You must have been watching him with the blue tinted specs on last season then. Gignac plays for France, I think that answers your question. Infact, Sakho was ahead of Mangala in the pecking order before what happened so I think that just sums everything up.

The sooner he is sold, the better.

Maybe but how would their fans react? He is a big fan favourite there and Juventus aren't really desperate for money I think.

all the Italian teams are desperate for money, not Juve as much but Juve are also very smart at turning profits on players. Pogba the fans know will bring them a ridiculous amount of money and that he will be gone sooner than later, they have acccepted that. Bonucci would be a very tough decision for their management to make. No doubt a fan favorite along with Buffon they bring the intensity to the team. BUT 51 mil for a 29 year old CB would be a smart business move for Juve. Very interested to see how this one plays out. Bonucci is one of the best defenders in the world, he deserves to cash in before his career is over. Players make peanuts in Serie A, even at Juve. Let us make you rich Leonardo!!!!

maybe. But I saw a young lad coming to a new country and having to try and make up for his LB going AWOL on too many occasions. Let's see how he fares when we are set up and drilled. Doubt he will be sold this season

Vidal was also a great player for them but the amount of money they got for him at his age was a smart move for them.

That's true, the defence were all over the place under Pellegrini. It just makes me wonder why we would want 2 CB's and then also keeping Mangala as well. Otamendi will definitely stay so looks like Mangala will be at the bottom of the pile.
 
They'd be selling high on him, as much value as he'll ever get, but it may well be a bridge too far for Juve.

In theory if City push the boat out they may well have no choice, but Bonucci is the heart and soul of the squad and seems almost irreplaceable. Unless Juve have a big deal lined up for the money, they'd likely have a hard time selling it to their fans.

In what world do players in Serie A make peanuts?
 
Regardless of his age, it'd be an amazing signing if we got him. Arguably the best centre half in Europe.

I'll take a fit Bonucci over a fit Kompany any day. Kompany is a legend here no doubt, but we need to win and move on from players who cannot help us anymore. I do think there is a role for Kompany still but I would not feel confident if he were being relied on as an every day starting 11

What a ridiculous post - you start with the "fit" comparison and then say can't be relied upon, lol.

Fit Kompany is right up there with Bonucci as the best central defenders in the world.

I think he meant in comparison; Bonucci reportedly makes €3.5 million a year, City are offering €7 million. Obviously thats not peanuts but theres a bit of a difference.

His post isn't ridiculous at all, he personally thinks Bonnuci is better even if both are fit - which is an opinion most non city fans would share

And then he makes a second point that as much as he Kompany is a legend he can't be relied on to stay fit and in the XI every week -
Something that everyone should be accepting by now.
