I agree but as a team I see Juventus' attack as much more dynamic and explosive, potentially. Especially with Lord Morata with one more year of experience compared to last season.

That cycle had to end eventually, Tevez gave two fantastic seasons and he cannot be replaced, but you're also looking at a team that once had Del Piero and Trezeguet for many seasons, including one in Serie B and that is a combination that they also said could not be replaced.

Dybala has great potential. Morata will come good. Zaza is a solid striker in Italy. Mandzukic is a very hard worker, each attacker is so different and talented, I think this will be fantastic. A player like Cuadrado could also be a very good signing for the team. I don't think anyone is disappointed, looking at what names are available and the kind of team Juventus has built, I am proud- and it's only the first week of July

It is not Perisic but 2 players ( Perisic , and one of Jovetic or Salah).
Anyway it's happened something with Mancini. Mancini wants to sell him for others, it is not matter of Inter management etc Mancini basically decides for everything since he is our coach .He is basically the only " manager " (not just a coach , as in Premier League , as Wenger for Arsenal etc ) in Serie A.
It' s enough clear also considering the way he settled the matter Shaqiri today ( " I think he can be very good for Premier League ) while contrarily he talked very well about Kovacic saying he wants to keep him.
Now I realize also because he was benched at the end of season , probably not just because of Hernanes' great moment.
If we consider how much ardently Mancini wanted him this January , it is happened something.
Mancini tends to have a strong rapport with some players and this rapport can become conflicted in some things as whenever 2 strong personalities clash. Rumours say he didn't appreciate the indolent and lazy behaviour of Shaqiri , convinced to be a sure starter and so very poor work ethic in traning camp etc Mancini doesn't forgive these things. Although he liked Balotelli time ago lol

I understand but I still disagree with the decision, neither Perisic or Jovetic are as good as Shaqiri really. Especially Perisic, he is an average player. I like Jovetic, it's a good move.

Inter right have too many midfielders and should get rid of one instead of a potentially strong attacker. Frustrated because I have a liking for Inter since my brother supports them. So close to becoming a top team and yet so far with Mancini

Medel
Guarin Kondogbia
Shaqiri
Icardi Jovetic

Medel
Guarin Kondogbia
Shaqiri Icardi Jovetic

I'd sell one of the CB's to add to the budget, what do you need 6 CB of you are going to start with 2?

Sell Kovacic, Guarin or Hernanes or Brozovic even. Inter lack quality players in attack, and can't afford to sell even Shaqiri who has not exactly impressed. But you can afford to get rid of some of the other midfielders/defenders instead because you already have strong backups there.

Respect for your brother
tbh we are trying to sell them , but we can't . Because noone wants leave us .
About the BCs , Andreolli refused Sampdoria, Juan Jesus refused Spartak Mosca, Vidic refused Wolfsburg. In these cases the clubs can do nothing.
Guarin earns so much and this doesn't help to have pretenders, besides he wants to lave Inter just for a club better than us (at least on paper we shouldn't be really worse than Sampdoria) so not attracted by clubs as Fenerbahce.
I want Shaqiri to stay so I hope he will refuse other clubs so Mancini must resign myself to keep him . But I don't know if it will happen. It's difficult to stay if you aren't appreciated anymore by your manager and you have Euro2016 next year.
I hope he will listen Tancredi Palmeri :lol maybe his first great tweet lol
He is a Shaqiri fan

Better quality in depth than last yr tho.

From Tevez, Llorente, Morata, Giovinco, Matri

To potentially,
Mandzukic, Morata, Dybala, Cuadrado, Zaza.

Will take the latter IMO

None of them are as good as Tevez, so really the latter one only looks good on paper and gives better depth but your starting XI is worse off in reality.

I'm not worried.

Often in these situations, you will see someone or the other stepping up.

Not like we've gotten drastically worse just because of losing one key player.

By Football Italia staff

Barcelona Presidential candidate Joan Laporta slams the ‘failure’ to sign Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba.

The Blaugrana met with Bianconeri directors Fabio Paratici and Giuseppe Marotta in Italy this week, with the latter announcing that a bid had been rejected.

“The meeting with Juventus executives to talk about Pogba was ridiculous, a failure,” Laporta told Cadena Ser.

“[Ariedo] Braida and [Albert] Soler made a fool of our club. I respect Juve, but anyone who wants the player must go about it in a different way.

“The key to buying Pogba is his agent, Mino Raiola, who I’m on very good terms with. Talking about [Atletico Madrid’s] Arda Turan is only a distraction from the Pogba failure.”

tbh this issue of Pogba mixed into the election campaigning is absolutely embarrassing for everyone involved. And to be quite frank, if these quotes are truw, using Pogba like a pawn in this is immoral and really, really low from Laporte.

Well... Abidal introduced Pogba to Laporta and Pogba is friendly with Laporta now. Abidal HATES the current regime so he's thrown his hat in with Laporta. Pogba doesn't care... but he would quickly make Barca his destination of choice if Laporta was elected.

The problem is that Bartomeu publicly stated that Pogba is his primary target and Laporta is using that now. So it's really Bartomeu's fault.

Incredibly disrespectful behaviour towards Juve. They both should be ashamed.

'The key to buying Pogba is Raiola'

Just shows how much of an arrogant twat Laporta is.Hope he loses in the elections.

Being on this forum for a while I learned that the biggest twat is you.

Silly italian clubs want 100m for their players but when buying they always want loan+buy option Life's not ending at Pogba. We've won the treble with a 20m Rakitic, no need for overpriced (and overrated) youngsters....

Laporta IS an arrogant twat though, that's a fact.

The key to buying Pogba is the money , Raiola and what not.

Anyone who makes an offer of 100m or anything above that for that matter , and 10-12m to the player , will get Pogba . Marotta may be saying they won't sell and all , but give it time. Let's see for just how long they will be rejecting 80m , possibly even more because of Raiola .

Juventus doing good economicaly doesn't mean they have to say no to such money . They didn't with Zidane , my ass they will keep Pogba

My best guess is , Juventus is currently bidding their time to secure a really big name player to 'replace' Pogba . Someone like Oscar/Isco maybe , if not one of them in particular , at least of that sort. They won't risk selling Pogba if they can't actually use the money to rebuild and that's literaly all that stops deals from happening.

Whether or not Pogba ends up at Barcelona i do not know , but you can be sure Juventus will sell sooner or later , they will just do so when they are ready . And frankly , that's the right thing to do . Anyone willing to let go of such a player would need a definitive plan for the next day and time to make it happen , you can't expect them to just take 100m and then run around trying to get players . When they have their plan for the next day ready , then they will agree to sell.

So i suppose , Juventus will look to replace Pogba from here on , but Pogba will most likely leave next summer , not this one . Unless PSG does anything really crazy , yeah , it will be next summer.

At least he's not an idiot. At least not as big as Bartomeu. I puke when I say that name. He knows what Barca is about and keeps the traditions. He'd never associate us with Qatar and destroy our traditional kits with hoops.

Depends what you believe According to official reports Neymar costed 60m and Suarez 70m so that's definitely not 250m

Im a twat because I think Laporta is one...Ok kid, no need to get so touchy.Being a Barca fan must be great these days i suppose.Bashing teams who you have absolutely no connection to as I've noticed you've already been labelled a troll by members in a couple of club sections.
Anyway , I've no doubt been annoyed by this saga and I certainly hope he goes to some other team if he leaves.I'm glad we told Barca to fo and I'm happy we rejected such a huge offer, it shows our intent more than anything.
Just for the record, I like most Barca fans here like dani,fraudball etc.Unfortunately people like you really irritate me though.So I decide to troll once in a while too

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Inter have proposed Shaqiri to Tottenham in exchange for Lamela.

Oh, you're such a sweety. The problem here though is not that you're trolling but that you're simply an... ekhem, I'll stop it there 'cause don't want to receive a warning arguing with such a...errrm. Your hate towards Barcelona is something uncanny, something that I'd expect only from a spoiled 14 year old. Not sure now here if your profile personal information are true or not. The former, I suppose.

Enough, back on topic.

Why is Juve obsessed with Oscar? can they see in him something the rest of the world doesn't?

What does that mean?

He is a regular starter for Chelsea and Brazil lol. He was one of our best players until January.

Oscar is fantastic, he just needs to be more constant. If he plays Jan-May like he does Aug-Jan he would be regarded one of the best no.10s in the world. Key word if, not saying he is one of the best Am in the world atm.

I think he would thrive at Juve.

[quote="Blue"][quote="free_cat"]

Oscar is not "fantastic" by any stretch of imagination. He is a good player, but to have this obsession about him, trying to sign him from a top club and for a huge fee... you would expect him to be a world beater, and he isn't....
