We dodged a bullet. Van de Beek is no Juve-material.

Don't let Mark and Cerval see this.

I'm a bit annoyed by it as well but Pirlo gas liked this kid since he was playing at nyfc saw him play a few times so I'm gonna hold off judgement till I see this guys play

do you honestly believe Pirlo has a say in our transfer strategy?

Yeah and if you don't your not paying attention. There is a reason Pirlo was chosen because he looks at juventus like Agnelli. He's not a puppet

It really angers me that Man U are signing Van De Beek for £40m and we signed Weston McKennie for 28m...

Well it shouldn't. Man utd has more than 200 mil. in revenue every year, than us.
They can pay cash, we can't, end of story.

Edit. They can afford to splash the cash and remain mediocre for what, 8 years.
US instead, 2 bad Mercato windows and we are looking at a financial disaster.

Sounds like United material.

He's also not a similar player to McKennie, just because he plays in midfield, nor is it a similar transfer deal. Loan plus option/obligation plus variable bonuses is not 40m pounds plus whatever bonuses, fees and salary the chimps at Yanited will pay.

I can promise you that Pirlo had no idea who Weston McKennie was during the time Pirlo was at nycfc.

That's not what he said
The other day he said he saw him play with the us under 23

 

[AndreaCristiano]

So vidal said in an interview that he loves pirlo and he was a genius when he played. If he was to call him he would be happy to return to juve

 

[il brutto]

That's not what he said

Pirlo? I'd like to see that quote because I really doubt he spend much time watching Weston play youth football at the Dallas academy.

He’s a box to box player imo, but for sure is missing the fine technical abilities to be a good attacking force, and definitely doesn’t have good defensive qualities aswel. I like his positioning tho. To me, he’ll reach Ramsey’s level, but nothing more. I like that I don’t have to read his name again on VS, they’ve been hoping to get him since Ajax have beaten us, meanwhile I’m pretty sure that they’ve only seen him playing in those 2 games against us. I rather spent 10m more on Aouar.

It was an interview on tv after the second training day

Well that's not a good start. Lying on his second day at the job

 

[rakib567]

or just a second thought: both buffon and chellini are set to retire next season, maybe romero and perin are kept to replace them

could be. rather get kumbulla from hellas verona and idk if perin wants to be 2nd to szczesny

I always thought he looked a bit awkward and not an Ajax sort of player but thought he was an option simply because he's fairly high profile and affordable and at a club who regularly sells players.

I'm kind of suspecting that he won't "pull up any trees", to use another colloquialism, but United can financially afford to throw money around and away. In a sporting sense they are a chasing team.

Well lets be honest: Conte, Allegri and Sarri had very little to no impact on our transfer strategy. What makes you thing we are giving Pirlo these benefits? Mind you, he has 0 experience in coaching. Are we going to invest millions in a squad with a coach that is unknown and for all we know, might be sacked before Christmas?

I'm not buying that, our squad will be enhanced by Tici and Nedved and Pirlo has to make lemonade out of the lemons we give him

Different relationship. I don't think he's the be all and end all but I believe Andrea let's him into the discussions and weighs his info

I expect Colpi di Mercato this week.
