Transfer Rumour Axel Witsel

[chazzle_dazzle]

They'll be playing 3-5-2 again most likely mate. This is how I've seen many Juve 'experts' saying they will line up.

------------------Buffon

----Barzagli----Bonucci-----Chiellini
Alves---------------------------Sandro (Santos?)
----Khedira-----Pjanic-----Marchisio-----
---------Dyabla-------Higuain------------

Pjanic is basically gonna be their Pirlo replacement, but Marchisio is injury prone so could be feasible they would go for another central midfielder I suppose.

However, they supposedly are going to try everything in their power to sign Cuadrado permanently as well, so leftover money from Pogba's sale could also go towards that, though they're also looking to move on Hernanes and Pereyra.

Thing is they have other talent in there which may or may not end up pushing in too - they played without Pirlo last season, Pogba went from playing a little deeper and more regimented to someone who pushed up and played with a bit more freedom.

Can see Pjanic being pushed up with the other 2 holding behind. They have some engines on the bench too which i think can come in to cover for games. Oh they also have that new croatian lad who can play centre mid aswell as on the left.

Ill be shocked if we see them go out and spend roughly £30m on a midfielder, they have a net spend of -£100m at the moment, the Pogba sale balances the books thats all.

yep and like I said they want Cuadrado back as well. Plus, they've got Lemina in there who is a real talent, plus Sturaro, and the Croatian forward/winger they've just signed.

Italian media, and this one very pro Juve accepting valuation differences between Juve and Everton too great.

Aye - but they now have the financial capability to match Zenit's (and Witsel's) demands. It all comes down to do they actually want him enough to spend that kind of dosh or will they look at other alternatives.

Matic - no chance Conte will sell him
Mascherano - Just signed a new deal
Brozavic - a big possibility

What is clear too me is that Witsel favours a move to Italy, whether he ends up at Juve or Inter is another matter - I can't see him coming to us. IMO we should pull out now or we'll end up looking like losers.

footnote: I hope I'm wrong here!

Well, sometimes you do right? Generally means I don't want to kiss her afterwards tho

 

[madden95]

they have spent a lot juve, i think he is ours now more by default like, people will moan but if we want top players, we need to accept we will not be peoples first choice

Going for players who wants CL football was always going to be a hard sell. I'm happy we are targeting these types of players, if we don't get them because other clubs can offer what we can't then so be it. Que Sera sera.
