I don't think we can poach guys like Herrera, Matic, Rakitic. Their clubs simply won't let them go, and we are not stupid enough to offer absurd salaries to make them force the leave. Gotta sign a really great 24/26 ysh midfielder from markets like France or Germany, for 40M+ if necessary...

Yep. We absolutely can afford a 50M WC midfielder now. Marotta must get this one right to finish the process of transitioning without our main player of the past 2 or 3 years.

OK, onto the next one. Pogba was one of the best midfielders I've ever seen play, but if his mind is out and money is right, let him go. Now sign a WC midfielder who can provide some physicality. Hopefully around 24/26 yrs old. If Marotta nails this one, the Pogba replacement couldn't be...

Brazilian media reporting that the player's family asked for some days to think about it and they are pending towards rejecting the offer. They want their 40%. So probably it won't happen.

Apparently not.

Just pay the man, he's earned every bit of it.

Yep, his athletic and raw skill level is excellent. We have yet to see how he matures and develops positioning/football IQ/aggressiveness control/passing. But the skillset is definitely there.

If Mandzukic wants to stay, ok. Sell Zaza. But NOT to an Italian team.

Keep Pereyra. Get rid of mainly Hernanes, but also of Asamoah and Sturaro.

He is soooo leaving. You just can't put candy on Raiola's mouth and take it away. The man is probably threateniing the lives of Marotta and Paratici. I think in the end they split the comission and Juve gets 110M.

So, getting a high profile dynamic/physical box to box CM who can offer technique while still play DM when Marchisio is out would be a nearly perfect replacement of Pogba. There's still 1% of chance Pogba doesn't leave - that's if they can't agree on Raiola's fee. But I'm sure they will come...

THIS. Just do the math. There's a 99% chance Pogba is gone. Marotta did the right way: to fill in for his departure, he used the money to improve the team in one of the few starting positions it was possible (starting RB - Dani Alves and starting CF - Higuain), while also improving much...

God damn, this guy's rumours still around. Let him go to Inter already.

I agree. A talented dynamic midfielder like Bazoer and an experienced physical DM like Matic. Khedira is injured all the time, and we don't really know how Marchisio will come back. He can lose a chunk of his athleticism, and if it happens, he wouldn't be undisputed starting material...

I agree. Have the feeling he can be a bit of an Italian phenom, one and done player like Verratti and like Berardi could have been, if he had balls.

Biggest source in Brazil, globoesporte, says that both club and player are very likely to accept the 20M offer. Gabriel is a decent investment, it's unlikely he becomes a complete bust and loses all his value. He can be useful to play pretty much all positions upfront, but none of them in a...

One think to consider is that I believe Marotta was willing to pay till 30M to keep Morata. That would make an effective cost of 60M, obviously, because we would give up getting 30M for him. So when it comes to the fees, the board is actually willing to spend Morata + 30M for Higuain. When you...

While he hasn't signed yet, I can still say: Higuain is a prick. Hate that guy. For 90M you can sign basically any player of the world bar Messi, Ronaldo, Neymar and 3 or 4 others. The problem is that you still have to convince the player. The likes of James Rodriguez and Griezzmann wouldn't...

90M for a 28yr old fat choker... hmm... Our midfield is pretty thin now.

This is fucking ridiculous. Can't believe Marotta can be this stupid.
