We'll need to bid 60/65 IMO.
No chance that Juve would sell for 50m Euro if they sell Pog.
60-65 would test them.
And us, unless we start selling. And I wonder if that plus a bit could get Gimenez or Varane who could be top class for years.
I'd fancy plying my trade in a more competitive league than Serie A to be honest.
I think it will be 50m euro as we have already got Pogba. Basically weve been in constant communication with Juve and I believe we actually probably have a very good relationship with them. Im not saying we will get a discount but economically it would be hard for Juve to justify asking that much for a 29 year old and breaking the world record for a defender simply isnt going to happen. He will have maybe 3/4 years left at the top.
65m for a 29 year old?
Chit chat about him.
Wow. You actually think us buying Pogba would mean we have more chance of buying Bonucci as well
That's a shame.
Getting pogba completely rules out any bonucci chance. Theyre getting 100m for a player that will want to leave, bonucci wont so they have no reason to accept.
Yeah can't see it. Better options available and more likely we are looking at the £10-20m bracket anyway. Miranda/Fonte/Garay. Our funds are not limitless.
I think Jose probably has a list of 3/4 players he's looking to move on.
I like Fonte hope we go in for him.
Similar was quoted for Ramos last year, right? I think it was around that figure.
Really dont think there are any better options out there. There are other options but not better ones.
Meh.
Maybe. Doubt it.
Castles I believe said Juve want £60m. It's just frankly not worth it imo. Would much rather spend close to half that for someone like Manolas or pay out Gimenez's release clause.
Niether of those players are natural leaders from the back nor are they multiple title winners. If you want to be the best you need to hire the best. Manolas ia a fantastic player but hes no Benucci and Giminez is too young to do the role we need him to. We need someone who will be an organizer rallier and leader who will be able to place our xurrent crop at set pieces, guide them into position and keep things composed at the back.
You're right that Bonucci is better atm, but Gimenez is a top 3 young CB in the world, if not the best, so in even 2/3 years imo he'd overtake Bonucci. Your right that if we want the best, we have to hire the best. But I think, from what Castles reported, we want an experienced CB to lead the backline. Juve brought in an ageing Evra 2 years back for around £1m, to bring a bit more experience from LB. So, we don't have to spend £60m to achieve that, especially considering that transfer would be around the 7th most expensive transfer of all time and that to for a 29 year old and a centre back
.How's this working out for you King Minger?
The first part i agree with unlikely as Juve won't want to lose him.
Why would a thread about a player be locked just because its unlikely hell sign?
Because I thought if the possibility of him even leaving the club was impossible meant the thread was a non goer and I'm sure I seen this thread locked at one point I might be wrong though. So there for I thought something had happend for example the player has came out and said something for this transfer to actually be possible.
Because threads about players we are obviously not signing are pointless.
