Am I the only one who feels any mercato where SMS isn't bought will be a huge missed opportunity. He would be a huge jump in quality from both a physical and technical perspective

I hear you mate!

A couple of days ago I said that investing 100 m to sign SMS can potentially be a zero/very low risk investment. Someone didn't like my post, apparently it was fine with them to splash 90 on Higui but 10 m more on such a highly talented player is very risky. Other teams had spent and will spend more on young talents especially with the Messi/Cristiano era coming to an end, everyone is in pursuit of the next big thing. We already have Dybala, which is great because he still has a lot of room to become unstoppable. I've got a good feeling about Caldara, he can become the best Italian defender. As for the midfield, we lost Pirlo, Vidal and a great young talent in Pogba who we should have replaced with another young talent (not Sturaro), now have Pjanic, Matuidi and Khedira while Marchisio is on the bench. We used to have the best midfield in Europe... Maybe no one matched Pogba's profile back then but now and this year SMS came up huge, you must be blind if you can't see his talent, he's simply something else. Nonetheless, Beppe will spend over 100 m on average players like Darmian, Cristante, Politano, etc.

Wat? Are you telling me Marotta don't consider Darmian good? Then there's no reason to sign him.

(Your theory about doing United a favour seems rather lacklustre; one year left on his contract, low salary, not a drama queen)

Marotta considers Darmian an opportunity. Good is a different perception in Marotta's eyes. Imo he thinks Darmian can do the job(be it a cover or defending RB) for cheap ass money, making him one of the better values on the market. But I don't think he knows less about football than you or me.

Not to mention he said himself that we need players of technical quality. If Darmian is that we might as well sign Fellaini on a free too.

Could Darmian BECOME a cheap version of Licht? Maybe, but he currently is not.

I think Darmian will do fairly well with us. I mean if De Sciglio can do a solid job , so can he. And he's better than De Sciglio in my view.

Sorry but average is average, no one is better than the other, C+ is not better than C. Like it was mentioned above, Marotta sees him as a market opportunity and as long as he does the job like the likes of Peluso, Padoin and Sturaro did, he's getting him for sure.

He's nowhere near as bad as the aforementioned players. He was one of the best fullbacks in Italy before Man U purchased him. De Sciglio meanwhile was just 'potential' and we've got him to play solidly for us. Darmian would be an upgrade over Licht and Asa for me.

What is this gibberish?

An explanation on why we might be interested in Darmian.

The problem in short is that, like @Xperd said we have MDS who does an adequate job against Seria A fodders. Is he good, I will let you answer that. Having two of those is useless, especially if Cuadrado is going to be the offensive RB.

Got it now?

Yes, if we can get Darmian from Torino.

Darmian from Manchester is worse then De Sciglio.

 

[Xperd]

Darmian from Manchester is worse then De Sciglio.

De Sciglio from Milan(of the last couple of seasons) was a Molinaro tier fullback for them

Oh he's not bad, he's just average. I think Asa is better than all of them combined, actually I'm kinda gutted that we're losing him and for free and to who... to the mierda.

La Stampa - Juventus on pole for Pellegrini

You are still babbling.

You claimed our management don't consider Darmian to be a good player, that is [in all lieklihood] wrong.

No one considers him good. They think he might turn out good and he is undervalued asset that could be used in any transfer.

At least everybody knows who it's not gonna be

We're getting Darmian simply because he is cheap. 10-13m €

Anyway dreams aside I know how this mercato will end up.
Dunno who or how but we'll end up with a +30 in the overall.

No.

Firstly you don't save money by spending money, so it would be cheaper to not sign him at all. Secondly we are rumoured to offer a 5 year deal and doubling his salary.

This point towards Marotta rating this guy to be good enough to start a notable amount of games for Juventus; he is either gonna be a starting right back or first choice backup at both backs.

The nonsense of us doing United a favour, so we can later sign a better United leftover is utter hilarious pseudo theorycrafting of the feeble minded.

 

[Badass J Elkann]

Just out of curiosity what’s a waste gash

A crude insult for another shit to average player

He won't be getting 5m/year... That's just jibberish journalism.

Trust me, it's also because we consider Darmian a player that could represent us in the nazionale...

Beppe pretty much cleared up everything there was to know in his latest interviews, all this links to mediocre italians are more or less part of a greater scheme of things, an scheme aimed at building an new italian core in the team.

And with the money we donate to them they get to sign SMS and other targets of ours...

We should establish Bayern-esque relations with Man U. Could be our go-to shopping destination if some of their(talented) players flop. If that'd mean we'd have to buy that odd Dumpian to make this relationship more fruitful , then so be it.
