Medhi Benatia (36 Viewers)
- Thread starter Dostoevsky
- Start date
People are saying his an outcast but he went to asia for money. Epl clubs wanted him. Utd and Arsenal both linked. He could have gone to another big european club challenging for trophies instead he goes from Juve to Asia money. Cant be a refusal to sell to other euro team we have sold players like Vidal and Pogba. Age wise particularly. He could have gone to Asia post 35. Football playing wise he has wasted his best years there now. But money talks.
No it was signing Bonucci in the summer when we could have signed someone else. We already knew from past about Bonuccis shortcomings. Bonucci signing also meant curtains for Benatia. Bonucci is the catalyst. After what him and Allegri went through (yes maybe nth happened in cardiff but remember Allegri benched him in previous Champions League game) before i found it odd signing and he has never been elite defender.
Sorry Dai. I love you Bro, but Bonucci as a pure defender is absolute dogshit. We should've never brought him back, especially after that stunt he pulled. I haven't seen those legendary passes out of defense this season, and when he's left with a weak partner in defense, he's no leader. He's always needed Chiellini or Barzagli to hold his hand.
why not, sounds like a good deal to get a defender with WC ceiling and hopefully at least 2 seasons left in him. I wonder whether we'd have to pay the 10m back to that Qatar club or could we reduce it.
him leaving because of coach, us sacking the coach and getting him back all in 5 months is a bit strange, but it's nowhere near as awkward as Bonucci's power shifting side-mission
