you think he could be a good player for us?
i don't know man. based on what i've seen, he's talented, fast, got some fancy dribbling, but still unproven. he can be useful for sure, he would have been better yesterday than padoin, but as a protagonista... i have no clue tbh.

in paratici we trust.

This Lemina guy fits all the parameters of the club.

Young, talented, explosive player that could become future star.

By all means get him.

BTW if this happens we could spend more then 150 million this Mercato which is really insane.

120 already spent + 12 for Lemina + 20-30 for AM

Juventus have decided to close the transfer of Cuadrado after realizing that signing Mkhitaryan & Draxler became more difficult. [GdS]

Marseille midfielder Mario Lemina should join Juventus on loan with a buy-option, according to Gazzetta.

According to Tuttosport, Llorente will stay & Zaza could be loaned out. Coman could also leave.

Juventus will make an attempt to sign Gundogan. Dortmund wants €30m to sell the German midfielder, according to Gazzetta.

I thought it was obvious that Zaza didn't have the talent to succeed at a big club. I honestly thought it was a joke when I heard he was coming back. Hopefully he will be sold somewhere where he could perform.

Maybe one of the newly promoted teams? Palermo need a striker

So we paid 18m euros for Zaza to loan him out?
that would be the move of the century.

:beppe: and :allegri: made some khmmmm... "interesting" choices so far this summer:
- replacing pirlo&vidal with a single player, an injury prone khedira?
- paying a shitload of money for a llorente replacement, than keeping llorente and loaning out the 18m man? that would made us to look like clowns.
- getting a winger (cuadrado) instead of a tq?

Vidal hasn't exactly been 'replaced'.

We just seem to have more options in midfield now which'd help us to readjust.

Khedira, Asamoah, Sturaro, Pereyra, Marchisio, Pogba, Padoin.

That's good depth.

I'd be disappointed if Llorente isnt sold though.Zaza purchase would've made zero sense in that case.
Still hoping he's gone by the end of the window.

4-3-3
Buffon
Licht-Bonucci-Chiellini-Sandro
Marchisio
Pereyra--------Pogba
Cuadrado-Mandzukic-Morata​
This is how I see the team being setup if we opt for a 433 ignoring the current injuries to our players especially the long terms ones.

@Fred who is this guy?
Random move by Juventus I would say. Lemina didn't play that much last season, he was a backup to Imbula and Romao, before the latter was shifted to a CB position. He's a defensive midfielder, very good tackler of the ball, is quite disciplined and very energetic. He hasn't done too badly for L'OM, he's always been a very solid option from the bench. Last season he even filled in as right wingback in Bielsa's 3-5-2, when Marseille had an injury crisis.

He's a young player and still has room for improvement, I wouldn't be surprised if he turns out to be a very good defensive midfielder, as he's already exhibited that, but IMO he hasn't fulfilled his potential at Marseille. Back when he was at Lorient, he looked very promising at a young age, at the time Christian Gourcuff, one of the best managers in the Ligue IMO, and a manager who has been renowned for giving youngsters opportunities and developing them was Lorient's coach. I remember there was some controversy when Lorient's management decided to sell Lemina to Marseille at the end of the mercato a few years ago, apparently Gourcuff rated him very highly and thought that once Lemina got his chance as a starter he'd have been worth a lot more.

Still, there is a possibility that Juve have a strong scouting presence in France, and maybe Juve's scouts thought Marseille hadn't given him enough opportunities. He looked very promising at Lorient as a young defensive midfielder that was an excellent tackler, very snappy and energetic kind of player. But like I said, he didn't really get much opportunities at Marseille, hence why I thought this was a kind of random move.

Interesting, apparently Tuttosport are being told that there is no truth to it but we will see.

We definitely do need a CM though.
