He will play sarriball...Ghoulam had same issue he has right now when sarri took over Napoli...We need attacking reinforcements more than defensive additions... Goals wins you games... I SO want to believe in Emerson as the answer, but I have not seen enough so far to alleviate my fears. I am absolutely not ready to write him off yet, but I do have concerns. Alonso is another story. I am 75% of the way to saying he isn't up to the task. At RB, if Azpi goes down we are fucked. Unionjack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alabama 1,992 Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 That's why I said at this point signing a right back seems the right choice...I don't know the reason sarri is hellbent on Rugani... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because he managed him at Empoli, and he is very expansive in his distribution. It is why Real Madrid wants him so badly too. He is a good foil to Varane in their case. The best ball playing CB's now of the top 50 (in no order) Kalidou Koulibaly (and is 2nd best CB in the world IMHO, only Varane is better) John Stones (but is weak as a pure defender) Marquinhos Key player for Brasil in 2022, he will be captain and leader of their back 4 Aymeric Laporte (best player in the world atm with ZERO caps, was criminal France picked Adil Rami over him, IF Varane or Umtiti had been injured early, I am not sure they would won WC, although Presnel Kimpembe probably could have done the job as well as Laporte, France is so deep that even though they had had injuries in FB too (Mendy still not fully recovered and Sidibe hurt as well, they had a natural CB in Pavard swing over to RB, where he was a revelation) David Luiz (but same story as Stones, can be weak defensively) Virgil van Dijk (same type player as Koulibaly, big, fast, great distributor, thank god LPool doesn't have both or they would terrifying, put Coutinho back and add KK on that team, they would do the Treble, I am convinced, unless Firmino got hurt,as he is all they have for good striker, but what a striker to have) Gerard Piquét (bellend, but cannot deny his great ball skills) Andreas Christensen he is going to KILL it in Sarriball Alessio Romagnoli I gave up on us getting him 2 years ago, AC Milan will never sell, not unless someone waves 80 to 100m in their face, and I also have not seen him take it to top ten level I was sure he would, but give him time Clément Lenglet Piquét's heir apparent, superb on the ball 22yo CB Harry Maguire has come on like gangbusters,WC is just more evidence Leonardo Bonucci years of evidence on him after those 12 (we could argue over a couple others I didnt add) Daniele Rugani is probably next or near next for ball playing CB's (I HATE Otamendi, please dont ask me to stick him in here, lolol, he is far too shitty on defence) I think you see a trait in all this, as Man City, Barca, Napoli (KK's partner Raúl Albiol is great on the ball as well), and now us in Sarriball are all expansive teams with ball playing CB's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way what can you say about Thilo Kehrer...also a sensational ball playing defender that won't cost shit loads of fund...can also play as central defensive midfielder...

Our primary weakness is deep lying play-maker and a quality right winger...now the club addressed the former in Jorginho while the latter has never been improved..am afraid with our current squad I cant see us making top 4 due to lack of goal scores...goals wins you games not defenders...

But if the players we have in a position wont work well then they need upgrading or changing to ones that will Its painfully obvious that not only our RAM needs changing but not one of our strikers have the mentality to be any good. We have guys on here that reckon we are good enough or just replace Willian. But what we need takes money or a long time and I dont think Sarri will get either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vesper 30,219 Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Fuck Juve!! They fucking pulled another Alex Sandro on us. Strung us on the whole time, each time we met increased price they raised it again. Claimed Rugani didn't want to go. Now he fucking agreed terms over weekend and they say NOW... "Oh, we changed mind, he isnt for sale" Fucking cunts. Its not even that we needed him that badly, its that they wasted all our time bending us over. Top 23-year-old agrees five-year deal with Chelsea FC Daniele Rugaini has agreed personal terms with Chelsea FC, but Juventus are not currently willing to sell the defender, say reports. https://www.thesportreview.com/2018/07/chelsea-fc-news-daniele-rugani-update-latest/ Unionjack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
