    Ex-Manager watch: Antonio Conte

    He quite clearly said before the window that we were SHORT on players and that he needed 3 more. We shipped out 4 and brought in 2, which ofc is two less than before the window in terms of numbers. But then people started saying "oh but in reality these players 4 never played anyway, so if you...

    This is not true. He was bought during Allegris first stint as Juve manager. Nothing wrong with having different opinions on players, but don't make stuff up to fit your narrative. Bentancur signed in 2017 and Allegri left in 2019 but came back this season.

    Can't see what people are so hyped about. He plays sideways and backwards, seems really limited in his passing range and can't control the tempo very well. Decent engine but picks up a lot of cards and has been involved in some of the goals we've conceded by either not pressing (against...

    Match Threads Spurs Vs Southampton

    Can't control the game as a team and none of our CM can do it on their own like Modric and Dembele could do with ease. Emerson isn’t good enough but it isn’t his fault that (a) we signed him and (b) didnt buy a rwb in january. Stop buying bang average players, please.

    People that are disappointed that he isnt a Diaz/Son type of player only have themselves to blame lol. They have clearly never seen him play before and then just makes stuff up in their own imagination about his skillset and ability. Same thing goes for Bentancur who is now supposedly a city...

    The people who said he strikes the ball like Bale and so on is not doing him any favours. He's nothing like Bale and never was. Bale is a generational talent and had one of, if not the best, left foots the PL has ever seen. You're creating unrealistic expectations which will only be negative for...

    Match Threads Spurs Vs Brighton

    Bissouma was head and shoulders above any other midfielder on that pitch tonight. If his case gets resolved we need to pick him up, but I have a feeling that he'll end up at United...

    He will have to fight for it. Lucas has been playing well and its not exactly certain that Dejan is a better player at this moment in time. He does have the future ahead of him though.

    Managing Director Football: Fabio Paratici

    In regards to midfield he's making do with what he has rather than this being his prefered types. Check his previous teams.

    I have nothing against him. You can't blame a player for his lack of quality. The player did not make the decision to sign for a club nor does he decibed how much game time he gets or what kind of tasks are asked of him. If you have a player with limited ability and put him in situations that...

    Their down ward spiral started earlier. They won Serie A under Sarri in 19/20 with one point but didnt play well and Inter should've beaten them that year. Juve won 2 out of the last 8 games.

    People have different takes because they havent seen him play, just watched youtube.

    People havent seen him play and are blinded by the fact that he plays for Juventus, like that is a measurement of his quality. People associate Juve with greatness but this hasnt been the case for a few years. Time will tell but the fact that so many people in here have so different takes on...

    In what sense? Numbers? Because Bentancur and DJ are not in their plans. They're rebuilding after some poor seasons.
