And I think he's a fool because the Premier League is where it's at. It's where all the money is, where the elite coaches are, and where most of the elite players are. The strongest League in the world by far, and I am not one to crow about England and all that rubbish. It's just a fact.

That's how it reads to me as well. Juventus seems a bit unambitious from a global perspective, but I suppose money-wise the CL offers a bigger profile for sponsorship opportunities that may more than make up for the discrepancy in wages.

Juventus don't pay lesser wages than us. They have a higher wage bill.

Besides that, how is joining a club that has won 9 league titles last decade and made the UCL final 3 times unambitious? 😆

9 league titles pretty much sums it up, doesn't it?

Yeah, Juve's recent incompetence is probably distorting views on here a little - a couple of years ago I don't think anyone would have really batted an eyelid. Similarly no one would bat an eyelid if he chose Bayern over us regardless of the strength of the league.

The only argument you could make in terms of favouring us would be that a PL side would present the biggest challenge for his abilities, but I don't think that's something players actively seek out. They want prestige and recognition and you'll certainly get more of that at Juve than here right now. Hell even at our best I always felt players didn't get the props they deserved.

Juve would get slapped if they play either City or Liverpool in the CL

Can see Ricky1985 rocking up to the Emirates in an R.D.T shirt!

You would swap 9 league titles, a chance to play with world class player, top manager, regularly competing in UCL and even have a chance to win it for a team that regularly finished outside of top 4 and in mid table past 2 years out of Europe? 😆

It's a no brainer for him really

Juve are not going to win the CL any time soon. The last time they won it was bloody 1996. Last time they go to the final was 5 years ago. They are not even in top 4 in their current league.

He wanted to stay in his comfort zone of serie a which is fair enough but Arsenal are still an attractive proposition that would probably even beat this current Juve (who have been shit last two years) side.

The most disappointing thing about the pursuit of Vlahovic has been 'why did we push things for so long when the noise from the player's camp has/did not change?'. Same applies re Arthur.

it's really not a stretch for a player in serie a to prefer going to juve over us

Agreed, and less so when that club has the reputation, success and has a multiple title winning manager.

No, it's not. In fact, it's quite typical. Just seems insular, safe, and from our perspective, quite boring.

Talk Fiorentina have had a bid accepted by Basel for Cabral for under 30m - should we be interested in their replacement for Vlahovic?

lorddulaarsenal

Is Vlahovic to Juve actually confirmed?

Not as yet, but if Fiorentina are making bids on additional CFs despite having already signed Piatek, it looks like they are signing a replacement in order for him to leave.

I get the boring bit from our perspective, but I can also see from his perspective why Juve is a smarter option. He's still a kid and a few more years playing for a top team in Italy and in the UCL while he hones his skills makes a lot more sense than joining us. And if he really wants the challenge of playing in the EPL, there will likely be plenty of time for that.

Let's focus on beating the likes of Burnley and Nottingham Forest and actually getting into Europe before dreaming about beating Juve shall we?

jones

Exactly. Taking the piss out of Juve for last winning the CL in the 90s when we've never won it is prime RAWK material, please let's not let this place become that

Clrnc

And having the cheek to say last time they got to the final was 5 years ago when that's the last time we were in UCL 😆 totally different level.

lorddulaarsenal

To be fair though the Premier League dwarfs any other club competition including the champions bore me later league.

Basically the Prem in early 90s WWF
