I ain't gonna fanboi him like some Muricans do in the McKennie thread. But welcome, bro, and hope you do well here.

Last time we bought a Portuguese defender with a knee injury (Andrade), it didn't end well.
That same season 2007, we bought another Portuguese player named Tiago, it didn't end well either (he sucked).
We really need luck this time.

Yeah, Juve has not had good luck with Portuguese players I'm afraid. And recovering long from an ACL is a crapshoot.

And Tiago? I can't knock him for his defensive prowess after giving me the heartiest laugh of the year with his botched defensive clearances in front of goal.

Will be 5th/6th choice...how much time do you think he will actually get?

There's no reason he shouldnt be pushing Sandro for his spot at the 5th CB down the stretch this season once he's fully integrated into the squad

 

[Badass J Elkann]

Poor guy, sat on the bench with rugani and yet Alex fucking sandro starts

 

[Boksic]

Is he even fit? He hasn't played in a year. Would be a bit odd to start him without easing him in after such a bad injury.

I'd take a 50% djalo over sandro still

you'd injure djaló into retirement in a week

just play rugani, easy starter over sandro

reminder juventus is broke but somehow could afford to spend 4.5m + wages + signing bonuses + agent fees on a player with an expiring contract that will never play.

and then you guys laugh at @Turk_Bianconero when he says there is corruption in the club management.

Is he injured?

Why doesn't he start over Rugs, Sandro, Gatti?

No he's training even played some friendlies. It's just Allegri.

This will certainly be one of the transfers of all times.

 

[Brny44]

I think that Howedes and Lucio will have more minutes in juventus jersey than him.

 

[Turk_Bianconero]

I think the guy who paid for him is an asshole. There is no other example of a professional football club signing a player who did not step on the pitch over a year.

I'm going with Andrade on this one.

 

[Alen]

Good transfer.

 

[Boksic]

Was always an odd transfer in that it is really for next season.

We clearly paid up front for him because we wanted him and didn't think he'd choose us on a bosman. Time will tell whether he is worth it but signing guys who are coming off a year long injury is a big risk.

We only need to look as far as Chiesa to see the impact an injury like that can have and the recovery time.

but he chose juve anyway? he could have rejected juve and waited for inter. to me it means the money was paid for no reason

True.

I'm assuming the guarantee of a big transfer now on higher wages and a rehab plan convinced him rather than waiting.

our bremer replacement

We are pathetic and there is still many years of embarrassment to come.
