I still can't believe they started this season with the fullbacks that are here.

Cuadrado is good if the other team isn't an attacking threat. De Sciglio should be at Fiorentina and I am surprised by how consistently worthless Danilo is.
I’m shocked by Danilo! I still can’t believe he’s the same guy we traded Cancelo for. He’s so bad.

why did we even trade cancelo for danilo in the first place? because apparently dosnt fit sarris philosophy? not he plays cuadrado at rb.
the guy sold spinazzola and kean too which would have helped us with out home grown quote anyway and spinazzola is 2x the player danilo/desciglio is anyway.
kean under the right guidance would have been a incredible player. the guy benched dyaba and mandzukic ffs.

I think those were balancing the books types of deals, nothing to do with Sarri.

Cancelo was not only bad at defending but apparently didn’t have the best of attitude either. There was a rumor of him not exerting himself during our preseason friendly.
how many times we heard this story with so may players
bonucci was unprofessional, made put in the stands for important CL matches, sold to ac milan 1 year later and bought back by juve and now is our 'captain'.

vidal was sold to bayern in his prime and we still havnt found 1 single player that can replace him

coman was sold for 28m and now is a topclass player worth over 60-70m

cancelo was sold and we bought danilo. would u rather have a world class cancelo rb or just a mediocre 'professional' danilo/desciglio type of player?

i get your point rakibabe, but cancelo is not exactly setting man city on fire. only 29 appreances in league and CL (15 in league and 6 CL) and no goals or assists

- - - Updated - - -

Why are you shocked? He has been shit for 4 years...
i wish he was a fun lolzillian. atleast then u would get some fun momments.

like at least have some skill with ball instead of being pure bad at both attacking and defending.

Cancelo is garbage, we do not need garbage.
:agree: We already have enough garbage and it's starting to stink real bad :p

Source? Hope its not Don Balon
Oh, you know it.

Yes it is :D

https://www.juvefc.com/juventus-linked-with-toni-kroos/

According to less-than-reliable Spanish outlet Don Balon, Juventus have presented an offer to Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos.

:klin: :D :rofl:

- - - Updated - - -

I like Kroos, but he's 30. I wish he were still 28 - then, I'd not hesitate to offer him a 5 year contract, but at 30 years of age, will he accept a 3 year deal, or maybe a 3+1 type deal? :boh:

Sorry but you are exaggerating. What great name plays in Liverpool's midfield? I like their MF but to me there is no big name when they built it.
Henderson, Wynaldum, Fabinho, Naby, Milner......? who do you consider a top player here? To me none.
How many times have seen Tonali or Locatelli play? Why is Tonali top class and Locatelli is a zero? Is it just because they hype Tonali in the papers.
I can tell you that Tonali does not play better than Locatelli. Sense the Covid 19 I see much less patients, cause lots of fear in the USA. So I follow lots of games and specially player that we are looking at. The only problem I see is that Bentancur , for me is not at all a Central DM cause lacks passing ability .
he is much better at RMF player, Arthur and Locatelli , 2 good passers of the ball, will give us a more defensive midfield. At the other hand with Dybala, Ronaldo and another good attacker a 9 like Zapata or even Lacazette we should do very well offensively cause our front 3 are very unpredictable.
Fabinho and Naby Keita are better than anything we have, and Fabinho is a top player in my book.

Am I exaggerating? I am not averse to Locatelli as a depth signing, but not as a starter. Would you be happy with a starting midfield of Locatelli, Bentancur and Arthur? Even if Rabiot rotates with one of them, that midfield isn't good enough. I compare it to our peak midfield in 2015 and that midfield is at least two levels below that. Now, I don't expect us to see a midfield like we had back in 2015 anytime soon, but the dropoff can't be that great. That is simply unacceptable for a team of Juve's caliber. If we had money, I'd go out and sign Pogba without hesitation, but that seems like a pipe dream now.

Zaniolo is the best italian talent in my humble opinion, and I feel we should do everything to bring him here. Tonali is definitely an interesting prospect, but I don't think he's reayd to start for us. Is he better than Locatelli? His ceiling is higher. I agree that Locatelli might be playing better now, but his team are doing much better, in a more dynamic system that suits him, and a team that possesses attacking impetus and scores lots of goals. Therefore, Locatelli gets to shine more. I'd definitely try and pursue one or both of Aouar and VDB because they have experience playing in the CL and doing well.

Just.... No... The guy is a bona-fide bench warmer. You could say he is slightly better than Danilo, actually 28 mil. better than Danilo,another reserve.

LOL at Cancelo. Im sure he doesn't even know how to boil eggs by his own and cares way more about other things than playing football. He might hit his prime after his 30th bday when he realizes fuck, i got max 5 years left to play so might as well try to make some memories for my kids but other than that, he ain't nothing but a playstation boy.

Cancelo WC?! Are we talking about the guy Woj constantly yelled at?
Also just a reminder - Mediocre MDS benched his sorry ass...

Coman wanted to leave and we got an amount that was fair at the time
Vidal wanted to leave and we got raped regarding the fee we got from him..

Kroos is good but old.

And Tonali or Zaniolo would take our midfield to the next level? Nigga please.

None of those players are what we need. We need a midfielder that will bring +10 goals and +10 assists a season, and none of the above mentioned will do that.
Name the midfielder :

Thomas Mueller 8G 21A (impossible)
Kevin De Bruyne 11G 18A (impossible)
Jadon Sancho 17G 16A(impossible)
Thorgan Hazard 7G 13A (more AMC,winger)
Christhoper Nkunku 5G 13A (AC Milan bound - Rangnick)
Oyarzabal 10G 11A (more AMC , winger)
Riyad Mahrez 10G 9A

I will take Riyad Mahrez gladly
