[Juventus 1897]

why not? it'd be a similar battle to Sandro/Evra, maybe Conti can challenge Dani. If they're both great, Allegri will find a way to field both

I'm up for that too , unfortunately we dont look really interested in transfering conti , even that he has lot of potential , and not only that , but he already delievers , he had some great games last season , he is one of the main reasons why atalanta did so well last season , I wouldn't mind with de sciglio either , maybe we calculated that by 2018 alves will leave and we can have 2 new rbs then , but he is asking for 1 more year , and we should extend his contract , but maybe this somehow will change the strategy , if we buy de sciglio we won't go for conti for sure , we could try to sign conti and leave him ioan on atalanta like caldara , the problem is we need at least 2 cms and Schick is a must buy so I don't know if we will spend money for conti.

 

Buy on AliExpress.com

At this point i'd be very happy with

Schick
Di Maria
Fabinho

If we keep all the important players, this would be top Mercato for me. There's everything: talent, potential for growth, experience...

Two of three would be starters in this Juve.

 

[Hist]

Sanchez, Iniesta, Verratti and call it a night.

 

[Robee]

Very curious already to see our deadline day failure signing.

 

[s4tch]

We won't pay €25M for Conti while Dani Alves is still here

Let's just forget about him. He is going to Milan anyway.

makes sense, if you ignore that we payed a similar amount for caldara while bonucci, chiellini and barzagli were here.

also, it would make sense to let licht go and use conti for half of the season, then make him a starter when dani leaves.

Sign of a champion if true. Smart as well because Juve needs attacking players right now and that need might be much less in 2018 with other possible acquisitions and developments (for instance Pjaca, Kean & Orsolini come to mind).

If somehow we buy Douglas Costa & Shick we're all set in attack. Then all we need to do is buy a midfield destroyer & add a fullback (or 2 depending on who we're selling).

An Nzonzi type is important, but Juve still lack a player that can lift the creative burden off of Dybala in the final third. Seeing how Madrid passed all over Juve's center using a diamond midfield, adding an attacking CM would give Allegri the option to combat teams that overload the middle. It also should in theory allow Dybala to receive the ball further up the field. Nzonzi plus an attacking CM opens up the possibility of playing a 4-3-2-1.

Don't get me wrong Costa could be a great addition. He can slot in on either wing and can play as a LWB.

@DAiDEViL hope youre not mad, that i had stolen your task

 

[Bianconero Vero]

So no Bernardeschi ? :depressed

 

[Wittl]

That's what I'm trying to say, but N'Zonzi had a really good season with Sevilla so lets not underrate him

Krychowiak had really good seasons with Sevilla too. Lots of people overrated him.

 

[Osman]

Why are people rating Tolisso over N'zonzi? If anything the latter has shown bigger impact in most ways, he locks down midfield completely. Tolisso is more all around action midfielder, I'm rarely sold on his overall level when I seen him play in EL or league. Has quite bit of potential but unsure if he could dominate midfield like N'zonzi can defensively.


Plus Tolisso fits better for 3 man midfield so question is what we look for in them.

Age

Age

Nzonzi is 27 yo.

Nzonzi is 27 yo.

28, and that's for a lot of people quasi the end of the career, while they see in Tolisso a 22 year old with potential to become a big one.

I don't think like this. And furthermore I don't know them enough to rate them.

i can't speak for others, but my main issue with n'zonzi is that he contributes next to nothing to attacking play.

tolisso is weak at defending, but so is khedira, and tolisso looks a lot stronger when going forward. i guess he'd be a much more natural fit than n'zonzi for our style of play.

 

[SrdanPopovic]

It's ironic that you put Bernardeschi in bold but not Douglas Costa.

Very ironic

Nzonzi is a good passer, doesn't attack but keeps possesion well(not just a big body but smart enough to keep things ticking ala busquets) . He is much much better at winning the ball and holding down the fort, his physical presence is fairly insanely all towering dominant. Defenitely could use this approach to free up rest of midfield to focus on attack. I seen him almost single handedly dominate Barca and Real mids defensively. If we have instead of Khedira both Pjanic and Dybala could attack more and wingers won't need to be 2nd fullbacks as much.



Fabinho could be useful in this way too tho not as good ball winner, but the added bonus he is better running with the ball.

Costa to play LWB??? With the IQ level of mosquito? Sweet mother of God

 

[JuveJay]

Fabinho would be extra useful if we were to sell Lichtsteiner.

 

[SrdanPopovic]

Surely. 12m + Sturaro for Keita is alright.

If they accept that's perfect deal, solve two problems with one shot

 

[Osman]

The guy excells in midfield tho more then RB these days even if he is still good there.
