Think Roma's may move Iturbe to Everton.


A loan right? I like the kid



I don't know. Everton makes it sound like he may be sold outright.

Roma tried to get him to accept a loan to Genoa or Fiorentina but seems his agents want an outright sale if he's not going to make Roma's roster.

Iturbe wants to stay at Roma and fight for a position but if Roma's pointing at the Scudetto this year he's not going to get a lot of playing time.

I think it's too bad as well because I think he'll be a very good player in a couple of seasons.

Juventus have to be aggressive in this market.

They have not replaced Tevez and Vidal, both very instrumental in them winning the Seriea and Making it to CL final.

they need a forward and a Dm who can lead from the back.


Mandzukic is Tevez's replacement, and Khedira is the DM, but he's hurt.

They're in good shape in midfield as soon as the injury crisis is over but are certainly looking to add one more top notch young attacking talent.


Seems their plan is:
Marchisio moving into the DLP role
Khedira and Sturaro as box to box DMs
Pogba/Pererya as playmaking mids
and Asamoah and Padoin as depth

All these mids are pretty interchangeable as well since all defend.


However, Marchisio, Khedira and Asomaoh's injuries have left them scrambling. I assume they want a DM on loan simply to buy time since all three are supposed to be back in a month or two.


Up front, they are certainly looking for one more second striker/playmaker but they're not desperate.

They are set at striker and then some with Madzukic / Morata /Zaza

At second striker they have Dybala / Coman / Zaza.


Ideally, like you say, they probably don't want to pressure Dybala too much so have been looking for a similar second striker that also can fit into a 4-3-3

That's why they've been after Draxler/Goetze etc. . .

They're getting Cuadrado to add more 4-3-3 flexibility and they may wait to see how the youngsters work out if no one like Draxler/Goetze can be added.


I agree that they'll take a step back since it's a lot of youth (albeit very talent youth) to replace Pirlo, Tevez and Vidal.

I do think the master plan is to build the squad around Pogba with more talent around his age.

Fortunately for Juve, Roma drew with Verona, Napoli lost to Sassuolo, Milan still has lots of problems, and Inter aren't title contenders yet.

That means Yarmolenko is staying in Ukraine. I knew he wouldn't move.


I read today his club has already put in an offer on his replacement. Who knows though?

Iturbe would be exciting if there is any truth to the rumor.

Apparently City and Wolfsburg have agreed to a deal for KDB after the German side agreed to a deal for Dennis Praet.

The tweet in English reads as: Debruyne to City it's done! Praet courted by Wolfsburg !! To read on LINK exclusive!

Obviously I don't know how reliable that guy is, but it is a verified account.

Regardless, I won't believe it until the MCFC Twitter account announces him. This is like the 30th time this has happened so whatever.

We told yall so

A number of stories in the British press this morning report that Manchester United have made a huge £240million bid for Barcelona forward Neymar.

The Brazilian has been linked with a move to Old Trafford after his agent was spotted at United’s goalless draw with Newcastle on Saturday.

The Sun claim United are willing to fork out £165million on the transfer and taxes, and £75million on wages over five years.

Brazilian news outlet Globo Esporte suggests United have met Neymar’s staggering €190million release clause, although he is thought to be happy at the Camp Nou.

Help me understand why would he go to Chelsea then be loaned to Juventus?

Playing time of course, but why did he not just go to straight to Juventus if they were interested in him?

I have no idea why we don't just go ahead and sell him, same with Salah.

Fiorentina didn't want to sell directly to a rival. Also, Juve doesn't have a ton of money.

I tend to root for players more than teams, especially with European soccer.

I was rooting for Juventus to beat Barca...looks like ill stay the bandwagon a little while longer.

Whelp. Looks like no KDB for City. Has held talks with Bayern to join at the end of the year. Just let this end. All I ask.

BREAKING: DE BRUYNE'S MUNICH TALKS

Sources in Belgium have told SSNHQ that Kevin de Bruyne’s representatives have had no contact or discussions with Manchester United.

It’s understood however that they have held talks with Bayern Munich’s President Karl-Heinz Rummenigge about the player joining the Bundesliga champions at the end of the season.

Man City remain favourites to sign the winger and talks to conclude a deal worth up to £58m are continuing today. It’s understood the player is happy to join City, but has said he “won’t go to war” with Wolfsburg.



welp

Also reports Stones has handed in a transfer request
