I think he won't extend and the club will decide to sell him even if he preferred to stay here.

Do you guys think that if we sell Licht,we would invest that money towards a rb or a trequartrista???And would you be comfortable with having Caceras or Romulo as starters in a CL match?

 

[LiquidPLP]

I think we're bringing in Romulo because we can't find agreement with Licht. It seems we don't rate Isla so we're left with Caceres only. I think we're in for Romulo because Verona is going to accept our loan + option which is nothing but spreading the payment for future while selling Licht and Isla could fetch us some decent money. Hopefully for a winger/treq.

i suppouse this is.

I even think that they brought Romulo in advance to sell Licht regardless of anything. Getting rid of his wages and giving the main role to caceres seems like an idea they have.

Im speculating tho,

this might actually happen. if we cant reach an agreement with Licht then id be happy with Romulo/Caceres on the right side. would prefer Darmian but Romulo is good too. we would finally have fullbacks that are decent crossers and although i love Licht and his endless running down that side, if his sale means a great treq/winger, then i wouldnt mind him gone. the question is, who do we get then? the players we were linked with are either not good enough, too expensive or not available anymore. im curious to see what we will do in the next weeks...

 

[GrecoJuve]

Romulo is 2 stages down than Licht. Licht is the most underrated footballer of our team. Surely, he is not even a decent crosser but he can running over the field with easy. He can score, defend, attack and help our game development.
In this age, i would be happy if we sell him and take a younger and same-level replacement.

 

[Pirlo's Beard]

Licht is a fantastic right back, one of the very best

However as a wing-back he was expected to be an attacking outlet and is a liability in offence in big games, but it's not his fault obviously, it's like moaning at Del Piero for not breaking up the oppositions play in midfield, it's simply not his job but he was forced in to it.

 

[alexjuventino]

I highly doubt he will leave.

Yeh I know this is the case. And licht as a ) is better than both lcaceres and romulo. But I think the age vs wage. If he doesnt bent to oue offer, i can see juve selling. Its not optimal, but I think that we are ok in giving caceres a more prominent role.

His stats as a wing-back are very good btw and he bailed us out numerous times in tough matches. The problem is, he doesnt have an equal (or close to equal) sub. There are no wingbacks that have consistently amazing offensive performances in any team in the world. The likes of Madrid and City always have the option of using coentrao and Kolarov whenever the starters are exhausted. No one can rightfully ask more of a wingback than what Licht and Asa provide.

They'd look much better if they had proper subs and played less games.

 

[Pirlo's Beard]

Licht is great but nah he's not the man you want on the edge of the opponents box as he can't take men on and his crossing is inconsistent. He's not great at attacking and at Juve you'd expect players who are so far up the pitch to be able to do damage. But that's simply not the case.

Of course, that's not Lichts fault. He should be the guy playing as a full back behind that type of player, not as a wing-back.

I'll agree their performance dips due to lack of options. Which is why i'm cool with Romulo coming in as long as Licht stays.

 

[Hydde]

Regardless if we keep both asa and licht, I dont want any of them providing our wingplay. I would like for them to limit to defensive duties and support our real wingers, in case we play with wingers

 

[sgjuveboy]

We have a buy back clause for ekdal. Let's get him and make him a wingback. That will be able to take some pressure off lichst

It will be a waste to limit Asa to defensive duties. Id rather he be in midfield b2b

[ZoSo]

Really hope he stays, would be a shame to lose him for a mil or so

 

[Pirlo's Beard]

Surely it makes absolutely NO sense if we don't give him a small pay rise

So say he's on about 1.7M euros right now. If we keep him for a year, he'll leave for free when his contract runs out. So that's 1.7M for his services for a season
He'll also be an unhappy player.

If we gave him 3M this season, we'd be spending an extra 1.3M euros BUT we would be able to sell him next Summer. And we could easily get 4-5M euros for him. 3 at the very least.

So if Licht gets a pay rise and we have the option to sell him next Summer then everybody wins.

 

[vodka]

i just laugh when people see romulo as a wingback

40% is not a small pay rise mate

He doesnt want a small payrise, hence the problem. Otherwise there would have bee no prob.

Yeh, im assuming if assa will be put in LB, which i doubt

 

[am0110]

Time to put emotions aside and try to sell him.

 

[Scottish]

Remember his performance in the Suppercoppa last year? I want that again this year. He's a key player and as long as it's not completely out of the financial question he should get his pay rise.

So much love for this man, make him stay!
