I dont really trust Bremer as our starting CB - playing 4atb and 3 atb is completely different and there were too many cases of players who shined with 3atb to look awful in 4 atb. He might be good option, but his price is 40m - thats what Torino demands from Inter, so he isnt really cheap too, but lets see. There are really no alternatives to KK and Bremer, but maybe we will be suprised. I dont believe this Gabriel rumours one bit, it will be someone different, maybe that Badiashile guy as we were reported to be following him for few years, but he looks to raw still.
How's that for a plan
Remember when De Ligt-Demiral was supposed to be our backline for the next decade? One year later and they are both gone.
I hate the fact that we cant attach ourselves to players anymore, because you know they could be gone at any moment.
Makes it harder to stay connected with the club like before with older generations.
Chiesa, Vlahovic and Locatelli seem like they could stay for a longer period though.

Add Romero to that list, but on the other hand u have Rugani case where we could sell him when he was still considered a top talent, but got attached to him and look how it turned out. Bad decisions but every club make those, look at Chelsea for example. I hope we won't do that mistake though with our current trio of young and promising midfielders.
De Ligt is overrated AF. I don´t care what he did at Ajax, as a Juve fan he never impressed me here. Poor body control, lacks pace, inconsistent and slow at building up from the back. Too often an accident waiting to happen, I never trusted him in big games. Yes he had his 5-6 game spans were he was solid, but to label this guy world class is just laughable.
If we get 80m for him it´s a good deal and we trim the wage bill as well.

De Ligt is an absolute beast for his age and his ceiling is crazy high. Not to mention the leadership qualities he already possesses and the fact he already captained Ajax at such a young age.
Defenders usually take alot longer to mature.
Barzagli was already 29 when he joined Juventus (for £300,000) and eventually matured into a world class player and stayed world class well into his 30s.
De Ligt iirc was 19 when he joined Juve and people were already expecting prime Maldini fucksake.

That’s the problem, he is getting paid like he was prime Maldini , but isn’t performing like one .
And let’s be honest he was outperformed by Skriniar,Chiellini,De Vrij,Koulibaly last 3 years , even Tomori,Bastoni had better season.
If he was getting paid 4m i would be okay with his performances , yes he is young but that doesn’t guarantee absolutely nothing,myabe he won’t progress.
We can’t gamble, you can sell him for 80m this season or you sell him for 40m next year if he can perform well , or even less if he doesn’t.
Don’t forget , he is highest paid player in the league, ofc we should ask for better performances .

Again, defenders don't win you games. Unless you've been living under a rock, teams defend as a unit now. It's all about systems and functioning as a unit. There are no more defenders in the mould of Cannavaro, Nesta, Chiellini, Baresi or Maldini. De Ligt is a very good young defender. Is he great? Definitely not, and perhaps he never will be.
Is he going to be a loss? Yes, but not as much as some of you might think. We just need to invest the money from his sale wisely to make our team a better unit. No BS Parepiss from PSG, no Fagjinho and no Plumberson. Those are the types of signings that set you back years.
