Shame that it seems like he's going to the States, would've liked to see him retire in a Roma shirt. Absolute legend.

Cuadrado going back to Chelsea, Conte wants him.

FFFKKSS

It's a double loss for me. He was crappie at Chelsea so it won't help Chelsea or himself

Sad, I was hoping he'd stay at Juve, he's a good fit. We desperately need a world class central midfielder though. Khedira and Asamoah are made of glass, Marchisio injury prone, Sturaro isn't good yet.

Cuadrado may stay, I still have hope. My main worry for the summer is Morata.

. Inter v Udinese made history as the first Serie A game – only the second in Europe – with only foreign players.
The Nerazzurri and Friulani stepped out at San Siro with 22 foreigners to begin the match.
According to Mister Chip, this is the first ever such scenario in a Serie A fixture.
It has only happened once before in the five big European leagues.
That was a Premier League match between Portsmouth and Arsenal on December 30, 2009.

gross

Ninja! Huge goal

Congrats, guys! 5 in row, 24 victories in 25 matches, Grande Allegri, Grande Juve!

Congrats to Juve, deserved champions. Commiserations to Napoli but they crumbled massively in the last few weeks.

One more win needed to secure CL and win this bet

Napoli is good, but they've been having bad coaches lately. Coach makes huge difference in SeriA. I'd like to see Anceloti coach back in SeriA.
Alegri has overachieved twice in a row plus that time in Milan.
Who has overachieved crazy over the past decade or two? Ranieri. Also italian.

Sarri is a great coach. Their problem is they quit when Juve beat them 1-0 off the deflected Zaza shot

Congrats to Juventus, astonishing feat to win it 5 times in a row. Can anyone realistically challenge them in the next few years? It's been 5 years since Milan won it in 2011. I'm sure that partly hinges on Pogba's future, but it seems that their main rivals (Napoli & Roma) are far too inconsistent and need to put it together. I like Napoli's core and I think if they play the transfer market well, they could at least theoretically give them a run. As for Roma, Fiorentina, Milan clubs etc. I really don't know what to expect from them anymore.

Napoli needs just a couple good moves this summer. Juve, if they are not scared and stupid next season, should rest players before their CL matches. I'd rather see them start 11 youth team scrubs the league match before a CL game than do what they did this year. This would likely gift Napoli the league, but that is ok, we won 5 times in a row :clap:

Can Juve spend big?

Would be nice if instead of selling top world class players like Pogba or Dybala, they bought some more and become an European super power like Madrid, Barca, Bayern, etc

Juve had a record year last year with ~350 mil. € revenue. That's still more than 100 mil. behind the big spenders.
This year with elimination in round of 16 the figure might go down again.

Judging by the past windows I'd guess they will not be able to spend much more than 50-60 mil. unless they sell, too.
Coman will most likely be bought by Bayern - so maybe 70-80 mil. is a better number for now.
Enough money for one elite player and 2-3 supporting guys I'd say.

Although, with the hundreds of players that belong Juve they will most likely be able to create another 50 mil. from players they don't really need.

Wish they'd keep Cuadrado and buy James. A James, Dybala, Pogba trio would be sick

Post #680 » by **magik9113** » Thu Apr 28, 2016 3:59 pm

the only player Juve may lose is Morata. Cuadrado doesn't want to go back to Chelsea and I believe he's set to stay. There will be articles about him leaving all summer because newspapers gon newspaper.
We don't have much spending power, maybe enough for one star player like Foye said
