I never said we should use our option to sign Aquilani at the end of the season for €16M. I was merely implying that starting a new season with only 3 CMs is a bad idea, especially when you consider our injuries.

Not fair to Aqua but Pepe is way to expensive for what he is.
yea I understand you,what i mean is,if we start Marchisio as CM then his sub can be anyone,no need to pay much on a bench player.We can bring back Ekdal for example or buy a cheaper player than Alberto,cos as i said we should save our money for the weaker lines,as for CMs we already have quality players and the only prob as you said is to bring a 4th player mainly for injuries not add quality,so i think Ekdal is Ok for the bench.
Difficult one, for 15MEuro,my preference would be to look to someone else (As I have said before, Defour for 8-10 would be a better buy IMO) but if we buy him, I think we'd still have a good midfielder at our disposal my vote goes for no since I don't think he is worth 15MEuro and the Q is if we should buy him for 15MEuro.
Based on their performances this season, that would be justified. If anything, Pepe probably has been slightly better overall.
Still, I'm not quite ready to give up on Aqui. So I would like us to sign him (obviously not for the "agreed" price), but maybe that's just personal bias talking.
And unlike my fellow countryman, I would not be too keen to take a chance on Defour.

With his performance going down so quickly this season, I really don't see Liverpool holding out for their original offer of 16m when the know we won't go that high so does it make more sense for Pool to bring him back, pay his wages and not use him as much or let him come to Juve for much less and free themselves of his wages, etc?
I don't really like him.
He may be talented enough though (he's probably too good for the Belgian league, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything), but even at his young age he's had a lot of injury problems.
Plus, he also a bit "dumb": a bit of cry baby, awful fouls (it remains a mystery to me why he always gets away with them in Belgium), difficulties when he's being pressured, ...
Had he been a cheap player, it could have been worth a shot.
On that note, Juve really should start scouting in Belgium though. I'm pretty sure you can find a better RB than Motta for less than 5 million €

I also dislike him as a person, but his talent is undoutable, Standard with or without Defour is just another team.
And indeed, Juve should start scouting in Belgium:
Lukaku brothers, De Bruyne, Defour (although you disagree), definately players that could be an upgrade for what we have now.
Although i don't know which RB you'd like from or league at Juve, hopefully not Ciman or Marcos.
