Just please get rid of Berna, Rugani, DeS, Matuidi, Danilo, Higuain, Costa, Khedira, Ramsey. Such an unbelievable waste of space these players are.

I hope they all leave, but I’m afraid we won’t succeed in selling all of them. Probably the biggest obstacle, like last year, is offloading deadwood. And then you even forgot to mention Pjaca and Perin, together at +4m salary.

Technically Rabiot is better imo, but I think Bentancur is much better defensively. I think Bentancur is the more talented player though. Ideally I like them both in our starting mid if they continue improving but they both lack in the attacking third in imo.

I'd probably bench Rabiot but its a tough one.

I think they're all 2 man midfielders, ideally. Something like this would be fine going forward:

Arthur-Bentancur
(Rabiot)-(Locatelli)

We really should just move back toward that and focus on wingers

 

[Hydde]

Can you imagine the magnitude of the rebuilt we will have to go through? All the holes that need to be fixed..

They got it coming for neglecting it

And this was coming way before ronaldo came, so that is not an excuse.

 

[Bianconero81]

Artur will have to adapt and the season is long so we need at least one more. Ramsey would be perfect for that if only has little fitness in his legs. Matuidi as final option and left back if needed.

Matuidi needs to fuck off

Ramsey is too busy being injured or unfit, all while earning a big fat wage.

Arthur is an unknown quantity.

We definitely need upgrades.

I think Arthur should start. The way things are going I'm like Rabiot more than Bentancur. I don't see much in Bentancur's passing even if he has improved so I'd say if we can bring in a top CM I'd bench Bentancur unless Rabiot magically slides back .

I like Rabiot's physicality he is strong not he ball and fights to get it back but technically I think he is better than Bentancur.

No. Bentancur should not be benched. Arthur has done nothing to warrant or deserve being a starter.

Wow. Jabroni Supreme Plumberson Failieri. What a disgusting rumor. Leave him to Inter. I'm sure Conte would love him there, and he's an Inter level player.

With Rabiot improving, and Bentancur and Arthur being the other two starters. Do we need a more attacking minded CM, and which of the 3 would you guys bench?

We definitely need more quality in midfield. Matuidi and Khedira should both be packing their bags, Pjanic will also be gone, and Bertha should not be a member of this team moving forward. That leaves us with only Rabiot, Bentancur and Arthur as recognizable mids. We need 6 midfielders.

Ronaldo - Dybala - Zaniolo
Alex Sandro - Arthur - Bentancur - Cuadrado
Chiellini - Bonucci - De Ligt

Makes some sense to play with a 343

Ronaldo - Dybala - Zaniolo

Attack is too lazy to make this work IMO.

 

[MikeM]

Ronaldo - Dybala - Zaniolo
Alex Sandro - Arthur - Bentancur - Cuadrado
Chiellini - Bonucci - De Ligt

I think Chiellini/Bonucci is finished.

Ronaldo - Dybala - Zaniolo

Gosens for Alex Sandro

Alex Sandro is terrible, he needs to go

 

[vodka]

Who would've thought that 2013-15 would be our peak years. Great midfield, never to be replicated. Too bad some retired, some were sold... You would think that with plusvalenzas you would be able to buy good players, but we end up with shit

 

[Gian]

Would people consider a return of Alvaro Morata here as our back-up striker? He'll be available for a reasonable price I'd assume since it isn't really working at Atletico. He knows the culture, the league and has played together with CR and PD. His career went downhill after he left but as a back-up I see him suitable for us

I'd easily take him, he's a juventino

 

[Gian]

Yeah, I'd like him as well. I really miss having likeable players in our squad. But lets be honest, he can play as a LW, SS and ST. He seems like a much more potent player than Milik tbh. I'd think Atletico would want to sell him

only as loan with option.

Morata is the king of counter attacks. I wouldnt mind him at all. Very likeable guy.

 

[JuveJay]

Chokes too much for my liking, mentally seems quite weak. We need more leaders in this team. I'd pass.

 

[Bianconero81]

True , but none of the other faggots we're linked to scream leadership either.

Milk? Hardly a good player, let alone a leader.

Lafayette? No one on that Arsenal team is leader.

Taco Tuesday from Wolves? Hmmmm. A good player, but pricey for a 29 year old, and I don't particularly think he's the leader type either.

Hey @Mark - Poch rumors why don’t we open a Poch transfer thread? Never understood why we don’t do that for coaches we are rumored to like we do with players?
