I'm ok with Can and Cristante if it means goodbye Khedira and that thing parading as a footballer.

Bernardeschi, Douglas Costa, Dybala & Mandzukic all in front of him. He could battle it out with Pjaca & Cuadrado to make the bench. Overrated anyway.

Cuadrado will be starting, especially in CL games, when he comes back.

Players we should look after this summer:
RB - Cant think of names right now only Bellerin comes to mind
LB - If A.Sandro leaves which is probable.. Spinazzola
LB - backup to replace Asamoah
CM - SMS!!! but Id also keep an eye on Allan of Napoli - sometimes it feels that without him they will fall apart. Can is free so I guess him too..
DM - Sub for Sturaro as he is just not good enough to play football
CF - Doesnt has to be a star name but we do need someone in case Higuain is injured and we cant be always Mandzukic dependent.. Han?

Sergej is nothing more than a wet dream, there's no way we will get him. Even if for some miraculous reason we manage to match the transfer fee EPL or La Liga teams offer, Lotito will rather ship him off outside of Italy..

Fair enough. I understand your argument. What has taken place at Juve since AA and BM took over is truly amazing and I guess fans including myself get spoiled rather quickly.

I have always defended the fact that if you want to succesfull long term, you have to be selfsupportet and have your finances in order. However you also have to be willing to make investments in the team, especially in a market were your competitors make hugh investments every summer. Otherwise we are going to be left behind.

You're absolutely right, Dolph. Costa and Bernardeschi were decent investments this past summer (price wise, and for the future). Szczęsny and Caldara were less expensive, but I think they'll also be key players for an extended period in the near future. But it is also important to remember how many of our quality players came in for cheap.

Pirlo (free), Barzagli (300K), Vidal (10.5M), Tevez (something like 9-12M), Pogba (Free), Khedira (Free), Rugani (4.15M) -- 26.95M! (my numbers may be off, but the point stands). Khedira should be phased out now, but all of those guy were or will be important for us.

Juve does need to spend money, but the club also needs to scout well and find important opportunities. Dybala was a huge opportunity, Pjanic was a huge opportunity, Szczęsny and Caldara were solid plays, etc.

I find the excessive criticism of Allegri absolutely ridiculous, and Management has earned some leeway given what they've produced in recent years. Gotta remember the importance of continuity in professional sports. Eventually a coach's message may become stale, but I really don't see that being anywhere near the case with Max at this point.

What annoys me about a lot of the player acquisition discussions here at the moment, is that people are actually getting pissed off and blaming management for transactions that haven't actually happened. All the talk about the Italian mediocrity that we're supposedly bringing in... the daily sports rags in Italy are basically only fit for wiping your butt with. They get something like 98% of their rumours wrong. This isn't exactly an ItalJuve club at the moment, we have plenty of international flavour.

Let's just be patient, and see what management turns up come June. And ffs, let's hope we win every competition possible, because all that does is increase performance based revenue, increase visibility, increase our fan base -- all of which contribute to increasing our budget and thus the calibre of players that the club can buy.

Very well said

However every time i say something like that the typical response here is "big signings" "Win CL" "we are failures" "if only Sarri" "who cares about winning serie a"

seriously does my head in the amount of whingeing and moaning around here
