It's ironic that you put Bernardeschi in bold but not Douglas Costa.

yeah, good point. i'm not sure about costa, i haven't seen too much of him lately. at least he was a beast with lucescu at donetsk.

Can he defend?

From GDM's article:
"In the midfield Tolisso and Fabinho are less of a priority, while Emre Can and N'Zonzi remain viable options. Juventus is ready to improve Allegri's squad"

Emre Can and N'Zonzi as reinforcements to midfield? I don't know if it is a sick joke or Beppe lowballing once again. C'mon man that is Juventus, not the fucking Sampdoria...Why would we need a backup CM and an average midfielder?
Plus the names for the attack position...Di Maria, not possible and competition for Douglas Costa...

Honestly though, I don't care if it's Costa or Di Maria for the wings, just get a top CM ffs or at least one that has the potential to be.
Not N'Zonzi's and the Can's of the world even though I rate the former.

If we don't have the money to buy 2 wingers, for example Keita and Costa and a CM like Tolisso, we have big problems.

maybe someone who watched more bundesliga than me might answer.

I don't necessarily think we need two wingers. Even one will do as long as Mandzukic continues to be used out wide, plus there is Pjaca and Cuadrado as backups while Schick will be used as a vice Higuaín. That's our attack sorted. Keita will be a bit of a luxury at this point hence why we aren't pushing him for that hard.

But what we need most is a top CM. Beppe failed to address the midfield problem last summer and Allegri masked the weakness by playing a different system. Allegri can't keep reinventing himself all the time. A midfield hardman is desperately needed here. No excuses for Beppe to reinforce the midfield this time.

Most reports are pointing towards Shick staying at Sampdoria for another year at this point. It remains to be seen but if he doesn't arrive immediately, we probably need 2 wingers/attackers unless Orsolini leaves a good enough mark from the start which I doubt.

Yeah, we agree that Schick is vice-Higuain and we need someone behind Gonzalo. Why I am saying to sign 2 wingers to give more options for Allegri. Costa could play on each wing and even behind Higuain/Schick as AM, Keita on the left would mean we could rest Mandzu or play in his original position.
I totally agree regarding the top CM. If there isn't any available top CM option, then let's sign someone who has the potential like Tolisso and if we have money we could sign a dynamic, young backup CM like Emre Can or Paredes.

N'Zonzi is the hot name

"Lazio-Keita, è guerra. Lotito inchioda Balde: o rinnova o va al Milan. Ma Keita vuole solo la Juve. Marotta ha offerto 12 mln + Sturaro"



CorSera

"TORINO, 8 giugno 2017 - Allegri ha chiesto la conferma di tutti i campioni in rosa (visto che Bonucci e Alex Sandro sono nel mirino di Manchester City e Chelsea) e innesti mirati nei ruoli chiave che necessitano di rinforzi, tenuto conto che per Schick manca soltanto l’ufficialità e che Szczesny è in arrivo come vice-Buffon. Come vice- Manduzkic, piace Douglas Costa del Bayern Monaco ma il grande colpo potrebbe essere Di Maria del Psg."


Allegri wants to keep everyone and investments in key roles that need reinforcement. Schick and Szczesny done. We like Costa but the big get would be Di Maria

Samp want to sign Eder and Schick wants to join Juve immediately. That's the latest.

 

[Amer]

We can do better then N'Zonzi.

Tolisso and Fabinho would be more of an investment for the future. They also have more quality.

 

[Gagi]

Surely. 12m + Sturaro for Keita is alright.

 

[Xperd]

N'Zonzi has a €40M release clause. We'd be idiots to pay that while the likes of Fabinho ends up going around for similar amounts.

 

[Gagi]

Huge idiots. We can get Fabinho, Tolisso or Sergej for that money.

 

[Zacheryah]

At this point i'd be very happy with

Schick
Di Maria
Fabinho

add conti, and i'm in

 

[Xperd]

We won't pay €25M for Conti while Dani Alves is still here

Let's just forget about him. He is going to Milan anyway.

why not? it'd be a similar battle to Sandro/Evra, maybe Conti can challenge Dani. If they're both great, Allegri will find a way to field both

Sign of a champion if true. Smart as well because Juve needs attacking players right now and that need might be much less in 2018 with other possible acquisitions and developments (for instance Pjaca, Kean & Orsolini come to mind).

If somehow we buy Douglas Costa & Shick we're all set in attack. Then all we need to do is buy a midfield destroyer & add a fullback (or 2 depending on who we're selling).
