This is going to make for one interesting january window. Now team that get through the group stages can pick up players to strengthen that weren't available before.
I truly hope Pogba returns, Allegri used him at his full potential, he would be such a huge upgrade by replacing Khedira, and now the concerning part would be where does Pjanic fit in there? We definitely need Emre Can in there, he is better on the defensive end, and Pogba would be our main attacking midfielder. We gave Pjanic a decent size contract, does that mean we ship Pjanic and Khedira maybe to ManU so we can bring Pogba in and pair him with Can/Bentacur? I think this line up would be very strong Ronaldo Mandzukic Dybala Sandro Pogba Can Costa Chiellini Bonucci Rugani You can interchange Costa if you need to bolster defense, but this is such a strong lineup it be nuts, basically Dybala would be playing behind Mario and Ronaldo and be a free roamer. Pogba would bring lots of versatility, of course we aren’t bringing him just for another league title, but for another deep run at the CL, I’m sure Allegri would be happy to take him back. Juve can not afford Pogba unless we unload Pjanic and Khedira then we can. Maybe even selling Cuadrado might be the next step. I just like Costa so much more, the way he makes things appear when he dribbles, something Cuadrado hasn’t been able to do. Right now we can easily replace the likes of Pjanic, Khedira, Cuadrado. It’s rare to see a team with so much talent at almost every point and subs are there who are equally available to go in without much impact.
This Pogba thing may actually have legs. Now Brit papers reporting he has handed in a transfer request for January: https://www.calciomercato.com/en/ne...in-transfer-request-to-man-utd-juve-the-80089
After we signed Ronaldo, I'm not surprised my any move. Imagine yesterday's squad with Pogba playing in place of Khedira.
Sooooo.......it looks like we were really 3rd Choice for Ronaldo: https://www.calciomercato.com/en/news/mourinho-rejected-chance-to-sign-ronaldo-49433
do you guy even watch the PL? Pogba has been in terrible form last year and the past 3 united games. I dont wanna hear its Joses fault becuz Alexis Sanchez has been aII up and down the pitch working his tail off while Paul jogs around and yells at his mates wanting him back is like building a madden football team. He aIso left in a very rude way... because he thought Juve were finished... and he disrespected the 10 jersey.
Jose didn’t know how to use Pogba, the coaching there has been total dog s*t. When Pogba gets here he will play much better, also getting Pogba here he will make Dybala even better. He will be taking the role of distributing the ball and coming forward. Pogba also is use to the Italian defenses, and he did very well when he was here, so I expect us to be just fine.
Sanchez has not performed up to his standards either. Yes maybe running up and down the pitch but he is really underperforming as well. Almost all United players have been underperforming except De Gea and Lukaku.
There's a little tournament that took place this past summer that proved he still has it. Mourinho has clearly stunted his development at United. You'd have to be mad not to want a player of his caliber at Juve, especially considering how good he was when he was here.
Yeah, makes total sense. Mourinho would totally reject having Ronaldo back given that he has a much better player in Alexis lol.
Mou is denying that story now: https://www.football-italia.net/127499/united-were-never-offered-ronaldo
Zenit has a history of being linked with Italians though. Criscito, Rosina, and Mancini were all there at certain points. There has always been an Italian player there since 2009.
To me it says a lot that Marchisio went to Russia. Teams could have signed him for free, but why on a player that is nowhere near what he used to be.
Zenit obviously does not think he is "past it". 2 year, @ 6 million per year contract, plus he is their #10. https://www.calciomercato.com/en/news/marchisio-zenit-monster-contract-decisive-26145
It's Russia and Zenit isn't in the CL. I'm not all that impressed. Looks like he's even making less there than if he stayed at Juve.
