Some guy on Tuttojuve saying Juve have been working on a deal to bring in a top player, someone that hasn't been mentioned in media at all.

Did they say in which position?

Matuidi follows the usual pattern since a few seasons:

1/ Very good 2-3 months at the start of the season.
2/ Average for 2-3 months.
3/ Usually good close to the end of the season.

Matuidi has many flaws, but he has qualities that made every coaches he had put him in the starting 11 in the end:

- Ancelotti once said "who the f*** is this player with no skill, he can't even control half of the balls". In the end, Matuidi worked hard, and gained Carlo's trust. He was a main part of Carlo's tactic.

- Same with Blanc.

- Same with Emery last year. And Emery doesn't want to sell him.

He has four qualities that Coaches like a lot despite all his other flaws:

1/ Lots of stamina. He's 30 but can run at full speed during 90m.

2/ Bulldog that gets lots of balls back.

3/ Can score goals, and his left foot is very good for that. Without him PSG would not even be in CL this season. Yup, he saved PSG's ass a lot for three seasons in a row now.

4/ Very good mentality. He's a winner. That's why Zlatan liked him a lot. he never gives up.

Given all that, you can understand why PSG fans are thorn in two right now: those that want to sell him, and those that want to keep him because his qualities are too good despite all his flaws (and Emery wants to keep him).

As for my personal opinion, Matuidi has limits he can't overcome. He's frustrating when he misses passes, and his ball control is questionable. That's why he can NOT be your midfield leader. He needs 1 or 2 very high skilled partners that can do what he can't.

I am not one of his best fan. But I always admit that whenever a big game comes around, he's always amongs the best, or at least amongs the ones that give it all.

But I am not a coach. All I can tell you is that all the coaches he had loved him as a player depsite his flaws. That includes Carlo Ancelotti who's not a beginner coach I believe.

Sounds like Stururu.

Cheers

From what I've seen of Matuidi he definitely seems like that sort of player. He's pretty intense in his play. Heart can make up for a lot of things in football, but he seems like the very best of these kind of limited CM players. We've seen a few over the years come out of France alone.

Once is better than never.

That's the point.

PSG wants to buy MBappé, but MBappé (even if Monaco was willing to sell, which they are not) knows that if he signs there, PSG will refuse to sell him to Madrid before he finishes his contract there (or close to it).

Just as you said, many players that would expect PSG to be a transition club don't want to enter a "prison" that they can't leave.

But is our way better? By letting players go per their requese, we turned into a stepping stone for elite clubs. PSG refuse to be that sort of club, and if it means some unhappy players, they consider it as a minor problem. And they pay handsomely...

Which way is better? idk, we're closer to the mutual goal we share, the CL, but I just hate Juve's approach on this manner.

Can/has he played in a midfield 2?

Matuidi is not good enough for us. We should really do better.
@Mark Any news on Koulibaly from Pescara? I have a feeling he will be superior to Napoli's Diawara

I wished we went out to Real that season. Sturaro only caused us bigger pain

 

[Amer]

Stururu is the future of Juve.

But the future in which we end up 5th and fail to qualify for CL.

 

[Orgut]

We are too silent in this transfer mercato - FI say we reached a dead end with D.Costa and the move is actually off - wouldnt mind it as he isnt really one of a kind..

Marotta let's fall al his targets with Douglas Costa, N'Zonzi and others.







Now he is spending some money that he could've spend on bitches for some world class stars. Donnarumma, Ronaldo and Verratti INBOUND!

SURPRISE MUTHAFACKA!

the latest news have him going there. No biggie.

More links to Renato Sanches. By the way, I watched him come on as a sub for Portugal U21's the other day. He didn't stand out in a positive manner at all. Well the only way he stood out (for me) was by him giving the ball away quite a lot. He looked like a bungling fool on that pitch.

Ain't seen hardly any of this kid. But know a lot of you fapsters rate his ass.

He's not playing at all at Bayern, hard to expect anything from him now.
