF, great logic there
i see you like ignoring half of sentences to suit your argument. you remind me of Klin a bit in that regard. yes, Morata will play out of position SOMETIMES. and it wont be
just to suit other players who are "inferior to him". it will be 1. for TACTICAL REASONS, against opponents Allegri decides he needs more presence in the box when playing them for example and 2. to rest some other players like Dybala or Draxler (potentially). and if you think Morata would have any problems playing with Mandzukic, espeically against low-mid table Serie A teams, then you have no clue about both players. Dybala-Morata is still the preferred duo, especially in knock out games in the CL, but you need to understand that they cant be playing 40+ games each, with Coman getting the other 20 or so.
Lol, money sitting in the bench does matter when you have areas in the starting eleven that needs improving, and i watched for 10/12 games max and i can tell you he's mediocre and he would never amount to anything special.
Buffon
Licht-Bonucci-Chiellini-Evra
Khedira-Marchisio-Pogba
Draxler
Morata-Dybala
what exactly would you improve here. and with what available to buy player would you do it?
Zaza was an operation we started 2 seasons ago after he scored 18 goals in Serie B. we bought him in cheap, sold him twice which generated a positive effect on our finances, watched him for two seasons in Serie A in which he was scoring against most of the top teams constantly (Juve twice, Milan twice, Roma twice, Inter, Napoli...) and most of the goals came from his own effort like chasing the ball down, intercepting passes in build up play, scoring Quagliarellaesque screamers etc. he is capable of running with the ball and creating chances for himself, hes not a Matri type of poacher that is waiting in the box for service. he moves around a lot which also is giving more space for Draxler/Pogba/Khedira even Morata/Coman when playing on the wing to run into. the fact that all of Nedved, Paratici, Marotta and Allegri wanted him here, that he himself wanted to come here and fight for the minutes with such guys liek Morata Dybala and Mandzukic obviously shows that he is ready for a club like Juventus. dismissing him before even playing a game, and calling him mediocre on top of that is very naive. i expect better from you Cheesio

So Barcelona are lucky with injuries I guess. Because we would have suffered badly last year with their policy.
Their style and system throughout the youth set up helps a lot, it would be very difficult for us to implement something similar at this stage, although I know that is what we are working towards.
Barcelona are
just pumping their players with all kind of drugs to be able to endure so many games. Messi for example played all 38 league games last season, Neymar 33 and Suarez 27 while missing half a season almost. Pedro played more than Suarez and Neymar, 35 games while they also had Munir playing 10 games
