messi11 Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Other things I find concerning about this transfer: 1) No other clubs are after Rodrigo Bentancur. Its just Villa. No one else wants him. Why? 2) Juventus cant wait to sell him, Even with a 50% of the money going to Boca they and willing to sell him for just 18Million. They want him GONE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DaveAV1 Posted January 26, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 26, 2022 VT logic. Anyone we want to sign and can get, must be crap or they would go elsewhere. Any players we want to sell, nobody will pay us more than £1.47 for because they’re crap. Any player we want to buy who isn’t crap their current club won’t sell them for less than double what they’re worth. Newcastle will buy all our targets and probably have the league sewn up by a week on Thursday. 10 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 1 hour ago, Keener window-cleaner said: I agree, playing so much for a top team like Juve suggests that he is a good player, the problem for me is that I think we are recruiting him as being our defensive midfielder, a no 6, and I have doubts that he will perform well for us there. If he would be recruited as a no 8 I would have less problems with it, but there we have enough players going to the summer and if we strengthen there we should probably go for someone more dynamic, then McKennie would make more sense for example. It's the defensive mf role where we need to strengthen (and more pressingly CB imo). I understand your concerns and I am not arguing by the way, because you make a relevant point. However, he does seem to be able to play as an 8 and a 6.....some players can, SG did in his career.....some players have more trouble in doing that. I don't profess to know much about him .....other than a top European team, having used him in 136 games at 24, he has largely been an ever present too.....that tells me, he must have something. Unless, there is something recent , we are not being told. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like the Lyon fans about Bertrand Traore , Juve fans have gotten in your head, If all we do is go by what the fans say then Trezeguet was held in high regard and highly rated by fans at Kasmimpasa as was Ally Sammata by the Genk support didn’t turn out all that well did they mate! And if Bentancur is that bad why is he a regular at Juventus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
