George North is a fucking hero.
Christ, that's a stretch of a kick even for 1/2p
Edit: Yup, least he didn't Courtney Beale it. Chris Patterson would've made that...

Update with new (and possible/probable) signings. Fucking more than formidable, guys.
3-5-2
------------------------Buffon----------------------------
---Bar-------Bonny(Ogbonny)------Chiellini----
-Licht(Cacer)-------------------------Asa(Kola)---
------------------------Pirlo(Pogba)-------------------
-----------Vidal----------------------Marchisio-------
----------Tevez/Gio(Jovetic?)----------------------
------------------------------Llorente(Vucinic)---------
4-3-3
------------------------Buffon----------------------------
-Licht(Cac)--Barz(Ogb)---Chiell(Bon)---Kolarov(Peluso)-
----------------------Pirlo(Pogba)---------------------------
---------Vidal-----------------------Marchisio--------------
--Tevez(Pepe)--------------------------Vuc/Gio(Jojo?)-
---------------------Llorente/Tevez--------------------------
Since we're signing Ogbonna, and we're possibly in for Jovetic and Kolarov, I think somehow Marry might actually have somehow done better than the past two years when we got Pirlo, Licht, Barzagli, Pogba, Vidal etc. It's looking very promising and, unlike in the past, when we get linked with players we actually sign them.
I'm thinking we might also end up pipping Milan and signing Andrea Poli. I hope so. Our priority now has to be LB with Kolarov and maybe even Jovetic, but I'd like to see Poli come as well.

Timerda, I know you don't show that Ogbonna leaving is a big deal, but let's be frank: he's a fantastic and promising defender and you could have used him for another year.
And, I'm sorry, but Immobile is not living up to his potential--Serie B top goal scorer under Zeman is no real metric. But he is co-owned so I hope he does well for you and us.

£6m for Kolarov. DO IT MARRY.
Edit: apparently funding this by selling Reto Ziegler, who we got on a free and never played a single game in our shirt, for about 4m euros.

I kinda question 'promising' when he's already 25 years old.
Admittedly, I know very little about Ogbonny, but can he replace Bonucci in our back three? I don't think anyone can except for Marrone. He would be Chiellini's back up in this formation or a (rather average) left wingback.

It's weird that he's getting business done so early this year, too. It's not even July.
Conte must have said some mean things in that meeting about the future and lit a fire under Marry,
Ogbonna is no Rugani!

Not the strongest.
Healy and O'Connell would have started but both are injured. Regular season in Europe is finished. The Australians are right in the middle of their season though.

@Shake: the one thing I'm disappointed is that we haven't really done a good job at surfacing top quality talent from our primavera, excepting Marchisio. I don't know if Rugani will be any different, as I don't know the player at all. And I guess the dream of Sorensen becoming a world class CB is fading.
@Zab: dat italian definition of "young player." To be fair, 25 is still very young for a defender. I mean, a player like Barzagli who uses his ability to read play rather than sheer physical strength has demonstrated how you can be a starting defender well into your thirties (at least in Italy).
Ogbonna is a highly mobile defender and very adept at long passes. So, pretty much exactly like Bonucci I think.

Yeah
Our primavera players are just bargaining chips I'm afraid.

I think its because our scouting has become so good. We've signed amazing young keepers from around the globe, including domestic talent in Liali, plus Pogba......

Thiago is staying.

Easy for you guys to say Misters "We just signed Neymar for £50m" and "We just signed like 5 players and we have also signed MKH he isn't going to Dortmund he's amazing and he's going to Liverpool."
Eugh.
You're on the list
Thiago is getting his t shirt printed at the megastore right now
I'm getting frustrated waiting for Van Ginkel to get done, let alone this bloody Cavani transfer saga. There's more reports out of Italy, supported by that hack Tancredi Palmeri, that Chelsea have agreed personal terms pending an agreement on the transfer fee. Doubtless it will come to nothing. Not that personal terms were ever the sticking point anyway.

There are quite a few exciting prospects, though I don't know if any of them are ultimately going to be first team players. Padovan and Beltrame up front (Beltrame was the one who came on for the end of one first-team game this season as a substitute); Schiavone, Sakor, and Mattiello in midfield; Rugani, Magnusson, and Pol Garcia in defence; Branescu in goal.
Don't forget Gio and PDC came through the Primavera too, though I guess they're not exactly "top quality".
We also have a lot of young players we bought in working hard at other clubs, but only Leali, Gabriel, Bouy, Boakye, and Gabbiadini look like they could be Juve players in the long-term.
I know the management of the club want to boost the youth sector, but we are very far from being Barcelona, or even Ajax. Or even Southampton.
Coaching badges baby!
#GiggsScholesNevilleNevilleFuture #believe
Imagine Giggs as manager, Nev as assistant, Scholes and Phil and Butt as coaches, Beckham as marketing director. Trebles every year
Mirror reporting that we're interested in Lewandowski, what do you think? Wouldn't mind him if we're not getting Cavani. He'd presumably be cheaper.
things viva is good at
1. Being a cunt
2. Telling me about finances
3. Eating biscuits
4. Chatting up united reserve players
5. Celebrating Jewish tradition
6. Pulling Cleffs
Think he has his heart set on Bayern. The Mirror is on my list of very, very unreliable sources in any case.
I think Cuntredi is quoting SportMediaset this time.
Which is the equivalent of the Daily Mail quoting The Sun. And yeah, agreeing 'personal terms' means fuck all, trust me.

So this random bloke on twitter with 19 followers just favorited one of my tweets, I didn't recognise the name so I clicked on his profile, had a little scroll and noticed a tweet from 2 days ago: 'Arnold Bennet ~ The moment youre born youre done for.'
wut
It's amazing that some people still think Palmeri is reliable after all the shit he posts. I remember just last month, he said that Chelsea were close to getting Boateng and it was subsequently never referred to again.
And Mediaset has been a joke throughout this Cavani saga. I believe they reported that Chelsea have signed him at least twice.
