Haven't watched this N'Zonzi play much, what's your description of him as a player?

B2B, a very strong engine. Basically a power house with decent technique but can't get past his man. Although that is seldom required of him. In Juve terms, a taller and stronger but less technical Vidal so he will not cause as much offensive havoc as Vidal (both in terms of technique and off ball movements).
I like him but I may have seen too little of him to pass a fair judgment. More mobile than Khedira and would offer a bit more grinta and speed in comparison. But I also value Khedira's skills, sooo... I dunno. Against bigger teams I would field N'Zonzi, against other teams I would field Khedira for his smartness on the pitch and his potency in the offensive box (albeit he seldom scores).

TBH there are clubs in England (Arsenal) who could do with him as well. Im surprised big english clubs havent gone in for him, ok Man Utd and City dont need him but the other big teams all could consider him imo.

When we had Pogba at the beginning we had top class midfield so we could afford his type of "gamble" and team didnt suffer in quality. Now we are in a situation where there is a bit less overall quality there. And every new face should be improvement. If we have ambitions like CL then we cant just gamble on the hope that Bentancur comes good. His time could come in 2-3 years time.

What other big clubs are there outside of those you listed though? Chelsea doesn't need him they just bought bakayoko. And Arsenal is only an upgrade financially.
As for Bentancur, a trio of Marchisio, Matuidi, and Pjanic might not be on the level that we had back then but it's still very good. People hate on matuidi but his game compliments Pjanic very well. He's a ball winning engine. Isn't that what we need?

Nzonzi has past history playing in EPL, so many teams will value that. I think he is upgrade over Sissoko (Tottenham).
I did not say big clubs, i said clubs. Tottenham, Pool, Everton possibly who have new owners and making signings. There are couple of other teams who could afford him but less attractive options like West Ham.

Right.

Would prefer more experience, but we really need an alternative to DeS.
Spinazzola should be coming here as cover, I'm worried about our RB for the season ahead.
If spinazzola comes, he will take de sciglios job. Might take longer than usual, but that's only because of allegri.
