I see where you are coming from Ricky, Juve plays a pretty unique system as always. Under Allegri, they have played the diamond formation which meant he was on the left side of centre mid yesterday.

However, you also gotta remember he was trained in CM since young, in France and in Manchester. He is a natural there, been playing CM for all of France's age group. He's been outstanding for France as well.

It won't take much for him to adapt, for someone of his talent.

He's a CM that can play wide, not vice versa.

Marca reporting that Bartomeu has picked his signing as the focal point of his reelection campaign.

The same Barca who can't sign players? The rumor is that he will be part of the campaign but he must stay put in Juve until the Barca transfer ban is lifted. Isn't that tapping up? I should be a football journo

We should offer Juventus £50m plus Jack Wilshere for Paul Pogba.

Buy him and loan him back.

It's a registration ban, not a ban on buying players.

I wonder if So'ton would take Wilshere for Schneiderlin straight up, and whether we could get Wilshere to agree to that as well.  Prob not.  I'd do that in a heartbeat, though.

I reckon we should see if Newcastle would be willing to give us Jack Colback in exchange for Wilshere.

Nah let's just offer Wilshere out for free. After all, there are at least 30 better CMs than him in the PL alone.

😆 that is obviously a pisstake. At least I hope it is...

I wouldn't bank on it 🙂
"Sell Wilshere" is pre-trending right now.

Wilshere's not even in the top 30 Jack's in the league.

If they offered us Paul Dummett as well I'd drive Wilshere to Newcastle myself.

i know this post is a piss take, but tolly sentiment has swung against jack, that's for sure.

pogba is a super talent, but he's not really going fix our problems, and can be as inconsistent and frustrating as our own midfielders at times

😆 @ Newcastle offering us Paul Dummett.

Might as well hope for a Flamini-Pogba straight swap.

Wilshere wouldn't take that deal although it would likely be good for his development. It would be a good trade for both teams though. They'd get a 'leader' in Wilshere. We'd get our partner for Coq

Good midfield that. Can really take control with Coq and Schliderin.

I see what you did there...

Inverse the diamond, push Ozil to RW, get a LB that knows how to attack, and a stay at home RB.

-----Coquelin-----
--Ramsey--Pogba--
Ozil--Giroud--Alexis

High press against the scrub teams, and vs the big uns instruct Ramsey/Pogba to drop 20 yards deeper than usual to create an effective shield with the stamina/physicality to easily break.

Do it Wenga.
