I think Motta brought Bonucci down on the weekend he had to worry about backng him up and it caused distractions which affected his positioning. I have big faith in Bonucci.

I am willing to give Motta another chance but right now, he has a long way to go.

Give them 20 mil and be done with it.

For once could we overpay for a player thats actually worth it?

I would be thrilled to get Cassano at 29, my question is who would you rather him or Benzema? For a similiar price.

Benzema without batting an eyelid. The guy has wonderful vision, excellent ball control/skills, can work with his head & he'd go a whole lot longer than Cassano would.

 

[Nicholas]

Cassano is way ahead in all those things though B. He would last another 4 seasons for sure.

 

[Byrone]

Half of you only want Cassano for his nationality, i've seen Benzema at Lyon many times to say that i'd take him over Cassano a thousand times over.

Infact many are saying Benzema is overrated because of his time at Real.Need i remind some of you that Sneijder, who lifted the game for inter & holland was a supposed "flop" at real.

Benzema is the kind of striker that can make something out of nothing, he can take on defenders & run at them.Something we clearly lack with our strikers.

I'm obviously in the other half

Cassano over Benzema for me, even though we actually need both.

Merely because of his performances at Real.

Now if it were Aguero or Cassano, what would it be?

The bold part is true, but no way would I choose Cassano over Benzema. All other things aside, I'd take Benzema over him because of age alone.

I don't think it's because Benzema's performances in Real. Cassano was in Real too and flopped even harder.

For me it's a Del Piero or Trez case, Baggio or Vialli, Platini or Rossi. I go for the wizard ahead of a great striker (Or in Benzema's case, potential to be a great striker).
Between Cassano and Aguero, I choose Cassano too, even if the future might easily prove that to be a wrong decision.

I think that Cassano in Juve is something that simply must work.

For you it might not be but for many it is. Besides i doubt many of the Benzema haters have actually seen a ligue 1 match in all honesty.

Thats the thing with Benzema, i've watch him enough to know that he can provide creativity to the team & play as a lone striker.It's not a cut & dry case of him receiving service & scoring, he does his fair share of work. We need those kind of strikers because our midfield has the tendency to lose focus & lack ideas.

In any case i get what you're saying about Cassano but remember its just as big a gamble with Cassano. We don't know if he would replicate his form here or if he would actually go off the handles & cause problems amongst the players.

 

[Nenz]

If we had a good regista and left wing, I don't think we would need the 'wizardry' of Cassano in SS as much as we would need a goal scoring SS like Benzema. But I'm really 50/50 on it.

you might be right about Cassano if it wasn't for Del Neri and Marotta being here
they know him and know how to get the best out of him
he won't fail at Juve
I'm absolutely sure about that

You think Benzema is a potential to become a great striker? He's way passed that stage IMO. He's only minus in his resume is the move to Real which was a wrong career choice, nothing else. The guy scored 50 goals in his 2 last seasons in Lyon, not just in Ligue but in CL against much stronger teams. And the guy is not even 23 yet..

Cassano is great but will always be an enigma. Sampdoria should be his choice for life. He may have settled down, but I don't think he could handle the pressure here. Just imagine if it was him in Diego's place last year...he would have refused training by mid-season and requested a transfer. In Sampdoria he can basically do no wrong. Del Neri and Marrota are here true, but this is Juventus, that was Sampdoria...there's no excuses here.

Don't get me wrong, I'm pro-Cassano overall, he's worth the gamble, but if the choice is between Benz or him....for me it's a no-brainer.

Cassano didn`t flop at Real
Cassano back then wasn`t matured enough to play like he is playing now
when he went to Sampdoria he went down to earth and now is a completely different player

Some circumstances also play part in one's decision. Looking purely at our options at prima and seconda punta, we have:

1. Antonio Cassano - Kun Aguero
- The latter is very hard to get. Not gonna leave for less than 40m eur and we will certainly get opposition from big teams. If we don't get Cassano, we will most probably miss out on Kun too and we'll be left with....37 year old Del Piero.
2. Karim Benzema, Edin Dzeko, Giampaolo Pazzini
- Pazzini is mentioned as someone who scores a lot when he plays together with Cassano. If we miss out on Benzema we will still be one of the strong favorites to sign Dzeko. All the happenings from this summer, our relationship with Wolfsburg etc, leave us good chances to sign Dzeko.

In short, not buying Cassano will almost surely leave us weak in SS. Not buying Benzema still leaves us options at the target man position.

Of course, there are many potential cons in buying Cassano. Very complicated matter which will in the end be decided by some details and the preferences of our directors.

In any case, I will be happy if we buy Cassano or Benzema. Both are huge improvement over what we have.

 

[V]

It may just be me, but I think Dzeko and Benzema could work great together.

 

[Nenz]

With all this talk I'm already excited for next season.

 

[V]

In the end we'll most likely settle for Pazzini-Quagliarella duo.

And Rossi as backup SS next to Dzeko?
Is also an option instead of Kun and Cassano

There are ten more names of Rossi's quality as options for the SS position. Including Quagliarella.
I thought we were talking about quality here, not mediocrity.
