Look, I agree the quality can be regarded as equal. History even shows Sami has done more than both Can and Bent. Who knows, maybe neither of their careers end up as good as Sami's has been. I just so wanting to see offensive firepower on display for Juve and Sami presently seems to be the least effective in that role. Maybe I'm completely wrong and Sami doesn't slow down Juve? Win a CL with him in there 50% of the time and I no doubt was wrong. You're right, spread it out among them and by CL 2019 action see who is he best option to use.
Idk if he's slowing down our attacking game tbh. Depends on how you look at it i guess. Is playing a simple quick pass to a more offensive skilled player ala Dybala, Ronaldo, Mario slowing down our game?
With the firepower we're having upfront this year i actually don't mind it. Keep it simple as CM. In terms of being an actual goal threat, sneaking into the box, He's still ahead of Bentancur and Can at this point imo.
But we all know the biggest problem people are having with him is the defensive phase anyway, as he can't always keep up the tempo in high intense, fast paced, up and down games. That i agree with. He's just not the quickest of the bunch, But how often do we as a team play such open games? Not too often if we can avoid it, and even if we can't, it should be less of a problem with a mid three.
Anyway, my guess would be that who'll get third CM spot in important games this season, will often mostly depend on the opponent we are facing and the type of game Max is expecting, with Mire and Matuidi being the given starters if fit. We'll see, just let's try to upgrade our mid next summer.
