As with all media it's all about hooking gullible people first, maybe throwing in a sprinkling of the truth second if they feel generous.

with all media? Bold statement.

Well...Whatever you need to get that midfield going again Andrea... If he sees something in this boy I'll wait to pass judgement. not what i expected tho

 

[Badass J Elkann]

Its not a tumour!

You aren't supposed to like this movie anymore cause cops be racist.

McKennie, Locatelli and Paredes

Ouch.. If that happens then we're heavily relying on Arthur being the answer to our creative issues from midfield.

 

[Hydde]

It seems , like Pirlo said, he will put his midfielders to run and press a lot to ease the job of ronaldo Dybala and whoever is up. He will demand a lot from his midfielders it seems, so subs at the 60 mins should be ready if the starter is gassed.

For that, he is looking at energetic youngsters. I think is reasonable.

not really. Paredes is one of the best long ball specialists in Europe and Locatelli was one of the best deep lying playmakers in serie A this season (with more assists than Arthur)

I'd be very happy if that's the direction we're taking.

Hope we can sort out our fullback problems too.

McKennie is best as a box to box, Paredes has an excellent long ball and Locatelli plays best as a deep lying midfielder so what is the problem? they can all play together perfectly

 

[U Picciriddu]

McKennie is nothing but average. I saw nearly every Schalke game the Last two seasons. He has nothing special in him. Winning the CL by buying players like him? People in Germany are laughing at Juve, because of this deal.

Yeah but if you saw Bentancur at the beginning, it was very difficult to recognize talent in him. Besides a short period in 18/19 he’s been very average until he ‘exploded’ (still needs to reach a higher level) this year. I’ll give Paratici the benefit of the doubt, McKennie is a low financial risk and young.

Boga(23) to replace Costa(29)
Kulu(20) to replace Berna(26)
Mckennie(22) to replace Matuidi(33)
Arthur(23) to replace Pjanić(30)
Milik(26)/Dzeko(34)/CF to replace Higuain(32)
Dest(19)/Young RB to replace De Sciglio(28)
Locatelli(22) to replace Khedira(33)
Pellegrini(21) back to Juventus

Pretty decent rejuvenation of the team

Now if we sell Ramsey(29) and get someone liķe Aouar(22), that would be the icing on the cake.

Fixed it for you.

 

[lvmnz]

Thta midfield has the same problems of last year zero creativity in there.

locatelli was fairly creative and very progressive for sassuolo this past season; at the same time, i think adding a midfielder like de paul might have a larger effect in this sense

 

[Xperd]

Fixed it for you.

We need someone better than Kean to come off the bench and support Ronaldo/Dybala

This is assuming Pirlo will continue to use Dybala as a false 9 like Sarri. Still unclear as to what his plans are.

 

[GrandeGigi]

Can’t argue with selecting a low cost option bringing in a young midfielder with something to prove as opposed to our recent strategy of bringing in overhyped, older players on big wages who feel like they’ve already made it and are rarely ever match fit.
Seems a sensible approach.

[piotrr]

who dis?

 

[alaska]

Pleasantly surprised that most are not trashing him just because he's American. There are actually a few good American talents coming through this generation.

Is this Juve or Roma?

Yeh

Ill not lie i would have loved an stablished player or a hyped talent... but look at other big teams, a lot of them buy not so hyped teams and they end being a success. We dont do that since long time ago and have been going for supposedly stablished veteran midfielders, who in the end come here and get owned by youngsters.

So i dont mind trying young guns for a change, in the lines of rabiot betan etc. No more Mids over 30

What matters is how he plays, not where he is from.
