Pogba

Just so surprised by him. My original expectations were that he'd currently in his 2nd loan spell with some scrub team Laughing

In the next month he may burst into our Midfield permenantly over an established Italian International and fan favourite at age 20.

Ozil will be the best AM. Gundogan, Thiago and Verratti will be competing for the best CM.

Pobga will become a world class attacking midfielder in short order. And he will become a future ballon D'Or winner as well. His potential is unlimited and with his size and strength, with the right coaching, he could become an unstoppable force for Juventus.

With all this talk about Marchisio losing his starting spot to Pogba, I will counter this by saying Pogba will become a world class attacking midfielder. He has the size, speed, vision and creativity to become the next Zinedine Zidane. He will become an attacking midfielder, it is only a matter of time. Perhaps as early as this year he will be played in this role and flourish. Pirlo was an attacking midfielder before Ancelotti converted him into a world class regista, and so I am confident Conte will do the same thing once he realizes just how good Pogba can be playing behind the strikers.

Pogba and Vidal can become the next version of Zidane and Davids. If so Juventus will see the Champions League trophy being raised very soon. They will become the best midfield duo in Serie A without a question.

As for the Marchisio and Pogba talk, I predict they will coexist and they will play together at the same time. Conte will need to change formations and play the 4-3-1-2. If he does he can potentially have world class players at almost every position:

Buffon

Lichtsteiner Bonucci Chiellini Kolarov

Vidal Pirlo Marchisio

Pogba

Tevez Vucinic

If we play the 4-3-1-2 above with these players we will be unstoppable in Serie A and we will be able to challenge Bayern for the title. I am certain of it. If we can get Kolarov on the left side and play Pogba as an attacking midfielder behind the strikers, with Marchisio back in the lineup we will dominate.

Marchisio and Pogba can coexist. I am counting on it. Please Conte change to the 4-3-1-2 and play Pogba as a trequartista. You will not regret it Mr. Conte...

Goetze says Hello.

For me, it has to be Goetze or Gundogan/Thiago for CM.

Verratti or Pogba

Fabregas . He will be 31 in 5 years and in his peak like Xavi was a few years ago . The rest of the guys are amateurs compared to Fabregas .

There's a lot of things that can happen within 5 years. Players like Thiago, Isco etc could all flop, get injured etc, so it's hard to say.

It could be someone that's unheard of currently, or someone that no one rates currently. 5 years is a long time.
