Year after year I see people posting formations and naming players we could see next year (hell, I did it dozens of times myself). Even two, three years ago people were naming big names, WC players that 'could' come here in the summer. Yet in the end, every summer, we see the same thing. We're signing good players, but none of those can be described as world class at the moment when we're buying them. We're currently in the position when we turn those players in the WC ones (Vidal, Pogba). Hell, even after winning Serie A, getting to the 1/4 of CL and winning Serie A we're seeing similar moves - signing Llorente. He's a very good player, but surely not a WC one eventhough he could explode here. I'm still one of those that welcomed that transfer in the first place.

We're being seriously linked with Diamanti (might, or might not happen in the end). In all seriousness, what makes you people believe that we'll sign 2 strikers this summer? We still have Vucinic who, despite of huge misses, pretty much carried our forward this season. We also have Giovinco who's value was not all, so I don't see us selling either of them. Giovinco might or could be used in some swap deal, but then again I don't know if he'd accept going to Fiorentina or clubs on that level.

Now all of the sudden people keep saying Higuain and Benzema? Hell, not only them, but now after Nani links people suggest we should buy Di Maria as well? No, now Ibrahimovic as well? To me those are players that are far, far away from Juventus and those we can't financially hold. In short, people should not keep their hopes high even after this Scudetto, because in mid August you'll all be asking for Marotta's head and his sack. Just sit first, look at all previous transfers, and think again with a cold head. That's my advice, don't get disappointed that easy. You should rather set your mind in the other direction, of us chasing players of good calibre and that are NOT wanted by Manchester City, PSG or some other club.

I don't see us bringing Higuain because it'd mean Llorente'd have to sit on the bench. We need RWF more to make our starting 11 more complete. If we're looking at Real's players it should be Di Maria. The guy is a beast.

Real Madrid striker Gonzalo Higuain will leave this summer the club have confirmed, Sky Sports reports. The club’s general manager, Jose Angel Sanchez, confirmed his exit by telling French paper L’Equipe: ”In a great club like Real, we believe we need two number nines of a high level.”
“We have Benzema and Higuain, Higuain will leave, Benzema will stay and two others will come.”

According to the reports, Juve, PSG, Chelsea and Tottenham are the clubs, considered to be favourites for Gonzalo`s signature. Even if we decide to make a bid for him this summer, I doubt that he`ll end up in Torino. The most realistic scenario that I see is bringing Zlatan back home, PSG making crazy bids for Higuain and Cavani in attempt to acquire one of them, Chelsea throwing a huuuge amount of cash for Falcao as Jose is said to have demanded from Abramovich, and Tottenham (after being rejected by Higuain and every other top player who is not ready to take a step back in his career and join a club, which optimal goal is to qualify for Europa League and reach the semi-s for League Cup and FA Cup), getting someone like Benteke, Lukaku or Remy...

Paragraphs, Dusan. Paragraphs.

I don't disagree with you, though.
