I like James but we would really need a pure defensive mid if we had him, Dybala and Pjanic in the same team. Conte apparently wants him but not sure how that would work.

Maybe N'Zonzi is the way to go.

To think we nearly signed James about 5 years ago.

I think we can afford him without that. But I doubt it will happen. Because of BPL clubs and PSG, obviously.
really? in the last 5 years we have never bought big unless we sold a major player.



Last year we sold pogba, pereyra, morata and we bought the likes of higuain and pjanic etc.. However our expenditure was pretty much equal to the earnings off transfers. (no investment of own money from agrelli's side)

When we sold the vidal pirlo tevez berardi (1/2) we spend high (about 55mil of own earnings). However the most we spent on one player was 32mil on dybala (with 8 mil bonus).

During Allegri's first year, we only spent 17m overall. That year we did not sell any major players; we sold halfs of the likes of immobile and some scraps off primavera and old strikers.

James is pretty much a perfect fit in the RW "free" role in the 343. Similarly to hazard he would not have any defensive resposabilities as the flanks would be covered by moses and azpelqueta.

Don't play with my emotions Bepps!!!!!

Where there is smoke there is fire?

-Interest before Porto
-Interest before World Cup and Madrid's big splash
-Rumour in early Summer that James was viewing facilities
-Rumour in late summer that James was house-hunting
-Beppe when asked at end of summer said there was "*almost*no possibility"
-Our local Juventino source, Tanu_mz mentioned we made an inquiry or there was something to the late summer rumours
-Spanish newspapers say we are interested and listed us as a confirmed bidder
-Colombian public prefers Juventus for James' career
-Inter made a bid near the end of the window and we all know Inter's player buying policy....Juve bid? ok let's throw a big bid in to **** things up...like with Dybala.
-also we have a #10 available still and have been looking for a TQ FOREVER
- The player now vocally sounds like he wants out with players openly criticizing him.
and now Beppe doesn't rule him out and says he is dear to Agnelli??????

Time to open up a player thread?????? Creo que si! :nico:


Oh yeah, and we're totally going to loan him with an option. We just don't know if it's a mandatory option.

Maybe in the summer.

I dont think we will buy james. He must be in a hurry to go out.... but not enough hurry because he has years enduring that miserable life in madrid. He got used to it , it seems.


Maybe he is lazy in trainings or something?

Gotze smiled too. How about Van Persie and James lookings for houses in Turin?
RVP couldn't find anything good, so he went to United

Actually Gotze was a boner.
A boner for Pep yes
