So what does a sporting director that manages to sell 31 year old finished pjanic for 60 million deserve :)
Both deals are inflated as hell and that's because of that stupid FFP who punishes any club except p$g and shitty.
Seeing as a finished Pjanic is still twice the player Arthur is, it was an incredibly stupid deal to make. Ya know?

We didn’t need to sell Pjanic in some sketchy ass deal that brought in Arthur at an absurd book value. We bought Pjanic for 32 mil. Which was a great deal. He had very little book value. And if Paratici hadn’t fucked up repeatedly giving high wages to everyone and bringing in shitty/finished CMs one after the other, then we wouldn’t have been needing some ridiculous plusvalenza on Pjanic to fake-balance the books.

Anyways, we agree on FFP. It screws everyone but PSG and the EPL giants. But that’s reality, so our management has to work with it for now, and Tootsie failed pretty badly there.

Here’s hoping Allegri can work miracles with Arthur.

Donnarumma is becoming less and less likely with each day! But hey I cant wait to welcome back a old lazy Bosnian and call it a midfield fix
Relax, the season has just finished and we have had a lot of changes. Very few teams have made any signings yet.

If we only plan to bring back Pjanic and end our mercato then we are in trouble. But you and I both know we will be making other moves.

I don't have a problem with Pjanic on a cheap loan with no obligation, none of our midfielders can pass so he brings something we miss. I'd worry if we committed to buy him though. Maybe we are saving money for a better signing, judge the window once we are more than a few days in.

I bet Arthur is really good in training.

You know when they are doing shooting practice and someone lays the ball off for the shooter? He can be the person who lays the ball off
Depends how far away the shooter is standing.

He can also be the person that is pretending to get ready to take the FK, but not actually be the one to take it.


A decoy of sorts, have you.

Don't get your hopes high. Our best move already happened with Allegri.
And that's kinda alright I guess? We all know that Allegri can squeeze more out of the squad.

The bottom line is to fix things that are obvious - first and foremost for everyone is midfield for sure. If CR7 decides to leave then we'll need a CF etc.

Everything will be happening with respect to budget I guess, lowering the wage bill is necessary too. It will take a couple of years to fix the financial side, until then we shouldn't expect fireworks tbh.

I kinda agree but we have to mention hindsight.
When the deal happened last year, the majority of the forum thought it was a good deal, hence the Mercato ratings.
Now if he doesn't get sold I'm expecting a much improved season under Max.
Our greatest spell last season came with him on the pitch in January, I belive.
Then he got injured and everything went out of the window.
I've still got faith in him.

Im more worried that the thought of pjanic being the alternative to locatelli is actually a real possibility.

Of course, it's a great thing that we signed him. I think he'll get the best out of this squad that has been underperforming with Pirlo. Players like Bentancur will actually turn out decent while I also think there's a good chance we see a better Berna. I also expect Kulusevski to show up different as our game will be way, way more disciplined than this season.

But I wouldn't expect some WC signing and huge names this mercato.

He could very well be.

But I would hope that the money saved would be invested in another midfield player that we couldn't afford if we signed Locatelli. It could work out better, time will tell it is too early to panic.
I can just sense it already pjanic and de sciglio will be our midfield and full back fixes this summer. whilst we will say we tried for SMS, pogba and gosens but failed miserably.

Given that Euro 2020 starts this week and Copa America ongoing, it'll be very difficult to negotiate freely and do medicals with COVID restriction and all. I expect fake news for at least a month. If nothing happens this week then it'll be July before any real action and at inflated prices.

For the characteristics that Juventus are looking for to reinforce their attack and for the opportunity that may present itself, the name of Dzeko should be taken into consideration. Even if Juve intends to evaluate younger stikrers first.(Giova Albanese)
Delete this before Hustini and zizinho see it.
