I hope we can learn from PSG victory on Champions League. PSG blueprint is to recruit good winger that are good in progressive carries, dribbling in one on one situation, pacey, and good decision making. They played without real ST since Kvara came : Kvara - Dembele - Doue with Barcola and Ramos (only ST) as rotation. It also what Bayern did when buying Olise or Barca with Raphinha - Yamal. We need this kind of players to support Yildiz.

Their MC have a good passing, vision and eyes for goal : Ruiz, Neves, Vitinha (Zemery as Backup) while sold their DM Danilo before.
Fullback is super attacking with Hakimi and Mendes.

And it also break some of Italian coach (Tudor, Conte) belief with old and experienced players. They dare to invest in Pacho, Beraldo as CB to partner Marquinhos (their most old player 31 year). I think most of their average first team player were not older than our team

And they have three really good CM’s who are technical. Two of them highly technical playmakers. We really need someone like Vitinha. Locatelli can never be and Thuram is sort of unique in his way as a b2b. But without someone who can control the tempo, we’re not going to get anywhere. I guess the only player in Serie A I can think of who would be available to fit this role is Adrian Bernabe.

Their CMs are another category. They really have excellent players all over. I don't think it's some crazy philosophy you need to copy. Of course sign all amazing players...

Maybe it's just that these players don't have the respect they deserve. For example Vitinha is an outrageous player

I’m interested in seeing what type of players Comolli/Tognozzi/etc will go after. Comolli talks a lot about younger players, and has built a great system at Toulouse. Tognozzi is responsible for pretty much every young talent that came through next gen recently. I’ve been begging Juve to operate like a smaller club, where they prioritize younger talents before they break out instead of trying to buy expensive players that the richest clubs don’t want.

Give me a bunch of young players and balance it out with some inexpensive veterans that are good in the locker room.

If you can spend close to 500 million over two years, this is easy to achieve.

The new Juventus management, whose official announcement is expected next week, will soon take over the already well-advanced situations regarding the renewals of Gatti (2030), McKennie (2028) and Savona (2030). [Mirko Di Natale]

We spend close to 500 million since 22/23 too

There is no comparison. PSG bought Lukas Hernandez for 80m, Ramos for 85m, Kolo Muani for 90m, Ugarte for 70m.


All flops for them, but it did not create a SINGLE blip for them for how they operate. They just kept spending til they found players that worked out.


While for Juve missing out on single CL seasons sponsorship money absolutely crippled us and hampered us. To the point we had fo sell off our youth talents just to have operating cost to go around.




Its not the same ball park at all.

It's combination of signing great young players, and hiring the perfectly suited top coach for them in Luis Enrique.

Looking at TM figures, PSG have spent 694m in the last 2 seasons. We've spent 722m in 5 seasons (PSG 1 billion in this time). Net spend 580m vs 259m.

I don't doubt we've wasted a lot of money but we're not the same as them. Their wage bill is also more than twice ours. They are City, Chelsea, Madrid tier.

not to defend our clowns, but gyökeres is epl bound, i don't think we've ever had a realistic shot at him
Probably, but I wish we had a better chance because of his price point.

Gyorkeres - ManU/Arsenal/Liverpool/Napoli
Osimhen - Chelsea/ManU
Sesko - Arsenal/Liverpool/ManU
Delap - already went to Chelsea
Cunha- already to ManU
Rodrygo - Arsenal/City?
Mbeumo- ManU
Isak - probably staying

all these players can’t go to the same couple sides so maybe we have a chance, but I’m sure we will spend on Retegui, especially with a “data” guy in charge.

By the way, Frattesi didn’t even player yesterday, lol. He’s another bum I can see us trying to get.
