Verratti has always been overrated imo. Pjanic mostly underrated.

The biggest knock on Pjanic is lack of consistent effort. He just fucks around on the pitch like he couldn’t give two shits in an unfortunately large number of matches. But his highs are brilliant. At every club he’s been at. Like his performance in the 3-0 against Barca which is one of the most impressive performances by a CM in the past few years.

Pjanic in CL has also been better than Verratti in CL imo. Verratti has been poor in the majority of matches I have seen PSG play against decent opposition.

Veratti is smoker dude.And after those PSG contracts a millionaire smoker.I wouldnt want that liability in my team.
I know about the smoking. That's why I said if he was more professional. Less hot headed too would be nice.


But the upside of having him regardless of that is huge. My main concern is injury proness. But regardless if the choice was realistic in being between Pjanic and Verratti, the latter would be my much more preferred choice assuredly. Been my dream midfield choice for Juve since seeing him for Pescara, the one that got away so to speak (damn you Mark). Just an insanely wonderfully skilled player.



Imagine if this dudes shot wasnt absolutely dog shit, he would have so much more highlight plays to give him the headlines a bit. Is bit lowkey in shot and also attitude (is aggressive but doesnt seem to want to be the alpha take charge type on the pitch).

100% agree. Verratti may not be delivering at the level he should be in Le PSG but he is a much better all around player than Pjanic imo.

He is criminally underrated on Tuz lately because of his PSG form but who at PSG is living up to expectations? Barely anyone.

Verratti at a more structured, dignified environment like Juventus would be a world class midfielder for sure. He is a bit of a dickhead but i can look past that as long as he is professional.

The Bianconeri President is in Amsterdam for the ECA and De Ligt. Paratici in Lisbon for Ruben Dias, while pressing for Chiesa intensifies
And from Spain, they go back in for Pogba

Juve-Kean, renewal at all costs

This is true although this year`s Pjanic isnt exactly WC..
When on form its tough to say who is better but Verratti is younger IIRC and I`d say despite Verratti being a better passer (probably) Pjanic is a better overall attacking player while Verratti is better defensively.
The problem with Verratti IMO is that he is like a leader who isnt a leader - cant really explain it better so I hope you understand

I downplayed Eriksen in the past but right now I want to do the opposite - Eriksen is good in attack not bad in defense + very smart+a true leader - Right now I`d say Eriksen perhaps better than both..
As for Pogba - I think I`ll be silence on this one as everyone knows I probably rate Pogba like Bianconeri81 rate Dybala..

Incredible expectations and standards you have

It must be nice to begin following the club post CR7 acquisition

sounds like the football version for the American dream.. He might gone too far but we can make ourself the best in the world during the summer
We can do so by buying star players or by buying a less strong but extremely talented players
I mean if we get someone like Ndombele our mid will be strengthened
If we get a strong CB to complete our defense we will be strengthened in defense while attack we can do various things like buying young talents such as Joao Felix or the other Portuguese forgot his name but he is scoring for fun in Portugal yet not yet realizing his potential at club football
Obviously we wont become unstoppable but we will become the best!

I can't stand this Mario Black'o'telli guy. Shit, I probably associate the word racism more with him, than with Hitler. Whining all the time, bitching and complaining - 'Why always him?'. He must be the missing link, someone from his family in 10 000 generations will evolve into a monkey, which in another 10 000 generation may turn into a human.

No one can stand him. Patrick Vieira is one of the latest in the line. Call him for the NT? Hell NO! Not even if Mino Raiola runs 100m under 10 seconds for that.
