Juventus are ready to offer Morocco centre-back Medhi Benatia, 31, to Arsenal as part of the deal that would see Wales midfielder Aaron Ramsey, 28, moving the other way. (Gazzetta dello Sport, via Metro)


They are getting Ramsey for free. No need for them to give us Benatia

First we had a good attack with RVP and Adebayor. Then we took ages getting the defence good where we had Koscielny and Mertersacker playing well but the attack was the problem. We took time getting the attack good with Aubameyang and Lacazette and now the defence is the problem.

By the time now the defence is sorted, we could end up having to replace the attack again. I don't like how we go in circles.

Exactly.

We had van Persie, Cesc, Rosicky, Hleb, Adebayor, and Eduardo at one point. But had an abysmal defense. Then, we moved to van Persie, Cesc, Arshavin, Nasri, Rosicky, and an energetic Walcott, alongside a functional DM in Song, but again had a worse defense than before.

Following this we finally had a stable back four with Sagna/Bellerín, Merts, Koscielny, and Monreal, alongside two world class players in Ozil and Alexis, but an underwhelming choice of wingers and a CF.

We were a striker away from winning the league in 13/14 and 15/16. God.

Liverpool spent so wisely on Salah and Mane. Meanwhile, we bought Mustafi and Xhaka for the same prices. Jesus wept.

Hope we buy a winger in the summer and get riess going aswell. Annoyed that united have found serviceable players like rashford lingaard whilst we have dudes come thru on attack for some time now. Nelson does look like he's competent

Juventus are willing to sell Medhi Benatia this month, claims Calciomercato.

Benatia is unhappy with his lack of game time under Massimiliano Allegri, and talks have taken place between his agent and the club.

Arsenal have shown an interest in the Morrocon along with Schalke and Marseille.

Too old and honestly not that great. Also hasn't played much at all for Juve even though he signed in summer '17.
