Let's forget about Cavani, for the money he could possibly come here we'll go for Dybala + Zaza package I think. We need a player like Dybala since we only have Tevez with that kind of characteristics but also we need a Morata sub. Llorente will be sold and Matri will be gone as well.

I can see Cavani going to MU tbh if he moves. LvG will get rid of Falcao or RvP (or even both) and he will need a player like him. Since money is not a problem for MU I'm pretty sure Cavani and PSG would prefer MU over us.

how do you play cavani and morata together? its never a good idea to play 2 CF's together especially when your team play with no wingers.
We need an ss unless we're signing a creative trequartista. wonder if mata would be available?

This is probably the most likeliest outcome.

Not a lot of top strikers on the market tbh.Since Cavani is a 'big name' ,i can see them splashing stupid money on him whilst disposing off Falcao and RVP.

Given the option you'd take Dybala and Zaza over Cavani?

Considering the numbers being thrown around as well as his age and recent form I wouldn't call Cavani an opportunity for Juve. Cavani's current situation is an opportunity for a club like MU, not Juve.

First of all we don't have Tevez's replacement for the SS role. I don't mean after he leaves but even now. Second I don't know how you play Morata and Cavani together, IMO it wouldn't work. Thirdly there's Dybala who I consider as opportunity because he's somewhat similar to Tevez, so we'd have a back up for next season and later he'd take Tevez's place. Dybala is second most effective player in Serie A this season, only behind Tevez and we actually have a shot at the kid it seems.

Zaza is very average to me and he doesn't excite me but we can't afford to keep Llorente on the bench, he's too expensive and not that young anymore. I think you can't do worse than Llorente this season so there's some hope for Zaza :p

Cavani is simply not happening, he's too expensive. I think the management will go the Dybala - Zaza way and I'd do that too I guess.

I see your point regarding the opportunity Cavani represents. Marotta is much more likely to take either a promising or down-on-his-luck player on a discount. I'd say that signing Cavani for the 35m or whatever numbers are being thrown around now does represent a bargain - Cavani is one of the best forwards in the world and that would be a bargain. I do agree that it's not on the same level as what we paid for Tevez though.

Can you honestly say that Tevez is playing as an SS? He's clearly playing as a centre forward. Not only that but one with a huge work ethic who does a lot of defensive work while also leading the team in scoring. The only player I can think of who plays in a similar way is Edinson Cavani. He's the full package, offering what we'd lose in Tevez while also being in his prime - the guy has just turned 28. I don't see any real reason why Cavani and Morata shouldn't be able to play together as a CF partnership.

I agree completely with you on Zaza. He doesn't excite me at all but I do see what you mean about Llorente. I would argue that we've already chosen Matri as our Llorente replacement and that we'll look to re-sign him on a permanent contract for next year.

From what I'm reading it looks like Cavani would only cost the club a little bit more than Dybala. I don't see why we'd not choose to sign a ready-made powerhouse excepting that PSG would probably insist on discussing Pogba if we were to try and buy one of their players. Fuck that.

Not saying i believe this stupid rumors of Juve spending in the range of 40m odd on Cavani.But hypothetically speaking,in case we had that kind of money to spend,i would do it on someone like Benteke who'll shortly develop into a established star striker.
That kind of money on a 28 yr old misfiring striker like Cavani is too much money for a club that spends every penny carefully or atleast in comparison to other top clubs.Would take Cavani for 25m odd but not for the numbers being thrown around according to reports(~45m)
(Ideally though,i'd prefer a fancy attacker over both those scenarios)

That's laughable for sure...

I mean, Verratti going for less than Dybala? I know the papers are hyping this Argentinian kid up crazy but him going for more than an elite central midfielder? From PSG no less?

Not happening. And, let's be honest, if Dybala was Italian we wouldn't even be talking about signing him for more than 20m. That South American hype train is real. And less than one year removed from Iturbe hype that soon flopped?
Verratti would cost much more than 30M, true.

Watch more of Paolo Dybala, though. Get BeIn for 20 bucks a month, you can commit one month at a time. Great streams of every game in the league in English (plus every Ligue 1 match, ever Liga match, CONMEBOL action, etc.).

This isn't about the South American hype train, the kid is going to be sublime. I think another team will pay 40M this summer, which is why I'm praying Beppe can find a couple parts to include, and seal this deal ASAP. We'll probably miss out.

In terms of productivity, even if you just counted his goals so far this season, he's already more productive than Iturbe was all of last year. Iturbe had 8 goals, and 4 assists. It's not like he blew the doors off the league, and remember, Iturbe's stats were padded because he played with Toni. :p

Dybala has 13 goals and 10 assists right now. He's nearly twice as productive so far, in fewer games.

Way more intelligent, way more composure on the ball. Fantastic technical ability, someone mentioned he likes his left, that is not an issue, he's good with both feet. He is a reference point for that team, and truly the type of player you can build offensive strategies around. Real deal!

Man.. Cavani is Cavani. He is the CF we have always dreamed.

Morata is for the future... but Cavani is a god among men in scoring goals..which Morata isnt. He also has Tevez like workrate and strong as hell body.

Cavani must be bought if possible. Period.
:D

I can't agree anymore, brother. He's a great player, was outstanding for Napoli, but I think the circumstances are wrong now. Also, Morata, if you look at is U-numbers, was potting almost a goal a game. He's going to be a volume scorer, and he's developing a really nice work ethic. If he decides this is where he wants to be longer term, I think he'll do great things for the club.

I don't want to bring in Cavani for huge money, on huge wages, with a huge ego, and have him disrupt the wage structure -- and very likely the development of the 2nd best young player on our squad. Cavani is great, but I think that ship has sailed. Juve will need that money later, to keep all of these young, developing stars that we're currently enjoying.

I like where we are right now, and I would be trying to sign Tevez's understudy/partner/eventual replacement -- one Dybala, please!

I think there's more of a situation around Falcao than there is around Cavani. I'd say there's perhaps a greater possibility we'll sign Dybala and loan Falcao than sign Cavani and which would mean letting go of Dybala.

100 mil euros would be an offer we can't refuse IMO.

Personally The best scenario to me is to get 50-60 mil for Pogba plus verratti from PSG. That would be just perfect. We'd replace Pogba with a very talented "young" midfielder and we'll have an extra 50-60 mil to spend on other positions.

But I don't expect that scenario to happen sadly.
