Summer Transfers

[Serg10Aguero]

Our recruiting has seriously been shit, we still rely on the old guard.

I can't remember where i saw it, but there was a story that Pep was not impressed by our recruitment either and would be looking to take a more active role in it from now on than he would normally.

When you desperately need a goal in a knockout tie and the manager only makes 1 out of 3 subs, it's clear you have a problem with your squad depth.

well everyone to his opinion but I'm sincerely much more concerned about what's before and around them. Lots of people clamouring for Bonucci but forget that over the years Juve's defensive strengths have been largely down to midfield marshalls that take a helluva shit leaving the CBs to deal the remnant

Totally agree, yes our central defenders could be better, but our defensive system relies on winning the ball back quickly, requiring a quick press. When you're not able to rotate players without a massive drop off in quality, to maintain that style of play just isn't possible. Drop off in energy levels makes it that much easier for the opposition to play through and attack the defence directly. Our weakness at full-back just makes it worse.

It's hard to say if bonucci would look shit in our team. When kompany plays the odd game, we look solid at the back. Need a player who's a leader as well as good defender. Bringing a quality centre back needs to be done this summer. Fuck otamendi off, can't trust him.

Ideally we would want (in order of importance):
A quality leader at CB (Bonucci, Pique, Alderweireld, Laporte etc)
Between 2 and 4 highly functional fullbacks (Rose, Grimaldo, Bernat, Kimmich, Henrichs, Fabinho, Mendy etc)
A deep lying playmaker (Weigl, Paredes, Kroos, Busquets, Dahoud)
A good sweeper keeper (Ederson)
Another quick, talented forward who can play across the front line (Coman, Mbappé, Dybala, Sanchez)
A tough defensive midfielder (Carvalho, Kessie)
A "plan b" striker (Llorente, Gomez)
A younger silva-type (Bernardo Silva, Isco)

However that's way too much of an overhaul. I don't see any top class regista types being available, but we have Gündogan, Fernandinho and Garcia coming through. Isco seems like a top target so I see that being a deal of opportunity to get such a top quality young player at a reasonable price. Another forward would be necessary if Agüero leaves, otherwise we could definitely make do with Kun/Gabriel/Sané/Sterling/Nolito + one (or 2) of our talented youngsters (Ünal, Moreno, Roberts, Sancho). We NEED to inject a bit more quality in to our defence, personally would like to see Sagna stay another year and Kolarov go it looks like it may be the other way around. We need a top top quality centre-back, Bonucci would be perfect although how likely he is to leave Juve is uncertain.

Bonucci
Kimmich/Fabinho
Rose
Henrichs
Ederson
Isco

That would be an excellent window for me.

I absolutely respect your viewpoint and let me say I am a huge fan of Bonucci. No he wouldn't look lost in our team; I for one do not think he'll do badly here. (Well you cannot say for sure which is why football is the beautiful game)

Point I'm making is that if I had the chance to sign Bonucci with limited funds that I would've used to buy Isco or Sanchez at cut prices given their current situation, I'd go for the latter. I could even improvise and give Dinho a nod at RCB but I wouldn't pass up the opportunity. He may have shown bad behaviour recently but nobody'seems perfect. This is my very humble opinion ofrom course

Have seen those stories for two years and they're always bollocks.

And these posts asking for 8 new first team players are delusional.

I thought we tried to get Bonucci last summer and we couldn't get him? Why would be come this summer? Same with Laporte.

Are they? We got 6 new first team players last summer and Pep has already alluded to the overhaul, particularly in defence, multiple times. 8 doesn't seem so far fetched at all.

Moraes
Fabinho
Bonucci
Laporte
Bernat
Weigl
Isco
Llorente/Sanchez

Sad bit is 6 new players is still probably too less! There's about 12 players we need to get rid of and replace.
