I wonder if this club will ever get serious, other than chasing scudetto there is no point in signing players like De Ligt if you cant keep them. We dished out a hefty fee + salary only to lose him with no profit ? Makes 0 sense. Woulda been better off investing on building a proper team sadly as usual we keep playing wack a mole….sign vlahovic sell de ligt, we will never have a competitive team
We add pieces and we waste them because we lost players to dumb transfers. All that money spent to bring them in….hell Vlaho could be on his way out in 4 years time if the club deems they need to rebuild again. It’s a non ending crap management cycle. You look at real and see how successfully they are because they are able to keep most of their core players. This team lacks that.
In fairness, I think we're just a cash-strapped club trying to do what we can on limited resources. If you look at it through those lenses, you can justify every move made. If Pogba pans out (again) you've now fleeced United twice for a world class talent; not impossible. I'd be very surprised in Di Maria doesn't produce given his track record, even if we are going to be looking to get younger sooner rather than later. If Zaniolo stays fit, that's a very nice signing for 30-40M. Kouilbaly on a free would be stellar as well. It's not inconceivable that these moves can pan out. You already have two arguably world class attackers in Vlahovic and Chiesa. Add Locatelli in the midfield and Bonucci isn't a slouch. We have some pieces. We just need some of the summer signings to pan out. I can understand what the board is thinking for the most part.
Pre-season has already started for some of the players, some more will be at training on the 11th, and then the rest by the 18th.
#Juventus, definiti anche gli ultimi dettagli: preso Kenan Yildiz // Done deal: Juventus have completed the signing of Kenan Yildiz 🤝⚪️⚫️ @Goalitalia @Goal— Romeo Agresti (@romeoagresti) July 7, 2022
He's a Turkish U17 player that is highly rated as an attacking midfielder. He's been with Bayern Munich's youth team since 2012, he left on a free. It was between Juve and Barca for his next destination. He chose Juve. He was born and raised in Germany, but represents Turkey in international play.
Koulibally is a great player. However he is starting to lose some of his pace now and I think we can get 2 seasons out of him at best. My concern is defence. If koulibally signs we need another world class DC and a world class LB. Also we have no natural LM other than Chiesa who will be playing further forwards. So that is another position we need a class player for plus a deputy. Rumour from across the pond is Liverpool are readying a 102 million bid for MDL and Rabiot. Also PSG want Rabiot back and want to exchange him for Gini Wylnaldan ( probably spelt wrong) lol
Di Maria landed in Turin, will be having his medical and signing tomorrow. Tomorrow Pogba arrives and should be taking his medical and signing on Saturday.
Even if we are we can make better deals to compensate for it. Some of the things we do are beyond amateur.
I think we can forget about Koulibaly, a lot of reports that he wants to leave Napoli, but won't move to another team in Italy. I can respect that. Hijack the Bremer to Inter deal. Sign him, and get another young CB, one of the Frenchmen being bandied about. Juve are also making a push for Molina now, word is they could come to some sort of arrangement with Udinese. Juve is also looking at Bologna's Arnautovic, Bologna doesn't want to give him up, but Juve might use their interest in Rugani to close the deal.
I’m hesitant on Bremer. He’s only shown well with a back 3 defensive shape. KK is such a better option if he will accept. Understand if he won’t though.
Bayern low ball everyone and get the player to force the team into a transfer at a ridiculous price. We went through this with Gravenberch.
He only joined up with Mino in the spring of 2019. Prior to that he was represented by Barry Hulshoff a former Ajax defender. de Ligt wanted to maximize the transfer fee and once he signed with Raiola, he was gone from Ajax. I think de Ligt has no faith in Allegri or the senior management at Juventus who as everyone has written seem clueless about how to build a club. He was comfortable with the style of football that Pirlo was taking the team.
CR3.5 didn't like him either. Come to think of it, either did Pirlo. He was screwed by Max at Milan and left here after 1 year.
