De Sciglio I could understand renewing as we need some back up and he’s quite versatile. Apart from his calamitous performance last night he’s looked ok this season.

Berna on the other hand. They guy is an absolute disgrace, he’s completely failed to live up to the fee paid for him or his salary. Why would we even be entertaining renewing him? I’d rather bring Simone Pepe out of retirement. He has no end product and fails to deliver in every game he plays, there are so many players in his position that are better than him.

We have such a major rebuild to do this summer in a lot of positions. Tapping into the list of free transfers there are some players here that would be interesting: https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/statistik/endendevertraege

Pogba - for the right salary (concerned by his injury record
Rudiger & Christensen - would be an upgrade but may have missed out
Dembele - sign, we need options out wide while we wait for chiesa
Di Maria - sign for the same reasons as above

Some other names on there would be ok back ups letting us spend some money in the much needed LB/CM/CF area.

You need a benchmark, clear crisp benchmark
We don't need another season of the Italian Jabronis, French piece of shit and the lolzilian pseudo footballers we have pussy-footing and trudging on the pitch. Do you really want to keep fagiot, arturd, turdeski, de shitlio and alessandra for another season? Might as well bring glassmsey back and make him a starter.

I think that first of all we need a top winger to replace Dybala and that should be our first priority going into the next season (RM or LM doesn’t matter because Chiesa can anyway be at his best on either side if needed and for now just rather focus to make sure that the new winger coming in is skilled enough, has goals in him and is without an injury prone history to date).

Second most important in my view atm(which untill recently was actually the absolute main priority) is getting a CM thats comfortable with the ball at his feet and can also dribble progressively, someone with vision that is not primarily a DM which we need to force playing in a box to box role that does not actually fit him. Not sure who that could be but is obvious enough we are lacking a midfielder with those characteristics, seeing young guys like Miretti progressing play with the ball at his feet and trying line breaking passes better than all the ‘experienced’ players that we currently have should be enough reason for reflection by the management, not as if it wasn’t clear enough we were missing such a player for many seasons now…

Last but not least we need to be looking at bringing in some new defenders aswell, at least one more reliable CB needs to come in and fill in the void left by Chiellini, and it needs to be someone that can challenge for a starting spot to keep Bonucci and De Ligt on their toes and not another certified benchwarmer like Rugani, maybe that Gatti kid could be the answer and we can save some funds there instead of having to invest in Bremer or someone else but we’ll probably see how that goes based on market opportunities aswell because even just with him i think we are still a CB too short… also the need for a young back-up RB is also evident enough, we have to bring in someone that we can start preparing for that position for the post Cuadrado era because whenever he misses a game our whole game plan has to change because the alternatives on that position are totally opposite type of players in Danillo and MDS which carry primarily defensive tasks and clearly have an impact on the balance of the team.

Also perhaps a better starting LB should be something surely worth considering too with Pellegrini staying only as the ideal backup but i just don’t see us having the necessary budget to actually change and add much better first XI players on multiple positions in just one summer given that there already are plenty here with high wages that need to be offloaded first so all in all if we at least get a competent starting quality winger along with an better starting quality central midfielder while also keeping Gatti together with Danillo as the other backup CB above Rugani in the picking order while looking at the same time to bring in another offensively oriented LB or RB with good potential to grow then we might actually have ourselves an overall decent enough transfer market given the perceived limited mercatto resources that the club is currently operating under.

But in the last days the bianconeri increased the pressing for Paredes from PSG as the primary objective for the regista role. The Argentinian midfielder can cover more roles and that's why Juve have initiated talks to see if an agreement could be reached.(Tmw)

Belotti is just another spare Italian

So let’s overpay to replace our existing spare striker Morata I suppose. Not sure how this is incrementally better unless there is a balance sheet aspect I am overlooking.

You know what the sad part is?! Even if we were to sign some of the top talents that are young, we wouldn’t use them or play them :lol:
Imagine camavinga in this juve, he’d be coming 3rd to rabiot and 4th to Arthur:lol:

Isn't Belotti a free agent in the summer and has a lower salary than Morata?
