Man Utd are ready to sacrifice Pogba to get their targets
"And the English daily claims that he would be ready to use Pogba as a bargaining chip in any deal done with Real Madrid, Juve or Verratti’s club Paris Saint-Germain." FI
Pogba for A.Sandro?! Sure it would be great but I doubt Man Utd are going to make such a move..
The only way they do swap Pogba IMO is if they go for Verratti and even then I expect them to go for Verratti while keeping Pogba..

My problem with Darmian is that he offers basically nothing going forward. He is solid and dependable defensively, but a fullback for a club like Juventus should be a two-way monster like prime Lichtsteiner.
Ok, this not a first time I see this on tuz, so I wonder when did Licht become an attacking monster? Grinta, heart etc, sure, but an attacking monster.

Hi Guys, here are my thoughts about how summer mercato 2018 should be. Please tell me what u think.

Step 1:
Keep all key players

Step 2:
Höwedes out --> Caldara in
Lichtsteiner out --> Spinazzola in
Sturaro out --> Mandragora in
Khedira out --> Can in
Mandzukic out --> Pjaca in

---------------------------------------------- Till there 0 millions spend, some millions earned

Step 3:
Splash the cash on one of SMS/Pogba/Verratti (/Fabinho)

Step 4(optional):
Sell Marchisio (if he wants to go)
Loan out Bentancur

Step 5(optional):
Buy one of Barella/Pellegrini/Cristante (this step becomes mandatory if we cant get Can)

Step 6(optional):

Get Balotelli/Kean as 9 Backup

Step 7(optional):
Get Darmian as RB/LB Backup

Step 8:
Win treble :nico:

Licht in his prime was good going forward, not as good as Zambro, but he was still very dangerous.
There is quite a gulf between Licht and Zambrotta, fuck Zambrotta btw, but he was light years ahead of Licht in every aspect.
Licht was a loyal servant, and no doubt a Juve legend, but his ceiling is Seria A, I don't see a reason to sugarcoat it.

Why sell Mandzukic when he gives his heart every single game.. He is our best LW at the moment and Pjaca is certainly not an upgrade over Mandzukic..
as for Balotelli I`d like us to get him as a rotation player - Could play LW as well as a sub for Higuain
Also we can use Bentancur so why loan him?

Mandzukic is 32 and not a winger. Also we have Dybala, Costa, Cuadrado, Bernardeschi (and Pjaca) for 2 spots next to Higuain. I like Mandzukic but he is not the future.

Benatancur loan is optional, as Allegri doesnt seem to use him.

Maybe not his prime position but it is where he plays for us...

Looks like Asabob to inter is a done deal

and even though i hate the fact that its merda, he's getting a great salary off of them for his last contract, so I'm just gonna view it as win for double agent asabob

I would keep Mandzukic, but in what world is he a better LW than Costa?

Juve target Milinkovic-Savic? | Football Italia

It is reported that Juventus are planning a summer transfer bid for Lazio’s Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.

The highly-rated midfielder is said to be the subject of interest from leading clubs around Europe, with Manchester City, Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain all keen on the Serb’s services.

And Tuttosport claim the Old Lady have now added their name to the list of the youngster’s admirers, with the Italian daily stating Milinkovic-Savic is their top target for the close season.

However any deal could be complicated by several factors. It is likely that the player would cost in excess of €100m, given the vast wealth of Juve’s fellow suitors.

In addition, doing business with Lazio President Claudio Lotito would not be easy. In the event of having to sell his star asset, the Biancocelesti patron is likely to prefer the option of letting the 23-year-old move abroad.

I would keep Mandzukic, but in what world is he a better LW than Costa?
D.Costa IMO is our best player - With all respect to Dybala - D.Costa is always there and always play well - When both on form there is no doubt Dybala is our best but overall I`d say D.Costa shows more during games..
Now if you take the 4-2-3-1 at fill it with our best options (everyone healthy) I`d say its Buffon-Back four-2 midfielders - Mandzukic Dybala D.Costa; Higuain with Cuadrado getting the RW spot and D.Costa goes left as 2nd choice
I was one of those who said D.Costa is a great player and I would love him to come to Juve and Im happy to see he is doing great with us.

Selling Mandzukic is stupid unless a 50M offer arrives then it is impossible to resist it as Mandzukic isnt 18 year old and we can get a very good player for that sum... I dont think anyone is going to pay that much for Mandzukic despite him proving he is worth that kind of money..
IMO Mandzukic will leave when he feels he isnt needed anymore which will be in 2 years +- and it will probably be on a free transfer to China or something like that..
