If we sign him AND Kompany miraculously stays fit we would have the best CB pairing in world football.

I reckon under the right guidance, Kompany, Mangala, Stones, Otamendi,Bonucci means we can rotate and have the best defence in the world. We are going to be so solid next season and I cant wait.
 
have a feeling he will renew his contract at Juve, will do a Del Piero.

I don't think we are being played. City have become experienced in these deals, and will be wary of being stung in that way. Interesting to note that his agent is coming to City, not us going to meet him. No doubt a tour of the CFA, stadium and a meeting with Pep will be on the agenda.

Bonucci is 29, if he ever wants to try a different league now is his last big chance at it. My big concern is that interest from Conte might see him join Chelsea if they are prepared to pay what we are. Hopefully the Pep factor will swing it in our favour though.
 
Source seems all kinds of sketchy.

Would love this one to be true, but I still can't see Juve going along with it.

You can say that again - the guy seems to have a problem with black players representing France, and isn't even a football journalist.

The "being used for new contract" thing doesn't add up - Bonucci only signed a 5 year deal last season.

It's nothing like Ramos, who was nearing the end of his contract.

Yes centrally but unless we improve our full backs then we'll still have problems in defence. 43M for a 29 year old ? the football world has taken madness to a new level.
 
I'm only speculating - and Pep changes his formations all the time but I do wonder if he's planning 3 at the back quite often on the basis he wanted Stones and Laporte - would Pep be planning to play them as his primary CBs in a four? Possibly not - more likely in a three with the more experienced Kompany. Again Bonucci is ready made for a back three formation rather than a four.

They hate us whatever we do - so best just crack on and give them something to hate : )
