Well if we are getting telles instead of Sandro and Rudiger instead of Koulibaly/VVD and an 80 mil downgrade on Costa this may not turn out to be the epic window I was hoping for, telles is quite good and so it rudiger but they don't improve us that much like the players we have been bidding on

Would be a huge disappointment tbh, hopefully it's just media filler and we land our top targets. If we want to be the best we can't keep missing out on the best players

Agreed and unfortunately we arent looking like a team who gets it's top targets, why is a question for the board, we got money, we are in London, won the league, in the CL, Big club prestige, we should be able to land top players...

They're always trying to prove they can get a bargain on every deal. Annoying twats.

I agree, too much penny pinching it would seem. Although in this case I have a suspicion this was all for an improved contract from Juve.

Most definitely. I knew it was a BS story when they claimed we made a 60million offer for him. No way  emenalo sanctions 60 M on a wing back

It does seem like Juve are pulling different tactics. From saying he's irreplaceable a few days ago to saying PSG and City are now interested to saying they're about to give him a new 5.5m/yr contract, etc. They need to f**king decide if they want to sell to us or not and stop wasting our bloody time.

If the club as a whole sets a policy it's hard to criticise too much because they know things we don't with so many people involved and lots of thought has gone into it but in this case it's one or two people mainly Marina who seems to want to prove she can swing dicks with the big boys, seems her negotiating isn't quite as good as say Man cities guys, we are cutting off our noses to spite our face.

 Save a few million on a 60 million deal get f**k all, have to pay off the managers contract, lose out on prize money, CL money, it seems like she needs a crash course or a kick up the arse from Roman, we have been underachieving this department recently and it's down to individuals not club policy, if we are bidding 60, 70 on players the money is there and the Ok from Roman, I think she has been given his trust and he has not interfered too much, not sure that will last much longer.

I don't think Juve works like that. They sold their best players seasons past for money and sometimes other excuses eg. Vidal and drunk driving, Pogba, Pirlo retiring, Llorente and his family reasons.

Juve will sell if the buyer meets the valuation, heck even Allegri himself said he did nothing when Pogba was sold.

Seems to me like if this deal falls through, it'd be on the negotiating team

And then this later article.......so who knows what is going on, as this one claims further Sandro talks are due on Monday

If these articles are to be believed, I think it goes like this. Deal is 50/50 thus Marina or whoever sets a date for further talks and someone leaked that info. Juve/A. Sandro wants a bigger fee/bigger wage/better contract from Chelsea thus leaks this Sandro might sign new contract bla bla bla

The new wages are supposedly 93k per week. That's not exactly a significant increase from 75k per week A. Sandro is on

I think this is accurate.

for some unknown reason,and its not to do with that sh*t juve account saying he will renew,    i suddenly do think he'll stay.  Cynic in me thinks we're being used for new wage rise

Sad thing is it's not even a rise of 20k. F**kin Walcott has higher wages

I think he's coming. However of all the names mooted he's arguably the least essential because Alonso did a great job for us in most respects last season and is only 27.

Bakyoko, Lukaku, Sandro, Rudgier. I'm plenty hopeful but even if we get them it's no guarantee of success.

Love how it looks like Higuain is pointing at Sandro even though I'm sure he's just pointing at the crest on the shirt.

Although! Ignoring the fact that his jacket has the Juve badge on it, it IS BLUE...

This was last year's, funny thing was, all of them was sold

Still think Sandro will come...he's been offered a new contract at Juventus of £93k a week when we are offering £150k a week...I'm hearing that our board are still trying to get the price down from £60m and have offered £50m so far...just get it done...more meetings are scheduled for early next week so let's hope...

That Juve rebranding of their classic badge is absolutely diabolical, just saying

Agreed. It looks absolutely awful, I've always thought the Juventus badge looked smart and tidy. Now it's just a really ugly double J... Good enough reason for Sandro to leave.

Didn't know it was a rebranding, I thought it was one of those gimmick stunts PRs use. Their badge was iconic to say the least, the new badge looks something like an amateur youtuber made up 

Beginning to lose hope on Sandro now.

Good find - same thing when you look at club calendars. Decisions made at different levels.
