Valencia, Pedro is more of a intelligent wingforward who plays off others, highly efficient (atleast before injuries) but not your typical winger who runs down defenders and makes constant plays like Valencia (who is quite old school winger in several ways). We need the latter more then the former.

Oh Come on, watching Juve this season you should see that we need a Pedro type of winger, he's the more gifted, more capable on one on one situatioon, can break defences, good on the ball, could shoot with both feet and can play the possession game we are trying to instaure.
Plus the more important thing, he's the better finisher and that's exactly what we need, a winger who's can do some defensive work but capable of finishing and scoring.
The days of traditionnal wingers are basically over, the best wingers in the world are the ones capable of breaking defences and scoring not the one that will run till the corner flag and try to cross praying someone will meet their cross at the other end.

As much as I like Valencia (he may well be the best classic winger in the world), I don't know if he'd fit Juve's 4-3-3.

Someone more comfortable working in tighter spaces, moving inside would fit the system more.

Would be a danger of Valencia, despite being much better than Krasic, running into similar problems with a lack of space when being asked to drift inside to clear the space for Lichtsteiner to attack.

Not that it matters, since there is no chance Man Utd would let him leave.

I agree with both of you, but I was thinking more off purely on both of them, Pedro is someone who excells more in running into channels and realying on creativity of others more (more so now, he looks half the player he was after injury), then Valencia who isnt a 4-3-3 player, but at the very least would simply bombard down his flank and efficiently send in crosses nonstop.


I dont want Valencia as main options to get for us, chimed in on because he is so NOT "black" Pepe as mentionned, and I find his direct style more productive then Pedro's, atleast for a team who is limited, not already filled with class decisive players.



P.S Same archetype as Krasic, but what would differentiate them alot is footballing intelligence, Krasic has very little of it, while Valencia, who I have seen suffer in similar way Krasic has in "form", can adapt his play more then just keep repeating the same move/runs.

:thumbs: In alternative de jong althrough he is a number 9
Luuk? He's not ready for a big move yet.
Speaking of the Dutch league, there are some fantastic teams that have been put together or have emerged this season. I really hope it's on the up for good.

i know he is not ready for a big team but i think his price is still contained and in the future he will become very big
