Yes, for sure that would be the perfect starting XI for us. I agree, but Pereyra should have lots of competition with hernanes. Pereyra will start for sure for the time being, because he is used to playing with us. Hernanes may need some time until he plays regularly.

@Devi: Are you sure? I think you mean thirty days or you read it wrong.

Khedira back in thirty days

As reported by the BBC, Sami Khedira, stand still again for thirty days, but potentially deal of the year, both in terms of economic and technical standpoint. The German has been 'hijacked' to Real Madrid out of contract, and in good physical condition is definitely one of the best midfielders, experienced and reliable international scene. Khedira has now one more reason to hasten the recovery time, the new Juve really seems tailor-made for him.

Yeah my bad, 30 it is

Not getting Draxler was a blessing in disguise. Berardi will add another season of experience at Sassuolo and then, he will finally be ready to join us next season

I can already fap to those Berardi-Dybala combos

BUT, what if we had signed Draxler, would Berardi be up for sale then ? Were we looking for a TQ because the management doesn't find him suitable for the TQ role or he simply doesn't want to join us permanently ?

Devi ? anyone knows what's going on ?

Yeah hernanes is a short term solution for Berardi it seems.

I feel like Hernanes is more a back-up for Lemina
Lemina seem to be a good play-maker
he may become similar to Pirlo
but we cannot trust the season on him so it is good to have Hernanes just to make sure if somethign goes bad
otherwise Juventus have to play without Hernanes but with Lemina + Pogba + one of the Sturaro, Marchisio, Khedira on the center, with Cuadrado + ALex sandro supporting from the wide

Watching Lemina's and Hernanes' first interviews as Juventus players... Lemina said his preferred position is a box to box midfielder and Hernanes said he prefers to play as a trequartista and expects to play there


With a fit Khedira replacing Lemina in the starting 11

Players like Pereyra, Asamoah, Cuadrado all give the possibility of different formations though. Lot of options, it will be interesting to see what becomes the best mix of players and what formation that means

Padion isn't selected for the champions league

Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis confirms Juventus made an offer for Marek Hamsik.

It was reported yesterday that the Bianconeri had made an offer for the Slovakian midfielder, which was swiftly rejected by the Vesuviani.

Speaking to Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli, the patron confirmed an offer had arrived, and defended the club’s summer transfer campaign.

“This is a team which has kept its stars,” De Laurentiis pointed out.

“We had offers totalling €98m, not including [Gonzalo] Higuain, not selling them is the same as if I had bought players worth that much.

“I offered [Roma sporting director Walter] Sabatini €28m for [Alessio] Romagnoli, who then sold him [to Milan] for €3m less than previously discussed.

“Juventus wanted Hamsik for €25m, I asked them for [Stefano] Sturaro and [Daniele] Rugani and they refused… they got Hernanes instead!

“Chiriches is a good buy, if anything the problem isn’t that we couldn’t Rugani or Romagnoli, it’s that identifying and getting the best central defenders is difficult.

“If you’re man-marking, you need a certain type of defender, if not there’s a different attitude, and that’s why we’ve struggled.

“In the first game we were good for 20 minutes, in the second for 55 minutes. We have the best attack in Italy, unfortunately in the Sampdoria game injuries stopped us making changes in that area.

“I have to laugh when fans want everything immediately, this year there’s a different style of play [under Maurizio Sarri], the defensive line is very high and it takes a lot of energy.

“We’ve gone from doing one training session a day, to doing two a day in 40 degree heat, and it’s obvious it takes patience for the team to gel.

“You can’t immediately turn up your nose, thinking that since we’re Napoli we can only have [last season’s Coach] Rafa Benitez.

“I smile when people say we failed last season with the Spaniard, we missed four penalties, if they’d been goals then where would we have been?

“Neapolitans should realise the difficulties their city faces, the port hasn’t been busy for years, and the Chinese prefer Civitavecchia.

“Our goals also depend on what the other teams do. Sarri may lose another five or six games, I knew when I chose him that it would take time, we can’t win everything right away.”

De Laurentiis also discussed the arrival of Nathaniel Chalobah, and says Napoli will try to sign him if he does well.

“I hope he’s a great player, but for example Sarri is not using [Ivan] Strinic because he’s got less training in his legs than the others.

“The new buys are likely to be used in a month or so. Chelsea didn’t want to give us a buyout clause, because they have a lot of faith in him, but if he’s a revelation then we’ll go on the attack.”

Rugani is the future. Stupid demand for an okay player

Really happy with Hernanes over Hamsik. Never really rated Hamsik

Folks need to understand that Chiellini has peeked and did between the last 2-3 seasons. He will only be slower and even more clumpsy/desperate than ever from this point.

Rugani is a reality Max will probably face with calm and ease by injecting him slowly but i for one would like to see it happen now as i agree BonBon has improved over the last 2 years, but after 5 years i still think hes a clown.

Dybala our new blessed child has the most wonderful corners ive ever seen. And it was about time as Del P and Pirlo was strangely awfull at that.

I really thank Marotta for getting Hernanes as i think he will be just perfect and easy gel with the team and of course he will only play as TQ.

I still believe in Chiellini

However, I see your point. He's had some performances that have left a lot to be desired

And that represents how I feel about Lichtsteiner too... really not convinced by him. I like him better in a 4 man back line because he has less expectations going forward but in a 3-5-2 he should never see time with Cuadrado on the team

I would like to see Hernanes play as CM instead, something ala Pirlo with Pogba and Pereyra in midfield.Sounds like a good combo to make a quick impact/change in our poor performances.

What worries me is Asamoah not being in CL league,means he's having a serious injury and we will only have injury prone Khedira to rely as starter.
But we do have enough depth now that we got Hernanes, with Marchisio back and Khedira following we'll have all our guns ready.

Cuadrado-Morata-Dybala

Pogba-Hernanes-Pereyra

Sandro-Chiellini-Bonucci-Lichtsteiner

Gigi


P.S we also got a good FK taker in Hernanes

I agree on licht and i would also like Caceres instead of him in a back 4
I hope the 3-5-2 is finally gone but it might not happen for many years and then Sandro and Quadrado should be perfect.

Licht is declining so damn fast but I expected that tbh.
Chiellini isn't the defender he was, but if you want someone to mark tall ST and kick the shit out of him he still is your man.

Positioning was never his strong side.

with Hernanes, I have to wonder what Cuadrado's role will be, back-up to Hernanes as an AM? Surely I'd love to see him there or an often 4-3-3. with his speed he can offer some trouble to the opposition, also my money is on Lemina, as I pointed out am very happy for us getting him, was impressive when we played them when he owned our midfield, skillful and quick too, he might displace Sturaro soon, my worry is when everyone is fit, maybe there will be some mad rotation, hope Neto is given lots of chances too as he is a quality keeper and it saddens me that he had Buffon to contend with but hopefully he gets the home games vs he scrubs at least (10-12 starts won't be bad), maybe Pereyra at CM and Hernanes and Cuadrado rotate at TQ, Mandzukic must be benched, Morata-Dybala attack offers speed and more threat than Mandzurente will offer this team.

Cuadrado is like the "x-factor"
Really not sure when and where he will play but he has the necessary talent and can be a quality player.

I am very excited for the next Juventus game, I want to see how it all unfolds.

Chiellini peaked? loooooooooololololololololooooooooooooooolllllllll. Oh lord.....

i think its his opinion and you should stop using such techniques to argue/debate, if you don't think so just quote whoever said so and state otherwise with a reasonable opinion than the way you did.
