Good job weakening the attack and selling our most important player and most marketable asset. I hope you were a history major in uni. :baus: :tup:

Selling him for over 80 million, when nobodies like Dembele fetch in excess of 120 million. Some of you deserve the $#@!ing guillotine, I swear :howler:
If you are talking about A.Sandro - He wont be sold for more than 70M max..
If you are talking about Dybala (about the post of the 80M and north someone wrote..) I completely agree - Dybala should fetch at least 150M and who knows maybe the market will get another inflation this summer...

Caldara looks more mature than Rugani already imo.
What? Caldara has no international experience, no CL experience and have never played for at big club under immense pressure.

There's a reason Rugani has been the captain at youth level ahead of Caldara.

I think in this case Dai is suggesting Caldara has a greater physicality and meanness to his game than Rugani, which is rarer in young defenders. Rugani is one of the least mistake-prone young defenders I have watched recently, his anticipation and reading of the game is fantastic, but he could use a little more aggressiveness at times.

So if Rugani comes up against the likes of Ronaldo or benzema will he do well

Oh absolutely. In today's market there will be fools offering 150 and up. I'm just saying he's not worth even 80 right now, that is if Juve were buying him I would not want them to give that money up for him and we'd be foolish to reject that money if such a fool comes up. He is not a leader on the pitch, he is leading the mutiny against the coach with his little south american clique of Costa and Sandro. Outside of ONE game he's been absolute shit in Europe and he crumbles under pressure whenever someone starts talking about him in the media. He is also the reason why we have to play hybrid formations because he is super one dimensional and not worth the hassle of everyone else accommodating to him while he under-performs.

Perhaps, but I'dsay anticipation and reading of the game is a qualities correlated with maturity unliek physicality and meanness ;)

Yeah. They both have qualities to their game that are generally reserved for more mature and experienced defenders. That's why it's exciting to have them both on the books. Could be the next great Italian CB partnership.

Not sure if talking about Dybala and Belotti. Time for you to log off and take an extended break Bro.

Like I said, I sincerely hope your major at Uni was History or something like Public Administration :baus: :tup:

They are one of the biggest reasons (besides shitty right backs and Dybala) that I wanna switch to a 3-man backline. The idea of having the most promising centrebacks in the world sit on the bench makes me a tiny bit frustrated.

Rugani - Benatia - Chiellini

Barzagli - X - Caldara

Whether you like it or not, everything I wrote is true. We would not suffer one bit by swapping Dybala for a WC midfielder, to the contrary. Now continue with your super funny replies.

Of course Bro. Everything you wrote is true, because it has already transpired and the results speak for you :baus: :tup:

The arrogance and delusion. Just wow. We would not suffer one bit?! :howler:

Please guide me to your magic book of stats and facts. I'd love to share it with everyone on Tuz.
