This meant to be closed or did Mark close it by accident in his drunken outburst?

I like how he's lowering the offer. Maybe Lyon will get nervous and accept before the bid gets even lower. Very cunning from Marotta. :tuttosport:

Traditionally they are. They seem to be struggling at the moment to decide whether to stick to less stories, but being sure of them, or whether to try to compete with the likes of SKY for volume and going in for more gossipy things. Anyway, it's probably true. Juve probably have made a...

They wouldn't want to. There's only so long you can keep a player as good as Suarez if you aren't in the CL, though. Can't see Juve signing him either way. Like when they said Juve were more likely to sign Anelka than Lisandro?

I argued against Suarez as the main CF signing because I thougt he was the wrong type of player for that. He'd be a great signing to be the SS, as he and Llorente would compliment each other very well.

Gomez was injured for pretty much the whole first half of the season. Not entriely sure what the story is with Robben, but I imagine he's been injured.

Well, obviously.

Are they not joint top of Ligue 1 just now?

What's going on with Riquelme?

:disagree: Rocchi already went to Inter.

He's alright. Would be more of a Chiellini sub, given the level of aggression he plays with, though.

Why should Juve focus on the potential of Pogba rather than signing Lampard, but shouldn't sign the player with potential in Doria? I can't really argue about your Doria v Musacchio comment, because I haven't really seen either.

:lazy:

Yeah, I'd put him around £15-18m in the EPL market. Knock a few million off that, though, due to the suspicions about his dodgy knee.

Yup. You can be sure that because of how low the fee was that he'll have insisted on a big wage and a nice signing on fee. His agent will probably also have demanded a couple of million. Before you know it, the transfer, ignoring wages, is probably up near to £12m, which is pretty close to...

:shocked:

Even if they were going to bid for Balotelli, you can be sure the opening offer wouldn't be anything like 35m. Loan with option to buy for 25m would more likely, I'd imagine. That would be far too sensible.

It's only perfect for Fiorentina (the selling club are a party in this, too, you know) if Juve offer them a better deal than anyone else. Llorente-Jovetic. Not a fan of Higuain and would take Jovetic over Giovinco/Vucinic. I doubt it. They'll just be as reluctant to sell to Juve as they...

So who should replace him now that Juve are in a position to get someone better? Who's mercato particularly impressed you in Serie A in the summer?
