Benatia has been such a bitch the last few months though. He's literally depressed on social media, never posts anything about the team like the rest do and always posting these passive aggressive things.

Know the type, low-key got some inferiority complex and he deals with it by bitching on social media. Get rid.

Disgusting. If he's not careful we should sell him to Milan as punishment

 

[JuvePerSempre10]

His moaning aside, there has been no reason not to play him more often considering he was a solid starter last season, unless he showed bad behavior during training sessions and whatnot. Having said that, bitching on social media is never the solution. Pretty surprised however some other big teams aren't interested and he is actually considering Saudi-Arabia.

 

[DanielSz]

It’s his right to do whatever he wants and it’s ours as fans to tell him to fuck off. Goodbye see you never again.

So much hate in this thread.

I too would be upset if I was benched for an inferior defender in Bonucci who has cost this team so many goals.

header over Bonucci on 90th minute corner

It was also a ~90th minute Koulibaly header over Benatia that almost cost us the Scudetto last year....

Good thing Allegri benched his ass for the last 4 games in favour of Rugani.

 

[Hængebøffer]

Should not come as a suprise, he left Udinese, Roma and Bayern in bad terms. Why should it be different with us.


But it doesnt matter what he says, we should keep him until the summer.

He has been pretty meh for a while, but the most annoying thing has been his moaning.
But it’s still too risky selling him now.

And he made this stupid last minute foul against Real that cost us CL semis and Buffon his reputation.

Resulting in us conceding 4 goals in the last 4 games, 2 against 10 man inter Good thing Max put him back into the lineup for the coppa final and we kept a clean sheet, with him scoring twice as a bonus

After AS kept Ronaldo onside

Some players wouldnt even make it back in time to contest Vazquez on that play....

Only player i skipped when watching the netflix documentary. There's something about him i just can't stand. Nevertheless a good defender we maybe shouldn't have let go.

You’re so whiny right now.

I’m a fan of Benatia, unlike our dear B81 who called him the Moroccan Malaise and Couscous breath. I would far prefer we keep him, and rotate our CBs a little more often. He’s a good defender.

But Benatia was very close to as error prone as Bonucci for his entire time here. He was hardly some defensive god while Bonucci is a scrub. Our defending in CL with him as the starter last season was very poor.

Benatia is not perfect and has his weaknesses, but he's still miles ahead Bonucci in regards to defending

I disagree. I think he’s better at defending than Bonucci was performing this autumn, obviously, but about the same as Bonucci at his best as far as defending goes.

Miles ahead is ridiculous hyperbole.

At least we didn’t give him to Milan.

Especially on 1 vs 1 as well as marking, defending headers (even if Koulibaly did get past him) and anticipation, it's not close and pretty noticeable as evidenced by his matches this season where he got beat several times and his time at Milan. You wouldn't say the the same thing as now if we were in the 2017-2018 season and Bonucci was still at Milan.

 

[Valerio.]

a shame to let him go like that.
He is a good sub for us shame that we sell him to get Caceres... coudn't they find a better option?

 

[Mark]

bye...history

 

[KB824]

bye...history

I really hope this money is being used to get Ramsey here now. This makes no sense otherwise.

But hey, the Juve mantra of "If a player wants to leave, he can" continues even after Marotta. So maybe it wasn't Beppe's mandate after all........

Of course I wouldn't. He had a terrible season at Milan. That doesn't change his previous 3 years under Allegri, where he was a major part of 3 straight domestic doubles, and two CL finals runs on the strength of our defending. Where his 1v1, marking, defending headers, anticipation (which was actually very good), etc was nowhere near as bad as you're making it out to be.

Add to that we have a far better defensive record this year than we did last year, even with Bonucci not finding his best form yet, in large part because he makes it so much more difficult for teams to press us and cause mistakes playing the ball out.
