We were willing to talk to them about Pogba though right? Pogba's tweet suggests that.

really?

anyway they didn't get him so they'd be even more mad then.

Priorities:

1) Proper Vice Marchisio. We havent had a good sub for that role since marchisio used to be that sub. This allows us to play 3-5-2 effectively again with and without Marchisio. It also allows us to have somewhat of a formidable 4-3-1-2 with Pjanic behind the striker and Khedira- Marchisio - whomever behind him. (VERY URGENT SIGNING)
2) CAM who ideally can also play LW like Draxler. This allows us to play a very powerful 4-3-1-2 as a main formation, with that new CAM behind the strikers and Pjanic,chisio,khedira/vice marchisio behind him. It also allows a very formidable 4-3-3 or 4-4-2 with Cuadrado and that LW on the wings. Pjaca as sub for either.

Could also be a guy on the RW too like *wait for it* James.
Cuadrado plays RW on the national team and James plays left. They could definitely swap too with Cuadrado playing LW at Fiorentina and RW at Porto, and Real Madrid. James can play CM very effectively too (as a Mazzala). My preference would be to stick with a back three, but alter the shape to implement a trequartista - 3-4-1-2 with two deeper midfielders, Marchisio and Verratti preferably.

My dream:
-----------------Higuain----Dybala----------------------
-----------------------James-----------------------------
Sandro-----------------------------------------Cuadrado
----------------Verratti---Marchisio---------------------
------Chiellini--------Bonucci-----------Barzagli--------
-------------------------Gigi------------------------------

Yeah the tweet I'm talking about was when he said:
paulpogba����My deepest respect to the clubs who considered having me. Gracias, merci! ����Il mio più profondo rispetto per i club che hanno cercato di ingaggiarmi. Gracias, merci! ����Je tenais à remercier avec respect les clubs qui ont montré de l’intérêt pour m’engager. Gracias, merci! ����Mi más profundo respeto para todos los clubs que han valorado ficharme. Gracias, merci!

Definitely implies French and Spanish interest.

they were interested. We said no so the war is still on.

What we do spend and what we are able to spend are not necessarily the same.

60-80 mill is more than possible for Juve. However we would probably spend that on 5 players instead of 1.

we are spending 70 mil allready, wake up

what a stupid question. of course zach knows our budget

not only is zahc our resident physio therapist, tactical coach, training coach and nutrition expert

but he is also our accounting expert

Hello, my name is Lion

I rotate tires

1+1 = 5

 

[Nejc]

We would only pay like 20-30 million of James (for example) price next summer too.

 

[Cerval]

Marotta also said that we werent selling Pogba in the first place.


lets not be peasants

Nedved said that with the growth of our revenue, we'll be able to afford big money purchases a la Higuain more often in the future.

Higuain : 45 mil
Benatia : 20 ? mil
Cuadrado : 20 mil


We are allready that much down. Add 80 mil + increased wages to that.


We arent going to spend nearly half our income to transfers Lion

It was 85 mil, i was wrong

So 155 mil in total. + increased huge wages

Which is nearly half our income


we cant afford that

Sorry, I didn't know you meant in addition to what we already spent. I thought we were talking about next summer.

 

[Hist]

1) Witsel can deputize there when he comes. I would also like to see what Mandragora is made of.

2) Pjaca?

1) I havent seen him enough. If he can do it then great. He has to do much better than hernanes/lemina. What people post here about him is that he is not a good distributer of the ball so I dont know.

2) Maybe but he is probably too raw and inexperienced. I doubt he will be good enough to carry our wings especially that our other winger is not a top player either.

I wouldnt pin my hopes on an unknown quality like Mandragora. Buy a first team quality marchisio replacement, and if Mandragora shows that he is substantially better than our bench players (Lemina & Hernanes) then we can give him a shot. Otherwise we might find ourselves again relying on Lemina in chisio's role or even worse.

Who do you think we could get to be that vice Marchisio?

I have no idea tbh. Most of the ones who can play that role are already taken or too young. Fabregas maybe?

 

[HAZEM]

Khedira Veratti Marchisio
---------Pjanic

Khedira shouldn't start for us. such an overrated player.

 

[Catenaccio]

Khedira shouldn't start for us. such an overrated player.

We were all saying how great he was in the first few games. Now apparently he is sh*t. I still think he is a very intelligent player who puts himself in goal scoring positions. His finishing recently has been lackluster. Having said that, if his final shot wasn't brilliantly saved by Donarumma, we would not be trashing him so much.

 

[Orgut]

People here see the last 2 games and forget all the rest...
Khedira is a very good player! He has great movement can tackle can pass well (not Pjanic well but still well) + He is an intelligent player!
Is Khedira as good as Vidal - obviously not but he is still very good!
Would I want him in my ideal Juve starting 11?! No! but its not because he isnt a great player its just because I want a certain level in our team which we fail to achieve year after year!
For example - Delle Ali and Saul are players who Id like to see here (Verratti is an obvious choice of course)
Actually as good as Pjanic is I`m not sure Id want him as a starter in my ideal Juve - but then again my ideal Juve isnt going to happen anytime soon so.. Khedira and Pjanic are both fine!
Verratti - He will add a lot
James - If he is available we should snap him up!
Isco - very good player which can help the whole team rise but he seems like a player that reached his cap and wont rise above it!

I hope we get a WC mid next season as I really want to see Buffon retire only after he wins the CL

 

[Dominic]

Khedira shouldn't start for us. such an overrated player.

In the right set-up he is fantastic. But right now he and Pjanic both disappear from midfield, because they drift forward and then the midfield disappears because noone is there.
Add someone with presence and both Khedira and Pjanic will improve.

 

[il brutto]

Khedira shouldn't start for us. such an overrated player.

*underrated

 

[Orgut]

Witsel is probably coming to replace him anyway...
Expect a Marchisio Witsel Pjanic midfield next year...
Things that might happen - Licht will probably be gone so we`ll have Alves+maybe Cuadrado on the right side
If we play 4-3-1-2 or diamond it means we could have one of the following - 1. surprise Verratti - probably not going to happen 2. Pjaca given the chance 3. Pjanic up front with Witsel and Khedira in the center and Marchisio as a DM
I personally hope Pjaca make it this year but his shooting skills really lacking so I doubt its going to happen

And if we spent 80m this summer it would be spread out over 2-3 years again, no?
