What's reasonable in your book? 50-60 million? I don't see him going for less.

<40 mill depending on the salary. Not spending anymore on a striker when we have bigger holes to fill.

The adding stars will probably remain a difficult situation for the next few years but the dismantling stuff must stop now rather than later. We're 2-3 pieces away from being a great team. Keep all the valuable players and we'll be up there next season. Don't see us going far in this CL season. We're clearly not as good as we were last year.

Since adding stars is difficult, we must ensure we don't sell the ones that we have. Players like Sandro, Dybala, and Pjanic have to stay at all costs. Our stalwarts in defense and Mandzukic aren't getting any younger, Higuain probably has 2 more seasons left in him, Buffon is edging closer to retirement, Khedira is unreliable, and we have our fair share of ageing stars and deadwood.

It'll probably have to wait until the summer of 2019 then, after Arsenal fail to qualify for the CL yet again. They're such an irrelevant club

That's the thing. If they actually get rid of Wenger and sign a good replacement, that team should be fighting for a top 8 spot in CL.

But hey.. Brendan Rodgers is rumoured to be on their shortlist for a new manager

We don't have money to sign him maybe Alex sandro sale would fund the transfer budget

I love seeing EPL clubs fail. Sadly, the red cunts of Manchester are quite astute and look likely to remain relevant for the foreseeable future. The only likable EPL top 6 team are probably Spurs, but we're playing them, so they can get fucked.

It's that mediocrity that's literally fucked our midfield without so much as an attempt to fix it

Our only physical midfielder that is actually a footballer is fucking Matuidi. Marchisio and Khedira are both broken and barely average and Pjanic has to play like fucking Vidal which ruins his own game.

But we kept justifying every shit Summer because hey we were still walking the league and "ZOMG WE GOT POGBA AND PIRLO FOR DIRT CHEAP/FREE" well now all of our best midfielders have fucked off or declined and unless we show a bit of ambition and buy SMS or somebody of his calibre the only way from here is down.

Matuidi is a fukkin headless chicken but the only one in midfield that actually does some legwork, and he's almost 31. Time to:

-Send Sturaro to Serie B
-Sell Khedira to MLS
-Relegate Marchisio to Coppa games if hes even fit for them
-Break bank for SMS
-Make Can as Sturaro replacement since he's shet but not hopeless
-Buy another midfield talent like Ceballos
-win treble

Not gonna happen. Our management and Allegri seem to love both The Slothful German and The Accidental Pseudo Footballer, so they're likely to stick around, unfortunately.

SMS is beyond our reach, sadly. Ceballos is probably gonna stay put, or go to the EPL. Can is probably gonna be acquired and he will be deemed our "star" signing in midfield along with a young Italian talent like Pallegrini, Cristante, or Barella.

That sounds nice and all but how about

- Hunt Emre Can for 2 months, he moves to Arsenal on August 23th
- Break bank for Paredes
- Sign mediocre Italian 'talent' for 20-30mil
- Khedira and Sturaro are an important part of your team
- spent 60mil on CM without improving it the slightest

pjanic asks to leave in 2019

 

[Abdo Alzahaby]

amazing performance

 

[MikeM]

I was one of the few that fapped to Paredes in the past but I still don't think he is worth something like 50M.

 

[Abdo Alzahaby]

we ara always late one step ... last summer we should have at least signed Paredes in addition to Matuidi ..now we need him very much after this terrible performance of Khedira ... other season may end with European failure because of this Policy

 

[Maddy]

Why sign Paredes if you have Pjanic :thinking:

Spoiler

Pjanic leaving

 

[Abdo Alzahaby]

he can play cm .. not just Regista

MaxNerozzi "Juve will invest heavily in the midfield this summer "

yeah, that's what should've happened the last 2 summers, but somehow it still hasn't happened. the CM market seems to be very thin the past few years with RM signing all the guys we should be looking at even if they don't need them

 

[Maddy]

MaxNerozzi "Juve will invest heavily in the midfield this summer "

I.e. Juventus will use a bigger part of their allocated budget on their midfield than planned; however it does not mean that they will spend more than planned. Budget will stay intact.

Igli Tare on landing of De Vrij in Vinovo: "With Paratici zero problems: not even for Keita, Milinkovic or De Vrij, who will not go to Juventus even if his name is passed on their table I consider them an example for mentality, working methods: the best of Italian football, yes ".

can you give me an explain why Marotta haven't got in neogitations with De Vrij who is world class defender in a good age and Free agent ?? To keep Relationships with Lazio for possible neogitations for Savic ??

'
Tare is saying that when Juventus/Marotta conduct business i.e. talk to players they wanna sign, they inform the respective clubs even if the players are 'out of contract', that they are in talks with the player/agent. Tare indirectly then says that he haven't heard from Marotta or heard that we aren't interested and that's why he knows De Vrij isn't coming to Juventus.

Calling De Vrij world class He's a good player. But world class is top 10 at a position or thereabout. De Vrij is not top 10.
