Yeah, Juve's recently been more similar to Bayern: spending a whole more than their league competitors but not just throwing crazy money around.


This is all about the thinking that they're one prolific goal scorer away from possibly winning the CL this year with Buffon, Chiellini and Barzagli before changes in their backline in the next couple of years.

Higuian is certainly the safest bet for any striker that's on that level right now and available.

It's risky but simply making another CL final would cover most of the amount that's being "overpayed".

Now let's just imagine this goes through and they end up keeping Pogba...

Yea they both were still a fair price for all parties involved.

Speaking of Dortmund apparently Mario Gomez is heading there. Hole frick, good move bc he said he was done in turkey after the coup.

Mahrez starting for Leicester against Celtic. Is the Arsenal deal not as close as some seem?

Apparently the Palace bid for Berahino was matched by Stoke and both were rejected.



This is just getting stupid at this point. What do the Baggies want for him? £20M+ is crazy. Palace just can't find a striker

Lol, Juventus aren't one of the poors, they usually choose not to pay the big prices. But with an aging back 3, they are going for it.

He fits perfectly in the team

And they don't have to sell Pogba, this theory that they are some broke team is laughable. They make hand over fist, after building their new stadium.

i mean i HOPE James gets his head on straight, but i just don't see it

if he does, and works hard, he could become truly amazing as an all around mid

they're not "broke' but 100M is going to frick their FFP, assuming they could afford it

only like the top top top revenue teams can afford that kind of money. basically the 2 big ones in Spain and the top-shelf EPL teams. italian teams simply do not make enough money to justify this kind of investment

James is staying. The Gomes deal was all but sealed with Real and they would have had him if they were going to get rid of James. I'm 100 percent convinced he stays after that deal fell through.

Also, isn't the deal 47m this year and 47m next? If that's the way it's constructed I don't see how Juve would have too many problems affording that plus keeping Pogba.

Eta: I still think it's a bad price for a 29 year old striker but I get why they're doing it. Win one for Buffon
