[duranfj]

I honestly believe all that just-sign-mediocrity could be an actually request from Max... we all know how much he pushed for MDS even when everyone know how crap he was... so Digne, Darmian and Bonaventura sound very likely request

 

[Bianconero81]

Then Max gotta go

 

[Xperd]

Martial, Juve break away
Bianconeri head the race for Manchester United’s French talent, who is also liked by Chelsea, Tottenham and Bayern [CDS]

So we not signing him then

welcome back Morata

Well Morata is a very good player but is not at top level as Chelsea wouldnt want to get rid of him if he is..
Benzema is WC on some games and average on others
Just a reminder - When we had Morata he didnt has the status Higuain has here.. He was a rotation and IIRC he was usually a sub to Mandzukic..
Who is WC?! Thats easy..
1. Higuain - Like him or not he is WC but he might lost it as he seems too heavy this season
2. Cavani - Definitely WC
3. C.Ronaldo - Its funny you mentioned him as he is more than just WC..
4. Mbappe - This guy is already WC at such a young age
5. Kane - Definitely
6. Salah - Nope, I see him more of an attacking midfielder than a striker. Is Salah great sure he is but it is also because of the Liverpool`s system that really suits him - Put him at another team and he might not even start for them (Real Barca) but non the less he is a great player
7. Mandzukic - Nope nope nope.. I always admired him and thought he is a great player in his own style but WC nope.. Can you see Mandzukic acting as protagonist and scoring as regulary as Higuain usually does?! I dont think so.. Mandzukic has other qualities which made him a good LW - work rate, tracking back to recover the ball and his physical play..
8. You didnt mention him but Balotelli is another guy I want to refer - Balotelli could have easily become WC should he kept his head cool but all that noise around him made him do stupid things like receiving reds for kicking opponents..
Balotelli is acrobatic and has some great shooting skills - Too bad he couldnt convert his talent and potential into his actual ability.. so Balotelli is also a great player but not WC..

So if we buy a player from a club, that means he must be shit, because else they wouldnt wanna sell?

Dont get me wrong regarding Mandzukic, I dont rate him at all and he never 'worked hard' or tracked back more than anyone else, as he somehow has gotten famous for. I was just curious to know what players YOU would consider a better striker option for us than Morata.
So your list:
- Keep Higuain
- Benzema
- Kane
- Ronaldo
- Mbappe
- Balotelli

Which means our options according to you really are:
- Higuain
- Balotelli

To me it seems like you havnt really thought this through.

Morata on a cheap loan deal with option to buy after a few years. Thats a steal. Especially with the current inflation in prices.

It seems to me you didnt ask the question properly...
Morata for 15M would be a good option. Im not enthusiastic about that 60M thing though..
Balotelli - Nope I wouldnt get him to be our CF although as rotation player (LW and CF Mandzukic like he`ll be ok)
Mbappe and Kane are unrealistic..
We dont have to get someone who is already WC though.. We can also get a forward who has the potential to be WC and will replace Higuain with time..

Juventus want Morata and are prepared to take him on loan and then buy outright. Defensive signings will depend on Alex Sandro. If he leaves, Juve could focus on Lucas Digne. If Sandro stays, they will focus on RB and push for Bellerin. [TS]

Claudio Marchisio won't leave the club - he wants to remain at Juventus and end his career with the team. Even though he's not happy at limited playing time, he feels he can still offer plenty in the dressing room and transmit the Juventus DNA to new players. [TS]

Both Sandro and Bellerin as our fullbacks..

I was just certain Alex Sandro was out.. Damn..

Okay sorry, and I agree with what you say there. Also regarding Balo as a rotational player, if we are to part with Mandzukic. Could be worth to try. Generally I wouldnt want us to spend much on any forward/wingers, as I dont see a need, compared to midfield and defense. However I feel we could make our attack much more efficient with a simple striker with abilities on headers and movement. I feel Higuain is not what we need anymore. Dzeko right now would be perfect for us.

 

[enzo]

Makes zero sense

Absolutely. Why not sign Bellerin right away (assuming we want him) and then get Digne, should Sandro leave? Or better: if Sandro doesn't have the intention to stay get Digne no matter what.

 

[juve103423]

Makes zero sense

Makes a lot of sense? If Sandro leaves (and Asa) we got no LBs. However id still consider upgrading RB even if Sandro stays.

Thats what I call a freeloader. Not too happy about not playing, but as long as he gets his salary then he'd be pleased to hang around. Is that the ambitious Juve DNA we wanna pass on?

 

[enzo]

But it makes no sense not to just go in for Digne. Go in, start negotiations, seal the deal. Don't wait too long as we always tend to. That's probably what @Xperd means.

 

[Wittl]

No, it makes zero sense. Why shouldn't we push for a RB like Bellerin, if Sandro leaves and we get a LB replacement like Digne? Zero sense. The RB case just doesn't depend on Sandro.

 

[juve103423]

So we go buy a replacement before we know if we are gonna keep our starter? Sandro leaving might mean more money and more reason to upgrade the defence.

 

[Robee]

Bellerin is not an upgrade... He's just a headless chicken.
