Donkey, but useful because of his tenacity. Doesn't suit a Roma or Spalletti team, for me.

Well I figure that Barzagli will renew his contract for a year and then possibly retire and it doesnt look like we intend on renewing Caceres contract, so that would leave is with Chiellini, Bonucci and Rugani. Unless we start promoting some youth who do we go after? Im just speculating, we will probBly find some unknown cb whos great.
Please tell me I'm overreacting 
D) about Pogba probably going to Real now that Zidance is in charge.
I don't think there is any chance of us keeping him.

We need to do well in the CL this year. If we bow out early that will complicate it for sure. Pogba seems like a smart guy so whichever move he makes it will be about winning silverware rather than money (or a combination of both). He never struck me as the kind of guy only looking to fill his pockets. IF we do well in the CL this year again our finances will grow and hopefully give us more wiggle room for a salary cap increase.

Yeah I know. It's a fairy tale that will end eventually.

If he was only in it to fill his pockets he would have forced his way out already. Despite the young age and flashy exterior, this guy is clearly quite mature, patient and meticolous professional with everything that has to do with his career. And defenitely someone who is completely thriving with us so far. Whenever he decides to move on, I wont blame him at all. Just enjoy having him aslong as possible.
He is thriving with us, that's for sure. And despite is extremely crafty agent, we have done well keeping him here. Honestly though, for him and Raiola I think staying here was a no brainer to grow into the player he is and is becoming. Zidane knows Pogba is a gem. Will be fascinating to see how this evolves. If we we turn down a 100m off this summer and Pogba wants to stay, you know Raiolo will be looking for a new contract.
That is true, and we should give him whatever contract we can give him, hardly think the demands will be unreasonable considering the market and what a super star he is becoming.
But yeah, despite all the bravado of Raiola, he is a clever fatso, and its very very smart to have moved Pogba here, and for him to stayed and stay for longer. Because very few top clubs can offer the kind of ideal and super professional surrounding to grow in, while giving him so much space to become the go-to-guy. Especially from this season onwards. Previously he was secondary to Vidal and Tevez, and Pirlo carrying most of the iconic burden in midfield. But now its up to him, and regardless of how much he would invision playing for Barca or Real, he wouldnt be the first fiddle he is for us (especially at Barca, in post Ronaldo Real, I can easily see Pogba becoming the go-to super star).

I think it's way too premature to predict either way. In a recent interview, Raiola said Juve are the favorites to keep him and they turned down massive offers last summer. And a couple of days ago he said he is happy in Turin after being named to starting XI of FIFPro. I honestly don't know how long he will stay. There are many factors that could determine that. A lot of it depends on his desires and the club's ambitions. He seems very happy with his teammates and still seems very grateful to the club for giving him a chance back in 2012. And in Turin he will be the man along with Dybala, who he seems to be having a lot of fun with (even if it is mainly dabbing 
). In Spain he will be second fiddle to Messi, Neymar, Ronaldo, and so on. The other factor will also be how the club grows over the next few years. Juve has gotten to a point where it can turn down offers for its players if they want to stay. It doesn't have to rely on selling players to pay the bills like other clubs in Italy.
