[DAiDEViL]

If we continue with this formation we do lack depth for those box to box roles though. Only really have Ramsey and McKennie who can effectively play those roles.

True I guess. I'm just sick of having not one single worldclass mid in the team and stacking up mediocrity instead.

Rather have De Paul than Isco.

 

[alexjuventino]

We definitely need another CM, especially since Pirlo switched to 3-man midfield.

De Paul is a good player but not one that makes the department world class...

Switched to a 3 man mid? He still says it's a 2 man mid.

No doubt , Aouar > De Paul > Isco

 

[DAiDEViL]

How fat is Isco?

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

De Paul is very talented, I'm just skeptical of players that come from Udinese. Plus he's Argentine lol

Bentancur, Rabiot, Arthur, McKennie are all "supporting" players at best, we need someone to come in and run things in midfield

Also don't think Locatelli is that guy.

Isco... lol

Aouar seems to have it imo, but you never really know until they put on the Juve shirt

 

[X Æ A-12]

idk dude when I heard about Locatelli rumors this summer I figured he was another mediocre jabroni. Since then I've watched a couple Sass and Italy games with him and I think he is seriously good. If he is like this consistently then he is definitely good enough to be here.

 

[Robee]

De Paul could be a solid addition if he finds his feet at Juve. Locatelli as well. The thing with these 2 is, they're not exactly "certainties" to immediately come in and run things for us which is what obviously need. So I'd prefer one Pogba in the winter mercato, who I'm confident with. Get the other 2 next summer combined with shipping out Ramsey, Rabiot and Bentancur.

It's very unlikely Locatelli would risk moving before the Euros anyway.

 

[Gigiventus]

De Paul is not world class but he would do wonders for us. He combines workmate with technical ability, he is an asshole on the pitch to the levels of Litchsteiner, and that is useful too.

Him in place of McKennie would bump us up a level. Having someone hustle all over the field while actually having a good vision and technique around the box.

Same with Locatelli over Rabiot or Bentancur.

These players won't be prime Pogba but they sure as hell improve us. Also, 2020 Pogba is extremely far from prime Pogba as well.

 

[Orgut]

Maybe only pogba for stright swap. He wants to leave. Similar (or almost) MV. And it seems pirlo is getting the band back together.
Is tottenham still want him?
Barca is in difficult financial situation too. Maybe in summer if messi leave and griezman too. Too difficult in this winter transfer.

Pogba is an option for us but Why do they need Dybala when they have Martial?

Well its Isco>Aouar>RDP for me but Im not enthusiastic about any of them.

Nah, he said it changes during the game depending on situation/need.

If he fields Ramsey - Bentancur/Arthur - McKennie then you can't say it's two man midfield. Pirlo basically benched one winger (Kulu/Chiesa) for McKennie.


Locatelli would be a good buy but he won't move in January, no chance. Pogba is out of reach IMO, that leaves us with Aouar, De Paul and Isco. Not sure about possibilities here and the club's preferences but I'm pretty sure De Paul would be the easiest to get. He fits our needs in terms of profile, not sure how he will do in terms of quality.

Fixed.

Also, McKennie is one of the few players that has been consistently good when played. Replacing him wouldn't be the smartest of moves as we have for more pressing matters.

 

[GarfielD]

I still can't believe we didn't got one of De Paul or Locatelli back in the summer.

He says it's a 2 man mid and it could become 3 in transition

Where’s Christmas thread?

Buon natale a tutti

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

Would Man U or PSG be interested in Bonucci?

Don't know but I'm pretty certain Bonucci has no interest in going anywhere.

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

If we drop him he might

 

[il brutto]

If we drop him he might

I seriously doubt that. He has shown zero interest in going abroad thus far in his career. Maybe his son can convince him to join Torino.
