What about others? You think they were already ours?

 

[Juve92]

It's clear that he is up for sale, we should do everything possible to get him. The guy is a fucking beast.

Gatti and Rovella were. They were somewhere else until the end of the year but they were already ours. Plus LB named not Emerson, it makes sense now.

Either way, you get them/return them, you need to make space for them. It's new names regardless, it's reinforcements. I think it's unrealistic to have so many new faces during one summer.

But more importantly: he's Brazilian.

So no.

 

[Paolino]

No way we're gonna get 8 players. Divide that by 2.

6 players.
Molina Pogba Di Maria Kostic Dzeko and a LB.

I think it is possible.We need at least 5-6 new players, we have lost Dybala Morata Chiellini and Berna already and Rabiot, Arthur and Kean are also likely to leave.

On some level, I could agree. Depends on the player. I think a player like Kostic will acclimate to Serie A and Juve very quickly. But definitely agree its very hard to replace 1/3 of the squad seamlessly and not expect early season pains. Which killed us last season.

Man, I actually missed so much stuff

 

[The Quazis]

yep forgot about Mkhi. Onana was essentially sorted out last season.

But see how good it is to have an organised GM who knows how to build a squad and do the majority of main business before pre season starts? That’s how it’s done.

I can only imagine the meltdown here if we signed Mkhitarian, Lukaku and Dybala on big contracts while they all had a shit season and are either nearing 30yo or already passed it.

Yet Juve signing Vlahovic and Zakaria already in January and according to the same sources are very close to Pogba and Di Maria in June is considered lame.

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

Molina(MDS) Danilo (Bon) De Ligt (Gatti) NO EMRSON PLEASE (Sandro)
McKennie (Zakaria) Locatelli (Rovella) Pogba (Miretti / Zakaria)
Chiesa (Cuadrado) Vlahovic (Dzeko) Di Maria (Kostic)

If we can complete this squad by the end of the transfer window, we had an acceptable mercato and the team has made good progress in terms of quality and depth of the squad.

Good but not great.

Midfield still isn’t where it needs to be.

You see that, what I (and most people) see is a team being strengthened in the areas they need before the season even starts. Quick, decisive and clear intentions in what they want for their coach. It’s not a perfect mercato for them, because at the end of the day, like us, they are in the shitty poverty Italian league, but it’s good as they can get. Bringing back a player they sold for 100m a year ago on a 10m loan? Lmaooo you’d be gurgling Cherubini’s balls for that.

 

[Oggy]

Now watch Marotta selling us Dzeko for 15m

 

[kappa96]

Now watch Marotta selling us Dzeko for 15m

The guy that sold prime Vidal for 38 million?
He is probably going to pay us to take him, most likely.

 

[Boksic]

Good but not great.

Midfield still isn’t where it needs to be.

Defence is ropey too. Danilo isn't a CB, Molina is unknown and we badly need a reliable LB.

Wouldn’t shock me.

You talking about Pogs & Di Maria here? Not sure...

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

Exactly. After fixing our horrible midfield, LB should have been the priority position to strengthen but that won’t happen. We’ll stick to the trash we have and hope for best.

Danilo is being massively overrated by a lot on this forum lately.

He’s a good, honest professional, but doesn’t add a lot on the field tbh. Can’t attack, makes the odd fuck uo defensively and is prone to errors. But he’s a likeable guy who seems to love the club so he gets a pass. We really could do better in his position too, but priorities obviously lie elsewhere.

 

[Paolino]

is he any good? Sandro gonna be starter again?
