With Costas injury, Bernardeschi has another chance to redeem himself, but in reality, he's a player that can be sold this summer. His possible inclusion in a deal for Milik is held up because of his image rights, after he signed a deal with Roc Nation. [Corriere Torino]
Depressing. Bertha is trash, but Milik is far from an exciting name.

i'm afraid arthur isn't physical and dynamic enough to solve our basic midfield issues. he's talented as fuck indeed, but he couldn't even bench ageing vidal. that swap with pjanic is purely financial, and his costs will be balanced out with some similar deals. technically he'll be a squad player if available.

ramsey will be very hard to offload. nobody would pay his salary.

i also think we need an other quality cm. if napoli would cover the osimhen deal by selling fabian ruiz, we should be all over him. i'd rather overpay for him than for milik.
Arthur was played out of position at barca.
He is a regista, not a box to box mid.
If he comes here he will play regista with benta and rabiot in front.
Ramsey and matuidi/other mid off the bench.

Can someone explain to me what these image rights consist of, and what is the point of buying those from bernie ?

Apart from seeing him in an Always advert for urine leakage, which company wants to associate its image with such a mediocre "player" ?

He was mentioned as taking over a role with Italy, probably why they asked. Seems that Mancini is not fond of the idea...

Probably best to kill two birds with one stone and get Lippi on board here rather than ruffle feathers when Italy have actually got it right.

In all seriousness we are having a major Tuz meltdown as of late

It's been a really tough year, leaving the coach discussion out of it

Despite all the bashing paratici has gotten it has to be said

He has given us the best young defender in world football and another young CB that looks to be another star. Our center backs are set for the next decade. We need a better starting right back that's for sure but they are tough to come by.

Getting Kulu was a great signing, we hopefully have another star in the making.

If we can get rid of Marottas deadwood and add Zaniolo and maybe a Locatelli or a more physical mid type and our midfield is set if all things work out.

A young striker and Pellegrini back from his loan and we are good to go IMO

I agree 100% !

Everyone around was happy (including me) when he signed Rabiot and Ramsey , but little i knew Ramsey is average player , and it took almost 6months for Rabiot to settle.

De Ligt / Demiral were 10/10 .

If he can sell Ramsey,Costa,Khedira and sign Locateli,Zaniolo I would be happy.

Couldn't care less about Italy NT. Why we are bringing Lippi again? To do what?
Some of us do support the Azzurri, such as myself and Salvo (who I was replying to).

I've only seen him linked to a job with Italy as a 'technical director', it's a supervisory role, but I've no idea what that is supposed to mean in the sporting sense. At Juve maybe it would give a hand to someone like Nedved.

To me Lippi is a coach, when you start talking about these roles it suggests stepping on the toes of other people.

That's what worries me. Lippi is a coach, and was a great one. That being said he is not renowned to be a professional sporting director, and we already have a guy who became a director without prior experience in Pavel. So that's double trouble.
