Darmian is a good player, but not for a top 5 team.

Lets face it. Its 2018. Wingbacks are not defenders anymore. Name me one real defender playing wingback at a top team.

We need a creative player like alves was, a player able to setup our game, specialy when we dont have one able to that in central defence.

We defend with 11 man, so Hes defensive skills, isnt my concern - he Will be well protected by the rest of the team.

Dont remember alves beeing Exposéd for his lack of defensive skills , and he is terrible st defending.

Dont know who we schould go for - but i hope we go for a winger type, rather than a darmian type.

LB should be Spinazzola + Asa (or AS if he wants to stay), RB should be 2 new players as far as I'm concerned. I don't mind keeping Di Sciglio but he can't be trusted, certainly not as a starter and also as a substitute.. so let's get Meunier and some young italian talent. or if Spinazzola can play as RB as well, it could help us in many ways, and we can ditch DS.

He cant be trusted because of his constant injuries, but from what we`ve seen of him this season with our shirt, he has always produced solid or decent performances, nothing shiny or spectacular, just solid. He is most definitely a good addition to our roster and a useful player to have in our squad, we do need an upgrade on some posts, but DeSciglio is like the least of our problems, if he is any problem at all.

And also, what does it mean some young italian talent? Do you have someone in mind? Do you even know someone in that position who qualifies as a "young italian talent"? It seems like in your opinion there are huuge amount of excellent young italian right backs and our management just need to pick a random one and deliver it to the coach as a back-up RB. You dont rate a player like DeSciglio to be a starter for Juventus - ok, most of us dont. You dont rate a player like DeSciglio to be a squad player and providing back-up for the right back, but you would be happy with a random young italian talent to do the job?

we still need a capable RB, because even if we would consider him reliable quality wise, MDS still has ~3 injuries per season. whoever is the "2nd choice" RB, he gets to play half of the games anyway.

FI says PSG want Pjanic
No problem they want Pjanic - straight swap with Verratti and we`ll think about it..

- - - Updated - - -

As for MDS - He is not a bad player but he is a very limited one..
He is quite good defensively (at least from what I have seen of him..) but his attacking game is just non existent..

- - - Updated - - -

De Sciglio is not good enough to be a sub :sergio:
Depending on our needs he might have a seat at the bench as he is not bad defensive wise... I do agree we need a much better RB (one who can also attack)
Sturaro is not good enough to be a sub - This is something I think the whole forum can agree on..

Swap pjanic for verratti with psg.
Buy donnarumma from milan for peanuts when they miss cl
Buy florenzi or cancelo as rb
Can bosman
Splash cash on SMS or Pogba
Get Nzonzi if possible
If sandro leaves get ghoulam and/or keep asamoah


Khedira
Sturururu
Mandzu
Licht etc. leaves

Keep dybala at all costs

Costa. Higuain. Dybala
SMS/Pogba. Pjanic/Verratti. Can/Nzonzi/matuidi
Sandro/ghoul. Chiellini. Benatia. Florenzi/mds
Donnarumma/szcszc

DS massively is underappreciated here because of his Milan years, price tag, etc.
There are no much better RBs now. Carvajal, Kimmich, Samedo, maybe Walker, Bellerin and Sidibe, that's about it. They are better (though Walker and Bellerin can't defend a dead body), but not much better.

This is true on the defensive aspect of his game but look at his offensive contribution - Chiellini and Benatia who are both CB contribute more in fact put aside the GK everyone contribute more than MDS on the offensive end..
P.S his Milan years were exactly the same IMO I always saw him as a solid defender but poor attacker and in today`s football knowing to do one thing is not enough!

His offensive contribution is work in progress, DS was not able to build a solid understanding with Costa and/or Berna, because we have a bunch of horse-drawn instead of a medical team. But he is getting there. I thought it was quite obvious tbh for anyone who watched his most recent performances.
He was never able to perform as a standalone unit like Sandro. Otherwise, he would've been the best RB in the world.

Juve dive in for Cancelo?
By Football Italia staff

Juventus could reportedly dive in for Joao Cancelo as doubts persist over whether Inter will buy the right-back.

According to Corriere di Torino, Inter may not be able to honour their €35m purchase option for Cancelo as his loan spell expires on May 31, meaning the deal would appear on their balance sheet for the current season.

Consequently, Juve would go back in for the Portuguese 'immediately’, having tried to sign him last summer.

The newspaper also highlights the 'friendly’ relationship between Valencia and the Old Lady, with Neto and Simone Zaza both leaving Turin for the Liga high-fliers in the past year.

Cancelo has gone on to establish himself as the Nerazzurri’s first-choice right-back after an injury-hit start to his spell at San Siro.m...

His injuries are the problem. Thats why the issue cannot be ignored. It doesnt matter how good he is if he cant be trusted during the season. Thats the real crux of mds

I want to ask a question here.... How good verrati really is in the end?

He was more than a promise when he left pescara for psg. In fact he was really good. His first year in psg was great and his price skyrocketed.. But what happened to him?

It was all an illusion? Or psg simply fuked him up? He would be worth the try of getting him?
