Might just be something to do with Ogbonna being balanced and facing the right direction at the point he had to start sprinting...

So... Two minutes until the 1am deadline and still no confirmation of Falcao or Welbeck.

Balotelli, though he's no big loss.

Same reason they signed Di Maria. They are just signing whatever big names they can rather than operating to anything resembling a coherent plan.

Didn't see the game, though I saw Pinilla's goal. What's the point of being a giant if you aren't even going to dominate in the air? :lol2:

Benatia also acted poorly though the summer. Given that he was hanging around at Udinese and not really threatening to get a big move anywhere until Roma signed him, I don't think it would have been unreasonable for him to sign the new contract with the wage rise, but on the basis that he'd...

That sort of statement is always great. I remember Alex Ferguson saying Charlie Adam's corners were worth £10m, shortly before Liverpool signed him for about £8m. Ferguson was right: his corners were great and the rest of his game was probably worth about -£2m.

Have you seen much of that Koulibaly that Napoli have signed? He looks a really bad player fro what I've seen of him.

A poor man's Diakite. :D

Quiet deadline day for Aberdeen. Knew we weren't going to get our main target early on when Inverness charmingly posted on twitter that Hell would freeze over before they'd sell to us. So we'll wait and take him off them for nothing next summer. Supposedly, after selling McArthur to Palace...

Hard to say when he hasn't moved, so we don't know the terms he would have been available on. And if no-one came in with an offer for any of Juve's current centre-halves, I don't suppose signing him was going to be an option, regardless of the terms of the deal.

Decent enough mercato. Kept key players. Added some solid players who will give tactical flexibility as well as good depth. Signed a couple of interesting youngsters. Don't feel that there were any glaring opportunites that Juve failed to capitalise on. In terms of squad numbers, I'd say...

Surprised no-one has suggested hanging the DJ, with reference to De Ceglie...

What? I thought Morata was going to be back in Madrid within five minutes of him scoring his first goal for Juve.

He's still at Roma picking up a huge wage, isn't he? Does Sabatini not know how to sell?

Take your pick of which D'Amico player you want to link with which club: http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/pdp-s-r-l-pasqualin-d-rsquo-amico-partners/beraterfirma/berater/348

'Fiorentina level' is pretty good just now.

I'm not entirely sure because I don't know what Juve's plans are in terms of systems this season. I also haven't seen Coman play yet and I don't know if Pepe still has anything left to offer. Wouldn't have been doing anything big. Might have looked into the possibility of letting Pepe leave...

Did he? I haven't really been paying attention.
