I don't think it makes sense to spend so much money on one player when it's looking like there will be a big player turnaround here in the Summer, blowing a large chunk on one player would be fine if we had a settled team and only needed 1 or 2 additions to the squad but I think there is too much change needed to spend so much on one player
there isnt really. 2-3 CMs, and a RB. nothing else is needed, unless we sell

I can see 4-5 players leaving so at the very least we need 4-5 more plus we need to add to the squad, it will be an interesting Summer ahead by the looks of it
we are already adding Spinazzola and Caldara for free, Pjaca returning could be an option as well, and we could be looking for atleast one more freebie like Can, Meyer etc. id invest majority of the budget into one top CM, 1-2 young uprising ones like a Pellegrini, Praet, Cristante or whoever else we are watching, then add a starting RB. everything else can be replaced accordingly if and when some expected players leave

but we already have Caldara and Spinazzola coming in regardless and we also have the option to keep other loanees like Pjaca and Kean, so it's not that bad. zizinho beat me to it

Pls..all these spinazolla and caldera are just Italian players who will do well in the league. Having them is good for depth but not quality. They will have no contribution to our DCL dreams at all

Juventus want to spend big in attack | Calciomercato.com

Serie A giants Juventus are looking to sign Edinson Cavani and Antoine Griezmann, reports from Corriere dello Sport believe.

The 31-year-old Cavani has been one of the world's highest goalscorers this season, having found the back of the net 38 times in all competitions for the Parisiens. As far Griezmann is concerned, the Frenchman has scored 27 times in all competitions for the Los Rojiblancos and also scored for the side against Arsenal in the semi-final of the UEFA Europa League last night at the Emirates.

Reports from Corriere dello Sport believe that Juventus are monitoring the situation of both Griezmann and Cavani and are thinking big for the attack.

The two names excite the Old Lady, especially Cavani, whose contract at PSG runs out in two years and despite that, he could be willing to head away from the Parc des Princes.

Griezmann though, is more of a dream than an interest. Barcelona and Manchester United have been linked with him and he has a release clause in the region of 100 millon euros, while Cavani would be available for not more than 50 to 60 million euros.

Only way that is accurate is if we are planning on selling Dybala

I don't like the idea of Cavani. He's 31 and expensive and we don't really know how good he is, because he's playing with the Harlem Globetrotters in Mickey Mouse League.

Darmian - I hope we dont overspend for him as he is nothing special..
A.Sandro hesitating - maybe its a good sign he thinks about staying - A.Sandro is by far the best LB in the world (put aside Marcelo) so whoever we get will be a major downgrade...
Dybala for example is a player with tons of potential but I think replacing him might hurt us less than A.Sandro - With that said I hope we keep both...
No he is not. One good season where he still wasnt the best wont change that.

Why strengthen Attack when we have 2 other much more glaring weaknesses, doesn't make any sense unless we are selling 1 or 2 attackers. much rather keep what we have and strengthen midfield

Yep. Its more like nostalgia here. He was good one season,,,the other 2 he has regressed for arcane reasons.

About Cavani... man im not sure, i mean i loved Napoli Cavani but he is 31 FFS. Why waste more millions on ageing and expensive striker. We must learn our lesson with Higuain. I know Cavani is more libely than him, and not as choly... but still not worth it.

griezmann would be a much better investment. We would pay more of course but more makes more sense. I was an avid Cavani defender, but we missed his prime.
