The statement and video juve put out looked pretty prepared in advance. How’d they keep this so under wraps?

And what’s next? For all we know they may as well have a deal done with SMS lol.

I think Allegri must have been convinced of using Bernardeschi in midfield

That's one explanation I can think of if we're not signing an extra mid

Hmmm. Bernardeschi as a CM is unproven. We have 5 recognized CMs for 3 spots with a 3 man midfield with Khedira injury prone.

My guess is we either get Rabiot or we are looking to use 1 of our U-23 mids as the 6th mid. Bernardeschi has what it takes I guess but we have not used him there in any competitive games yet.

Has there been a season(in the past few years) where we have gone into the season with only 5 mids ? (I'm obviously discounting Bernardeschi here)

Yeah thats my guess too. I expect us to sell Kean with recompra and buy Rabiot from PSG, but is there enough time?

So eclectic.

So yeah, Berna is playing deeper this year (Pjanic, Can DM options) and we'll poach Fernandes, Emmanuello or Muratore from the U23 in any emergency.
