most retarded decision to let him go,

ill never fucken understand the logic behind it at all, triggers me whenever i think about it.
Not the only one, trust me one of the worst sales for as long as i can remember.

Giuntoli said CB is the most important position for the winter. He managed to buy fullback and CF and didnt address the most important position yet.

that's the worst part

btw i'm not crying about huijsen. he's been shaky af at roma, we needed the money, looking at the books i get why we sold him. looking for expensive cb's in a hurry and not even being able to land them is an issue though. club had literal months to plan the winter mercato and all that was reported happened due to mendes being proactive and offering us antonio silva

He has been one of the best players in the Premier League this season. So what if he had a few shaky moments at Roma I also remember him running half of the pitch and putting one in the top corner at Roma. His talent was obvious. Anyone doubting it was just coping.

And tell me what we needed the money for... was it to buy Cabal? Or another goal keeper we didn't need?

No one would cry for Huijsen without Bremers injury. And we needed cash for just about anyone; circumstances matter.

yeah he's talented, that wasn't even questioned. still he looked like a raw player who needs a few years before becoming reliable

balancing the books is not simple when you're coming from a season with a 200m deficit, a season without international football and your overall debt is like ~300m (don't remember the exact number), with ffp to respect. financially the mercato was fine and you rated it 8 (i gave a 7). i never liked cabal either, he was the worst purchase, but that's a different position, compared to semi retired alex sandro he was ~acceptable

in hindsight things look different of course

one of the best players in EPL? Thats really an overstatement. I mean he did have 3 or 4 very good games (vs United, vs Bournemouth,vs Crystal Palace and vs Everton) but he also had some pretty average games. He is good for his age, like very good and yeah we could have kept him, but he probably wasnt really ready to play here anyway, so loan would be a good scenario

Plenty of strikers and defenders on the expiring contracts list:

Interesting list, But we're not in the business of paying luxury players, at least now that we are in a financial crisis and bankruptcy. more than 90% of the players listed above receive astronomical salaries and are all over the age of 30, similar to Ronaldo in 2018.

Juventus, after learning that Araujo will renew with Barcelona, remains with 3 names: Hancko (blocked for June) they will try to convince Feyenoord to let him leave in January, Danso from Lens and in the background but not at the top of the list Fikayo Tomori
——

I like Danso but hes got some injury issues. Dunno much about Hancko but he plays on the left and is durable. Tomori is nice but doesnt seem like Milan wanna sell

Well it's time we loaned some fringe player at a top club, buy some unknown player then or worse still bring back Djalo or rugani, as underwhelming as that sounds we need cover.

Loan someone that at least is on par with Gatti so we won't go bananas when we rest Kalulu, who needs rest.
If we are unsure who we want to have for the forthcoming years, go for a dry loan.

Juve will take two defenders, one experienced and one young

Araujo has received an offer to renew his contract, but Juve is still hoping for it. Kolo Muani's agent is the same as Araujo's, let's see.

Juve is ready to make a super offer

In that case Juve is ready to make an offer for Tomori but it is difficult

Then there are Hancko and Danso

These are the last hours of Danilo, the agreement for the termination has been reached, he will go to Naples, he has had some Brazilian sirens but it seems he has decided on Naples for the 2026 World Cup
