I'm really curious what Beppe, Pavel & Fabio have in store for us come January. They were disappointed in their summer market so they must have some resources available. Witsel is almost a must at this point and it'll be very hard to swallow if we don't get him or some other CL eligible player. Therefor another midfielder has to go, to fit the team standards in Serie A. And finally the RB question marks must be resolved; continue with Lichtsteiner and reintegrate him in the CL squad or replace him. A new RB in the CL squad also means another omission here. So 2 players must be dropped from the list. Asamoah probably the first.

Vidal 30M Verratti 80M (not selling Dybala) = Perfect mercato
The thing is to fund such a mercato Bonucci will go to City for 80M and we get a free T.Silva - Overall its a huge improvement as T.Silva is as good as Bonucci defensively while Vidal Verratti would be amazing with Pjanic

I don't think they were disappointed per se, but to target Gundogan and Matuidi, and end up with no muscle in midfield was kinda underwhelming. N'Zonzi isn't eligible for the CL, and I'm not quite sure if Witsel is gonna make that much of a difference in Europe, but we definitely need reinforcements if we want to be serious contenders. Asamoah (unreliable), and Lemina (too inexperienced) will be away for 5-6 weeks due to AFCON, and both Hernanes and Stururu aren't good enough. We need someone who can rotate with Pjanic, Khedira, and Marchisio, so they can be fresh for those European nights, and someone who can adequately fill for them in case of an injury or suspension. It's a shame we missed out on Diawara. @Mark rates Bazoer highly, and he'd cost around 20 million. I doubt Atalanta would give us Kessie in January, but we should definitely tie that deal up for the summer.

    it's not like I've seen a lot of games of him to rate him like that but looks promising. We do need some fast moving mids who know what to do with a ball and not be clueless defensively. :tup:

    Please don't mention "Gündogan" and "muscle" in one sentence again.

    I know its more of a fantasy football but if Vidal is available and he wants us back we should go for it as he is twice the player Khedira is
    The drunk idiot made his decision. There is no way back, not even if he comes back crawling. Same goes for Pogba.

    Well Im not in the ego business but in the making Juve the best business so Vidal and Pogba left? yes , Can their comeback make us stronger? Yes! - Pure making us stronger strategy!

    Pogba will not come back thats for sure but as for Vidal Im not so sure about it

    Making us better? Great.

    But not at any cost.

    One left for money and fame, the other one thought Juventus isn't good enough for him. $#@! them both.
    Not at any cost 30M is a good cost so Id take him back - Forgiveness isnt a bad thing especially in this case when Vidal is a clear Juventino
    Pogba - it feels like he is a ungrateful bitch but I do not agree about Vidal
