Juve (or Conte) 'ruined' him, I remember when he was a good box to box midfielder at Udinese.

To be fair, he was very good at left wing back, but yes, when we signed him I was excited at seeing that box-to-box midfielder that bossed it at Udinese and was surprised to see him shoved out wide. I wouldn't say he was 'ruined' because he still did very well but he wasn't quite as explosive as he was at Udinese. If he recovers from his injuries I hope Allegri will still utilise him. Sturaro and Padoin are very average players and I'd rather Asamoah were used as a backup than them.

For me, Juve's best midfield right now is Khedira, Pogba, Marchisio and Pereyra, providing Allegri continues with the 4-4-2 diamond he used mostly last year. Since we have Evra and Alex Sandro out left then I can't see why Asamoah doesn't get used as a CM backup as we'll have plenty of games and Khedira is very injury prone (don't actually see him playing a lot of games). He's better than Sturaro and Padoin who are both pretty average, IMO.

Cuadrado is a strange one, not sure where he's going to play as he's very much a right wing forward and Juve just doesn't use wing forwards. I don't think Allegri will start playing 4-3-3 as he's comfortable with 4-4-2 or 3-5-2. Hernanes rumour pleases me though. Him, Pogba, Marchisio and Pereyra have a bit of everything.

You lose an Angel but sign a Prophet, not bad.

Juve sign Hernanes, Ljajic has moved to Inter, Giaccherini's gone to Bologna, and rather interestingly Blaszczykowski has goen to Fiorentina to replace Joaquin who has gone to Real Betis.

De Ceglie and Isla have gone to Marseille with Mario Lemina going on loan to Juve (with an option to buy) in return. @Bus-Conductor and @Blackcanary - you're both avid Ligue 1 watchers. What's Lemina like and will he suit playing in Italy?

I haven't seen loads of him because he was an intermittent starter (he's only 20/21) but I think he's got a decent all round skill set. He's mobile, quite tenacious, can move forward with the ball, gets up and down and round the pitch well enough. His passing is economical and tidy usually and does look to play a progressive pass at times.

Man UTD other deals could go south if this doesnt happen as well i would think so if this doesnt go through it could cost them.


Deal not happening -->

Man United office: "Shit cant afford 40 m Martial now, what can we do" - "Ah well, 26m for Berahino should do it"

--> spursy

Nah. They're signing Martial for €80m and they can more than him and Berahino and pretty much anyone else without breaking ffp. Their commercial revenue for a quarter trumps our yearly commercial revenue.

@English_AS: Now we are hearing that United did send the documents on time but in a format that couldn't be opened at the LFP. Windows 95?

SnapChat.....Real didn't screenshot it before it expired.

Pretty sure that is how Levy will be doing all his deals moving forward.
