Juventus summer 2020 special - now summer 2021

Ah yes, the italian Giroud, perhaps he'd give us 10-15 goals total as back-up. Whatever at this point

Crap situation we are in lads, get your swords and excuses ready, next season we must face heavy assaults by the anti-Juve troops

-If Milik accepts Roma, Dzeko could be in Torino on Friday
-De Sciglio rumoured to Roma for 10M
-Talks ongoing with Khedira to terminate his contract
-Dybala’s agent is in Torino to discuss his renewal

WATTBA

Romeo Agresti updates:
-Important hours for the termination of Khedira's contract

-If Ramsey and Khedira leave, a new midfielder will be signed. The addition of another midfielder is difficult if there is no sale

-Juventus agreed on a loan with buy option for De Sciglio to Roma. De Sciglio is likely to accept Roma

-Dzeko's agent will be in Rome in the next few hours, if there is the "yes" to Milik, the operation, Dzeko to Juventus will be unlocked immediately

-Suarez will still take exam tomorrow regardless of his arrival at Juventus

-Work ongoing to bring Kean back on loan

-For Douglas, there are offers from the Emirates and an inquiry from Manchester United. He is on the market and could leave

-Pellegrini will stay at Juventus

-Juventus is working on Dybala's renewal

-Juventus have decided to keep Rugani

Suarez is literally a dead deal now to Juventus. Obvious he will stay at Barça and I could be wrong but definitely betting against his arrival mark my words.

Dybala's renewal has to be priority #1 imo.

Its like Juve fan fiction

Agreed. Extremely tiny chance of happening, the deal is far too complicated for unusual reasons (not wages or transfer fee).

Dybala’s renewal is a formality. It’ll happen. He wants to stay and the club wants him to stay.

If these Roma deals are completed it would be excellent for us.

The only missing part is whether a midfielder is brought to replace Khedira (if he does leave). 5 cms in the first team without Khedita, and one of those 5 is Ramsey so that's not too dependable. Maybe Pirlo would use Portanova, Fagioli, or Nicolussi if they stay, if we don't sign anyone.

I feel Ronaldo in the club is a huge asset for players staying.

Some Juventus fans see it as a stupid move given his wages and his age but one must understand the astronomic pull he has. Forget being top on Instagram to the most marketable player of all time. Just so many want to play alongside him.

Their friendship together also helps of course.

I love seeing Ronaldo in our shirt honestly. Even if his salary is massive. A GOAT, a huge personality, and a 30 goal a season striker. On top of that he seems to be good friends with everyone and always seems to be having a good time.

I think it was Kulusevski that said that he was recieved at Juventus by Buffon, Chiellini and Ronaldo. Having players like these makes a difference.

So many guys want to play besides him yet our most significant arrival this mercato has been Winston McKennie on loan because Arthur, may i recall, was forced to come here and did not want to move

Also we are pushing players out and having all the struggles in the world to part ways with them, but thankfully Beckham came to the rescue. So Ronaldo's aura that helps to retain players is not really an advantage so far

What i truly believe, the fandom Ronaldo receives from people is a total non-factor unless you are following the stock markets. Before signing him we had a better team, with a better coach, with sane finances and we improved each season. Juve was already up there with the big shots, just not THE biggest club and never will be, unlike in Agnelli's pipe dream. In the football world, as a club Juve had enough credibility before him, and much less now, temporarily

Individually i have no problem with Ronaldo. Yes he saved our season, he's a great teammate and he might be very popular on Facebook... i agree with all that
Was it a good strategy to buy him in 2018 ? No and nothing indicates me otherwise. For how bad the finances were managed and therefore after a couple of years it becomes sportively a problem
Would i sell him in september 2020 ? No
Next year ? Hopefully i'll believe we can afford to part ways

Dzeko to Juventus is a done deal (Romano)

We did it brothers

Dzeko will play for Roma tomorrow because Roma needs to verify Milik’s knees

WATTBA

I don’t like this

The Serie A mercato ends when ? Because the season starts tomorrow... i guess i'm allowed some impatience now

One CF is now added to the list of priorities, be it only for a back-up role. It's fine for next month or so but after that we need to rotate. Dzeko and Suarez seems complicated. Kean they don't want to loan we must buy him back or something ? Perhaps Bernardeschi will be tried there ? He used to shoot well, after a couple of goals he'd get his confidence back then who knows

The other priority is also get rid of Khedira and buy a decent CM. But the clock is ticking as i've said, and most championships have restarted, it becomes harder to sign a reliable player
This can be delayed to winter mercato, as Khedira is good in the first few months of a season. So hopefully the management don't forget his tendency to decline fast

Market closes October 5

We’ll get a striker and it’ll likely be Dzeko

I have no confidence for the midfield though. Maybe in January

Dzeko will be good as player. Curious to see which kind of contract he is given, at his age, i would not go more than 3 years, ideally 2. Hopefully they learned the lesson from Beppe's mistakes

RABIOT-ARTHUR-BENTANCUR
RAMSEY-MCKENNIE-KHEDIRA

On paper it makes nervous, of course, but if 3-4 guys in this lot temporarily play at the best of their potential, it can spare us some time until the winter window. Ronaldo-Dybala can make individual difference and i am not concerned by the defense.

The Dzeko deal is rumoured at 2 years

On the bright side, that midfield is more mobile and younger than it has been for several seasons

The key is Arthur. The infos i gather is he was correct at Barca. If he improves in a new club, as sometimes it happens, it will be a breathe of fresh air. The rest we already know their strengths and flaws in Juve parameters, hence my nervousness

Dzeko deal is done

Officially official this time ?

I feel it's been done, dead, done, dead 5-6 times since last week

It’s not done because Milik is fighting with Napoli over money from what I read

Dzeko in the Roma squad today, stupid if he plays

No, it's not official, but by everyone's account its done. Milik and Napoli accepted Roma's offer, Dzeko and Roma accepted our offer.

Some contractual dispute between Milik and Napoli are preventing it all from going through. But it will happen, it's in everyone's interest.

Deep down you know it

ADL blocking a useful move for himself just to screw Juve rent free

Pellegrini left out of the squad while De Sciglio remains. And our starting LB is presently injured.

Sounds like another genius Paratici move coming our way

holy shit

this is today?!

Morata to Juventus:
-9M loan for this season
-Option to extend loan for second season
-Buy option for 45M

Well, we got our #9

Underwhelming and disappointing but let’s hope it’s a functional move that works on the field better than on paper

You really got Morata? How daft
