Seeing the young talents of other clubs, I wonder what Juve scouts are doing.. don't they feel embarrassed ?
Not sure what you're on about. We scout loads of good youngsters. Just because they perform well for Genoa or other lower Serie A team doesn't necessarily mean they're good enough for us.

Yeah.. they are good players.. but name one player that became one of worlds best in their positions?! No need to say that is still playing.

Messi, Iniesta, Xavi, Pique, Fabregas, Pedro... etc
Not all are worlds best.. but they are all very good players.


Maybe its not the scouts.. maybe its the academy.


Anyway, I dont remember one player who is a Juve Product that is world class (except Marchisio)

Its partially due to the primavera level being so piss poor, and the FIGC not allowing second teams like they have everywhere else. Having a second team would allow us to keep all our promising stars and play them regularly against decent opposition, instead of them playing against D-level kids in a patchy pitch behind a strip mall. Right now we have a million kids on loan which is not that good of an arrangement either.

Juventus beeing used by Sanchez's agent for an extention with release clause so he can move to a big club again next season


Juve to swoop for Sanchez?
By Football Italia staff

It is reported that Juventus are interested in launching a bid to sign Arsenal’s Alexis Sanchez.

The Chilean international joined the Gunners in the summer of 2014 and has a contract at Emirates Stadium until 2018.

However, English media report that the 27-year-old is playing hardball over extending his deal in North London. He is said to want to see evidence that the club are serious about challenging for major honours again, with Arsene Wenger’s team having failed to win the Premier League since 2004.

According to Daily Express, the player’s agent is pushing for a release clause to be inserted into any potential new deal, something Arsenal are not keen to do.

Manchester City are named as the favourites to make a move for Sanchez, but Juve are also said to be monitoring the situation with interest

Sanchez will mean we are changing to 4-3-3 or that Dybala is going to be sold - I doubt we are going to get him after we got Higuain so its either Dybala being sold or its media crap... probably what you said - his agent is using us to get a release clause

I don't think we're getting him, but we literally didn't spend a penny of our own transfer budget in the Summer, the money is there.

Dybala cannot play in a 4-3-3 so we arent doing that shit.

Its a silly rumor that just means the player's agent wants to have his wish for the extention, thats all

The budget for the season has been made, so no, it isnt.

For next summer, we allready are spending 45+20 = 65 mil for Higuain part 2 and Benatia's redemption.

We're also receiving the Pogba fee in chunks too if reports are to be believed, so yes there is money. But of course we're not looking to spend it if we don't have to.

If you think after adding up our sales and purchases, that we're flat broke then you are severely underestimating our financial situation. All in all our net spend was fucking zero. And 17M for Benatia in the Summer assuming he makes an impression here is not an issue.

If we consider than our starting midfield is Pjanic - Marchisio - Khedira, Pjanic playing as the attacking oriented midfielder, Marchisio the deep lying one and Khedira the box to box one, we need adequate replacements for Pjanic and Marchisio. Lemina and Sturaro are enough for covering the box to box role. However, we have none to be the Pjanic or the Marchisio rotation/backup.

I remember Asamoah being decent going forward. He was moving quite well and doing some nice 1-2s. I even remember a nice goal in CL after a combination with Tevez. Whatever he used to be, he isn't anymore though. The current Asamoah offers little to nothing. No creativity, no moves, not even stability. And yes, Witsel would be gold right now.

Also, we need a proper deep lying play-maker to be Marchisio's sub and maybe take over someday. Pjanic is totally wasted there. How's Tielemans doing these days?
