Indigo Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 This whole "yeah but Juve are 7th so it doesn't mean anything" is just baffling to me, as if every season prior to this one is an irrelevance. He's played for them more often than he hasn't and in the process collected 3 Serie A titles and 2 Coppa Italias, and at international level has just shy of 50 caps for a side that aren't exactly too shabby in that area of the pitch at the mere age of 24. In addition, all the elements of his play fall exactly in line with what fans have been crying out for in a signing and have evidently been recognised by Villa's data analysis and recruitment team, and they're apparently going to get the deal done for a sum that in modern football terms is more than reasonable when you take all of this into account. But yeah, shite signing on paper because some Juve fans online don't like him. I despair. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KMitch Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 (edited) These comments about Bentancur from Juve fans reminds me of every Man United supporter complaining about Fred being the worst player in the history of football.

Greenfly Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 I couldn't care less what Juve fan's opinion of him is. Let's be honest, average fans are idiots when it comes to accurately judging a player's quality. Also Juve fans are similar to Real Madrid fans when it comes to the way they talk about their players. They're just about the worst, most entitled set of glory hunting fans going. They probably hate him because he isn't Pirlo. I'm sure he'd do very well here. And if he's anything less than extraordinary right of the bat, I'll give him at least 3 kicks of the ball before making any judgment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GIVe TheM WhaT ThEy WAnt" I wouldn't be against signing Bissouma but this fascination with him and blind ignorance of the main facets of both players does seem a little odd: Bentancur: Has the pedigree of playing for a CL side (over 150 caps at 24) and a top international side Rave reviews just 18 months ago by basically every stats network and wanted by top sides across Europe including City and Barca. Purportedly available for as little as £16/18m. Stats across the last 4 seasons take a huge shit on Bissouma in literally every single category except dribbling which isn't even part of the role we'd want him to play. Some posters on VT's conclusion: "Yeah but 15 Juve fans have said he's shit so lets spend 3 times the money on Yves Bissouma"... ALL of this, without even taking into account that if our scouts and management rate him, including our manager who himself was a world class midfielder, then we should automatically rate him. 5 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the people on VT are like that. We just signed Coutinho. Like me, many have said we don't know this guy and whether he is any good or bad but there is a lot of negative stuff about him and there is nothing wrong with actually listening to the negative messages and querying if there is any validity to them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ding ding ding. Clubs who have had sustained periods of unreasonable dominance seem to have all amassed these petulant manchild fans with hyperbolic opinions on every player. United are the worst example but there are plenty of others. Lyon also seem quite bad for it. Last season I saw Lyon fans on Reddit saying Traore was the worst footballer they'd ever seen with no skill and no end product. For all his faults those are the two things he seems to have most of. Bentacur might be good or not, I have not watched him enough to know but I have seen enough spoiled brat fan opinions to know they're **** worthless.
