Handjob is not a special player either. Veiga has upside and potential, but as of today, Handjob is the better player - he's also 6 years older.

Handjob obviously has the experence, but at Veiga's age, he was still plying his trade for some Slovakian Plumbers.
Well, I guess we'd want to perform next season and stop looking at 3-4 years time with every transfer. So it depends on what Veiga will show in the coming months and whether he would like to stay or not ofc.

Otherwise I'm fine with someone older and more proven in some cases (don't know Hancko enough to state anything about him personally). We can't expect to solely buy young guns and perform at an acceptable Juve level any time soon.

I'll predict coming from May-June we'll have weekly reports about having a foot in the door with Newcastle's DS by signing Sir Kelly for 30M

I'd sign him in a heartbeat but isn't this guy going to cost us 60m-ish at the very least?

Okay so I have given up on everything so hear me out. I am getting older by the day. I no longer only care for the results. I want to get entertained. So here is my wish and my request.

Wish: Motta, start playing some ineffective total football. Or get someone else to do it. It is more fun to watch us this season but it's not saying much to be fair.

Request: Get some cheerleaders, some mascots, some comedians (English-speaking) and knock yourself out in the marketing room. Create a chaos of fun. Let the cheerleader cheer their asses off and I couldn't care less if they are good or bad looking. Mascot, just do ya thang. Comedian: You need to have a 120 min routine every week. It's ok to switch with friends. But I need slapsticks or puns every five min. Others can join in with animals doing some stuff. We can have a Zebra enter the pitch every break. When we score we can have a golden retriever retrieve the ball. When opponents score we can let loose a rooster. The announcer/speaker can have quizzes during the game too. Every ten min we put someone from the audience on the big screen and ask them "never have I ever" and then the rest of the stadium must sit/stand. This chaos of fun might even get some opponents loose concentration while our players that are used to "Tak's chaos of fun".

There's so many things we can do and I am not very creative.

Now you will say that his sounds expensive. But I'll tell you. It would offer me more joy and would still be cheaper than signing Kelly.

I'd say his salary is more of a hurdle than the transfer sum.

Am I the only one that doesn’t want Tonali and finds him slightly underwhelming?
Well, I wouldnt mind him but we have so many other positions to fix. Its not worth it.
If we need a mid its the AMC position, someone who can dribble pass and shoot - Koop was supposed to be it but we all see its not the case.

He'd be a welcome substitute for Koop but he ain't moving (I guess) so I'd spent differently too.
He wouldn't even be a substitute for Koop. How much have you watched Tonali? He's B2B, good work rate, relatively fast, tackles well. Isn't really like Koop at all.

Lol... A substitute as in man for man. Not like-for-like. Koop is misplaced at Juve.
