For those who say Juve should have made contingency plans and not made Pogba their main signing but also signed someone else to be a reliable Pogba 'replacement' in case of injury - can you please tell me who that name is outside of splashing money on an SMS type player?
First of all - Juve wouldn't have been able to sign Pogba if he wasn't in decline at Utd and if he didn't have injury problems. He would've demanded double the salary and would've been able to choose any club in the world. It was a risk that had to be made because we needed a player like him.
Second of all - Juve does not have the money, space or appeal to sign a player who is 70-80% of Pogba at his best to sit on the bench in case Pogba gets injured. RM can do that, Juventus cannot. Many clubs won't be able to have a player better than Rabiot on their bench.
Third of all - what happened to all the Fagioli support? Many here blame Max for not trusting young players more but when a young player is positioned to be in a bigger role because of an injury like Pogba's then those same people are the first to say club didn't do well to make contingency plans, Fagioli is too young and too inexperienced for such a role etc. Make up your minds.
