You can't buy a Rincon at Madrid. If you buy it, not only you lose your job immediately but also interrogated by financial police. To me, if a player can't play in Madrid, he also shouldn't be able play for Juventus.
Neither would I and the reason is a very simple one: at 23 and a season and a half at Juve Dybala has played 44 league games for us and scored 22 goals. For a (relatively) young striker those are excellent numbers. Especially if you consider that Dybala has an incredible impact on the way we play and isn't just about goals.
The trade would still be appealing from a director point of view though. Verratti's talent is undeniable, he's Italian and he's a Juventus fan. If you get Verratti, you get someone who is almost certain to play for this club for the next 10 years and who will be incredibly marketable throughout Italy.
They've had double our turnover since Calciopoli, hardly difficult not to buy big stars each summer. That and they have a bordering-mafia monopoly on Spanish players they send out with buyback options. We have only been able to implement something similar since the end of co-ownerships, and the buyback clauses are not overwhelmingly in our favour like Real Madrid somehow have in Spain.

We are already the most popular and supported club in Italy, and that's why we also need to invest in high quality foreign talent. That's why I am all for the purchase of James. He's an amazing player and incredibly marketable.
Nah. Atleast surely Allegri wouldn't. Unless we plan on playing a diamond, that midfield three would be the softest we've ever had never mind the skill and technique.
We should make signings based on what we need imo. A physical beast is what we need primarily.

We signed Rincon of Genoa.
Witsel signed with a Chinese club for big bucks.
Gagliardini close to inDa.
L. Gustavo, Tolisso[cup-tied], N'Zonzi[cup-tied] are other mids linked to us. Verratti too for the summer but don't believe that.
It's beyond me why we didn't even try to get him when he was free. Funny thing about that article is that we paid friggin 11 mill for hernanes and inda are acting like little bitches over brozovic who the wanted to sell in the summer but not to us. such a pathetic club
Not really. He had Lemina. We also were close to sign Witsel whos adding very little physicallity.
But this is also the coach that whenever he can states that we need to improve our technical level. Verratti, while doing exactly that to our midfield, doesent bring any decrease is the physical aspect compared to now, so there is nothing to suggest Allegri wouldnt do it
