Mario Mandžukić #17

He's nothing like Tevez though

Ofcourse not

This is why it would be a strange signing.I really hope i dont see Morata starting together with the Croatian.It should be one or the other with Dybala and Berardi fighting for the other striker spot in the starting XI.Gives us better balance.

Mandzukic is mediocre. Would be a bad signing for Juve

Those words are really thrown around a bit too lightly

'Mediocre' player who terrorized both Juve's and Barca's defenders with his nasty pressing and work rate on our way to our CL win

He's a beast in the air in the box too, scores a lot of headers. Clinical finisher, tireless worker and generally obnoxious to defenders.

Not a bad player to have at all.

I meant that he's been mediocre for Atleti so far. Just my opinion that he'd be quite a downgrade in comparision with Tevez

They can do much better

Dybala and Berardi should play behind him and Morata and i think he is the closest thing to Cavani we can get, this guy works like a horse and has everything you need to be great in serie A. I Would like this move to happen.

Yeah if you have Messi, everyone is mediocre for you.

Good player, but don't see how he'd possibly work well with Morata. If Tevez goes and we don't sign a top replacement, we need to play Dybala there. He at least has some similar qualities. Not 2 number 9's together, that's horrible. Especially without a World Class playmaker feeding them. Imagine Vidal trying to consistently assist 2 number 9's. F*cking horrific.

Nah. He's scored some goals but generally been crap. Griezmann made me forget about him. At the end of the season he even started to lose his starting spot up front. He'd be a good player to have for Juve but don't think he could pair up with Morata anyway. They're a bit similar

Ill be extremely disappointed if we also get zaza and replace tevez with mandzukic....mandzukic would be a good choice as a llorente replacement.. No guarantees Dybala will not be a flop also zaza is decent but still not fully convincing

If it was up to me I would try as much as possible to keep tevez here for one more season, get mandzukic as llorente's replacement, not bother with zaza and buy oscar.

Why would we try to get Mandzukic for 15 million, I think that's too much. I hope Tevez stays, because I don't want us signing Mandzukic.

So if Tevez stays, would we not buy Mandzukic?

If we are getting both zaza and berardi i don't think so.
It will probably be zaza,berardi,dybala,mandzukic,morata.

i would rather see tevez,morata,mandzukic,dybala and splash the cash on Oscar that is my wishlist... The jury is still out on berardi for me despite his good stats as for zaza i think he is another gilardino/pelle/matri journeymen striker

The thought of having oscar play behind morata and dybala in the next 2-3 years makes me jizz my pants with pogba and rugani what a young team we would have it would lay down the foundation for years to come.

Getting both zaza and mandzukic is such a waste... i will not be happy if we get zaza and mandzukic in the same window, tevez leaves and we try and get oscar but can't afford it cause we spend the money on those 2 and money on witsel he is so overrated

Mandzukic is a good forward with lots of experience and if we really get him for 15 mln that would be a good deal.
Ofc that everyone would have prefered a more technical striker or even a attacking mid but they cost a lot.
He can play along Dybala and Morata as well,Morata can play as second striker I'm sure.

I think we will also try to get a trequartista or even test Berardi yhis summer.

Reports: Juventus sign Mandzukic
By Football Italia staff

It’s reported Juventus have agreed to sign Mario Mandzukic from Atletico Madrid for €18m.

The Bianconeri were reported to have agreed a contract with the Croatian international, with director general Beppe Marotta flying to Madrid to convince his club.

La Stampa, Gianluca Di Marzio and Gazzetta dello Sport are now reporting that an agreement has been reached, with Mandzukic set to join for a fee of €18m.

The fee will be made up of €15m up front, with €3m to be added on in bonuses.

Sky believe that the 29-year-old has signed a four-year contract with the Old Lady, earning around €3.5m per season.

As reported earlier today, Marotta will fly to Madrid to complete the deal, but it appears everything has already been agreed, with only official confirmation yet to come.

The former Bayern Munich man is likely to replace Carlos Tevez, who is on the verge of returning to Boca Juniors.

To be honest, I won't react until I see him playing on the field.

Mandzukic stats this season:
38 games, 21 goals, 5 assists.
5 of the 21 goals scored in CL
