where does Zaniolo fit in Sarriball? Can he provide balance to a 4-3-3, with Dybala upfront and him at the RW, and do a much less shit job of it than Bernardeschi?

Attacking CM in trio or traditional AM with freedom, I dont get it when they sometimes use him as winger, waste of time.

Pre-injury Zaniolo would have made worth it for sure. Now? I'm not sure, ACL is no easy thing to get out of. Berna is horrible, sure but Zaniolo is a huge question mark now.

Also, swapping Rugani for Mancini is a sideways move for me.

Zaniolo is worth it, plenty of players returned from these injuries, not what it used to be in being career altering.

Weren't we all freaking out about Demiral's ACL injury?

Speaking of Demiral, is he running and fully recovered yet? Anyone following his insta?

 

[FlavioJuve]

And so they should. We'd have their pants down with that trade.

I quite like Mancini. He's probably not as technically skilled as Rugani but he has much more fight in him. Could be a good option for that Chiellini/Demiral fighter role in 2021.

Mancini has also played at RB, right? Anyone knows how well he did? Is this maybe where our interest originated?

Higuain is heading toward River plate, Pjanic to Barcelona

 

[Orgut]

Anyway Zaniolo with only one knee, it's always better and more useful than bernardeschi with his 2 legs.

This deal has many possible outcomes - There isnt really a bad or good decision as everything could happen and we only get to know the outcome when he plays for us.
Bernardeschi is mediocre for us but still has selling value
Zaniolo is a player I really like and he could perform for us BUT his injury might mean he gets injured more often from now on and if it happens his market value would be non existent.
There is also a chance he wouldnt fit well or be ok and nothing more - In this case he will be a "new Bernardeschi"
and there is also the possibility we all hope for - He overcomes his injury, plays for us and become even better with time - In this case we get a real bargain...

Higuain is heading toward River plate, Pjanic to Barcelona[/QUOTE]
This should have happened 2 seasons ago.. We would have gotten twice the money and we would have got rid of a washed up player (He is washed up for us..)

Higuain is heading toward River plate, Pjanic to Barcelona

Yeah but Barca won't pay any cash for Pjanic. The discussion is about swapping players. Juve wants Arthur, Barca prefers to give Rakitic/Vidal. Kind of predictable when you realize that Pjanic is already 30yo while Arthur is 23yo.

Forza Higuain!

Yeah but he's technically very limited so it would be the same as playing Demiral there.

 

[Bianconero81]

If we sacrifice Pjanic for Rakibitch, I'm going to lose it.

Rakatic, Icardi, Emerson
you know its coming

And that would signal the end of my support for the club.

 

[DAiDEViL]

And that would signal the end of my support for the club.

Yeah. (Except for a few) a bunch of random players on the pitch, mixed with straight up assholes like Icunti. And it's not better next to the sideline.

Wouldn't end it for me, but maybe bring it to a halt until we move away from going full plastic.

Do barca realise they are negotiating with Juve not fucking inda what's Catalan for go fuck yourselves?

I would probably still support the club until Buffon and Chiellini retire, but watching Bonucci with the captain's armband, Icunti in black and white, some random geezers and plastic instawhores parading our shirt, and some mediocre Italian Jabronis isn't going to endear me to the cause.

I'd probably come back and support the club once we, inevitably, fail and Cancer, Tootsie, and Czech Clown get booted.

Actually last time those 2 traded players, inter fleeced them

 

[LiquidPLP]

More and more rumors about Arthur - Pjanic swap.

@Mark brace yourself

Yes, Juve. Known for being great and hard to negotiate with sellers.

Not counting I-buy-a-mediocre-hack-for-too-much-money-from-you-and-you-in-return-overpay-for-a-talent-from-us type of shady deals to pimp the book.
