This is a powerful deep frontline.

Bernardeschi (Cuadrado/Costa) - Dybala (Bernardeschi-Pjaca) - Costa (Bernardeschi/Pjaca/Mandzukic)

Higuain (Mandzukic/Dybala/Moise Kean)

Next please, Matic (or better) and we're all set to keep dominating.

Let's hope that we keep Cuadrado and I like the fact that we stopped the Schick transfer and actually focused on Kean. (I was excited for Schick though but with health conditions I don't want to even take the risk, it's really not worth it)

We need a better RB of course. We are dominating Italy regardless; we should be targeting European domination.

after 7 years, you'd think people would learn to give him space and let him prove you wrong again. but noooooooo

came here to say y'all should learn to keep your mouths shut.

every season he brings in quality that delivers. so everyone needs to take a step back and show some respect to the man that has made juve a relevant club again.

i'm -repping anyone who critisizes any transfers coming in or have come in this season if they so much as say anything negative before giving the player at least half a season.

join me bros.

join me bros.

I'm on board! Fell the same about Max!

“With Bonucci we accepted his personal and professional desire, which was to join Milan. There was the feeling he could go. It was not about incidents so much as motivation that was lacking.

“We have found that keeping players against their will is counter-productive,” Marotta told Sky Sport Italia.

------------------
I wonder who is he talking about in the last sentence? For 3 years we are criticizing our softness regarding these players who want to leave, and I always thought there was a good reason behind it. There had to be a case, or cases, where we kept players against their will, and those players created problems off the pitch, or performed badly on the pitch.
Vidal, perhaps? Maybe he wanted to leave in the summer of 2014, we didn't let him go, and then he played really bad in 2014/15 and made problems off the pitch?

 

[Stephan]

He is just generalizing.

Vidal drink driving to get himself out?

 

[baggio]

Pogba?

 

[zizinho]

Pogba?

Pogba was a 10/10 professional here. has to be Arturo, if he really meant someone specifically. or maybe Licht at the beginning of this season when we told him he cant go to inter (Licht said there were "missunderstandings" with the management, which were later cleared). other than these 2, i cant recall a player we possibly might have kept against their will. but imo, he was talking in general

Vidal 100% imo.

Those Manchester United rumours were most likely true and (injuries withstanding) it was his worst season for us by far. He didn't look happy the majority of the time.

2 CL finals in the last 3 years vs 0, get rekt ulli


Yeah I know, you know you're a Juve fan when you're naming final appearances as if they were titles

Ultimately in both seasons, 2015 and 2017 they got defeated by the same team that fucked us. Which means we can't say we have defeated a team that beat Bayern. Which means, despite going farther, we can't say we were better that season. Which means we can't claim our transfer philosophy is superior

Ultimately, in both seasons they got wrecked as bad, if not worse, than we did.

There are clear benefits to both strategies, and both teams have had a lot of success recently, only behind Barcelona and Real Madrid in terms of CL results over the last 3-4 years.

I think we will see our policy about players leaving change slowly anyways, if we keep being a top 4 team in the CL and our revenue continues to grow.

 

[Cerval]

Big if, but if Vidal was the one, why generalize and say every player will turn out causing problems? If you keep a player and want him to respect his contract, make him feel important and stay competitive and the player in question will know his place and get over it. Perhaps change his mind as well

Madrid, Bayern, etc. all of them do this

Do you still have that quote from Red Cafe from where he was linked with them?

Is there any reason to believe that Bayern are better than us? Barca and Madrid have been above the rest and us bayern and Atletico are in the next group if you ask me competing every year. You say we arent better but what makes you think that?

Speculations and market philosophy shenanigans aside they have factually beaten us last season, didn't disintegrate against Real this season and they are the only club we havent beaten in what, 10 years?

Honestly I have an easier time arguing we are better than Barca

We probably did this with lots of players. We couldn't do it with everyone, so some ended up being sold. If it was a question of money, a good bunch of our stars would have played in the richest EPL teams by now, or in PSG. They don't, so it means that we somehow manage to keep them here. I guess that some of our players are constantly tempted with top offers from abroad, and some told Marotta that they are thinking about leaving, or even asked to leave. But we convinced them to stay and those things stay withing the club. But in some cases we fail to keep the players, even though I'm convinced that a team of our stature does everything to keep them. So many different characters and situations out there. Some players can be convinced, some are too proud to get over a disagreement or a fight. Some need too little, some need too much.
What is publicly presented as "if a player is unhappy, he can leave", has much more than that behind the scenes.
