We have like 6 years getting short term solutions here and there (islas, pereyras, sturaros)...

what about going for first team dudes when the situation calls it for?, specially in a position that we definitely cannot be penny-pinching...

The midfield needs robust WC players right now... not has beens, or cheap bandaids. Needs Quality. Urgently.

What about the quality players we have bought during that 6 year period. The likes of Lichtsteiner, Bonucci, Alex Sandro, Vidal, Pogba, Pjanic, Dybala and Higuain among others don't count?

Our buying policy has been greatly successful.

No point in keeping those who don't want to stay.
I understand that, however I don't like this loose grip that the management has. I admire Bayern for their stubbornness and ability to tell any club/player to fuck off, like they did to Ribery (kept him) and Kroos(told him he can kick rocks).

That i dont know. I will leave that on Beppe and Pats, they have way more intel than we do.

Im biased towards mandragora, as i see great potential in him...its a shame he brokened but i would have given him a go instead of loaning out.

Rincon seems to be a good choice..but our next buy must be the richmans´s rincon for sure.

If rincon turns out to be good...we would only need one more WC guy ala Vidal (Verrati Plz)..plus bringing a fit mandragora back from loan (crossfingers)....and signing someone like James could the job.

heck bring back Sensi too.

I bet that mandra and sensi could be way more useful than oldman Nanes and Brokenmoah. I can bet you that.

I actually admire it, this is a business first and foremost and when an employee wants to move on he has every right. Otherwise it would translate into bad PR. Just like Athletico Bilbao for example, when I hear that name I just remember the way they treated Llorente. Plus, it helps weed out the uncomitted and puts a shine on legends like Buffon & ADP for example.

To sum up:

- We bought rincon to juve due to his charecteristics and he was a player we knew already
- We are not looking to add any more midfielders
- We have not made any enquires on gagliardini although he is an interesting prospect, we don't usually make these types investments.
- We have many valuable players such as lemina, sturaro and mandragora.
- Dybala's link to real madrid seem quite sudden. There are no tentions between juve and him or his agent. He deserves an increase in the economic aspect of his contract with juve.
- Morata loves juventus and has a great relatioship with all the players here. He still keeps in contact with us but he is a madrid player.
- For now we are ok with the players we have. We need to consider the number of players that are allowed to be in our squad.

btw @zizinho he completely avoided the question when luis gustavo was mentioned :lol:

We've also sold Pirlo, Vidal, Pogba, Morata, and Tevez during that period, so it's not as if we have made great purchases without great sacrifices being made in the sales department.

To invest you have to sell too. its not a one way street,
unless your some Chinese Club funded by unlimited drug money from the Triads.

Given the circumstances, the club has done brilliantly.

What I do hope we manage to stop doing in the future is buying players like Hernanes.
Its embarrassing and makes us look like idiots.

Other than that, selling Pogba and Pirlo was right.

Vidal was the one I really had a hard time with, but he wanted to leave, so i guess its his loss in the end. :agree:

Tevez and Pirlo pretty much decided to retire that will always happen once the players get older and Morata we always knew the situation with. Vidal and Pogba are the likes that we should be able to keep here in the future.

And as I said we have bought successfully. Our selling policy I can understand being questioned.
