sne Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 From this summer. Some pro's and cons. Long-ish read that features the dreaded "Regista" word Quote Juventus: It’s a make or break season for Rodrigo Bentancur Andrea Pirlo was keen to continue his development as a regista; handing the midfielder a huge responsibility in the build-up phase, in particular. Nevertheless, his role wasn’t too dissimilar to the one he competently performed for Sarri. Why did his form fall off a cliff, Max Kellerman style? Last season, the Uruguayan was bereft of the requisite technical security to execute the role effectively. Unforced errors emerged as a ubiquitous annoyance in his game, often hampering his side’s ability to play out from the back. His manager, meanwhile, was aware of his player’s struggles. Allegri’s default system of choice remains unclear for the upcoming campaign. The 4-2-3-1 has been rumoured, but the 4-3-3 has been utilised throughout pre-season up to this point. Nevertheless, Bentancur has plenty of competition in midfield, with Rabiot, Weston McKennie, Aaron Ramsey and, surely, Manuel Locatelli fighting for starting berths this season. While the returning manager’s possession structure remains ambiguous, it’s clear that Bentancur will not be continuing as the side’s regista. Last season, Allegri noted Bentancur’s deficiencies in this role while on punditry duty: “In my opinion, Bentancur cannot play in front of the defence. He can play a match, but not more. Rodrigo is very good, but in front of the defence he has a playing time of 1-3 [seconds]: he stops, looks and then passes,” he said (via Il Bianconero). https://oldjuve.com/2021/08/09/its-a-make-or-break-season-for-rodrigo-bentancur-juventus/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can only play as a 10 according to the experts on here. Casemiro is from South America - so who thinks he can’t play at DM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As he would see This bloke and Luiz as our DLP/DMs etc? At very least it would push him further down the pecking order. Poor Nakamba ffs with the injury at the worst possible time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaAlex Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Not the profile we need in my opinion. Similar level to Douglas Luiz and I think we need better. Most important position on pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thabucks Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 https://football-italia.net/juventus-midfielder-bentancur-wanted-by-aston-villa/amp/ Quote Bentancur is not always first choice under Max Allegri in Turin and the Uruguay international has caught the eye of Villa manager Steven Gerrard. The 24-year-old has made 25 competitive appearances for Juventus so far this season, contributing three assists. Better option than Weston McKennie?

Allegri quite likes McKennie apparently and he's been much improved this season. Supposedly he's one of the few players Juve are not looking to cash in on. But I think they would consider offers for all of their players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To sign a player good enough to improve our starting XI but also capable of providing cover in so many areas of the pitch would be a massive boon. This is precisely the sort of player any team needs for true depth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWARLEY2 Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Juventus have had some incredible midfielders over the years so a couple of Juve fans saying he is a bad passer has to be taken in its context. Basically he is a worse passer than Pirlo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
