Matthijs de Ligt - CB - Ajax (24 Viewers)

[rakib567]

I'm not saying Benatia is not a piece of shit but the end result is undeniable. Allegri is to blame, too. He played Chiellini and Bonucci every game until they both got injured, even though Benatia was in better form than Bonucci.

he only played rugani/benatia when he had to.

We should close this thread. This guy it too good and too young for us. We should continue fielding the bonehead in defense for his amazing long/diagonal passes, notwithstanding the fact that he's a pathetic defender.

 

[Juliano13]

How do you know he was in better form if Allegri played Chiellini and Bonucci every game?

Hoho.

Benatia had a much better last season than Bonucci. This season Allegri strated Bonucci immediately and he showed no sign of improvement. It's a safe assumption.

Hope we at least land Varane if Varane rumors are true.

There's no great option outside those two.

one thing is for sure that even if we get him, he will ride on the bench. ligt's arrival could see either bonucci or rugani leave Juventus. we don't stand a chance.his playing style is suited for Barcelona since Ajax play the same style as Barcelona.

 

[pavluska]

He's too good to ride the bench. Should be an automatic starter next to Chiellini. That bit was already clear after watching first leg. Bonucci would be sold.

He'd improve more at Juve, that'd be the smarter decision for him, but it's best to forget about him now unless there's a drastic change of events.

It's obvious he's going to barsa, he's just doing ajax a favor so they can negotiate for a higher price

No team would be interested in buying Bonucci.

Frankly id happily sacrifice bonucci or Rugani if it meant getting de ligt

id sacrifice Rugani for Ranocchia, let alone de Ligt

 

[pavluska]

Lol at or Rugani.

Yeah, keep 32 yo error prone Mr 50-50 and pay him 6m or whatever high salary we're paying him for bench (and as if he himself would be ok with it esp given his past) instead of 24/25 yo club homegrown Rugani.

Good point.

But I also don't see Bonucci accepting bench and trying to find a way out, trying being the operative word.

In any case, unlikely we'll sign both a quality CB and a quality CM. We never complete the team.

Likely it'll be another Benatia for defense (enter Manolas) and we may finally sign a semi decent mid.

de ligt is expensive as a defender. buy Romero instead and save money for rebuild the midfield.

Nah let's not be cheap on defenders. De ligt is an incredible talent and a leader at such a young age he is perfect in replacing chiellini

I'd sacrifice both

 

[Badass J Elkann]

I'd sacrifice both

And khedira for safe measures

Why would you sacrifice a defender for an attacker??

 

[zizinho]

Why would you sacrifice a defender for an attacker??

Because from 2 equally mediocre bums, i chose the less annoying one

 

[Adrian]

Allegri starting an 18 yr old? You have to ride the bench until you are in your mid 20s under Allegri.

 

[JuveMkd]

So you are telling me there is a chance??
