There's more to it than that. He's great as a target man, but few teams will actually play in a fashion that makes use of that ability. Juve did to some extent under Conte, with the way they looked to get in to the forwards quickly and get midfielders looking for lay-off or flick-ons, but...

He's shown repeatedly through he career that he is very good if used correctly.

It's not modern football - players have always been sold. Fans of Juve just get pissy when this sort of transfer happens because they are accustomed to being the club taking the best players from other clubs instead of losing one themselves.

When BVB were strong they always had Bender or Kehl in midfield with either Sahin or Gundogan.

Well he played for two clubs before he joined Juve so I'm sure you could find some pictures if you can't imagine it.

Thought Salah was more likely to go to Roma.

What do you suppose Inter will do with their slice of the Draxler transfer fee once Schalke sign Shaqiri?

Llorente has already had a taste of spending an extended period of not playing at all from when Athletic Bilbao froze him out. I didn't get the impression that he found that experience terribly enjoyable.

Followed Mickelson in the morning and then Spieth/Day in the afternoon. Mickelson was going very strongly (-6 after 16) only to go and do this: He made 7 and that finished him. Yeah, was hoping at least one of them would at least get into the playoff. When Spieth holed his...

Nice. What was the problem/fix? I haven't carried a driver in years because it did me more harm than good. Just belt my 3-wood instead. Train ticket booked to head down to St Andrews tomorrow. Should get on the course for about 1030. I fancy following Mickelson for most of his round...

Maybe adidas will ask him to add a third stripe.

Are these headlines/stories in the papers not just based on the quotes from Goetze that appeared today?

Bah. I'd be there to watch Aberdeen's Paul Lawrie going his second Open win.

Fun outing to St Andrews today: Got to the car park for 9am, by which time play had already been suspended for over an hour. Sat around for a couple of hours waiting to see how conditions developed and for updates from the R&A. Realised there wasn't going to be enough play to justify hanging...

No Matri any more. It'll primarily be Mandzukic, Morata and Dybala competing for two starting spots, I'd imagine.

I don't remember this many people having significant knowledge of Vidal - never mind thinking very highly of him - at the point Juve were signing him.

I hope you typed that with a French accent.
