If he reaches average Serie A striker level we'd be fine. Our current squad is limited to 22-23 players, because we only have Pinsoglio and Rugani (who's only HG for Serie A, not for CL) as HG (17+4+4 rule). Having Kean as 4th striker vs having, I don't know, Cutrone/Zaza/Lasagna, is the difference between being able to register 23 players for Serie A and CL vs 22. We let Coman go too easily, we sold Kean at the 1st opportunity, we gave Spinazzola (granted, he's HG only in Serie A) away. We do persist in keeping Rugani tho I'll give us that. Given how great we are at developing our own talent, we should either retain the ones that make it to Serie A level, even if it means missing out on the one or two plusvalenzas, or we start buying 15-18 year old super talented kids at a excessive rate. If we care about filling out our roster for once that is

You're just handpicking. All those transfers at the time had a reason and enabled us to do other moves and continue you know winning as frowned upon as feeling that way is currently on tuz.

Spina got his chance. HG or not he's just broken.
Coman we were never going to start building wing based formation all of a sudden around the dude and it was a combination of picking a good talent on a free and fucking back with PSG after the whole Verratti fiasco.
Ruganis happy to stay with a wage bump although now that doesn't sit well with tuz financial experds.
Kean got big headed and orchestrated his move so we shafted everton in the process. Now him taking up same spot in two competitions sounds fine and all but will it translate to same advantage with his actual input on the pitch? Even with a limited role given his confidence is completely shattered, he will have it much more difficult this time around and us in experimenting phase don't think can babysit anyone here.

Rugani earns 3M a year and hes not worth half of that. Id be happy to stay as well in hia situation. You say Spina is broken, but we keep this dude for 5 years. Spina did better in the few games he played than Rugani ever did. And all we thought about was plusvalenza.

Coman played for us in a front 2 as well as in a front 3. He started our 1st 2 games of the 15-16 season just before he left. Building around him was not required, Bayern didnt do that either, just give him playing time (which would have happened had he stayed) and pay him. We bought Pjaca from Croatian League a year after he left, and we only started playing a wing formation half a year later, on a whim from Max.

Kean ill give you, Raiola is his agent and they seeked a move to play regularly. But Everton was terrible, they had 2 young strikers already and i doubt they had intention to give starter level playing time to a 19 year old foreign kid (it could also be that they just wanted a big contract which we rather didnt want to give, and used playing time as excuse). They fucked up on that, but if it gives us a shot to take him back, we should. Surely he can get 1000 minutes here as well

Im giving these as examples, since they are the most prominent ones. But what im saying is the general policy should change. Keeping players beyond their expiration date on big wages, while cashing in on young ones (often HG), is not a sustainable project

 

[Bianconero81]

I have nothing against him and I don’t consider the hate he and Nedved get warranted but I am too afraid of @Bianconero81 to say it out loud

Maybe he needs to ease up on the yaba @Bianconero81

You gotta make up your mind on Rugani, that's us been trying to keep a HG player as 4th choice who used to look fairly promising.

Bayern didn't have to because Coman already fit their squad. I can barley remember if he played out wide for us, what I vividly recall from a few of his cameos was the 10 minutes run he got at the end of final game where Max played him on the right of 4312. Given those circumstances it's not shortsighted to cash in just because a HG role might kick in next 5 or so years. He's a hot topic again thanks to the goal and how tuz constantly looks for something to bitch but talents like him come in abundance pretty much every season.

And it's not sustainable to just factor in age, we work the market alright if there's an opportunity that meets the criteria we take into account age case in point our very recent swap Arthur with Pjanic. Kean vs a Dzeko ('m not even going to include Jimenez here) is just to big of a drop in quality and what they could offer.

 

[Bianconero81]

Dzeko on a 2 year contract and 5 million wages is ok.

Dzeko on a 3 year contract and 7 million wages, while paying Roma 15+ million?! BIG FUCKING HELL NAW! Unless, there is a 100% guarantee on Zaniolo for next season that is.

 

[Bianconero81]

What the fuck has Icardi ever done in the Champions League? We are talking about a guy who couldn’t even get a sub appearance in the final ahead of Choupu-Moting. He has Neymar and Mbappe feeding him yet his goalscoring record is nothing special.

It amazes me how much you bash Dybala, yet you hype up garbage like Icardi and Bernardeschi.

Unlikable poster likes unlikable players - surprise surprise

The mental midgetry and epic muppetry is next level

- - - Updated - - -

If I were in charge of transfer I'd go balls deep to bring back Vidal on a 3 year deal. We lack a destroyer/tackler, prolific scorer and playmaker in our midfield.. Well Vidal is all those 3 combined in 1. His transfer fee might not be too excessive as Barca wants get rid of him.

Woj
Cuads MDL Bon Alex
Vidal Benta Arthur
Dybala
Dzeko CR7​

With: Danilo, Demi, Chiello, Rabiot, Ramsey, Kulu, Berna and Kean on the bench

Wow. Bonucci starting, Dzeko starting, Turdeski still here, Ramsey still here, and really poor options off the bench.

Another day that us and the media have no idea what we're doing, I love it. Must be annoying for the media that we're not leaking anything at all.

Maybe because the management have no idea what they're doing either

f*ck and his Paredes news.

Fuck Di Farzio.

- - - Updated - - -

Di Marzio said that there’s a possibility that we get interested in Paredes again.

Stay away from Pussyfags FFS! Does Tootsie even watch football. Send scouts to games. Paredes is just a lazy attempt tbh.

 

[U Picciriddu]

definitely more. Better? Nah. Juve haven’t acquired one player since Arthur.

Doesnt mean there isnt any news:

- Paratici in UK; Agresti denied it, GDS and TS were talking about it
- Conversation between Berna and Pirlo; I thought that Momblano already said it days ago, Sky yesterday
- Arthur saga; TS was the only one who kept talking about it
- Matuidi to Inter; GDS was first


Where was Di Marzio on tv last light saying this?

 

[s4tch]

expect some other inflated swap deals to counter this

 

[Amer]

After we terminate his contract I hope he signs for Inter and makes them weaker, hahaha.

 

[The Quazis]

He has no shame.

 

[lgorTudor]

Jovic or rebic? Pick one, go

Jovic

Rebic excels more in counterattacking football when there is space

 

[Amer]

How about fuck them both. Dzeko too.

 

[DAiDEViL]

Jovic

Rebic excels more in counterattacking football when there is space

But i want that Rebic grinta.

- - - Updated - - -

Wow. Bonucci starting

Of course.

 

[Nzoric]

Would love either of them here. Preferably Jovic - his talent is out of this world. Rebic would still improve us many times over.

 

[GarfielD]

Jovic has a piece of shit caracter though.

After being left out of the starting line-up for Serbia’s 4-2 loss to Portugal in September, it's believed Jović refused to participate in their second fixture of the international break and returned to Spain, putting his decision down to injury.

Yet four days later, Jović appeared in Real Madrid’s LaLiga tie against Levante.

After breaking Serbia’s coronavirus rules by returning to Belgrade, Jović has again faced a sizeable public backlash in his homeland. Despite being required to self-isolate, the 22-year-old was photographed in public just days after flying back. This brought widespread criticism upon Jović with the Serbian President and Serbian Prime Minister publicly shaming the striker.

There's even a chance Jović could face judicial punishment in his homeland for breaking the rules. Serbian team-mate Aleksandar Prijović was placed under house arrest for three months following a similar infringement.

 

[Akshen]

btw we are all talking about Dest for RB, but why not try to replicate Demiral move and buy Muldur from Sass? He looked so good vs us.

No thanks. Get Dest

 

[DAiDEViL]

I trust the dutch and Ajax fans more when they say he's a meh player.
