For Juve, never. Just didnt understand the exaggerated hate for him, every headline relating to him overblown to the max.
Misunderstood talent wasting clown for most of his career. At his peak was a very good striker for couple of years. But didn't care enough to be a basic professional and have above average career even.
But want him in Juve? Never entered my mind. I envied Inter in his teen years for having such an explosive young talent. But that was then. Dozen chances later and nearly dozen years later, and he is nothing but a bum, that couldn't even stay committed enough to play for a Serie B level club.

If you were Balo, would you be able to stay committed to play for relegation sides or french midtable clubs? If Juve came knocking, he might grab his last chance to work hard to make it among champions again. Of course, knowing Balo, he might very well turn out to be a shit signing. 
But if we can get him on a 2m a season deal, wheres the harm in trying?
Around the same time Inter had Balo we had Immobile btw, who was a much smaller talent, but still should've got his chance at Juve over the bum strikers we kept signing

I admire your positive outlook strickland, but in this case just give up bro
The man had a DECADE to show he can be the most basic professional possible, and refused at every turn. Currenly NO Serie A team are willing to touch him, not a single one, so why should the best one do it, that have the strictest requirement of professionalism and hard work, everything he is the opposite of.

Never said I wanted him, just feeling we will go for him. From logical point of view:
- We always wanted him,
-he will be available for cheap price,
- can use new tax law on him, so his salary wont hurt us,
- also our coach loves him.
Looks to me like something that could happen. He will be on his last year of contract so Madrid will want to cash on him too.
Regarding him i have my doubts, on his day he is unplayable for the opposition but it happens once in a season for 3 games, then he gets back to slowing down the play, but changing Ramsey for him probably still makes us better team.
