they get two top players. we also get a player we don't need, and they lose the same player just to consequently fap themselves to death.

it makes sense for milan only. bonucci earns too much, he's a $#@!head and coming from a disastrous season, while caldara is the best prospect in italy. that swap alone is a blasphemy. also, letting milan get higuain only makes some sense if there's no competitive offer from chelsea, and that should be completely unrelated to the defender situation, because we don't need bonucci, and we should absolutely keep caldara.

No, Higuain is not a top player. Caldara is not a top player - yet. Bonucci is a top player at Juventus - he showed that.

It's not true that we don't need Bonucci or someone of his qualities. It's why we've been on De Ligt all summer, a younger Bonucci. We need a CB who can pass and be comfortable on the ball.

From Cristiano $#@!ing Ronaldo to this.

Exactly! This shit with Milan makes no sense to me. Hoepfully it's just in the end in wanting to fuck with them and Bonucci! Yes a Higgy sale should happen but not to them. Juve has spent so much going for it with CR7, don't worry about the lost money on him and maybe just unload him to Chelsea for like 40 million?

Guys, make me smile in the end too!

Lol , I don't even like Higuain, but he is definitely a top player, at least domestically.

 

[Xperd]

If Higuain isn't a top player then neither is Bonucci based on last season.

The stupidity on here sometimes kills me.

55(?) goals in 2 seasons. More than any player since Trezeguet (?)

Not a top player

Could all of this Caldara, Bonucci and Higuain she be a smokescreen for Chelsea to get their fingers out of their butt?

Yes

i hope higuain takes his revenge against juve in the future because we deserve it with so many ungratefull pr@cks

To what? Having the best team in a decade? Rejuvenating and improving the squad at the same time? Keeping all our best players while improving? Literally everything anyone ever wanted out of this board?

Domestically Papu Gomez is a top player. Internationally he is a big, fat dud.

And Giovinco had 15 goals and 15 assists in a season. Idc about pure numbers. How many goals did Immobile score in the same period? Is he a top player?

Higuain is not going to change anyone's fortunes, especially not Milan's with no midfield behind him and an inferior squad to most top teams in the league. There was no (major) drop off whenever Higuain didn't play. Often times the team looked better. In no way, shape or form is he a top player nor did he ever make a difference internationally like Bonucci did last two years with us.

I don't think you understand the first word.

 

[IlCapitano]

I don't think you understand the first word.

I'm pretty sure I do.

OUT: Buffon, Lichtsteiner, Asamoah, Caldara, Higuain - average age 31.4
IN: Perin, Cancelo, Can, Spinazzola, Bonucci, Ronaldo - average age 27

 

[Osman]

No, Higuain is not a top player.

The hell? Higauin is obviously a top player, one the few best players at his position.

If Chelsea were to agree a deal for Rugani and Higuain, would that mean we keep Caldara?

Indeed, he is one of the best strikers we had in a decade, just bad timing that he is replaced by the best sttiker EVER most likely. We shouldn't forget how fantastic Higauin been for us just because we signed insane upgrade. Zero reason to treat Higauin like he is Iaquinta or something...

Caldara is better in every position at this table.

 

[Osman]

Caldara is better in every position at this table.

If we check similar stats for Acerbi he will probably have better stats then Bonucci too. But that doesn't change the fact one is a top player and other is unproven talent at top level.


They clearly different styles, approaches and strengths despite playing in same position.

Juventus haven't agreed to Milan's proposal to swap Caldara for Bonucci on par and loaning Higuaín with a mandatory purchase. Juve want more guarantees from Milan over the redemption of Higuaín.(sky)

It is very, very simple. He was mostly successful in Serie A, mostly a failure in CL, he wasn't brought in for Serie A.

It's that simple only because fans like you try to think in simple terms like that.

At the time Higauin was a fantastic upgrade for us. Only thing bad about his signing is us grossly overpaying for him.

I think we saw huge benefit to that deal from weakening our rivals. We took arguably Roma & Napoli's best players. Perhaps that is why Bepps liked it so much
