Benatia is thinking about leaving in January due to lack of playing time. Milan and United interested. Juve thinks of one of De Ligt, Balerdi or Andersen could replace him.
After today's disaster it should be evident, its not the players we land in transfers, its the loser coach mentality. Not even world's best player can save this team
Multiple reports that Juven are focused on signing Brescia's 18-year old midfielder Sandro Tonali, who has been called up to the Italian National team. His play is reminiscent of Pirlo's, he's expected to cost upwards of €20 million.
Saw him play with the U19s at the Euros. Meh. Long way to go before we start making that comparison. The only similarity at this point is the role they play and the hair.
Vidal? PogBackBack? "... Juve Vidal emerges, Pogba dream They need a replacement for Emre Can: Paul the first choice, but from Barcelona, the Chilean steps forward.."
The report says they don't know how long he will be out. Whoever we bring in will be a stop gap a la Matri the eleventy-billion times we "re-signed" him. Vidal would add some "pop" to our midfield for a half season anyway. And he has never "left" his biancnero stripes behind either so would jump at the chance: https://www.football-italia.net/130682/report-vidal-back-juve
Meh, I don't want Vidal back and I doubt the club will take him back after all his antics, not only here but at Bayern and Barca as well
Vidal is getting little playing time at Barcelona. Probably his agent making some noise within the media. Nothing to see here.
Juve have taken a keen interest in Toulouse midfielder Jean-Clair Todibo. There are a few Serie A teams reportedly interested in him, but Juve are leading the pack. CorSport claims that Benatia has asked Paratici to leave in the January window. Juve have reportedly made Ajax's De Ligt as their main target for next summer, with Sampdoria's Andersen as the alternate option. Romeo Agresti claims that Juve's two main targets are Brescia's Sandro Tonali and Adrien Rabiot (who's contract expires in June 2019).
Stuff is heating up. Kean says he may leave in Jan also. We need another CM pronto with all the injuries.
Kean can go, he's never gonna get minutes here. I highly doubt we land any of those targets. De Light will either go to Spain or the PL. I don't see Rabiot going anywhere but Barcelona and Tonali is a nobody, too much hype these days over youth, but he seems like the most likely candidate to arrive out of the bunch
We're reportedly keeping tabs on a Ruben Dias from Benfica. Anyone ever seen him play? I'll admit I have no clue who that is, is he good?
ESPN are reporting that Milan's money issues could see them unlikely to afford to sign Higuain to a permanent deal such that he would be back in the summer. That would be interesting.
******** Milan, I knew they wouldn't be able to afford Higuain. Interesting isn't quite the word I'd use, that leaves us in a shitty position. We'll be stuck with a player whos not gonna play making close to 8 mil a year. We're gonna have to sell him even cheaper that what we were going to get from Milan
He is ok. Starting to make regular appearances for Portugal and deemed as our future CB. He is very strong in the air, great on the ball, good positioning but he can be very physical and prone to red cards. I'm sure Chiellini would be a great influence on him.
