Just an outstanding signing. I doubt even he can believe how well it’s gone.
Yeah agree here - was clear he was going to shoot then saw Son and hesitated. Fair enough, it happens, and it would not normally.
Made up for it soon after!
I had no idea tbh, and given our recent transfer history, I wasn't brimming with confidence.
He's been fucking sensational to be fair to the lad, and it looks as though he's popular with both the fans, and the team.
Me andDeuterz and a few others have noted his lack of pace tbf.
More specifically his lack of acceleration and agility. He has a very languid style of play compared to most wingers and it can be a hinderance at times.
Well it's not a hinderance because look at his performances. His positioning and reading of the game more than make up for not being pacy.
Not every player can or should be a speed merchant.
Can we find any more crap Juve have down the back of the sofa? They must be a hell of a side...
I really don’t think we’d have got 4th if it had been Traore instead of Kulu
Absolutely not.
There is anger but not towards him who hopes for a bright future (and present) but for how Juventus fainted with CR7 and then had to sell valuable pieces such as Kulusevski, Romero, Bentancur in the name of the balance sheet having to keep the crap Ramsey and the mediocre Rabiot just because their salaries are too high. As a Juventus fan, I am happy to see that in January by taking our players you did not receive a rip-off but important players, especially the Swede.
I think lack of acceleration is fair.Me and

I've yet to see anyone really out pace him.
See his chance yesterday, 2 defenders, a keeper and he beat all 3 to the ball.
bentancur and especially kulusevsky played so so badly this year with allegri (as many other players).
imo you're problem is allegri not the players (I follow serie A as my second league after EPL)
A world class in the making
Gave me a new respect to the club Juve and the Serie A to have a player like him on the bench. Juve should be winning the CL every other year
The things that this confident young footballer will pick up playing with likes of Kane and Son under Conte would be immense.
Can't wait to see what he could do in a full season

Allegri had built a Juventus that was a battleship capable of playing two CL finals and remaining firmly among the top 8 teams in Europe. When the executives bought CR7 (financial bloodbath) and then moved on to Sarri and Pirlo, there was a general involution. Allegri will not offer a sparkling football but the confusion created by the Sarri-bal was evident. The club has staked everything this year on the minimum goal of fourth place to collect the resources necessary to rebuild. Bentancur and Kulusevski were sacrificed (like Romero) for the budget trying to rebuild on De Light, Chiesa, Locatelli, Vlahovic etc.
I had never heard of him so I had no idea what to expect.
Personally, I think this is the best way to act when you see a load of faceless strangers online getting excessively excited/upset about signings.
I was led to believe we were incredibly lucky to have signed Erik Lamela and Tanguy Ndombele. That they were going to be absolutely huge and that it's incredible they came to Spurs instead of the best clubs in the world.
I quite happily admit I am fairly insular. I watch Spurs and occasionally the odd non Spurs PL match. Outside of that, I have no idea who most of the players we are linked to are.
And I ignore most of the pant wetters on here when they talk about them.
I am sure a lot went on about CR7 and his big move but I bet it didn't help the team in the end. CR 7 looks good and has had his years but basically is going to be toxic to the team chemistry wherever he goes
Agree. He’s fast enough and strong enough to outpace a man and get in on goal
no. conte did
that was only an advice, if you'll continue with allegri good for you, good luck
