To wrap up..

Gazzetta is reporting that Marotta met with Leonardi (Parma DS) yesterday. Juventus want him back.

Parma want 13M, but Marotta offered 10M. Another meeting next Tuesday. Juventus are really close to getting him back.

Di Marzio, also, says Juve are determined to get him back. Another meeting next week.

It’s not clear, though, whether he will be back for Conte or as a bargaining chip for Cavani, as Curva said.

He's not even going to play for us, we're going to ship him off to Napoli for Cavani or just cash for RVP.
Still don't see this happening, especially since ADL said that they're planning on bringing Insigne back; don't need an army of diminutive forwards.

Also, if we sell him for cash then we'll need another SS/LWF (which obviously isn't Robin), and a CF.

Other SS = Quag.

LW: Giacch, Vucinic
RW: Isla, Pepe
CF: RVP/Cavani, Matri, Quag
No. Insufficient, Q isn't creative enough to adequately fill that role. Doesn't have the requisite technique, and has never scored more than 13 goals in a league season either. I like the guy, but he's not the answer.

We need to prioritize the attack, there needs to be an upgrade at CF, and someone who can legitimately push Mirko for minutes when he's in a funk.

Alright then:

LW: Giacch, Vucinic, Jojo
RW: Isla, Pepe
CF: RVP/Cavani, Matri, Quag

Gio + €10m to Fiorentina for Jovetic.

I like Seba, but I'd do that deal on the spot.

Unfortunately, this isn't FM, or Fifa on PS3 though. That requires probably 10-12M to Parma, 10M to Fiorentina, and then roughly either 30M to Arsenal or 40M to Napoli (if either were willing to sell in the first place). We don't have that kind of cash on hand, especially given the moves already made, and there are just to many variables for it to be realistic at this point.

Can dream, I guess. Still, I'd be happy to give the little guy a shot, too. He would improve the attack, for sure.

I don't see why not tbh, in my opinion all the players we buy besides fowards will be covered by sales. We have Melo, Krasic, Ziegler, Elia, Pazienza (about ~25-30m imo) + another 5 at least from other players. Let's say that's 30. So far we've spent about 19.5 on Asamoah, Isla, Leali and Pogba. Now if we add 25 to that for RVP and 20 for Jojo that's only 64.5. If you remove the minimum 30 from players sold we've only spent about 35 and last season we had a total outlay like double that. Add a couple more players (maybe CB & LB) and total outlay = around 50. Don't forget Agnelli said we're expected to make heavy losses again this season but after that everything will be better once we have CL income.

Right, but remember the salaries that are coming in, too. We're going to be adding some cash there, plus it sounds like at least 5M for Verratti, also linked with some other players in potential swap deals, like El Kaddouri. Who knows what will come, but we still need to be aware that Juve has taken a couple of heavy losses the past couple of years, and has installments to pay on previous purchases.

I just wouldn't get hopes up too much, considering we've really already spent 35M on 3 players, plus a couple of decent salaries probably (Should really count the full value of Asamoah and Isla, as vast majority of players are bought in installments).

Other than that, problems become mostly logistical (do clubs want our players - Fio/Gio specifically - that type of thing).

Anyway, 3:40AM here, time for sleep.
