Well after last time we should never do business with them again. Ever. (I know that will never happen and that the two will always work in tandem against the rest of Italy, but I'm still so bitter about Bonucci's return...)
Don't think they want a loan. And Paratici said no way in hell is Demiral going anywhere, he thinks Demiral will be a star in future. Unsellable in his own words
If Rabiot and Ramsey play well, we're a legitimate CL contender. I have no worries about the defense any more with this signing.
Well, Ramsey is guaranteed to be injured at some point, the guy is injured right now. Rabiot should be fine as long as he doesn't behave like a diva. I still think we need another midfielder but I don't know if the club is going to spend much more, especially without getting rid of some dead weight
Defensively, our weakness was not in central defense. It was on the flanks. We are reinforced, especially for the future with de Ligt. But that was not our problem area last season. We still have not addressed the fullbacks and hopefully the two signings in midfield give us some muscle. We do need to work on those two areas.
Don't think the club has any plans to address the FB positions, Sandro and Cancelo both seem to be staying, though I would guess Sarri would prefer De Sciglio much like Allegri... Or we go 3 at the back and then the flanks should be ok with Sandro and Cancelo as their defensive load should be less.

LOL someone needs to investigate Raiola...how does he land all these kids so early? What kinda underground rink is he running? In all seriousness, anyone have the official detaila of the buyout clause? Seems like guessing by articles...u hear 2 yrs, 3yrs, etc...theres so much bs news nowadays, hard to believe anything unless its direct from the source
Contract hasn't been revealed yet so you are also just guessing from what the rags say. Its for sure not active any time soon, details won't come out until Juventus officially release them. That is what has been reported so far though, we'll find out soon enough
Too much on the books atm, will have to offload to get another midfielder..things will be possible if we can get someone to bite on Higuain. We still have Bentancur and I think he will be better this upcoming year with more playing time.
How the roster is shaping up. Goal (3) - Szczesny, Buffon & Pinsoglio Central Defense (5) - Chiellini, Rugani, Bonucci, de Ligt & Demirel Left back (2) - Alex Sandro & Pellegrini Right back (2) - De Sciglio & Cancelo Midfield (7) - Khedira, Pjanic, Matuidi, Bentancur, Can, Ramsey & Rabiot Attack (8) - Ronaldo, Douglas Costa, Cuadrado, Mandzukic, Dybala, Bernadeschi, Kean & Higuain. The roster is actually complete. Not exactly all the pieces one may wish. We are heavy in central midfield but if we go with 3 across, then the numbers are good. Only a few on the flanks with Alex Sandro, Cancelo, Costa & Cuadrado. Not sure how effective on the flank Pellegrini may be. Is he more of a fullback like De Sciglio? So a 4-4-2 is unlikely. No doubt that Higuain is the surplus in attack. If he stays, probably goodbye to Super Mario. The real question is are these the players to run Sarriball?
I wouldn't buy or drive a Chevrolet I can't see any attraction to a player to wear the "bowtie" logo The roster Falc posted is enough if you are a serious Serie A and CL contender. Manage and motivate this crew properly and great things can follow.
Got to cut Cuadrado and Khedira our and if we manage to get Higuain our then I think we will be well set.
The club want him gone, and Sarri was also hesitant to keep him. Juventus don't need him anyway, but he refuses to leave so we're stuck with him, for now
Can’t we negotiate and have some MLS club or a Chinese or Arab team take him? Give him and send them Khedira for free as a bonus. At this point we need him off ASAP.
Dont understand why we always have a hard time selling even some of our well known players. RM selling their junk like hot cakes...James (still livin off 2014 wc hype) Rodriguez is being sold for 50m? We cant get 1 PL team to pay like 10m or just take him free? Same w Khedira and Matuidi...at this point we need to be able to sell these guys after how much experience they have. mls, china, qatar ?
