I still say the same, although not to this degree.
You've got to say there's been a marked change in Pjanic since coming to Juve. He's probably our most consistent player and he now works three times as hard as he did at Roma.

I subscribe to what is probably just myth about Juve but it's something I really believe. Its culture imparts, maybe four times out of five, certain values to its players: mental courage, work ethic and self sacrifice. Players improve in a very unique way at Juve. Maybe a few pearls of wisdom from Dr. Buffon could turn him around. The kid is massively talented.

Anyone following Simone Verdi? Could he be a substitute option. Seems like the type of player with a lot of untapped potential. Sure, he is 25, but he's really shown improvements over the last 2 years.

Quick Talent Analysis
-crafty winger/attacking midfielder
-fast/ agile
-completely proficient with 2 feet, and scored FK with both feet
-very strong dribbling ability - with a ton of Flare (his nickname throughout his career is Verdinho)
-Appears to be decent playmaker

My questions:
-Can he improve enough to be a Juventus regular
-Is he intelligent enough to play for Juventus
-He is small, is that a problem? (5'7, so not Giovinco)
-Is his football IQ high enough?

Either way, his versatility is interesting to say the least.

I would take Lucas Torreira for €25m in a hearbeart. Looks so talented as a ball winning pitbull with an eye for the pass. A true beast just like Vidal or Tevez. We need this in our midfield!

Is he performing consistent as one of Bologna's best players? How good is he when he is at his best? Capable of starting in a club like Juve?
