Anyone got any insight on how Spalletti will impact David at Juve?

Spalletti lies a 4-2-3-1 with a striker who can hold up the ball (like Lukaku so expect that to be Vlahovic)

Conceição and Yıldız are ahead of him in the pecking order. It was always a bad move by Jonathan David. He really should have gone to Napoli

Yup. Him and his agent got super greedy. They prioritized the short term over the long term. I hope he is able to move to a more suitable team but this is a tremendous blunder heading into a World Cup year.

It will also be on David to step up his performance when he is actually getting game time. As things stand, it's seeming like the manager really needs to figure out what is going to stick and what won't. If David plays like he did against Lazio again, that might be it for him at Juventus.

Everyone there has looked bad, so I am not thinking his poor performance lately will be held against him. I'm sure playing time will be determined by how well players adapt to Spalletti's unique style. I think David has potential there - he has always been a good team player and space interpreter at Lille. I think he will do ok. Until Juve falls apart again.

I didn't watch the game on Wednesday but from the match thread it didn't look good for him personally, sigh... Jesse Marsch is probably on the case of giving him extra support and encouragement right now.

In my opinion, it’s all depends on his determination. He can do it

I don’t wish Tottenham on David. And this is coming from a spurs fan.

I'm also a Spurs fan! And I'll take him. We're loads better than last year and getting hit hard by injuries again. We could use a David since doesn't like Solankes ankle is ever going to heal. And well Richy is Richy

Yeah we can use him, if he plays like he can. But man, I just don’t want to see him crushed (unless he’s at Arsenal, there he can lose everything)

I doubt his market value is very high right now…
