Can't believe that we managed to sign this guy - our best buy since the 2015 window by an absolute mile.

Doesn’t matter what you pay for a player, if he is a success nobody cares, this is some player.
If we play Argentina in the World Cup he will take some getting past.
Toby and Jan were good. This man is at the highest level.

Mad that Paratici allowed him to leave Juve to go to Atalanta in the first place.

I guess they had put all their chips in on De Ligt and still had their old legendary CBs knocking about so he would've struggled to get gametime, but God I bet Juve would do anything to have him now.

We've effectively signed 3 Juve rejects and massively improved our first 11. Not the most imaginative signings perhaps, but Paratici has played a blinder by bringing in these 3 guys.

“Rejects” is so so not accurate of their situations.

Tell that to the Juve fans. They were overjoyed to lose Kulu and Bentancur.

I explained the Romero situation in my post but regardless of the word you want to use he was deemed surpluses to requirements.

They would've been happy regardless. Most of them thought they were shite and wanted them gone.
I’m not surprised — half the posters on here would probably be happy to see the back of Hojbjerg who has been brilliant for us. Most fans are too emotional.

I mean we're splitting hairs tbh. I was more just pointing out how odd it is that we were able to get 3 such good players off a single club.

It's like the opposite of when we sold Tainio, Malbranque and Chimbonda to Roy Keane's Sunderland.
