Well you can't just discard the price like 'the only think bad about him'. First of all it's not true and second of all his price is a major sticking point. You can't get paid like the best in the world and get treated like we're just happy to have you, congrats you're better than Morata and...
I'm pretty sure I do.
OUT: Buffon, Lichtsteiner, Asamoah, Caldara, Higuain - average age 31.4
IN: Perin, Cancelo, Can, Spinazzola, Bonucci, Ronaldo - average age 27
To what? Having the best team in a decade? Rejuvenating and improving the squad at the same time? Keeping all our best players while improving? Literally everything anyone ever wanted out of this board?

Domestically Papu Gomez is a top player. Internationally he is a big...
No, Higuain is not a top player. Caldara is not a top player - yet. Bonucci is a top player at Juventus - he showed that.
It's not true that we don't need Bonucci or someone of his qualities. It's why we've been on De Ligt all summer, a younger Bonucci. We need a CB who can pass and be...
Emotions aside, this makes sense for both clubs. They get a top talent, we get a top player.
Bonucci won't move the needle defensively, but he will offensively. Lacking an extra playmaker in defense along with bad FB play killed us last year. We addressed all those issues with this move +...
It's really simple. In Serie A he has been mostly a success, in CL mostly a failure. And we didn't pay 90 million for him for Serie A. It's pretty clear.
Also, we're not selling him only because of CR. He was on his way out even before with Icardi rumors, even Lewandowski etc. It was clear we...
Seems to me Bonucci wants out of the sinking ship and this is a perfect opportunity for his agent to leak some shit and perfect opportunity for us to put pressure on Sarri for Higuain. Higuain and Bonucci to Chelsea - Rugani and Caldara stay - ideal scenario.
Reliable guru from VS said last...
He will absolutely play this year, especially if Sandro leaves and he will be very important to the team if he can recover quickly like Florenzi and Insigne have done. Max loves versatile players like him.
Nothing on either of them. Agresti now says we're waiting for official offers for Higuain with Chelsea in pole, Milan also interested. We want 65 million.
@Mark, from kaedes:
- Godin, veeeery close
- Benatia will be sold to make space for him
- We don't want to sell Rugani, but let's see what he thinks when Chelsea offer comes in
- Story that Bonucci wants to come back is true, but doesn't mean we want him
- Golovin further and further away...
No, it would be huge. I can't remember last time he made a mistake and cost his team. If we had him instead of Benatia at Bernabeu that penalty never happens.

Juventus' Bonucci ofc.
Godin is the most consistent, error free CB in the world. You can argue Chiellini, Bonucci, Ramos, Varane at their best are better as players, but speaking purely as a CB Godin is no.1 for 6-7 years now.
That is simply not true. He lacks continuity, a little more dirtiness and assertiveness, but any big game he played here he was fantastic.
Apparently, Zizou is coming also. He'll be a sporting director and work closely with Paratici.
I believe Rugani rumors have always been more about media linking every possible ex Sarri player or Napoli target with him than actual substance. I don't think he's leaving and I don't think Allegri wants to fiddle with defense 2nd year in a row.
I think we'll pretty much stay put at this...
