People talking about Bonucci so much negative here ...

First i hate him because how he left. But now returned to us means more quality added to our defence. Some guys focus too much on his errors while he was in Milan and forget how we suffered badly at the start of the season untill Max figured it out!!

Second, who talk about him as someone prone to error covered by Chellini and Barzagly, please watch this youtube for his his last time with us, he was super !!

Last, he is better than Benatia and can cover Chellini while he injured.

Dude is a fantastic defender who makes some silly blunders occasionally when his concentration lapses... which is nowhere near as often as some make it out to be, or we wouldn't have won 3 straight domestic doubles, and played in 2 CL finals with him starting under Allegri, mostly in a back 4.

Rugani and Pjanic out for 150 million?

Pogba and Modric in for 180 million?

Would you do it?

Bonucci back with chiellini and barzagli will be magic again. People underestimate how shitty Milan is

I meant at Milan, he wasn't great at 4-4-2 at Milan wasn't he?
Our problem is not when we dominate smaller teams, but how to overcome the few above us and reach the top.
To that, we need to grow stronger and eradicate our weaknesses, because at this level every little details matters.
To have a CB that can't stop his man is much more serious in a 2 man defense, than to have one in a three man defense.
The 4-4-2 you remember had Barzahli as RB and was converted mistake into an assymetrical 3-5-2, at any case, this hybrid system could never host 3 men up-front.
This practically means that the passing from Bonucci means that we can only field one of Dybs or Dcosta

So we cant have to many passer? WTF are you talking about? And no a guy named Dani Alves was RB and only bc Cuads started playing terrible did we have to switch.

This is the first time in 2 decades that we are going into the Champions League as favourites. I never really expected to see this in my lifetime.

I don't know about favorites, but we are definitely one of the top 5 contenders.

 

[Juventinoo]

Calcio Mercato: " Paul Pogba wants to return to Juventus, but the negotiation for the French is very difficult. According to Tuttosport, only with the sale of Miralem Pjanic will the Bianconeri be able to attack the world champion midfielder with France. On the other side, the track that leads to Sergej Milinkovic-Savic is still alive, but even in this case it could only push the accelerator with the Bosnian farewell and on this front everything is silent."

I dont know if there is a true fav this year but I agree that Juve,Barca,Madrid,Bayern,Psg,Man City are all very close

Rugani and Pjanic out for 150 million?

Pogba and Modric in for 180 million?

I hope you wrote a letter to the bookmakers informing them of just how mediocre Juventus has become now that we signed Bonucci.

 

[edgardavids2608]

I would put them at 1B category with Man UNited and Atl Mardid or something. But you could be right they might be ther but I want to see them perform again to be sure. I always like to refer to betting lines to see who the real top is

+550 Man City and Barca
+600 Juve
+700 Bayern PSG MAdrid
+1200 Pool
+1400 Atleti and ManUre

In fact our odds got better post the Bonucci signing

Of course we have, do you think is more important to have a passer who can't defend, in the center of the defense, like Bonucci, or Dcosta besides CR7?
Because we can only field 11 players.
Our system now has 2 CBs, if we add and extra CB, we have to take a passer from a deeper position.
It's a tactical choice. I respect both points, as tactical choices to build up game,
my issue is that if the man who can't defend in the center of our defense is preferred but the opposition forwards, a whole in our defense is created that can create a very exploitable weakness.
I have seen this weakness been exploited time and time again and i wouldn't want to experience more of it...

So a lineup of Bonucci requires you to take a forward off? Youre to much man lol
Just go back and rewatch some games from our run 16/17

[edgardavids2608]

[tassard]

Pogba and Marcello here yet? Is anyone tracking planes?

For the Pogs, you better start tracking planes going to Barcelona
