I really dnt understand Peps obsession here… this man is 33 years, he’s going to cost huge fees and wages and will probably need a season to hit the ground running like most of his signings.. by which time he ll be approaching 79 years. Waste of everyone’s time ???

What do we think?
While Bonucci has been a stalwart for Juventus over the years, making 394 appearances for the Old Lady, scoring 28 goals and providing 10 assists.
However, City fans are right to point out that Bonucci is now 33 years old, and with a current market value of £18 million, it has to be questioned whether City’s money could be better spent elsewhere.
