Yeap, Spain has dominated the European competition for the last few years. Europa and UCL both went to Spanish teams.

They must be doing something right.

World Cup for Brazil to win back to back would also be possible. But this year I think France, Spain and Germany look quite strong.

So many transfer rumors to do with Juve lately. Not even Icardi in the mix.

I think I'm just gonna sit back and watch things unfold; comment only when things are confirmed.

ya, the transfer rumour involving mauro icardi is perplexing. he would be a great signing but he is inter's captain so what are the chances?

as shocking as this might sound..

Juve & inter might be an eternal enemies on/off the pitch, but from a business standpoint, Juve getting the player from inter is "easier" compared to the likes of fiorentina, lazio

Lol. I would rather start Kean if Higuain leaves for Icardi. He's just a traditional #9, like Nistelrooy. And you should see how many sitters he missed the whole season. Yeah he scored a ton but he did cost Merda a lot of points too. And his history is the main reason why he's not included in the WC squad. I wouldn't want him near our team at all

Yea I was about to ask about Moise Kean, what happened to him? And what about Icardi's history ya? Either I don't remember or I have no idea.

Sincere question: Any reason why from a business standpoint it would be easier to get Icardi from Inter as compared to SMS from Lazio? Have we ever traded players between Inter? I know we bought Nedved from Lazio...

Actually, if they DO sell him to us, they are in fact strengthening us and weakening themselves...Icardi was the ONE guy who would always score against us, it was so annoying haha.

definitely. For all the Hat-trick he scored in a match, he missed atleast double chances for goal. Swapping Higuain with Icardi is definitely a downgrade for Juve

Lazio = claudio lotito hated Juve to the core. He rather sell his player for the cheap for any team except Juve. Base on history, Lazio also known as Inter feeder club

Fiorentina = the only good deal between both team as far as i can remember was Bernardeschi. Juve got "scammed" in Felipe Melo deal. And Fiorentina refuse to sell Cuadrado to Juve, The only reason
we have him now bcoz he move to Juve via Chelsea.

Inter = Fabian Carini for Fabio Cannavaro. Best deal ever(for Juve)

We got better deals from inter when we got Cannavaro. But we also gave inter world class players like vieri and baggio when they were surplus.

personally I don't like getting icardi as well. higuain has very good technique and rarely missed when he has chance. if he is at inter and plays at icardi position he might get more than 30 goals per season. he is however 31 years old now, so getting 60mil out of him is very good deal and swap with icardi; depends. max allegri can turn lazy and big head players like tevez into superstar again, he might do the same again on icardi. max just don't give damn on star status, complete control on big names.

so probably I would accept swap icardi/higuain.

actually i wouldnt mind icardi as bad his character is. i am desperate for the UCL. heck i am willing to take a convict if he can bring us the UCL

see sergio ramos's fouling of salah in the UCL final. i agree he was very bad to do that but see what he had in his hands? the UCL trophy. i have reached the pt where any player will do as long as he can win us that damn UCL. throw lo stile juve out of the window for the time being if needed

indeed, but Juve just don't have the money to spend year in year out. next year is another rebuilding phase. depending on the next set of players we could guesstimate how far we could go.

having icardi is more plus indeed.

My brother in law showed me a GIF of Ramos doing the exact same thing to Dani Alves in last year's final!! The move, the arm/elbow lock looked identical!! It's uncanny!

On a more serious note, I can understand that we want to win the UCL like uber desperately, but to be really frank, I mean...if we were to win it like Real, with Ramos doing that kind of stuff....I'm kinda on the fence on that one. I'd prefer us to win clean if there was such a thing. But just my personal opinion la...

His current wife was Maxi Lopez's wife back then So yeah, she cheated on Lopez and they were supposed to be best friends previously. It's kinda open secret that Messi has requested Icardi no to be called up. He's such a prolific striker but only had 4 international caps for the senior national team. So, I wouldn't want such a snake to be anywhere near our locker room

The story goes Maxi Lopez cheated on her too, so it was mutual cheating, just a mess the entire thing.

Milan and Juventus are discussing an exchange deal: Bonaventura +32M€ for Higuain.

Tier 1 source for Milan.

Lol! Thanks but no thanks! He's not even good enough to start for current Milan team. Not to mention he's another client of the fatso. I rate Bona slightly better than Sturaro

That's a messy situation man.

i know this is just a mere rumors but it definitely didn't make sense on Juve part atleast.

lets say Bona can play as offensive midfielder(sometimes left/right side midfielder like he did for Milan)...when Juve
have the likes of Pjanic, Khedira, Marchisio & possibly Emre Can playing in the centre, while also they've offensive
player like Bernardeschi, Costa, Cuadrado, the returning Pjaca.

in other words Juve didn't need Bonaventura at all, while Milan would be improving their squad with Higuain (he's definitely
miles better than the likes of Kalinic, Andre Silva, Cutrone, Bacca), but Juve rarely involved in a deal that doesn't benefited em
