Why would you want Juve to keep getting the best talent from lower teams in the league.

Could see him going for Jorginho again since Lampard doesn’t seem to rate him that highly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jorginho would only generate loud groans, if Paratici manages to get rid of the dead weights the best thing would be buying young talents and/or top players.

Earlier reports said it will be a loan deal. Makes sense. Solksjaer's still got his wrinkles to work out but credit where it's due he's so far been very good at giving youth a chance and mostly taking on the ones that work and realising who doesn't. Going on the appearances they did get Chong is enthusiastic more than anything else and Angel Gomes just really didn't have the presence or speed of reaction to break into the team, so both sales are good for everyone really. 29 minutes ago, Consigliere said: The ref and the VAR in the Juve/Lyon game are complete and utter morons. Two shockingly poor penalties awarded. In fairness later replays showed the Lyon one was bang on- there was a touch on the trailing leg that knocked it into his standing leg so it looked like he tripped himself but he didn't.

In that regard, we are splitted. Some (not me) feel that it was a mistake to hire Ronaldo, on the other hand others (me included) feel that we are wasting him and the real problem is the money spent on huge wages to zombies (Khedira, Higuain, Costa, Ramsey...) and third rate players (Bernardeschi, Matuidi, Danilo..)

Consigliere Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Ronaldo is a huge investment but even at 35, he's easily the best player in the Juve squad. Juve have scored a total of 7 goals in CL knockout games over the past two seasons and Ronaldo has scored all of them in addition to the 52 goals + 15 assists he's gotten in the league over the past 2 seasons as well. The gamble on Ronaldo hasn't worked out only because Juve's higher ups have filled the team with too much dross. Juve's midfield in particular is fucking dire to watch. Di Marzio reporting that Sarri's future is being considered. The only concrete candidate to replace him at the moment is Simeone Inzaghi. Alfredo Pedulla reported that Pochettino is a candidate as well. ETA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consigliere Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Di Marzio and Romano reporting that Pirlo is set to take over from Sarri. That is one seriously risky move given that Pirlo has no managerial experience. A quick google search says that he enrolled in the Uefa pro licence course in August 2019 and was appointed coach of Juve u23 in July 2020 but never actually took charge of a single match.
