there was not a single word on Ricardo Pereira, apart from one cds title like in early July.

I wouldn't get my hopes high. although Marotta is always 'looking for opportunities'
I dont think we are interested. I think Spinazzola is going to take the RB spot so there is no point even discussing it..
CM Matuidi is coming

Didnt Marotta say we will sign someone great who we werent even linked with?! Where is he?
Matuidi - We were linked for 2 years
Spinazzola - Links were there...
Keita - Links were there..

Strootman was only linked lately so might be him
Pereira (Danilo) was only linked lately so might be him as well...

The question remains who is the "great player" that we were promised?

Who said we were promised a great player? And someone we haven't been linked with? Marotta never said such a thing and would never say that lol. He isn't Galliani who feeds fans Mr X hype bs lol.


Think little critically of the sources before you attribute media nonsense to Marotta or Juve officials my friend.

I thought it was ADP who said that, or am I mistaken?

Yes. Del Piero said he hopes or expects Juve to make a signing that suprises fans, after we sold Bonucci.


But Del Piero is just another fan in grand scheme of things right now. And is just being hopeful like we all are.

Probably just bad translation, he promised nothing. I remember reading it in Italian and the interviewer asked if there was an important center midfielder coming... Marotta said yes. Nothing about it being a "great player".

I'll believe Matuidi once it actually happens. It could still be a tactic to get Sevilla to lower their price on Nzonzi. No big club with funds is in need of a DM more than Juve. Sevilla knows this. If they think we're on the verge of buying Matuidi they might change their stance. What club is gonna pay 40m for Nzonzi that Nzonzi will also want to go to?

Yes, thats right. Interviewer from Rai Uno: Will there arrive un centrocampista importante? - Marotta: Si. Interview finito.

Yeah I hope badly we sign Nzonzi, but that ship has sailed it seems, been cold for 2 months almost? Matuidi talk has been around for almost 2 years, and all sources saying its about to happen.

I guess the word importante signifies it and got translated into solid or top. But in lose terminology every player is importante, well everyone other than sturaro.

Also in January

He said

“In midfield we have some interesting young Italians, and we’re looking for a top player in that role who will be available for next season.”

Marotta uses the terms looking for, which of course eases pressure on him.

Sun: Juventus want Fellaini
By Football Italia staff


British tabloid the Sun claims Juventus are interested in Manchester United’s Marouane Fellaini.

The Bianconeri are believed to be very close to a deal for Paris Saint-Germain’s Blaise Matuidi, who is expected in Turin on Saturday.

Despite that, the newspaper claims they are willing to offer £22.5m [around €25m] to sign the Belgian international.

These reports should be taken with a pinch of salt, however, as Red Devils manager Jose Mourinho has already declared that Fellaini isn’t for sale.

In addition, it’s unlikely Juve would sign both Matuidi and Fellaini, given they already have Miralem Pjanic, Claudio Marchisio, Sami Khedira and Stefano Sturaro in central midfield.

The Sun also claimed in January that Pjanic wanted to move to Arsenal, just halfway through his first season in Turin.
:lol:
he says the same thing as me :touched:

Paratici was evidently at the sevilla game like a week or two ago, then a couple days after, Nzonzi asked to be sold. Nothing but silence since then. Thing is how many clubs are out there that are a step up from Sevilla that also need a mid like Nzonzi? It's a short list, and juve is at the top.

I hope Allegri realizes that D. Costa and Cuadrado types of players only have impact from the bench. We look terrible, we should understand the situation, get at least one decent CM, and switch to a midfield trio... because right now our midfield is pathetic.
Really hope we can get a Vidal type steal somehow.
