If they lose Pirlo, Pogba and Tevez - that's a lot of quality and experience to replace.Looks like they are now back as a major force again. Mandzukic, Dybala and Khadeira in so far. Added to an already impressive squad. Pogo says he doesn't mind staying but will probably leave. Even if he does, its another 70m in the coffers.

Mandzukic should do very well in Itay, but Khedira had so many injuries, can he stay fit?
Juve may keep hold of Pogba, but lots can change before the window shuts. If he does go we'll look to pick up a player as part of a deal. PSG want him and we want Verratti + cash in return. City want him and want Jovetic + cash in return. There are deals to be made and Juve usually invest money wisely.
Tevez and Pirlo are big blows though, but they won't be around forever. Need to look to replace them at some point. I'm happy with the 3 new signings, but I hope we conclude our business soon as I don't want to see too much disruption of the squad.
I think Pirlo has been wonderful, but I honestly don't think he will be a massive loss now, his powers are visibly waning. If Pogba was going to PSG, I'd go for Rabiot, you will do for him what you did for Pogba, help him realise his potential and he's an almost like for like replacement (not identical obviously but both play LM in a CM3). Rabiot don't quite have Pogba presence but he does have a slightly more composed brain.
Losing Pirlo now is sad still but not as much of a setback I don't think. Keeping Pogba for another season (as well as Vidal, wtf is all this talk about him going?) would keep the midfield on a level where another tilt at the CL isn't out of the question.
The biggest thing is how well Dybala can fill the Tevez shaped hole, but it seems like the club are pretty confident given they've let him go without much of a fight.
I saw Berardi had joined Sassuolo (with a supposed buyback clause for next season) but nothing on Zaza, has there been any news on his transfer?
No news on Zaza. I personally don't think he's good enough to make the step up.
The Vidal rumour is odd. We've heard our own ITKs say that Schneiderlin could hinge on Arsenal getting Vidal. Well there is nothing coming out of Italy to suggest that Vidal is leaving Juve. Last I heard he was happy at Juve. Going to Arsenal would be a step down, even if the EPL is a bigger league.
Sounds like they will lose Vidal.If they lose Pirlo, Pogba and Tevez - that's a lot of quality and experience to replace.

Tevez, Pogba, Vidal, Pirlo in one window is big loss.
Marginal top rate in italy is 43%Surely the tax in Italy and his wages in Juve are more favourable too?
Marginal top rate in italy is 43%
Vidal is on €4m until 2017 as per the wage list published for last season
I think even Tottenham would be willing to pay him more than that so Arsenal 100% will.
Now that is interesting. I genuinely thought he was on about double that. I was of the opinion that he's one of Juve's top earners.
They publish the list every year always shocks we the difference in wages but he is Juve's 2nd highest earner.
Poor ol Carlitos went from £150,000p/w at city to a max of £70,000p/w allowing for currency fluctuations
Ashley Cole went from £200,000 to £45,000 OUCH
But on the flipside property is a hell of alot cheaper and I find when I'm in Italy I live at a higher standard for less soooooo it might be a case of swings and roundabouts
Aren't wages in Italy Net still, rather than Gross?
