White - Saliba - Gabriel - Calafiori
I don’t think we’ve had a strong defence on paper in the clubs history. Maybe only the Dixon-Bould-Adams-Winterburn.
You rate Riccardo highly, @SRCJJ?
Extremely. Plays like a Nesta-Maldini hybrid lol
Add Timber and Tomiyasu and the versatility of White and Calafiori and we are covered basically everywhere.
Need to rest Saliba? White to RCB and Timber to RB. Need to rest big Gabi? Calafiori to LCB and Timber to LB. Somebody hurt and somebody else needs to come out? Bring Tomiyasu into the mix.
Zinchenko and Kiwior binned? Yes please
I’m happy to keep Zinchenko.
White (RB/CB)
Tomiyasu (RB/CB/LB)
Saliba (CB)
Gabriel (CB)
Calafiori (LB/CB)
Zinchenko (LB)
The only reason I remain skeptical about this is because Juventus have the advantage being historically an Italian giant and Motta has experience managing Calafiori and he has a familiarity of playing in his system.
only he knows Juventus is not going to challenge anything serious in the near future.
I had them challenging last season but that didn’t pan out well. Motta has proven to be quite good at Bologna.
Whether that translates at a big club we’ll see but it should be exciting times for Juve fans to see something different.
To me, if Juve aren’t getting him it’s because they’ve been priced out of a move, which isn’t common. They do usually find a way. I do wonder if perhaps they’re also not that keen on Calafiori for now. They seem to be focusing on recruiting midfielders at the moment.
And Timber
How could I forget about him lol
To me, if Juve aren’t getting him it’s because they’ve been priced out of a move, which isn’t common.
Bologna have already said they wouldn’t sell to Juventus because they’re angry they took Motta.
I’d rather him go to Inter and develop his partnership with Bastoni. As I’ve said earlier we’ve got more pressing positions to attend to.
Here you go @GC-Maniac ,a proper journalist mirroring my own sentiments
Sold please
Wow! Yes please, Tavares, Tierney, Zinny and even Kiwior can all go to facilitate this. White, Timber, Tomi and Calafiori as ful back options who can all play cb would be insane.
Very encouraging that the rumours for Calafiori have firmed up today. Looks like a quality player with huge potential. Great to be linked to young players of this quality.
My only question is where do Arsenal see his long term future - at LB? or LCB?
Feels like Kiwior makes way for Calafiori if we signed him. What does this mean for our pursuant of Hato?
When was the last time we had an Italian? Amazing he wants to come, really shows what a pull we have noa.
We have one…Jorginho???
