Aaron Ramsey will stay. He is on a lot of money, with a good contract, so it would be difficult to find another solution, he is not the one Juventus want to sell. [Di Marzio]

Higuain: "MLS? A lot of players go there, it would be nice yes, but now I'm here. Let's see what happens."

It's possible that Juventus will try for Suarez with offering him a 2-year contract worth €3m/yr. [TuttoJuve]

Juventus will sign 2 strikers if Higuain leaves the club. The future of Dybala is still unclear. (Sportitalia)

Arsenal are asking for €50m to sell Alexandre Lacazette (29), according to reports.
Great. We want to keep a broken midfielder, but are unsure about our MVP. Seriously, fuck those journos, and fuck our club if they are even entertaining such garbage.

It really shouldn't be that hard to establish who needs to stay, who should leave, and who should be given one last chance.

Turdeski, Raguni, De Shitlio and the like have no business wearing this jersey anymore.

Costa, as impactful as he can be, is too injury prone to truly make an impact. It's a shame because he's unplayable on his day, but that's once every blue moon. I can understand sacrificing him because he can bring in decent coin.

Why are we trying to sell Sandro, the only real FB we have who's actually quality? :boh:

Khedira and Higuain will be problematic to dispose of, but they should, in all honesty, be fucked off.

Ramsey should probably be sacrificed as well, but our retarded decision to give him a big fat contract (surprise surprise) probably means he'll be hard to move. Great vision by our "competent" management there.

Suarez fir 3M a year will be great but he isnt going to reduce his salary to 3M...

- - - Updated - - -

@Fr3sh you still want Suarez?

On those terms id do it, if barca take Higuain in a straight swap. Make it so both are ~18M and done deal it
Suarez might be leaving and Higuain is the one they target - I really doubt it..

If the alternative is Milik, do u guys really see a point in replacing Higuain? Will Milik be any better than Pipita?
Khedira should leave 100 % but if we have such a weak alternatives to Higuain then it would be better to stick with him.
We should also concetrate on the guys who can brin us some $, like Rugani, Perin, MdS.
For my liking players like Berna and DC can stay, maybe Pirlo will be the manager who finally tries Berna as CM and not only talk about it. DC if injury free is a starter for us too.
In this case all we would need is a big name for mid, which our team is crying for.

Personally I like Higuain. He was the least of our problems before we signed Ronaldo. Had great fighting spirit, scored goals and linked up very nice with Dybala.

He has underrated football skills imo. Good first touch, can hold the ball and most importantly he can shoot with both feet.

He’s really the guy who needs to have a important role on the pitch, and with Dybala and Ronaldo around him, it ain’t happening as they are clearly a lot better than Pipita. He’s also not the type of player who will change the game after 65 minutes, as he isn’t very tall and doesn’t have a great physical presence. So no bench option.

Besides that he gets insane wages, and he is the type of player who’s getting weaker by the year. Doesn’t keep himself in good shape, and although he is not fat, he doesn’t have a athletic body either.

Mentally we killed him and Juventus hasn’t been totally fair to him, but his days with us are really over. Apparently he’s okay with waiting out his last year, even though he wouldn’t play that much, and it’s saying a lot of his ambitions. We should definitely look to young and more hungrier players.

Agree with all u wrote, the problem is - the only way to get rid of Higuain is to rescind his contract and in this case we will still be forced to pay his wages tho. In this case i dont see a point in doing this and buying Milik at the same time.

It’s indeed the most expensive option. Maybe with some luck a MLS club wants a loan and pay some of his wages.

But even if nobody wants to loan him, at this point I’d still release for a simple reason: as long as we have Higuain we can’t try for any other attacker. First sell/release, than buy/loan.

We’ve been cooking the books for years, avoiding every loss we could make, this one we should take.

Bernardeschi/Milik seems off, so I’d be angry with every penny we pay for him. I want Jovic.

Nah, you can't simply rescind Higuain. Giving him up on a loan I could understand but that will be difficult too.

Besides, most names that are mentioned, aren't even that exciting. Instead of spending the cash and losing even more by rescinding his contract, it's better to focus on the midfield. We're stuck when it comes to the attack, so there's no point in forcing things now. Better focus on midfield, it should be #1 priority anyway.

Higuain weight 89kg , 184cm height. While Benzema 81kg, 184cm both 32 years old

- he need to cut his weight to 80kg first, if he really want it this can happen only in 1 month
- renegotiate his salary
- keep him 1 year
- sign Milik for free next year
