At least you got Morata now. And he got injured 2 days after he was presented as a Juve player. Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing Laughing

Facepalm 20 million -the entire budget- down the drain

Bet Florentino is already organizing mojito parties near plaza mayor! Laughing

why do they such silly deals? there's a buyback clause, where Real can buy Morata back for 30-36 mil. I understand if you're a smaller club (remember Carvajal and Bayer Leverkusen), but a club as big as Juve shouldn't do such deals imo... Morata is a big talent, supposedly he works out in Turin, he's off back to Spain ASAP

Well that's the thing, Juve isn't a big club anymore. It's in survival mode using it's reputation to act like its one of the big clubs.

That being said, I hope they get their things together, we need more strong competitions and big clubs (preferable healthy ones).

Yeah, it's hard to compete with the big guys when you have such a small budget plus a salary cap. All the AAA strikers were taken, the few ones that they contacted said nope for various reasons (except Sanchez, he said yes but wanted too much money) so Morata was basically the only temporary choice for now. Sad

Meanwhile though, a reassuring start with Allegri on board. Juve just lost the first official friendly match against a team of amateurs (~level 6-7 of the English football league system). What the hell Very Happy Laughing

They're a top 10 club on the planet, which makes them pretty big in my book. Obviously not among the top dogs, but they're easily just below them Smile And as you mentioned, reputation is exactly, why they shouldn't gave done it, not to mention the financial reasons. If the dude works out, he'll be worth much more than that. Btw that buyback clause is in with every young player Real Madrid sells, it's just the way they do business.

I understand mate, basically no one in Italy can afford the top players or AAA as you like to call them, but there are millions of registered players, Morata can't be the only choice. Plenty of other fish in the sea Very Happy

Btw enjoy your Allegri, hated him in Milan Twisted Evil

The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don’t always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don’t always spoil the good things and make them unimportant.

Let's hope they'll let Lukaku go then, it's clear Mourinho isn't going to use him and they don't want to loan him out due to him being only under contract for 2 years.

Haha Crying or Very sad . The wisest and and cheapest way would have been Berardi, he's talented, young, and Juve already owns him. But nope, better waste lots of money on foreign players that will return to their base after 12 months. That's indeed some bad management when you think about it. Speaking of which, now they want Eto'o xD

So, this happened:

#AskJesus "Can you explain why you walk on water but dive on grass?"

#AskJesus "Your name is Jesus and you're good at crossing. Coincidence? "

#AskJesus "Is it annoying that - despite the fact you made 48 appearances last season - Richard Dawkins still doesn't believe you exist? "

#AskJesus "People are saying you cleansed a leper, but you didn't bother to help Tevez. Why?"

#AskJesus "if you can convert water into wine, can you convert Soldaldo into a striker?"

#AskJesus "Are you and Victor Moses good friends? I feel like you should be friends"

#AskJesus "You fed 5,000 people with five loaves and two fish, so why didn't you give Yaya a cake?"

Jeebuz, Lukaku for 35 Mil. to Everton. Contract for 5 years.

Thought Everton wasn't willing to go above 20 Mil. € and that he'd be stuck in Chelsea. Good he's out of there

Edit: Other Sources saying: 29 Mil.€ Still a huge pile of cash!
