We're rejuvenating. We don't have a billion to spend without selling.
I don't believe SMS is a possibility. Cry me a river.
Don't be an oversensitive ballerina. I was just calling it as I see it. Mediocre fullback options and an underwhelming midfield. That's my opinion. You don't like it? I couldn't care less tbh.

Fair. I don't think it's CL winning material either. But the attack is great. So many options. I would be happy to keep it as it is and add Martial.
Can is an upgrade to both Matuidi and Khedira of this season. Bentancur will get more games and finish the season a starter.

In defense I agree the LB is still very weak. Mainly bc I can't rate Spinazzola. He seems like another mediocre italian. (fingers crossed) he will prove us wrong.

I really just don't see us go big for two fullbacks. Cancelo is an obvious aviability. Technically we would have 3 players for the LB, if Cancelo proves the real deal on the right: De Sciglio, Spinazzola, Darmian.

Ofc, all of this is as of the current transfer rumours. I'm simply trying to collect the pieces of rumoured players coming in.

:baus: I can agree with those assessments :D :tup:

I feel Buffon, Sandro, Marchisio, and possibly Mandzukic are gone.

I would like to see "The Accidental Footballer" leave, but I have a feeling we're stuck with him; apparently, Allegri values him for whatever weird reason.

Khedira may or may not leave. Rugani might be a surprise sale.

An absolutely predictable and unsurprising mediocre Italian acquisition that Juventus sign every summer?

To be fair, so long as we don't spend much on him (and he is rotation option) I am ok with taking a chance on it. Was very against De Sciglio and he is alright.
De sciglio's injuries make him a bad investment this season. We cannot rely on him for much longer

Darmian left back in the changing rooms is his best position

    We can rely on them for back up, though.

    OK, Darmain would be a solid signing as a LB if AS leaves. certainly a downgrade but we have Spinazzola coming in as well, so those 2 rotating there would be not exactly perfect and what we were hoping for, but its OK, IF we get a upgrade at RB. lets say we have Darmain/Spianzzola sharing the playing time on the left, and Cancelo/De Sciglio on the right, that wouldnt be worse than what we currently (including the present version of AS) have. Cuadrado staying would also be a must, in addition to a CB/RB or CB/LB, since De Sciglio (22 games this season), Spinazzola (19), Darmian (9) miss games often. plus we all know our staff wont decrease that number obviously

    Usually we have about 4 names already confirmed before the end of the season, when the window opens is when beppe goes full retard and starts flogging our best players and then brings in one or two kids who we'll never see wear a Juve shirt again or useless squad players

    Isn't there a freebie LB somewhere that does what this guy does? How will we end up paying something like 25M combined for MDS and Darmian ffs. They do nothing above what another human being does in that position. Isn't Felipe Luis a bosman?
