albanese writes for gazzetta that not only ramsey can leave: besides some old names kulu, rabiot and mckennie, bentancur too disappointed allegri.

in the same article he also lists some indispensable players: de ligt, chiesa, loca and dybala can be the pillars of this new juve.

sounds a bit like a fan service. releasing ramsey or selling rabiot in january, give me a break. mckennie would be easy to move, but i bet he's not even on the market.

He's nowhere near lmao. If Matuidi attempted any of the dribbles in tight spaces Zakaria has in his locker or tried carrying the ball forward while dribbling past people he'd break both his legs in half.

Matuidi was just a runner. He was never a great tackler, never fast enough, never passed more than the closest man, never could carry the ball out of the defense etc. He was smart in his movement and positioning, that was it. Still a good player, but Zakaria is just much better technically, athletically, taller, stronger etc.

He is much closer to Pogba/SMS type of player than Matuidi. He's neither one but if you're set on comparing Matuidi isn't it
This coming from the same guy that said Kean reminded him of Cavani, so excuse me while I laugh at your little scouting report on a guy I'm 99% sure you've ever actually watched play. "Closer to Pogba/SMS type" lol get real

Well, he might be exaggerating, but you're seriously undervaluing the impact of Zakaria. He's no world beater, and is probably not world class, but he's also not a headless chicken like Matuidi. Zakaria is tall and physical and has a good engine on him. More importantly, he can actually move the ball forward and make passes, so he's not a Matuidi.

Mckennie and Kulu shouldnt be on the market, they have some talent to salvage and are good backup/rotation players. Too soon to give up on either.
It depends on how much is being offered - anything close to 30 million and you sell.
