Xu, I think they're good signings, but I'm not that envious personally. Kondogbia's a good player, but as was mentioned when they got him, spending 40m and paying a large salary to him seems excessive.
Miranda's a very good defender, but imo I'm not sure he's as great as people think. I think a large part of what made him great in recent years is who he's played alongside.
Sylrus, I think even if Juve lose Tevez (which looks set to happen), I wouldn't see it as particularly weakening them. They just signed Dybala who's an excellent player and I suspect they will sign a couple of big players this market, especially as it looks like Pogba or Vidal could leave (most likely Vidal right now).
ha ha I love when shit like this happens to Inter. What a joke of a club. They are buying but I don't think they will be competitive this season and a lot has to do with the mentality and the culture of the club. I really didn't mind loosing Kondo or Miranda to them. The former coz of the ridiculous price and the latter coz he's an okay player and not as good as he is made out to be.
What is worrying is how strong Juve still are. Also Speaking of Turin, Torino will have a pretty competitive team this year I think. They have made some good signings.
Ausilio is an ass. I hope that he fails miserably.
Vidal to Bayern almost done.
Allegri will deserve high awards if Juve don't fall lots. Just because replacements are signed doesn't mean Vidal, Pirlo, Tevez won't be missed.
If they play their cards right, they could take one step back to then take many steps forward. Vidal is known to have injury troubles while the other two are aging players. If they sign the right players, they could become even more daunting domestically. I think the gap between them and the rest is large enough for them to afford to take a risk like this.
Siamo a posto cosi.
yes, Juventus always has a management that is bold, risk-taking, and forward-looking. They traded Zidane for Buffon, Nedved, and Thuram in the summer of 2000, and I have not seen Galliani pulling off anything like that. Milan always lives in the past.
I don't know if it's risk taking as much as focusing on the club than the individuals. For example, Milan have a history of making emotional attachments to their stars, much more so than Juve. It can work in benefit for a club to do this, but also makes it difficult to make necessary changes when needed, such as the last great generation that was kept on far too long.
I'm curious to see how Juve's summer pans out. As Mystik said, what might appear a step back now might be great long term planning.
I'm also very curious about Napoli, as they could end the summer very well. They've got Sarri and given him a couple of "his guys" from Empoli in Valdifiori and potentially Tonelli. Adding Allan is a massive coup imo and depending on who they can sell, they could add some important players in the next month.
Juve have sold Vidal and are already negotiating for Goetze. They are clearly looking to maintain their lead at the top. I am counting on them feeling exhausted and unmotivated after a long campaign last season and fucking up somewhere.
