    Summer mercato thread 2022-23 season

    It’sa sad state of affairs. Aside from the injured Pogba and maybe Locatelli, all of our senior midfielders are just so average with many overpaid. We have 2 or 3 promising young players where 2 of them will leave on loan because we cannot offload enough senior players and because the coach...

    Memphis Depay - SS/ST - Barcelona

    Isn’t that more than what Vlahovic is getting paid. Ridiculous to pay that for someone who is not an automatic starter.

    Memphis Depay - SS/ST - Barcelona

    My understanding was that we agreed in principle with the player before he had his contract terminated. As it turns out he wants more. This could be a dangerous strategy for him as he could end up with less (look at Dybala's situation). Of course it is always possible that an EPL side offers...

    Nicolò Zaniolo - AM RC - Galatasaray

    GDS has Zaniolo on the bench in their probable formation this weekend. Not sure that means anything though

    Summer mercato thread 2022-23 season

    I will wait until after deadline day to rate this mercato. Overall I am not sure the squad is strong enough to win the league. If all our players return from injury and stay fit then we might have an outside chance. But our track record on injuries suggests otherwise. The one good thing is...

    So basically….. Pellegrini loaned out, Kostic in (De Sciglio left back sub to Sandro) Rabiot out, Parades in Kean loaned out, Depay in. Arthur loaned out, Fagioli kept Only maybe missing piece is a proper left footed let centre back / left back I guess

    Build/Predict Your Juve

    Given our current squad and injuries and with the arrival of Kostic, I think a 352 makes the most sense. A defence with Danilo, Bonucci and Bremer sends more solid with Cuad and Kostic as wing backs

    Adrien Rabiot

    Is Parades an upgrade on Rabiot? (Yes I know they have different characteristics etc)

    Arthur

    Honestly if we have to pay 80% off his salary and still stomach the depreciation, we might as well keep him for another year. He is still good at keeping the ball (less good at doing something with it)

    Massimiliano Allegri

    I’m afraid you might be right

    Massimiliano Allegri

    Since Allegri’s return, I don’t ever remember being happy with the way this team has played both from a technical/tactical level and from a mentality point of view. Even when we win matches in the league against average opposition, we frequently have fewer shots on goal and lower possession. We...

    [Serie A] Juventus 3-0 Sassuolo [August 15th, 2022]

    I guess we will still be jet lagged and Sass are ahead of us in preparation. New players need time to integrate. Still some positives from this…. We just need to work hard and improve. No…. The new injury to XYZ has nothing to do with our training methods. Expect these excuses from Allegri...

    Summer mercato thread 2022-23 season

    I fear we are going to have a very difficult start to the season just like last year. Our midfield still looks bad and we have no width. They need to get cracking in the transfer window.

    I don’t know much about Paredes. Is he really that bad?

    'Murica!

    If China moved on Taiwan it would be suicide. It would send them back decades and result in the deaths of millions of Chinese. They would be stupid to do it. But their leadership keeps making mistakes so who knows. My guess is they will only make a move once it becomes obvious to people in...

    Summer mercato thread 2022-23 season

    The biggest weakness is still our midfield in my view especially since Pogba will be out for much of the season. Fagioli should be kept but we cannot expect him to be a protagonist in his first full season. Every time I watch this team play including pre season, we always seem to struggle to...
