What are you talking about? You're just making stuff up. The only competition Rugani didn't play much in was CL. Max opted for experience there.

Rugani played 2nd most minutes in Serie A of all our CBs. Only behind Chiellini.

Chiellini: 2162
Rugani: 1935
Benatia: 1754
Barzagli: 1434

Shaky? While he did have his shaky moments, like every other defender on the planet, our record of 20 wins - 4 draws - 1 loss in all competitions with Rugani starting shows he was nowhere near as shaky as some of you are making him out to have been. And in those 25 matches include starts against Roma, Inter, Lazio, Milan, Torino away (conceded only twice in those 5 matches).
Im not making stuff up, Benatia beat him in the pecking order fight and he ended up having less mins in all competitions than Barza, those are facts, you bringing up other facts wont change that :D And Rugani did look shaky end of season after being on the bench for a while, I remember a particularly dreadful game against Benevento I think.

It is normal that a young defender would nt be able to deliver at a delicate time for our Scudetto chances after being benched a lot in the 2nd half of the season, but at Juve we shouldnt be looking for normal starters, we need extraordinary ones

FI says that if we sell A.Sandro we will go for Darmian - Hope A.Sandro stays then.. Marcelo would have been great but if not him we should keep A.Sandro..
If we do go for Darmian I expect us to sign a top CM maybe even Pogba..

i will piss on every face that wanted that 'lazy AS ass' out if we will get darmian as his direct replacement :)
I think that everyone wants Sandro but the bitterness of him not wanting to stay is pissing a lot off including me. Mainly because I really like the way he plays especially when on form. Its not that we want him gone but more that we are mad he doesnt want to stay

How important is Marcos Alonso for Sarri? If not very, we can try include him in the Rugani deal and sell Sandro.

Already familiar with Serie A and has played (trained) in Real Madrid with Ronaldo.

According to TMW, they know shit.

I expect the club to secure Marcelo first before they do any deal for Alex Sandro.

That's untrue. He's not even close to being Alex Sandro level player and never will be.

Will be benched by Emerson now that Sarri is in town.
No way Emerson benches Alonso. Emerson is fraud.

In Conte's first season, he was the best LB in PL. Hands down. His form dipped when the entire Chelsea squad went down.

Alex Sandro's dipped when the team was on high. I'm not saying Alonso is better than Sandro, but mentality matters. If Sandro doesn't want to be here, and Marcelo is impossible, there are not many better options than Alonso.

Firstly Alonso has basically never played LB for Conte. Secondly if you actually watch him play you see that he has some good qualities that make him bit of specialist but in no way is he a good defender.

There are plenty of better options than Alonso if you need a new LB. Again the difference between Alex Sandro and Alonso is so vast that I find it quite odd that anyone would compare them.

lol Marcos Alonso is definitely a better defender than Sandro. For example, he would have defended that Real Madrid late goal much better than Sandro.

Yes I actually watch him play. That's why I suggested him. I gotta ask you the question because Alonso did play LB, LWB and LCB under Conte. You suggesting freaking Emerson benching him is laughable tbh.
