O’Riley is a good player, but I agree with the comparisons to Koop, very similar profile, so I’d be cautious about signing him (which is why I don’t buy the rumour).

Not sure if Kessié has left his Saudi club, but I’d gladly take him for our midfield. I’d also go for Laporte, he would instantly improve our defense. I get that we need sales before we buy, but at Comolli’s pace, the transfer window will close before he even completes one.

TBH i rather he signs nobody than start panic buying just for the sake of buying.
I personally rather break the bank for one single player that is guaranteed quality and can truly improve us in his position rather than wasting another 100mil on multiple mediocre players that will end up serving only as depth, which i feel we have plenty of already.

But tbh i feel like we tried something of that sorts last year with Koop and Douglas Luiz that were our most expensive signings and turned into flops while the cheap bargain move for Thuram turned out great for us…

Not even sure what is the way forward anymore, but i also rather us not buy just for the sake of buying.

exactly. signing one bad contract just to replace an already existing bad contract isn't necessarily the way forward
I'd argue we've improved if we solely buy Kolo Muani too. He performed well and was only with us for a few months.

Not as much as we'd like but some stability will help, as well as adding David, Bremer and Cabal. We also have a number of young players who are on the road of improving like Yildiz or Thuram.

Ofc everyone is hoping for some fresh blood but we shouldn't force anything. Only buy (and sell) when the opportunity to really strengthen is there. Otherwise we should at least be good enough for the bare minimum again.

Our transfer plans are dead in the water without sales. How the hell are you supposed to offload multiple players and bring in signings in just a couple of weeks? Not if you’re actually trying to do quality business.
First of all, Juve desperately need to find a way to withdraw some dead wood. Gonzalez, Kelley, Milik, Vla, Luiz and fucking Arthur. We pouring money down the drain for paying them.There are plenty of players on the list as dead wood but either no one is interested in them or they are not willing to leave(reluctant to accept offers from mid level clubs or ship to oil clubs.). Selling Vla and Luiz would bring balance in the finance. There is almost a month left until the transfer window closes(close on Monday, Sept).
We drastically need to upgrade on some departments if we are going to being contender in 2 main competitions which i don't see happening. Just two additions and the process is now collapsed. My prediction for the new incomers is Okoro and Oriley. If I want to being optimistic and think positively, we manage to sign Mauni in the final days.

Kolo is way too inconsistent and poor in front of goal for me. He is a good striker and a very useful team player. If we want the striker to score goals though, I would perhaps look elsewhere given he will not be cheap either.

There will be some movement soon. The transfer window is nearing the deadline which will motivate some clubs/players to lower their demands.

Nevertheless, I would not force anything just for the sake of making some moves. It would take a miracle to make us title contenders so let's just try to somehow use the players we have.

Maybe with Bremer and Cabal back the defence will improve, Yildiz, Thuram and Chico could further improve, hopefully Luiz and Koopmeiners will regain at least 30% of their former selves and we'll be up for an incredible fight for the 4th spot again.

My only wish this mercato is Raoul Bellanova from Atalanta (RWB), those Italjuve, strong wingback on both side. Adequate backup for both side (Joao Mario and Kostic) maybe if we can, we should sell Kostic and get a player that can cover both side (like Cambiasso for more depth)

Balerdi from OM, if we can sell Kelly to EPL, we need to keep freeing space if we want to improve and get new player. Cabal on loan probably if we buy another CB

If we cant sell Douglas Luiz, maybe we should consider to loan him back to Aston Villa, so he can regain confidence and form. Or integrate him so he can regain form, then selling McKennie or Miretti will be unavoidable to get some $$ to cover expenses

Vlahovic seems no other option for us, his situation really bad for us financially, and we dont have room to explore other solution with him

If that’s your only wish, I shudder to think what your 4th or 5th wishes would be.

Alvin #Okoro is arrived in Turin: he is going to J Medicals to have medicals this aftenoon at 2pm. Then he will sign the contract with #Juventus until 2030 (1+4). The forward (born in 2005) will debut tomorrow with #Juve Next Gen. #transfers

Liverpool are going after Leoni.
So we moved on from having the best defense with clear Italian core defense to not being able to sign players from Bologna and Parma?!
But its ok.. we are signing players from Newcastle`s bench...

We should try and bring De Light back on loan.
Honestly with the names we are linked.. I`d take it.
