Spurs vs. Juventus friendly coming up in a few days.

Looking forward to it.

Does Juve really buy Higuain? Juve management usually strikes me as smart business men but investing 95 mil. in a 28 y/o doesnt seem smart at all.

They need a top tier striker to compete in CL, with this signs (and Benatia, Alves and Pijanic, pjaca) they are became a serious threat to first tier club like Bayern, Real and Barcellona.

Higuain is a career bottler when the pressure is on him. Hard to see imagine him making Juve a serious threat to first tier teams.

If anything Dybala will make them a serious threat.

Ei Magic, are we going to see a bidding war for Herrera between Juve and Napoli, after the transfers of Pogba to United and Higuain to Juve ?

you know who else was a career bottler? Arjen Robben

I support the decision to pay the ridiculous release clause. He makes us better no doubt. He doesn't need to be the man to win us CL....Dybala is that guy as Foye said. We also have the best defense around

his name has been thrown around but I don't expect to see him go to either Juve or Napoli.

Juve financially doesn't even need to sell Pogba after getting Higuain, but sure it makes it more likely.
We can sell guys like: Zaza, Pereyra, Lemina, Herananes, and Sturaro and make some $$

You will never get a better offer than this one. For example, you could easily pay Griezmann's release clause with the Pogba money.

We'd need a center mid if we sell Pogba. The reason he costs so much is cause he's damn good. He has great chemistry with our squad and now that we got Higuain and the rest of our new guys we are better than last season if Pogba stays. It's a great offer but keeping him is a great option as well

But 3 times the price of Kanté!!

You should have pushed for him, he would have been the ideal player infront of your defence.

Would have loved Kante but

Pogba Marchisio Pjanic Khedira Sturaro ...I'm content. We need a couple upgrades for their back ups tho to have depth when Sami gets injured and Marchis is already out for months

So I wonder who we get in the midfield with all the Pogba money.

Farewell to Paul. Thanks for helping us win several scudetti, and for making us a **** ton of money $$$$$

So Juve tried out Dybala behind Mandzukic and Higuain, with Pjanic playing the Marchisio/Pirlo role. And there's some definite potential there in that

You should go after Isco or james

I kinda expect that they are going to buy both. With Schürrle and Kruse gone they have nobody up front except Gomez and 19 y/o Mayoral.
Dost is still there but I expect him to be sold, too.

Overall, Allofs has done a terrible job in Wolfsburg since de Bruyne left.

We need to get Cuadrado back + buy Matuidi and call it a summer.
