so?

btw it's easy to tactically transform this juve from playing with pirlo to playing with mata as an amc, just tell vidal and marchisio/pogba to play deeper to cover the free role amc, in fact theoritically this can make us significantly stronger as our powerhouse hard working midfielders can more easily track back more quickly than playing so far ahead from a defensively fragile pirlo while at the same time having such world class amc will be just like having a second tevez in offense something we all are quite amazed these days.

You can offcourse stop the Mata bull$#@!, once you realise this is juventus, not milan.

So, why is mata, a massively talented player, potentially on the market ?
Quite simply, cause he's a fancypants freerole flank dude, that doesnt offer the tactical and defensive work that mourinho requires of his wider players.

Hazard, is doing much better in that regard. He's no eto'o who Mou used allmost as a defensive winger at inter, but he's doing his tracking back, pressuring opponents and closing down like Mou asks. Mata doesnt, so he's not in the team.

Now, what coach is known to understand its clubs tradition and value's, and demands exactly the same grit, determination and workrate from his wide&offensive players ?

Antonio Conte.

The very reason Mata is failing to play for Mou's chelsea, is exactly what we value the most in potential 4-3-3 wide forwards.

SO if Mata cannot adapt to Mourinho's style, he equally cannot adapt to juve's style.

Its tuttosport, so likely $#@!, but it would be a very good move.

Pirlo is decaying hard, and pogba has showed that he is ineffective as a regista, but talented as $#@! as box-to-box midfielder.

The way you crash people's dreams was awfully missed

Where is Pogba? Or have you decided to sell him to finance the purchase of Draxler?

I put Marchisio there because he adds some more defensive support as opposed to Pogba, we'll need it if we play with an AM.

I think we should just look to be opportunistic in this mercato. The system and squad is set. A world class versatile wing back could be of some use though.

Marchisio and Vidal or too similar in terms of their roles.One of them has to sit deep and Pogba would be ideal in a 2 man midfield since he's used to play deep.

It has to be either Pogba-Vidal or Pogba-Marchisio in that formation.

1st team (352): Buffon; Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini; Licht, Vidal, Pirlo, Marchisio, Asamoah; Tevez, Llorente.

2nd team (343): Storari; Caceres, Ogbonna, Peluso; Isla, Padoin, Pogba, De Ceglie; Giovinco, Vucinic, Quagliarella.

What we really need is more options in the 2nd team. We have an absolutely awful player (De Ceglie), 3 very average players (at best) with Peluso, Padoin, Giovinco.

We need at the very least a LWB to rotate and an AM/CM.
