jorginho would need time to adjust and integrate, i wouldnt swap. pjanic has more experience with winning and is playing since his early days with lyon always as a fundemental part of his teams

No he wouldnt. He already played with Sarri and played in serie A. He would fit nicely.

 

[Kopanja]

Jorginho won't improve us. At best our midfield stay on the same level, but I really doubt it. Pjanic is a better player.

 

[suligodsilla]

i hope pjanic stays with us for the next 4-5 years. he is one of those players who get better with age

 

[Signora Omicidi]

I would sell him and bring in Tonali to replace him.

swap for Pogba anyone?

If you move on from Pjanic then you have to change the way you play. Bentancur and Rabiot can do his job for 80% of the matches but when you face the big teams who want to come take the ball from you, they will cause a problem.

Changing the way you play might not be a bad thing, I won't argue those merits, it's hard to say. But simply putting someone else in Pjanic's position might not work the way you think.

Bentancur is surprising us more and more every year though.

fair enough im on a Rabiot for holding mid kick lately though.

i wouldnt play Bentancur there. Not because he is bad but because him and matuidi are the only true B2B mids we have and matuidi has his obvious limitations.

imo it would be crazy to not make Bentancur RCM

 

[Kopanja]

Rabiot is not tidy enough with the ball to play there. He doesn't have a good long pass, teams won't need to press him and will just sit deeper. And he is great LCM.

 

[campionesidd]

I don't want us to sell him, unless we get Pogba or SMS.
Otherwise, we'll just be replacing like for like (at best).

is the regista currently making many long passes?

No, partly because he is pressed constantly, he has time to receive ball, maybe one-two touches, sometimes without even looking around and that's it. Pirlo was able to do it even under pressure, but Pirlo is a genius.

I agree with this.
4-2-3-1 would be nice.

I wouldn't sell atm, rather move him further up. He's not good enough as a regista, there's no doubt about that. Bentancur or Rabiot should be playing there.

With his traits im not sure he would work as b2b.... Maybe as am... but in this juve team we need that our 2 mosr active midfielders are very dynamic, and betancur rabiot provide that....

Pjanic on the toher hand is very flimsy physically and in his current weatheres down physical form.... Well.... Im not sure.

He also commits some silly fouls and gets carded. Now imagine making him hustle even more.

that said, i think we need to see more of the betan pjanic rabiot midfield to let them gel.

Then we can have a clearer picture

 

[Bianconero81]

If Pjanic is the necessary sacrifice to bring in Pogba (assuming Tonali is already coming in), then so be it.

 

[Andrea_Pirlo_10]

I often critize him but he still the only player who COULD play through balls and long balls so we need him.

who, when, how?

you speak about bonucci?

 

[Signora Omicidi]

He won't work as a b2b player. He doesn't have a single attribute suited for that role.
Max tried him at b2b , and he failed miserably. Then he changed his position and made him a permanent regista.
