  2. Julian Draxler - AM LC - Schalke 04

    Oscar>Isco>goetze>draxler>montilivo>witsel>lamela>lemina. The progression of our Trequartista/midfield. This is a perennial flow chart for Juventus. It's like we are some slob at a bar who hits on the hottest chick but ends taking the heifer home each time.
  3. Juan Guillermo Cuadrado - RWB/RM/LM - Chelsea

    No cuadrado, next...
  4. Julian Draxler - AM LC - Schalke 04

    If we do not get a big name AM (I do not consider draxler one), I think this off season is a failure. From what we have lost to what we have gained and compared to our competitors, we have helped even the playing field. I love Dybala, but outside of him we have regressed to the point we may...
  5. Mario Götze - AM - Bayern Munich

    Everything Bayern is saying could still lead up to a loan... "Younger player" "needs time" "lacks confidence". A loan to a great club, like Juve, where he will start can help address most of their comments. They can save face by defending why the loan makes sense while we swoop to get him. At...
  6. Mario Götze - AM - Bayern Munich

    Agreed
  7. Julian Draxler - AM LC - Schalke 04

    Loan option to buy for Gotze is the compromise. Therefore bayern still has hands on Gotze, he can get playing time he deserves, we immediately upgrade and now have a season to convince him to stay with us. Obviously rather buy outright, but that doesn't seem to be an easy option. This works...
  8. Julian Draxler - AM LC - Schalke 04

    Should make note both Vidal and Gotze not stating for Bayern today in super cup... Crowded midfield, still hoping for a Gotze miracle.
  9. [Friendly] Olympique Marseille 2-0 JUVENTUS (August 1st, 2015)

    Hopefully GotzON. Though we currently aren't selling ourselves well. HOWEVER, I must remind all of you last three years we looked horrible in preseason. Hell I remember when we got LAST place in the Guinness ICC (got slaughtered against LA Galaxy even). We are not a good preseason team...
  10. Julian Draxler - AM LC - Schalke 04

    I'm new to this site.. Just asked GdM team latest and best guess for a trequartista and they said looks to be Draxler. Hopefully there is something behind scenes we/GDM can't see for a more prolific AM. Draxler seems like a decent talent.. But we need a proven stud to organize this new...
  11. Giuseppe Marotta

    Wingbacks/CB have to be a focus next year (along with somehow locking in Pogba and Vidal by a miracle). If we can add two WBs in '16 and resign our midfield, I would be content. We are DEEP up top, and I am assuming we will bring back Berarrdi, but our defense is aging (and getting slower at...
  12. Radja Nainggolan - CM - Cagliari/Roma

    If Vidal leaves, great replacement. I also don't think he will, but Nain would be the quickest/easiest transition replacement. Personally I would like to look for a Lichsteiner replacement... Would need speed and the ability to cross, something we have been lacking on right side.
  13. Sami Khedira - Mid- Real Madrid(freebie)

    How about the fact that Khedira really isn't that good. Forget about everything else, this guy was sitting on the bench because RM could use him in a pinch, and he was OK with that. Above average at best, would look great at Milan... He will not get many minutes at Juve unless a significant...
  14. Sami Khedira - Mid- Real Madrid(freebie)

    Money aside; Khedira = Witsel; expensive player (wages) that bring us no value add other than depth on bench. Khedira would just be cheaper upfront. If wages are less than $2m and he is ok as a 5th midfielder... Or, if we plan on getting him free than loaning him out for revenue, than sure...
  15. Radja Nainggolan - CM - Cagliari/Roma

    I like Alan, think he is a great defender and works his tail off. However, nain is all of that with offensive power. Both are warriors, Nain is clearly the better player which is why he is a hot commodity across Europe. End of the day, Nain will be much more expensive and Roma won't give away...
  16. Paulo Dybala - ST - Palermo

    So many people on this forum keep neglecting to accept player wages. Stop being so hung up on transfer fees, worry more about how much per year we are paying these players. You cannot compare mandzuik, Falcao, cavani, to Dybala. We are talking 3x per/yr wages. That will officially kill any...
  17. Axel Witsel - AM/CM - Zenit

    I'm surprised people are still talking about this. Not only is he not a replacement for Pogba, he wouldn't crack the top 5 in our midfield. Hell I rather have stronger, faster Guarin which isn't saying much (keep pereyra). He reminds me a player you would see at Udinese or Milan, not...
  18. Axel Witsel - AM/CM - Zenit

    Unless he is free and plans on coming off the bench, I see no value in bringing this kid in. Many other players I rather have, doesn't upgrade us over who we already have in midfield. Keep Pereyra, spend the money on eventual Tevez replacement (hopefully Dybala).
  19. Paulo Dybala - ST - Palermo

    Why Dybala makes sense.... Skill set. What has impressed me the most is not his goal total, but his assists at his age. This kid plays incredibly well around the goal, his head is always up when has the ball at his feet. Morata on the other hand, plays with his head down (drives me nuts...
