Rabiot is like the biggest risk/reward you can find on the market. Big talent and an insanely bad attitude. Wonder how much PSG would ask.

At least you know he'll never get hurt on international duty.

Also I think he had problems because he wants to play B2B, not DM. So does this suggest we are going to 4-3-3 for sure, I don't know.

If any team environment and coach should be able to handle Rabiots ego, it could be Allegri and Juventus. At least my respect for Allegri's ego handling has grown after seeing what happened to Pogba after he joined United.

I'd give Rabiot a chance any day (price aside).

Rabiot...average.

Report: Uruguayan defender eyed as Benatia replacement

21 June at 13:35
Juventus are reportedly eyeing Atletico Madrid defender Diego Godin as a replacement for Medhi Benatia this summer.

Godin has started both of Uruguay's games in the ongoing FIFA World Cup and has become a very important part of the Los Rojiblancos side since he arrived from Villarreal in the summer of 2010 for a fee in the region of 8 million euros.

Tuttosport report that with Medhi Benatia probably on his way out of the bianconeri this summer, Juventus will make a move to sign Godin as his replacement.

Rudi Garcia reportedly wants Benatia as Marseille and Juve feel that Godin fits the bill for them.

laughable.
We're Selling a 29years old defender to sign a 32yrs old one.
Great. Simply Great! Cause Chiellini and Barzagli aren't enough.
Hope this is a joke.
Not because Godin is weak but because it's irrational.

Godin is amazing one of the best defenders in the world if not best. We would be lucky to get him.

I see no point in this as Benatia is good
Unless... Benatia wants to leave and Godin is cheap

Benatia is 31.

The point would be that Godin is twice the player Benatia is.

Worth mentioning that Allegri has historically had an uncanny ability to deal with egos.
Let's go through some examples: Ibrahimovic, Cassano, Balotelli, Robinho, KP Boateng, Tevez, Muntari, Ronaldinho, Pato
