    With the bailouts in the French industry we might have a bigger budget than before. Besides, from a tactical standpoint, there is no better time to invest than now. Likelyhood of a lightning striking again and insane demand for entertainment. Probably the last market where a 100Mils gets you a...

    If Arthur doesn't want to be here - fine. Barca are crumbling down - fire coach number 15 for the last 2-3 years or risk loosing Messi. Even better keep them both for a great team chemistry.

    I have no problem with him getting a deserved salary. But I would be cautious doing another Emre Can or Rabiot transfer. Sure, Pjanic is done here, much older and on a higher salary... but we are not a team fighting for a trophy in the next few years. He is coming in one of the best 5 teams in...

    Arthur probably wants some Barca loyalty bonuses, before he exits the scene. Since he won't get transfer fees - and he was on a comparatively lower salary with massive bonuses + increase. Hopefully we won't try to reel him in with massive wages and italian taxes.

    How about we leave Pogba at United so he can collect all those titles and play DLP, eventually? He would love it - he said so in France, no? Hmmm ...let's see Mourinho played him as a cancer, Ole doesn't play him and Deschamps used him as an DLP because France had NO capable DLPs. But Pogba has...

    @Bananaman RE: United are expected to post record LOSSES. My bad. Their CEO prepared the investors. Regarding Sancho and Costa - maybe you don't get the irony, so I will spell it out - its been said tongue in cheek. But united has mostly right footed players with little experience. I doubt...

    To some people your comments make it seem that you are. Perhaps we are having our Juventus bias. Let me explain why is it beyond absurd to me: 1. Pogba is one bad(average United) season from being a less than 50M player. His price tag was based on his performances with Juve alone and even we...

    This is beyond absurd. Pogba is a 16M per year liability on salary alone, nevermind the initial 100+M investment. United wants to renew a contract/sign another top player - well if they can pay a benched player 16M, surely they can do similar for a starter. Great place for negotiations. He has 2...

    Fine by me, but I don't see even them doing something that crazy, unless there is something very shady here. I agree, but someone has to be benched. There is always the possibility of Icunti being the swap guy. I don't care much for Neymar, but his contract is coming to an end and so it seems...

    PSG wants C.Ronaldo? Their pressident was full of praise and bullish about their chance to sign him... The only reason I see Andrea accepting this one is if we have Mbappe or Neymar promised in return. But maybe we need cash for something else...

    Giorgio Chiellini - Director of Football Strategy

    The only one that can have a real issue with Chiellini is Juventus FC. If they were planning to hire those guys in the first place and now it's complicated. Teammates can blame him for team-related performances only: "Now, that you've offended Balo he will start crying throughout the rest of...

    'Sacrificing' Demiral is a terrible idea, even if you hate the guy for a healthy reason. He will either fully recover or go out of the backdoor, after such an injury. The team with most knowledge about all this is supposed to be the seller in this great deal? o_O Whoever we approach would be...

    The question is how many midfielders we can sell. Apart from Bentacur - everyone else is on the chopping block.

    Some of the comments here are really overrating the situation with Rabiot. Yes, he has a good contract, but overall he is much more transferable than people talk. He wants to be an international player and has a reasonable career then he will play ball with Juventus. Then there is always the...

    As if that makes any difference. Nonsense. It would be a shrewd investment in a multi-functional, title-winning top player with decades of future returns. He could be a model, coach and a mascot - nevermind all those 'don't try even in training' youtube videos. 100M is the bargain of the...

    Pjanic - Arthur swap is very interesting. Pogba coming back is good too - I guess Douglas Costa is not needed with Kulusevski arriving in the summer. Pjanic, Khedira, Matuidi ... are we offloading other midfielders too? Selling BonBon for lots of cash would be perfect for both sides(he can...

    Wanda can fuck her way up to a legendary status in the footballing world here. First replace Giorgina, then Wanda Agnelli sounds better for a settled life, right? She could chair Juventus or the ECA - so that the hubby can have some free time with her kinder-garden.

    Moise Kean

    Maybe welcomed, if he is capable of growing up. Though honestly and mostly for his sake - he is better somewhere where he would be a starter. The responsibility of a starting place would help him man up imho. Its refreshing to see he forgot the intolerable racism in Italy pretty fast though...

    I am starting to wonder what is Dybala's best position. Granted he ain't ADP, but I don't remember even him having much sway over his partners, nevermind the formation. Top players adapt and fit in any formation. (IMHO)Dybala is best coming from the right, but doesn't have the stamina to man...
