So apparently he is our biggest target and there is strangely very few pages on this forum.

The more I think about it, the more I think the strategy is to keep Soule` (unless a huge >40m offer comes through) and loan someone like Sancho while getting hopefully north of 25m for Chiesa. The reason is that Sancho is technically more adept at Motta's style number 1, and number 2, if we...

Seems like the only concrete offer is from Roma which is sub optimal for Juventus (low transfer fee) and Chiesa (wants to play champions league). Best outcome for both parties would be a foreign club playing in the champions league willing to pay closer to 30m. The third option would be for...

He Is better than Scamacca

I’m happy about this transfer on many levels. Good to get what we got for him so we can reinvest but also I have a gut feeling he can do well for them. Despite his short comings an in form Kean would have been much better than Scamacca or Retegui for the Azzuri. I know, it’s not necessarily...

Hmmmm is Allianz or shirt sponsor now?

Yeh I agree. To be fair there are not many world class Italians to choose from. Was hoping for Calafiori but that’s clearly over.

Last season he was played as a support striker. Not effective in that position. Much better as a winger. Had that opportunity with Italy but was limited by his teammates to be fair. Hard to know whether he still has it in that position. After his struggles he wants more money which is...

Spain will win this tournament

Danilo and Bremner would start in that line up

I highly doubt Motta will play a back 3.

Agree. Luiz-Thuram-Koopmeiners is a big upgrade from Locatelli-Rabiot-McKennie

No rush on Miretti. If we loan him out we can wait until last minute. My gut feel is that he will fit into Motta’s system better than under Allegri.

Sounds like we are at least progressing on this one

It is what it is. If Bologna refuses to negotiate with Juventus and if Calafiori doesn’t push for it…then there is not much Juventus can do. The saddest part is that he is probably the best young Italian defender and despite his preferences, he will end up in the premier league. No point...

I think this explains to some degree why Giuntoli is choosing now to revolutionise the squad with a new coach. We should book a few plusvulenzas to help mitigate. Our revenues should improve with champions league and club World Cup. Key concern is sponsorship though. Ideally we need a 40mpa...

Fagioli is still a great sub to have for the double pivot. I expect Nonge will get promoted to the senior squad too. Koop may not have a direct sub except Adzic…. But if Koop is not available, then we would probably revert to 433. If we get Sancho he is capable of playing anywhere behind...

Who is the better player? Sancho or Chiesa?

I guess that is second choice to Calafiori

So which one is which? My guess is that the second one is Thuram. Bottom line is that Thuram is better with the ball while Rabiot is stronger in the tackle and superior in the air. Thuram seems to fit Motta’s style better
