They can do one now.

May want to keep them sweet if we try again next year.

we should offer to sell them ESR for £20m if they sell us upamecano now for £50m and we agree to loan him back for 1 year. his release clause drops next summer (still above £50m), but they'd get to keep him for this season, and then get £50m for him when he has 1 year left on his deal, and they get ESR for less than we value him.

would suck to not have him this season, but maybe we can patch the defense together this season. we're still not winning the league this season. no need to burn a bridge at a club that has tons of good young talent. id rather secure upamecano and wait a year, same with saliba, than settle for rugani.

Good idea that

We should use ESR as leverage for a future Upamecano deal. Maybe do a next summer transfer agreement now.

Tierney should be here by tomorrow. Makes too much sense not to happen. Lennon is pretty much begging for a transfer the entire month

Nowhere near as things currently stand.

everyone here has been trashing rugani and calling him the italian mustafi and i really hope they are wrong. but damn, i wish we could do better.

that said, if we end this window with ceballos, pepe, tierney, a new CB and we're able to move a bunch of fringe guys, and hopefully mustafi, then that was a good window.

Maybe because Klaus who watches him week-in, week-out said he was like Xhaka in defence.

Hard to know where to look but the fans on the first forum of theirs i found don't seem to rate him either.

Why is this thread so dead? I'm excited at the prospect of selling him.

Me too. He is a disappointment. I defended him but I am not blind to his obvious weaknesses and cannot defend him anymore.
I defended him for 2-3 seasons, but he is just not mentally cut out to be a Juve starting defender.

Do you know more than us or do you and Clrnc simply disagree?

We simply do not want the combination of Xhaka, Rugani and Mustafi/Sokratis. Trust me on that one. We will be eaten alive. I watch a ton of Juventus and that combination is just inviting dynamic teams to kill us

I know more than you. Friend of a friend of a friend sort of situation.

@[deleted] I see. Well, that sucks.

So Kos and Mustafi replaced by Rugani and Luiz. Not the best but not the worst either, especially if Rugani is a 4th choice CB on loan. He’s really competing with Medley in that case. Hope this won’t stop us from going big for a CB next summer.

just want to reiterate something i said recently. the summer transfer window should only be open for 2 weeks, from july 1 to july 15. they keep taking these half measures to shorten it, but its nowhere near short enough. force teams to do their business and stop fucking around. ive wasted hours here refreshing this thread, i need to get actual work done

I actually think Luiz has been excellent since returning to England. Would be one of the better stop-gap options.

I don't watch him week in week out to be fair, but I've seen him enough to have a decent opinion of him. I follow a bit of the discussion around Serie A in general too and I know what the Juve fans think of him. It doesn't combine for a pretty picture.

The most worrying part to me is the rumours about a two-year loan with a mandatory buy clause. I just can't see how it's a good move to spend £50-60 million in total on this guy over the next 24 months and then not even have the option of getting rid of him.

We've been told we're outsmarting the market, but does spending £80 million on Pepe and then picking up scraps from other clubs really fit that idea? What's the plan here, exactly? How come we have a three month transfer window but we're still left on deadline day trying to pick out a few good apples at the bottom of a rotten barrel?

The obvious answer is that we were sold a bullshit story. The window can still end well, but what we do know is that we have £60m to spend on a defender and we're still walking around in the dark on deadline day, with Rugani and a 32 year old Luiz the most probable alternatives.

Two year loan with mandatory but clause sounds like horseshit anyway. When did that type of transfer ever happen?
