Juventus summer 2020 special - now summer 2023

Reports coming out Pirlo has convinced Cristiano to stay by the way.

Suarez ideally as back-up striker no chance he accepts this role. I would not change RONALDO-DYBALA for him that's why

Also he may be a free transfer but can we even afford his salary ?

Juve and their yearly Paredes links.

I'm not surprised Pirlo would be interested in him. He probably reminds him a lot of himself. Both started as 10s, then moved to DM. Both are slow and unathletic but very creative on the ball. I can already envision him breaking lines and finding Dybala with passes nobody could have thought of.

Although they're just links, if a move does happen, it will kind of suck when a player you do a hype job for goes to a rival team. I'm at peace though. I hyped him up when he was at Empoli. He then went on to become a national team starter, sign for PSG for 50M, and then start a CL finals. Not much more I could have asked for.

If a move happens I entrust you with his PR. I'm sure someone like rincon will prefer some Italian donkey in midfield instead, and will start an agenda the moment he potentially arrives, but ignore him and fight the good fight.

Reports from where? This seems like a made up narrative. Every piece of media in Italy started their Juve summer news with Ronaldo being central to the project.

Same thoughts, happy to have Suarez come for free but only as a rotational player. We shouldn't disturb Dybala's for him.

The yearly link

Of course he would be useful, I dont see why PSG would like to let him go though

I feel this rumor was entirely made up by Arq and his connections to footmercato or whatever website of this sort

In reality CR's presence next season was never in doubt imagine if he leaves how much we are in deep shit

Higuain basically confirmed to be leaving at Pirlo's press conference today.

Pirlo: "I want to play a proactive football with great mastery of the game. I told the boys yesterday that I always want to have the ball and that when you lose it you have to get it back quickly."

The reports are from Forza Juventus on Twitter who usually come up with good predictions but as said reports not what is true or false and then of course some smaller journalists.


Pirlo's words are not surprising given he mostly has been a fan of fantasy attacking football and was more expressive of it during his tenure in more defensively oriented teams.


In his training session he seemed quite confident and the top players drawn to him.

Should be interesting.

He definitely needs a couple signings to pull that vision off

Midfield has to be able to add to the attack and our fullback play last season outside of Cuadrado (most of the time), was really poor also, two big areas of improvement

Messi x Cristiano just saying...

Big hopes for Arrhur and Kulusevski for this.

End of the season Rabiot was already looking great. If he keeps that up and Arthur delivers then our possession play should see a bump right away with those two + Bentancur.

Another midfielder would really help.

I'm hoping that having Kulusevski eventually take a starting role and offer more in attack can help a lot.

Pirlo said a couple of times now that formation and systems depends on the players and he will be trying different things. With back 3 and back 4 in the mix.

If we dont get a game changer in the mid (we likely wont) then I want to see him try a 343. On paper it would bring out the best in a good number of our players.

Totally willing to drop everything else to make it happen.

Messi and Cristiano supported by 9 players from the primavera so that we can afford it

New Vidal

Inter seems to have sealed the deal for Tonali. Juve meanwhile met with Sassuolo for Locatelli.

Poverty Tyler Adams

He was suppose to go to Southampton, I think that is his level, I don't know how much he'll play for Juve. A player for the future but probably not good enough at the moment.

Bizarre signing. Makes absolutely no sense.

Can he go for a tackle, get the ball back, then pass sideways ? If yes, welcome aboard McKennie, you are now our defensive specialist in midfield

Rabiot, Bentancur, Ramsey i rate none of them higher than B+ on a good day

They are not real creators, they barely defend, in fact we have a bunch of dudes who are correct in every aspect but great in nothing. Now that we bought hidden gem McKennie, what we need is a reliable passer as direct link to our attackers... like Pjanic... had he play in his best role
