Player Watch Player Watch: Rodrigo Bentancur

[barry]

This is what De Ligt said when asked about which players had suprised him after his first year with Juve

“So I’ll say there are two other players who struck me: one is [Paulo] Dybala, who has truly stunning technique. The other, and it might sound strange to some, is Rodrigo Bentancur, a player with truly amazing technical ability. He’s quite underrated. He’s a great player with a great future ahead of him.”

Really good thread..

Given that we have 3 CMs that Conte trusts, and 3 we are trying to ship out, it’s clear that anyone coming in who can be similar to Winks/Skipp/Hojbjerg will improve the depth of the squad and allow seamless rotation or substitution

 

[dtxspurs]

Not super surprising but Romano basically saying both kulusevski and bentancur are done

 

[thefierycamel]

Bissouma

Tbf he might be getting a move to prison FC soon enough though, so I don't think too many will be in for him until that stuff is sorted out

Really good thread..

Kinda makes him sound a little like Gomes at Everton.

I haven’t seen him play, but have trust that if Conte wants him, that is all that matters.

 

[taidgh]

This plus the fact they need cash for the shiny new striker they bought lol

Thank God we didn't get one of those!

Can you give a breakdown for those of us that can't bring themselves to enter the spiteful, angry world of twitter?

Was expecting some glowing reviews of him different from the common points most knew but gets more slightly underwhelming as one read down the thread. ?

You are just so wrong!

Probably far fetched, but maybe Paratici is very good at chess, pushed Juve to spend on DV now so that a numbers of their players became available due to the need to raise funds.

It will be interesting to see who Porto purchase with the Diaz money if anyone, maybe Lo Celso

and if we did sign dembele is that linked to traore going there…

Game theory or just me being too awake at stupid o’ clock

...the latter

So much obsession over the term 'creative'. The front 3 and wing backs will provide a majority of our attacking threat. Another Skipp/Hojbjerg is no bad thing. Only Winks has proven to be good enough competition in there.

I’ve been calling out for central midfield quality for years. If this guy is any good we need to go for it. It’s such an easy area of the team to upgrade. When Skipp is out the team struggles so badly and him having to play every game at his age is a big ask. This guy and bissouma in would be absolutely huge for us.

Paratici also gave my wife an orgasm yesterday. Stop reaching mate.

Really good thread..

Well, that set of opinions doesn’t really inspire me. Had the guy on mute on Twitter for some reason. So might go back to ignoring him! ?

 

[dudu]

You know I read this earlier thinking it would be insightful and it didn’t sound great and then I watched the video @fishhhandaricecake put up vs Torino and realised this person doesn’t have a clue

The thread is a rambling mess of him unable to decide what he thinks of the player. It quite a funny read

A taller south american version of Winks from the italian league that needs to adapt to both culture and Contes style since he isn’t one of the typical player-types in his system.

What can go wrong here?

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.

I know Juventus and Serie A have a reputation for match fixing, but that's so blatant its ridiculous!

 

[Dean]

Sorry mate but I don’t agree. He’s a defensive midfielder.

He’s scored 1 goal in 181 appearances for Juve…

He’s a good player and I rate him and he’ll improve us but he’s certainly not ‘very offensive naturally’

I read a report that he's better further up the pitch. That he plays where he plays due to necessity, not lack of talent from a creative perspective.

| Once #Tottenham complete the Dejan Kulusevski loan, they will turn their attentions to completing the transfer Rodrigo #Bentancur for around €24M, between fixed part and bonuses.

Will they fly in together or is he in Uruguay

Bentancur is in Uruguay. They have a World Cup Qualifier on Tuesday night.
