You are crying, you.


Mercato is open to late September. Today is 6th June. Getting young domestic talent like Kumbulla and Kulusevski (an Albanian and Macedonian, a first for Juve) are easy to do smart operations.

Getting key upgrades for tough to find CMs position is defenitely way harder and takes more time (more competition for signings, more cost, teams less likely to sell immediately etc), especially when we are still in middle of season. So far in top leagues no major deals has happend except Werner. Much easier to make more modest youngster signings.


Plus need to get rid of some dead weight to make literal space for new midfielder. First to go should be Rabiot because unlike most this dude should still have a market (Pjanic most profitable but we seem only to want trades for him, honestly prefer keeping him compared to names mentioned).


Wether we are working on Pogba, Auoar, Tonali or other top mid choices we dont know yet, it will be an operation that will take time, alot of funds and will require us selling CMs first. We have 7 or 8 of them (including Mandragora too).



It should be common sense why new top CM isnt signed in 6th June middle of season, with a midfield filled with names we need to get rid of before making deals.
For Auoar, I could imagine it being something like a 2year loan worth €20m(10m a season) and an obligation to buy for €30m. That would be ecstasy!
Rumours have it, Auoar has his eyes on Turin..

So excited about this player. Juve should have bought him in January when his price tag was 15. And back then he refused Inter (saying he will decide in june).

WTF is that? I like Kumbulla aka Da Bomb, but why the fuck are we targeting a defender? Fuckin Tootsie.
Kumbulla in albanian means “plum” the fruit.

I read actually 2 year obligation loan for Auoar, and overall value 50m. This makes me excited, not just for him, but who are we prolonging this payment for to sign? Hopefully another big name in midfield?

Yeah the total fee is €50m, I'm just guessing on the details. And I think we'd be lucky to only take €10m from our books this season. Paving the way for Pogba or someone else..

Roma are broke as fuck, we should definitely make that move for Zaniolo this summer. But the problem might be that they want cash from the highest bidder.
Zaniolo should have suitors from several top clubs overseas. But we should gamble on the hesitation over his injury, and the fact we are his preferred destination.

Go all out offensive now on acquiring him. Roma as you say are in 126m net loss for the calendar year, and have 278m in debt. Time to swoop in like vultures.

In Arabic, Kumbulla actually means Bomb :D

I think Zaniolo wants to stay in Italy. I doubt he'd want to go to a pseudo top club a la Spurs or Chlelsea.

Was my first thought over both, especially Alexander, but maybe it doesnt fly in european households lol.



Actually re-reading Conn Igguldens Mongol book series again. First book is all about how young Temujin slowly became Ghengis. I would recommend it.
My next book is Brahms bio so it would be a nice transition to go for the biggest badass in the history of humanity after that.
