Then there's the Continassa project, right? Isn't that due for 2015/16 as well?

 

[Joe]

Biabiany is so coming.

 

[Albo]

Agreed. From Milan I'd take SES though.

Yes please

Balotelli

 

[Jem83]

He sure is a cunt, not denying that. I just think it would be silly to pass up on him if we had the chance to sign him. But we probably won't, so....

 

[Trequartista]

He's not only a cunt, he makes Cassano look like an astrophysicist in comparison.

He is by far the stupidest athlete I have ever seen.

 

[Turk_Bianconero]

Balotelli will probably leave milan around the age of 25

Do you mean he already left milan once in 80's?

 

[Joe]

Balotelli do.not.want.

The guy thinks the world owes him something, very poor attitude, and flops everywhere.

Giuseppe Rossi > Balotelli

 

[alexjuventino]

Two work horse wingers in the summer thats it and if we can get a lb then fine but if we cant caceres should play there

 

[Zacheryah]

ogbonna works in that formation just fine.

Sure people will be asking for the fancy fullbacks, but this will get far better results

 

[Joe]

Ogbonna as a LB could very well work.

He may have had a shaky start to the Real Madrid match but he settled down later on.

Ogbonna has been solid as a LB when used there before.

 

[MikeM]

Sell Bonucci. Make Ogbonna primary back up CB. Buy real LB. Ogbonna offers nothing in attack.

I see you just woke up and didnt read the forum for a week. Good. I'll brief you.

We are talking about a 4-2-3-1 formation. A formation that has double wing coverage with workhorse wingers. Such formation does not require attacking fullbacks. No the only value of the fullbacks is quite simply the defensive strenght. Better defence makes better player for the position.

For this reason, Ogbonna and even chiellini would be massive there. Ogbonna has the added value that he can move up behind his winger, and is a trustworthy lay-back target, as he has good control and passing for a defender.


People need to start realising that juventus is a team of defensive might, aggression, pressing, but mostly dislocating opponent tactics and forcing them on our own.

That doesnt work with 7 offensive players.

Let me give you a blueprint of an ideal, juventus. Workhorse wingers are impossible to fund, but everyone knows their style

Would the 4-2-3-1 mean one of Vidal or Pogba (probably Pogs) has to take up a more defensive, stationary role, not making full use of their offensive prowess?

3-man midfield ftw.

Yup.

Possibly both if you played a back four with attacking full-backs.

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

Yup.

4-3-1-2 with offensive fullbacks

Yes, Zach, I know signing the required players for that won't be realistic.

 

[Red]

4-3-1-2 with offensive fullbacks

Not a system I like.

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

Not a system I like.

I don't really bother about systems. It's the players that make it, imo. Wouldn't it be lovely to have a diamond midfield of Vidal-Verratti-Pogba-Marchisio with Licht and Marcelo running the flanks?

Meh.

I'd probably sooner skip Verratti and play a 4-3-3 with Vidal-Pogba-Marchisio.

4-3-1-2 with offensive fullbacks

Yes, Zach, I know signing the required players for that won't be realistic.

Not a fan of offensive fullbacks tbh.

Oh dont worry, my 4-2-3-1 with sanchez and lavezzi isnt realistic eighter. Would need like what 70 mil or so at the bare minimum and then we havent even started on the wages

Mark, that midfield, doesnt the team lacks a bit creativity like that ? Unless its a 4-3-1-2 ?
