What I want is:
Buffon;Chiellini Barzagli CB Lichtsteiner;Vidal Pirlo Marchisio;forward Cavani forward
CB - Hummels if he is as good as I heard. Vidic could be also an option, Nesta if he is free could play for a season or two, W.Samuel I wouldnt mind him for free eigther.
Forwards - Robben, Ribery, Hamsik could also be playing in that position, Neymar
What might happen - Chiellini Barzagli Bonucci Lichtsteiner; Vidal Pirlo Marchisio; G.Rossi/Vucinic Damiao/Matri/Vucinic Pepe
*Its Damiao or Rossi dont think we will buy 2 forwards
Might be true, but there are other aspects of Matri's game that make up for it. He's a good finisher, can make a fairly decent cross and pass even when he goes wide. Borriello's physicality is something Matri is missing, and like you said that classical CF hold up skill, but I just hope it doesn't mean he will be sold because he can become s key figure in the Juve attack in the years ahead. Like a better version if Inzaghi.
Another person besides me who think Matri is being underated here?! I thought I am the only one to actually see it
Matri is not a bad finisher at all and he does remind Inzaghi
Dont know why people here are saying Matri off the ball movement is not good
IMO Matri is the only forward who does try to beat the offside and try to get it easier for his team to assist him
Not saying Matri is WC as he is far from it but he isnt that bad...
As for Inzaghi people here hail him like he was the best striker ever
They remember all his goals!
What they dont remember is that while he did posses a great off the ball movement (probably the best in that category) he also did miss lots of chances
Inzaghi stats at Juve are:
(I`ll take the league games alone since Matri is only playing in the league)
year: 98 99 00 01
goals: 18 15 15 11
its good but not great
He is a great scorer but dont forget he did miss lots of chances
Then there was Trez who was extremely clinical
His off the ball movement wasnt as good as Inzaghi`s as he didnt get half the amount of chances Inzaghi got but he converted most of them
a true finisher altough like most of the players he did had his weakness as if you put aside his shooting towards goal it seems like he is not even on the field, it seems like the team play with 10 men.
Now there is a long road for Matri untill he could be judged rightly but as for now his numbers are not bad, every time I watch him (and I watch most of the games) he doesnt miss that much.
I think people here see all the misses of all of our players and blame it on him because he is the main striker so if the team doesnt score its his fault
If Pepe Vucinic Quag Marchisio Vidal Padoin... misses its not Matri`s fault
Matri is not WC but he is a good player IMO
