Paulo Dybala (211 Viewers)

Yep, because Moratta did extremely will this year, axed 3 proven leaders, one of them for the bargain of the century,and replaced them with either nothing, washed up players, or potentials.

Tevez wanted out. He would have refused to come back if we didnt allow it.
Pirlo was finished, to last years standards. We let him go because it was the right thing to do, and because we still had vidal.
Vidal wanted to go, and we sold him a bit on the low side.


He didnt "axe" fucking anyone. We didnt anticipate Vidal would decide to drink his booz at Bayern, and Marotta was forced to reopen his mercato where he failed to find a suitable replacement.


Blame Marotta for not getting an established cam. I'll agree but point out Cuadrado has been great for us. Blame him for not replacing Vidal better.

Do not say he "axed" those 3. Thats just stupid. And no one anticipated Mandzukic to be this underwhelming.

I don't get why people think Dybala is incapable of playing as a striker/CF, something he did for Palermo and for Instituto. And this idea that he's tiny, a Gio sized player. He's 1.77m. He's not short. 13cm taller than Gio. He's not a tall striker, but he's taller than Aguero, a few cm shorter than Suarez, and so on. He doesn't have to be pigeonholed as a support striker. He's too much the poacher for that, add to that the creativity which is a massive bonus, and he has the capability to become world class as a very versatile forward. Able to play both CF and SS.

But he certainly should be spending a lot of time in and around the box...

Yes, he's very good at CF too. But in a team like Juve, playing in Italy I don't believe your prima punta can be someone who is easily knocked off the ball.

Even Messi would struggle in that role playing vs Catania, Chievo, etc.

He played as a prima punta last season against the same adversaries we'll face and did just fine. He wasn't easily knocked off the ball then. It might be that sitting deeper in the final third allowed him to be the one receiving that final pass. Allegri wants him to be that connection between our mid and attack. Not sure if we'll be using his 100% that way. He's not the most pacey but very quick in tight spaces like Romário.

Struggle is an exaggeration. We're not talking about Italy in the 80's/early 90's. Those defences you mentioned are pretty shit and a player of his calibre would surely find ways to deal with compact-parking-the-bus-defences.

Thing is that he's an excellent passer, his through ball are what have impressed me the most of him actually. I think he can'd fully utilize that part of his game as a prima punta.

He's indeed a good passer. But playing deeper upfront did not stop him from getting assists and just creating stuff out of nothing last season. The difference is that before, sure he had the freedom to track back/cover the flanks occasionally but he mainly stayed in and around the box, which is something I personally prefer.

The best we saw of him I believe was when Pogba played a more forward role just behind him. Two highly technical players and intelligent on the ball put together and they naturally understood each other. The chemistry was there from the get go.

 

[digitalbash]

What position was Pogba playing that game?

 

[CrimsonianKing]

Something resembling a TQ.

 

[Cronios]

If the Lavezzi rumors hold any water, would that mean that Dybala is about to be loaned away with the right to buy for 14mil?

Which illustrates exactly why Dybala should not be the one connecting the mid to attack. He's by far at his best when he has another creative/technical player behind him connecting the midfield to the attack which he is part of. Pogba can do this very well, as can Pereyra even if his end-product is often found wanting... But Dybala should not be the one doing so on a regular basis.

Unfortunately, by the sounds of it that's what Allegri has in mind.

We have plenty of CMs even though some have been really bad and Khedira has a broken body... Pogba should be given a chance at the AM role. Put him next to Dybala and see what they can come up with.

It pains me to say this given that he's put some really good performances for us but it was a mistake to get Cuadrado. We did not only moved away from the formation to got us to a CL final, we have to field Morata out of position in order for it to (somewhat) work. And now, talks of Lavezzi... if it happens, Dybala is as good as gone unless he's fine with rotting in the bench.

 

[Post Ironic]

And this is exactly the problem with Beppe... He's an opportunist, and doesn't seem to plan transfer windows around building a team. Instead, we take every deal/opportunity we can get regardless of whether the coach or the squad need the player or not. It worked out in 2011... and now, conversely, it's looking like a nightmare.

That's what happens when you have a limited coach.

Even the sporting director's limitations will be exposed badly.And Marotta has his own limitations.

If we had a better coach, one who can adapt, the damage would've been to a much lesser degree.

Adapt to a winger based formation with only one winger. Or be given 4 CFs and no true SS to play your classic 2 strikers-TQ-based formation, and Hernanes is the best the board can give you for your go to guy role.

Having said that, Allegri is to blame for several things this season. He hasn't been the greatest motivator and some of his starting choices/excuses have been arguably bad. We also happen to lack an identity this far into the season which is unacceptable.

I also do believe he failed to create a "new" system that could somehow fit all those random players that were thrown at him. But saying that it's easy or that any "better" coach could do it is rubbish. Only an excellent motivator could have managed to lessen the damage seeing as our players are just psychologically beat right now and the pieces given to fit our puzzle were simply wrong and that falls under our board's fault, and that's where the problem started. We fucked it up at the mercato.

Nah, that wouldn't happen.



Burpee will probably do 15M because he likes odd numbers.

Can't wait to see Juventus #7 Sau lineup next to Zaza.

 

[Klin]

Sau

He'll do much better than Zaza that's for sure.

Oozing potential. In 2025 we'll be reaping the rewards.

So I think I remember you got banned for being critical of this guy (?), and now every other day you're going to be in this thread, trashing a good young player, from your own team. To try and validate some ridiculous point you've made (that Dybala isn't Messi, or worthy of his price tag after 3 months playing for a side in total chaos) -- rather than supporting a good player, from your own team.

You're going to be that guy, being a total annoyance, adding nothing to the conversation other than repetitive spamming.

Nice work. Not pathetic at all.

 

[Scottish]

Speaking of not pathetic I liked what Dybala brought to the game. Lots of running and glad he finished that half chance

Nobody takes him seriously. It's linebreak, dude.
