He's really improved this year. But he wants to play immediately... hence his interest in Liverpool. I think the Juve depth chart turns him off unless there's a promise made thay is similar to the one made to Pogba.

If he's a CB we really could use him fairly regularly.

I mean, we play 3 CB's and don't have huge depth there. At least not on the bench (We have a fair few young ones loaned out)

We would probably be better off if we could give our back 3 more resting time.
