From Calafiori and Todibo to Kalulu. Giuntoli masterclass.

AHAHAHAHAAHHHA what`s up Giuntoli, are Djalo and Cabal not good enough?

BTW he is also trying to raise funds to buy Berardi on the last day of mercato.

Am getting faintly concerned about Inter's overall squad situation as we approach the start of the season and the end of the transfer window. It was widely accepted that we needed a bigger squad for this season to allow us to compete in a bigger CL, this mythical Club World Cup at the end of the season, the Supercup in Saudi in January and, ideally, a longer run in the Coppa Italia. We're not really close to achieving this are we.

When compared to the squad which finished last season we are 1.5 defenders down - Cuadrado and Buchanan for the first half of the season. The defensive shortfall is emphasised by the age of Darmian, Acerbi and De Vrij who all could fall away quite sharply considering the stage of their careers.

We're a midfielder down (one in and two out) and while the departures in Sensi and Klaessen barely played any meaningful minutes last time, in part this was because we were incredibly lucky with injuries in that area. Hakan, Miki and Barella were constants and barely missed a game between them. I don't think you can go into the new season expecting that fortune again.

Up front we are technically a striker up (one out and two in). Now we can accept Taremi being an upgrade on Sanchez, but if Correa stays and plays this season it would only be because something had gone catastrophically wrong elsewhere. I'd still rather say we have four strikers as we did last season.

So the squad is 2.5 players down at the moment numerically.

Don't you appreciate the love between Milan and Juve? As usual, Milan are coming to the rescue of their "rivals".

Done deal.

Sky: Juventus are set to pay Milan a fee of €3.5 to bring Kalulu on board for the season, and will then invest a further €14m plus €3m in bonuses if the move is made permanent. If the loan does turn into a permanent transfer, then Milan will also retain a 10% sell-on clause.

Quite far from Calafiori & Tobido

 

[Gaindé]

Also there is no f*cking way this guy's name is Romell Kalulu.
There is no way... Lakaka is everywhere.

 

[qb4ever_2k]

What a deal for Juve, getting the best young defender in the galaxy for merely 3.5m.

Napoli
OUT: Cajuste (12m lp, tbc)

Milanisti keep dreaming that they should be called Derby d'Italia lol. Brotha if you are doing maybe 4 player swaps in 2 weeks between Rube you are in a same sex marriage.

There's no rivalry between Juventus and Milan. There's a brotherhood. They support each other. As for Milanisti, we're talking about a fanbase who preferred Juve winning Scudetto over Napoli in 2018. What rivalry And of course they have always rooted for Juve in the real derby d'Italia. Like a Milanista said on twitter "if the rival we're strengthening is Juventus, it's ok". Their only obsession is Inter.

Might be related to the Gudmundsson deal stalling, for whatever reasons.

I don't buy the Inter still in the mix theory Sky is talking about.

 

[Il Drago]

Just the usual theatrics of Commiso to convince their tifosi he doesn't want to sell to Juve. He will ask from Gonzalez to put a transfer request and then he will claim player wanted to go to Juve so he had no other choice.

There is no other dynamic in any major league in any sport I know where the two biggest clubs are in cahoots against the third club. It's deeply strange stuff. Milan have all the Berlusconi-funded CL's on their profile, we're probably never gonna catch up to them, their bigger focus should be on marketing themselves as being the more prestigious club compared to Juve, not being their allies. What weirdos. It makes me glad that Real Madrid have started using them as a satellite club of sorts in recent years, sending their troubled or developmental players there like Brahim and Theo and now Alex Jiménez, although unfortunately the Theo deal has worked out for them. A club with seven CL titles shouldn't be anybody's bitch but clearly that's all Milan aspire to be these days.

I hope by the next time they win a Scudetto that we're +5 to +10 on them.

@FabrizioRomano
️️ Juventus and Wojciech Szczesny have now reached mutual agreement to terminate the contract with immediate effect.

Paperwork being prepared and checked; if all good, Szczesny leaves Juventus getting an important pay-out fee.

Szczesny will be available as free agent.

How did Brescianini go from a done deal for Napoli to signing for Atalanta? Conte is going to lose it
