To me it looks like Dybala is the odd man out, but we still don't know what's gonna happen with Higuain and Icardi

Dybala's agent hinted at a move last year since he's been frozen out. Not sure if/where Sarri is going to play him. He might need force a move if that shyt continues

Can't be an elite player scoring 5 goals a season

I haven't watched any Juve friendlies so far so I don't know how they lined up. But Bernardeschi has been talking about wanting to stick to being RW. Sarri said he'll start off playing Ronaldo on the left (lets see how long that lasts) and said he could use Dybala as a false 9.

To me it looks like Dybala is the odd man out, but we still don't know what's gonna happen with Higuain and Icardi :manny:

I know Bernardeschi prefers the RW, but if they switch to a 2 man attack, his ability to play as a SS, works well with C dot who will stay left (free role) and Bernardeschi stays on his preferred side of the pitch.

Sarri is a 4312 man at heart. It was the Napoli players that made him switch to 433. And Juve have the players to switch to 4312 or play a hybrid false 9 version of it under Sarri.

Sarri went on to explain his plans for Ronaldo against Inter and across the course of this season, claiming that he will use him coming off the left hand side to allow Paulo Dybala to play through the middle.

“We’ll use him (Ronaldo) mainly as a forward on the left wing, knowing that he loves to shoot. He must make the difference," said Sarri.

“I think Dybala can play as a false nine quite comfortably.

“We can also set up the attack slightly differently, with the 4-3-1-2 and Dybala playing on the right of a front two

I did see Piguain linked with Roma and Dybala has been linked with United all summer.
