villa are close to signing balde keita from lazio. He's pretty good right?

Yeah he's actually been a very impressive talent, had a great season, he just happened to be in the same squad as Felipe Anderson, who overshadowed the whole team.

I have been slightly impressed by Padoin today? he had that reckless yellow but he's been working his rear end off retrieving possession.

What I'm trying to say is, Padoin is our perfect Vidal-Tevez-Pirlo replacement.

Just getting around to watching the first 60 minutes of the Juve game (I turned it off because, just, wow) and I don't understand how we went from CL finalists to loving struggling against Chievo. We beat Real loving Madrid and we're getting clowned by former relegation fodder.

Were Vidal, Pirlo, and Tevez really that pivotal to the team?

Gigi Galli posted:

Yesterday's game was one where Tevez would have scored almost certainly. Juve had some chances, especially after Pogba came on, but not enough quality to finish them. Like Ibra with Milan, those three made everyone else around them look better.

Do you guys think we would have benefited from having Mandzukic out there? Dybala and Morata is good but there's no veteran striker there, maybe someone with a bit more experience putting the ball in the loving net would have helped?

The crisis is over lads

After the second half I thought we looked really good, Cuadrado especially impressed me.

Is this because our players just expect to win league games and actually decide to show up when we've got some team of repute to play instead of Chievo.

Morata will be out for 1-2 weeks, but there were no tears in his muscles, just strain. Mandzukic is out for at least three weeks.

Reminder that there are midweek games this week as well.

Honestly we're in loving shambles. The only people who look like they know what they're doing out Bonucci, Chiellini, and Pogba. We STARTED Padoin today.

Boca aren't paying Tevez and he said he will come back in January if things don't get better. Would be a great mentor for Dybala but then there would be a surplus of attackers.

As soon as Mandzukic comes back Morata/Dybala/Zaza/Mandzukic will get injured.

I saw someone on Twitter point out that Juve already used their non EU transfer spots on Cuadrado and Hernanes, so Tevez probably couldn't transfer in January anyways.

E: I guess Hernanes doesn't count since he came from an Italian club. So idk, ijdk. I guess Alex Sandro counts?

Cuadrado came from Chelsea? And Sandro came from Porto? Why does Hernanes not count and they do? Can we solve this problem by firing Hernanes out of some kind of giant cannon into the sun?

I think most people knew he would be absurdly good in MLS because he could've easily played for anyone except Juventus in Italy, and really he probably could have slotted in just fine, but Conte didn't pick him above others. Barcelona might be a stretch but he should really come back to Europe.

Come home, Sebastian.
