If we get Sess and LC over the line today I'll will be very happy with this window. We will have a very good competitive squad with talents on the way up in their careers.

PD would of brought us into dreamlands and expectations, but I do understand people's disappointment.

Ironically, the most insightful thing that’s been posted in here is JJ saying he has no idea what’s happening.

I’d imagine we’re at least an hour away from getting information that isn’t just people throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks.
My main concern here is that JJ alluded to a select few people being in a meeting and Romano seemingly reporting that the meeting was concluded

They’re saying they won’t sell without a replacement. But isn’t their window still open for 2 more weeks. Plenty of time to get a replacement.

They have another couple of weeks to find one. It's not deadline day for them.

Might still be enough to make them think twice though.

Agree, they've actually got plenty of time to get someone else lined up

I don't know enough about Juve but would Eriksen be a good fit for them?

If so, and Christian happy to go there, perfect deal all round.

Unfortunately I think Christian only has eyes for Spain.
I think they feel they can't lose both mandzukic and Dybala, if they loose the former, Dybala can play out wide or in the centre at a pinch.

I thin Eriksen would fit in a Sarri side. He presses very well and passes very well, so it would work. But, he cant play up front, which means they would be short in that part of the pitch. If we were to give them a player, Moura would make much more sense. Though, why would we do that?

If this deal was truly off then I would have thought we'd have heard much more positive noises coming from Portugal re Fernandes as a contingency.

This Dybala deal has much more mileage in it yet you feel.

Maybe before Utd came in with a big wad of cash for Mandzukic

Yeah but imagine you are the player. By all accounts you were happy and had no thoughts of leaving. Then Sarri decides he doesn't want you and Juve actively try and force you out. You resist at first (asking massive wages etc from United) but in the end you change your mind and agree to join Spurs, agree personal terms and seem reasonably happy to join (girlfriend even tweets she fancies living in London)......then just when you are all set to go,Juve decide you can't - yet nothing has changed in the managers mind has it ? so you know deep down that the manager doesn't fancy you.

Not a good situation and one that will need some major backtracking on or he ends up moving anyway (although obviously not to us once the window shuts!)

I don't believe the replacement angle, they've actively been looking to sell Dybala and their window doesn't close until the end of the month

Love the positivity and that is my feeling too - it's like we would have BF waiting in the wings ready to go..

I was always slightly skeptical as to whether this Dybala deal would get over the line, but even still Ornstein's info makes no sense. The clubs have obviously been in discussions for a while about it and it was Juve's idea to get rid of Dybala in the first place so for Ornstein to be right the following sequence of events would have to occur:
  1. Juve decide they want to move Dybala on and start shopping him around
  2. Juve and Dybala meet with several clubs, including Spurs, to discuss details
  3. Juve and Dybala continue to have talks with Spurs and reach some kind of deal in principle and go away to draw up the paperwork/work out the specifics
  4. Despite all this going on for a week or so, a few short hours before the transfer deadline, Juve suddenly out of nowhere realise "Hang on a minute, if we sell him, then we probably need to buy someone else! Oh shit" and then suddenly pull the plug on everything.
THat just doesn't make any sense unless Juve were West Ham levels of incompetent (which they aren't usually) OR they've just been stringing us along for shits and giggles, which doesn't really make sense because they're the ones who decided to try and shift Dybala in the first place.

Personaly, I think Ornstein is full of shit. Not saying I think the deal will go through, it may well fall down, but I don't believe that them all of a sudden deciding they need to sign a replacement first will be the reason for it.

Son I aint got time to read your essay. Shit's changing here every 5 seconds.

But they were in for Dybala as well and none of us know what's really going on.

They were. And now they’re in for Mandzukic. Can completely see how that would make Juve nervous about letting both go on top of Kean without a replacement lined up.

This might come down to a case of only one of Dybala and Mandzukic can leave. Pitting us and united in a competition to see who can dance better for Juve. Can Levy dance??

Just got really angry at my PC for not working, and realise I've been pressing F4 for about 30 seconds.

Why won't it refresh?

Fuck sake Stoof. I'm going to need a long rest after this. Lucky it's not my stag tomorrow. Fuck sake.

If it does then it makes a lot more sense for them to sell Mandzukic who's older and not as talented.
