The performance on the pitch was lackluster, the record was disappointing, the management was chaotic... Even with the current break in the national team, Juventus fans have not been able to calm down. But the club's crisis has been temporarily interrupted, giving the outside world a look at how the Bianconeri have worked in the transfer market this summer.
While it's too early to tell who's the successful signings and who's the losing deals, based on the early season performances, we can roughly rank Juve's new signings.
Note: Pogba has not yet played due to injury after joining the franchise and is not included in this performance evaluation.
(6) Federico Garty
For the young defender, the recent defeat against Monza was a very bad performance. While losing was certainly not entirely his fault, his inability to control his opponents in the game was also a major reason.
Earlier against Spezia, his performance was exciting, but the awkward scenes from the away to Brianza against Monza proved that the Serie A rookie needs more experience.
(5) Philip Costic
The Serbian winger has delivered several assists so far this season, including a beautiful cross for McKenny in the Champions League against Paris Saint-Germain.
Still, Costic's overall performance remains lackluster, a microcosm of the Bianconeri's presence on the pitch this season.
(4) Ingres Di Maria
The Argentine star has made a total of 5 appearances for the Bianconeri so far, because of injury problems "Angel" has not yet played for Juve, and the league against Monza is to get a red card in the first half and return to the dressing room early.
Di Maria's performance on the field also has a sharp contrast: his debut against Sassuolo he contributed one goal and one assist; Against Monza, the Argentine, who returned to the starting lineup, reacted stupidly, leaving the team with 10 men left in the first half, leaving his teammates at a numerical disadvantage. Next, he will be suspended for two more rounds.
(3) Leandro Paredes
The former Paris Saint-Germain midfielder has not played well in Juventus' first few games, even making an embarrassing debut with a handball in the penalty area. Still, Paredes is firmly in the starting lineup, which is enough to illustrate the Bianconeri's lack of traits in the middle place.
The 28-year-old Argentine, Juve's long-sought midfield playmaker, has shown some flashpoints, but there is still a lot to improve.
(2) Grayson-Bremer
The Brazil newcomer has yet to perform the kind of performance he did last season as he was named Serie A's best defender, but the former Torino player's performance at the back, if not at times, is stable enough.
The 25-year-old Bremer firmly occupies the main position under Allegri and has become a member of the team's backbone since he first arrived.
(1) Arkadiusz-Milik
While fans and observers alike have decided that the Polish is just a substitute for Vlahovic, Milik has quickly become a favorite of Juve fans based on his early season.
Since joining Marseille on loan, Milik has scored three goals for Juve. Sadly, the goal against Salernitana was cancelled due to a misjudgment by VAR, who also missed the league against Monza after receiving a red card due to a stripping celebration.
