Donnarumma ➡️ 2 release-clauses into his contract with AC Milan:

- €50M if Milan will NOT be in UCL 18/19
- €100M if Milan will be in UCL
I don't think that's the case.

It was changed in the last minute, iirc, and his release clause is set at 75mln euros despite their position in Serie A at the end of the season.

Juve will definitely replace Gigi with another great keeper like oblak
We won't, surely, as we bought Polak to replace Gigi. We'll just get a 2nd keeper next summer. Or we'll use our 3rd GK as our 2nd.

No, we won't... chances are high that we'll sell Sandro/Dybala but we surely won't use the money to buy a GK but some other position, most likely midfield, and most likely SMS in my opinion.

Szczęsny didn't come here to warm our bench, not with his salary. Plus, he came here to get minutes, as he always played in Roma too. He's getting into his best years as a GK and our board saw him as Gigi's successor.

Do you think Lotito will sell SMS to juve after all that has happened I really hope juve properly replace Gigi with good GK after weakening the defence

Well he did play at Arsenal together with Almunia and later Fabianski as sometimes 1st and sometimes 2nd number, maybe we'll do something like that, bring in another potential starter and let them battle it out and share the game time.

Waste of money imo. We need other positions to take of which are way more important. Spending over 50mln on a Gk make no sense, especially if it's Dybala/Sandro money, cause our net spendings are always quite low.

He'd sell because we'd offer tons of money. He wouldn't be in a position to reject as he's no PSG owner. It would be over 50-60mln euros which is tons for Lazio.

His valuation of keita is 30 million euros who is on his last year of his contract I doubt his valuation will be less than 70 million euros for SMS I had hoped juve would sign meret and see how he does in serie a with another club

I saw on the right side and in the center. I think Fiorentina used him more in the center last season when he was much more effective and had a better end product than on the wing.

Matuidi said it... did you expect him to say 'I'm gonna be bad if I play next to Pjanic'? That makse no sense. Even people who watched him A LOT more than I did say that he's the best fit for 3 man midfield and how his ball control is quite bad and won't fit well next to Pjanic.

You being positive about the mercato makes just as much sense, man. This has nothing to do with my negativity but realistic view because I won't fap my $#@! over any signing that we make just because 'trust our board, look, we signed x player and it worked'. I won't rely on that $#@! but on my view of the player. Do I care if I'm wrong? I do not because Juve will play great and I'll gladly be wrong! I was quite happy over the past couple of years when it came to our transfers but I surely can't be happy this year when we sold Bonucci who was not even replaced properly, sold Alves who was replaced by freaking De Sciglio (no need for a fairy tale how Alves for a winger for us).

There's nothing wrong with being drawn to criticism as long as it holds some grounds. There's a lot wrong when people fap over nothing just because 'they are the better fans'.
You think Fiorentina used him more in the center? Honestly, how many games did you watch? I remember you saying you tended to miss Juve games and all of a sudden you become a close Viola observer. As for Matuidi, he's been constantly a first choice for PSG who play possession Barcelonesque style. He's not a Verratti but he's technique is decent enough. Maybe he's not a perfect fit but he's good enough. Mind you we also have Khedira and Marchisio yet you're acting like we are left with Matuidi and Sturaro to assist Mire.

You realistic? Come on, you're acting like we're doomed. We got to CL final with Khedira, Pjanic, half-fit Marchisio and Cuadrado as the only sub for the front four. Now we gon' have a fit Marchisio, added Matuidi, added D. Costa and Bernardeschi and you're still crying. Now the fairy tail about Alves not being a RB. He played RB against Barcelona, I'll give you that but he did nothing offensively in that quarter final. He was glued to Neymar. 1/2 and the final he played as RWF. He was also injured for what, four months? Yet we somehow managed to do without him. He definitely is a loss but it's not the end of the world.

Bonucci is a loss but it's hard to blame the mgmt since he wanted that 10mln salary. I'm glad we did not spend a fortune on another CB, it's about time to give Rugani a real chance.

To sum up,
We've been second best team in the world last season. We don't need much improvements. Did you expect Juve to have a transfer campaign like ManU, Milan, PSG or City? If yes, then you were to be disappointed from the beginning. What player did you want, Verratti? For real? You said you've been content with our previous campaigns. What about the one we got unproven Morata with a recompra and Max Pereyra?
