This one worries me the more you read into it. Their fans seem to really dislike him and don’t really think he’s a defensive midfielder. Just an FYI, this is the level that fans can get to when criticizing their own. This was the Chelsea forum days before Salah was sold to Roma. 4 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post CVByrne Posted January 23, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 23, 2022 All one needs is to read Villatalk about how we berate our own players. Buendia is a case in point. Our outstanding player right now and derided 6 weeks ago. A 24yo who has 200 games for Juventus and a stack of trophies. Has a load of caps for his country and we shout nah we don't want him.

He was an idiot though. 4 hours ago, Zatman said: Because the Lyon fans told them he was shit so people jumped on the bandwagon and will look stupid now to admit they were wrong Don't think that's fair. You can't tar everyone with that brush just because someone scored goals. How did he play overall? Well? We largely got what I thought we would from Traore, I'm still really surprised we signed him. In fact, he was even better because he got a very solid goals and assists return, and Smith still wanted to replace him. Doubt we'll get what we paid for him back off anyone. 3 hours ago, Zatman said: We were happy that Westwood went to Burnley. They seem to like him A lot didn't think Veretout would be any good I wasn't happy when Westwood left. Tried his best to use the ball in a team where no one was interested in taking it. The stuff I've read about people like Taylor, El Ghazi and Hourihane being scapegoats playing terribly week after week after week. Westwood, there's a scapegoat.

Tomaszk Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 4 hours ago, romavillan said: Not watched a lot of Juve, but Bentancur is a good player, I'd say more of a mediano/number six than a box to box player. So I asked a more informed journo friend, and he says: In a 4-3-3 he plays in front of the defence like he did at Boca, Allegri uses him differently because he's full of running and he's fairly big he plays on the right with Locatelli or Arthur in the middle. When he plays for the national team he's one of two int eh middle of a 4-4-2. Great player with room to improve. At that price it's an incredible deal and Juve need the money. Then we had a chat about Italian midfielders who might be buyable and he said Davide Frattesi at Sassuolo would be gettable at €25 and he's great but he'd be another 8 and we are looking for a 6. Good to hear. He'll take some time adjusting I think. Fabinho was about a season wasn't he? Hopefully he gets that. I'd be concerned if we sold Doug this window and went with him immediately. Sidenote: Frattesi is fantastic and I'd love us to sign him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 You just know that if he came in and had a meh debut, he would get labelled "the Uruguayan Glenn Whelan" on here. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StewieGriffin Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Seems like Juve desperately want Vlahovic but don't have the money so need to sell a couple to raise some, and seem pretty well stocked in midfield but Bentancur seems the only real sellable one 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence the term fan. Fanatical support for sports teams leads to overreactions in every facet of their support. Every game thread when things aren't going well is the prime example of that.
