Higuain was never going to come back, he'll be sold for sure. And Khedira I would think the club just thinks he's done, time to move on
Let's see how attached Sarri is to Higuain. I am certain the club does not want to hold onto him but Sarri? Not sure why some of you want Rugani out. He could find a valuable partnership with De Ligt if it happens.
Besiktas have apparently inquired about Khedira, better that than the alternative of letting him go for free which I heard was a possibility
There's actually a very good chance Higuain will stay and play. I don't have any issues with Rugani and I think he will improve. I can't see DeLigt coming straight into a staring role at Juve . Especially not in Serie a. One mistake and the media and fan base will throw him under the bus.
I don't see Higuain staying, at all. He isn't going to play second fiddle to Ronaldo and I highly doubt the club wants to keep him
Not us, that's for sure. The only way I see Higuain staying is if Sarri goes with 2 up front and Mandzu is gone and no one else comes in. Sarri said he wants to play with Ronaldo as false 9, that's leaves no room for Higuain anyway (doubt that happens anyway cause Zidane tried it and Ronaldo just drifted wide every time, Allegri tried Ronaldo in the center as well and all Ronaldo did was send whoever was on the wing to the center) I just don't see where Higuain fits, and not to mention the giant salary he has, no way we eat that while he sits on the bench. And if Higuain stays, where does that leave all the other forwards?
I'm not sure where Higuain fits but then again, I am not sure what the hell Sarri is going to do with this team. If Sarri thinks he can get the Higuain he had in Napoli, then maybe he pushes to keep him. But as you pointed out, he carries a big salary, one that management tried to get rid of last year. There is going to be a lot of speculation this summer.
De Ligt is pretty much a done deal unless some freak situation develops, looks like he's taking the #4 vacated by Benatia
So, why is Barzagli still not retired? I expected him to finally call it quits or retire to some US team...or China and then maybe take a position at Juve coaching staff for defenders.
If the summer ended with De Ligt being signed (with Romero and Demiral), along with Ramsey and Rabiot on a free and a discarding of dead weight, I'd be elated. We would have significantly upgraded the two major issues we had last season, bringing on one of the best young central defenders in years.
One thing though that has me concerned is we lose some physicality when Mandzukic is sold. I don't think any of these players make up for that and this has been a problem when you look at how teams like Atalanta have beaten the shit out us. SMS would help in that area. If we unload Cuadrado Higuain Khedira and Matuidi besides Mandzukic we might be able to get Serge too then we will be set. If not it would still be a good start lowering the average age of the squad.
Can, when healthy, is physical. So is Bentancur. Chiellio and DeLigt if he comes. Rabiot is big also. We won't have a battering ram up front, but most teams don't anymore.
If we do get rid of Mandzu and Higuain we're going to need another striker IMO, we'll only be left with Kean with those two gone
Indeedy: https://www.blackwhitereadallover.c...-juventus-2019-serie-a-summer-transfer-rumors The only thing that can now get in the way is some crazy PSG bid, but I dont think thats gonna happen. I'm very happy he's going to your club. You guys have a great history and a legit chance of winning the CL next year
