Yea I think McKennie is better suited as a box to box. Zakaria will allow Locatelli to move further up the field where he can be most dangerous. Zakaria can also cover a ton of ground in front of the defense by himself. With Chiesa out and Kulusevski gone I would imagine Juve move to a 3 man midfield instead of the 4-4-2 we've been seeing most games. I think 4-3-1-2 would be best with Dybala behind Vlahovic and Morata
LOL on Ramsey; https://football-italia.net/why-ramsey-flopped-at-juventus-amid-injuries-and-misunderstandings/ Let's hope he passes his medical. Oh...and if he DOES pass his medical, WTF has he been doing all this season?

I think that formation is good but I would play locatelli behind Dybala and Vlahavic so we can drop into a 4 man midfield if we are getting over run. Apparently we are paying the majority of Ramseys wages when he moves to rangers.
The Ramsey move takes this to an A+ winder. One of, if not the best Jan. winder since winders were established.

All in all, we make a coup of a signing in Vlahovic and a midfielder who will help in Zakaria, while discarding rubbish, frankly, in Ramsey and Kulu and a player in Bentacur that never capitalized on his promise. I can't recall a better winter transfer window in recent memory.
Knowing Allegri that's probably a likely scenario. I would say it probably depends on the opponent, if we need to go on the offensive or play a weaker opponent I can see Dybala behind the strikers, against tougher teams I agree Locatelli would likely be the one behind the strikers.
I am just thankful that we got rid of trash like Bentancur and Ramsey. Kulu is very young and too green…hope he improves in EPL. Maybe he will get more playing time there. I am still concerned about Sandro because he has been garbage. We need a true RB.
McKennie did ok for the USA against Canada but was very inconsistent. I think though as a national team leader playing on a team like Juve, he should step up his game.
This team is much better now. It is up to Mad Max to step up his game and make this work. I don't wanna see some 4-4-2 BS with McKennie on the left though.
