They wanted to swap players in the pogba deal and he'd certainly one I'd take.

If Sancho is out of question I wouldn't mind Kulusevski. He is struggling a bit right now but he is really good. He is looking for assists as well, not only a "striker" like our other attackers.
But I see him as a budget version of Sancho.

Surprised me that he's only 20. Thought he was around 30 when I saw him play in the Champions League. Supposedly Scandanavial languages aren't too different so Ole probably wants him for his Norwexit FC team. I'm all for having a ginger bastard in the side, a quality player by the looks of things also.

Him and Rabiot.
I would love to have Kulusevski at United, left footed winger, creator, hardworking.
I've never been convinced with Rabiot to be honest. I'd rather a defender, but totally agreed on Kulusevski.

Chiesa or this guy. De Ligt is obviously out of the question. Demiral maybe.

I hope we don’t go for Ronaldo because that will mean we will end up kicking the striker can down the road for another few years while better long term solutions move to smarter clubs and get paid a lot less. Ronaldo could still be a beast for us but I don’t like the idea of paying so much to a guy who is liable to retire at any stage and will want to be the main man. I also don’t like him as much as a lot of the people on here since he left here to be honest. He left us on the way up why should we take him back on the way down? If anywhere he should go to sporting. It Seems like something we would definitely do though. Great player but just not that into the dude.

I like him a lot but he’s not the assist or goal scoring player we need in this position.

We could badly do with a left footed RW so would be happy if this was an option. I haven't seen him of him at all though.

One of the posts above says he's left footed, so is he another inverted winger?
Yes. Yet, he played a lot as a striker and attacking midfielder this season but didn't score a lot of goals. In contrast, last season he got 11 goals and 8 assists (Playing RW, at Parma, on loan from Atalanta). Juventus paid EURO 25m for him. So I guess that's why United are after him - Juve may not value him as highly as our scouts.

I'd be happy to get him at United, not so much Rabiot.

He was superb for Parma last year and awarded best young player of the Serie A for a reason. This year, he has been a real flop in a poor Juve size. We have only seen glimpses of his Parma performances and otherwise, he has shown very, very little. He is only 20, though.

He was the Amad before Amad, btw. A talented winger through the Atalanta academy who was never going to get game time there - so he had some successful loans to Parma before being sold to Juventus.

Is he too similar to Amad in the sense that he is still a project albeit a more advanced one than Amad.

Media reports are that Juventus need to sell players due to their deficit, but that Kulusevski is one of a handful "invaluable" players (according to Gazzetta dello Sport). Arguably they do value him. He hasn't had a great season, but his talent and potential is undeniable. Should he struggle next season as well they might be more open to sell, but on the other hand I don't think United would be as interested in that case.

How's he doing at Juve ? Any regular watchers ?
Quite poor to be honest. But there is talent there, he was great for Parma and Juventus has spent 40 M on him for a reason.

I was at the Friends Arena in September when Sweden defeated Spain 2-1, and he was really impressive, he showed strength, pace and much composure in a normally unbalanced match. They are a far superior side to us technically but he showed some personality there.

I hope he gets this move, Allegri doesn’t seem to trust him.

Allegri clearly doesn't want him at all.

Chiesa just did his ACL, the only other real wing options are Weston McKennie (who isn't a winger) and Bernardeschi (definition of a mediocre player), and Juve is in a dogfight for top four in Serie A...yet Kulusevski not only can't secure a starting wing spot against that competition but Juve just want to get rid?

Conte did want him for Inter before he signed for Juve so I am guessing he was on the list for this window but it does seem like Conte wanted a PS5 and is being fobbed off with a Kindle Fire.
:lol:

But Conte will lose his shit. They are in the best position I think for top 4 and this is a great chance to build

The kid can play, provided that he can run… he is not does not fit Allegri’s style because he is not smart enough yet to understand the different moments in a game (when to attack, when to defend, when to keep the ball). He is also technically raw and still needs time to complete his development. Conte would surely love his engine, though.

Thanks . Basically not exactly a player who would help Spurs now. No idea why they are behind players like him.

Looks like we are getting this kid. He looks a top talent to me and I'm happy. We need a lot more though.

Well seems you are getting Bentancur also. Both for around 60 mill euros plus add ons. One of the best deals Paratici has done for Juve.

To be fair I think Kulu is good, but for whatever reason it didn't work out at Juve.

He's really good but also a forward, which is the one role spurs have no pressing need for...

And they going after bentancour too, despite already having 3 players of his skilkset :houllier:

Conte is going to have Paratici crucified in the mess hall*

*cheese room, this is spurs

I think Kulu has all the attributes to be an excellent player for us and he fills a role we have needed filling. I think he may be used behind Kane eventually in the role Lucas has been playing but he seems versatile also.

I don't know that much about Bentacur but as a regular for Juventus I'd expect him to be better than Winks and probably Hojberg so that's fine by me. Our midfield is in need of serious upgrading especially since we hope to get rid of N'Dombele, Dele and Lo Celso.

Both good signing for Spurs. The Low fee means that they won’t flat on their face if these deals won’t work out. The Bentancur price is crazy

Beginning to think Paratici is still working for Juve with these deals. Finanacial issues in Turin? No problem, here comes agent Para with a wheelbarrow of Levy's cash for your cast offs.

Bentancur is likely to partner Hoijbjerg. As your version of what Brozovic was doing for Conte at Inter. Whilst Kulu can be the Barella.
