There's no way he joins Arsenal. There is a lot better clubs fighting for his signature.

True but they have been spending money and pay huge wages. They’ll be in the mix for him. That’s why it’s imperative we finish above them in the league again.

not the biggest fan of Mckennie but this is a ridiculous comment. you aren't a key player at Juventus if you "have sissoko written all over you".

He's not good enough on the ball for me but he'd be our best midfielder as it stands (not a high bar).
For what it is worth, if I were buying a US midfielder, would rather get Tyler Adams from RB Leipzig. More in the mold of a Kante (not saying he is currently at that level) but is a baller and the most important player on the USMNT. McKennie may be better in attack but Adams better at everything else.

i dont necessarily disagree and i like adams but would rather different options to both players.

i was more commenting on the absurdity that mckennie and sissoko were anything alike

Can't believe I was naive enough to think our midfield was starting to take shape a few weeks back. If we can get the additions right in this position under Conte it will make an enormous difference.

There's no way he's worth 80m

65 million quid? Yes he absolutely is. We can't let Arsenal get him. We badly need another striker. Arsenal ready have PEA, signing Vlahovic would be just what we should be doing to add to Kane.

Can't see him joining Arsenal though.

The fact Dybala hasn't signed a new contract shows how much Juve are struggling financially. Really he would be an excellent purchase for the right side of our front three. That being said, i am quite surprised we haven't been linked at all with him, nor anyone else.

I'm really not convinced about Dybala and never have been. Not really a goalscorer, not really a creator. Not quick, doesn't really beat people, can't play up front, can't play wide... sexy name but I'm just not sure what problem he solves.

I'd back him to come to us over them

Feels to me like, ideal world, we need:
- a CB
- a CM
- an attacking mid
- a CF

Tough ask, and will take time. We have Sarr in the summer too. Would be nice if we could get Kessie and Valhovic this window. I doubt it though

For what its worth, fab romano on the last word on spurs vid with some snippets, said kessie deal not close, although paratici is a fan, so prob either him or brozovic. Also expects 2-3 signings in jan. Give it a month, conte will know who can go, too.

There are rumors that Lautaro will leave Inter in the summer even though he's just signed a new deal because Inter are so strapped for cash. So that could be one for the summer again if Suning cannot find a buyer for them. The club just posted almost a $300m loss last year & just lost all their Chinese sponsorship deals(outside of Suning obviously). I'd definitely look at De Vrij, Brozovic, Lautaro & Skriniar.

Dybala, I'm not sure whats going on with his situation but his form has fallen off a bit as has Juve's. Read today Paratici is back in for another Juve player we were linked with, McKennie, though. So maybe he could see whats going on with Dybala as well to see if theres anything to be had there.

Quite intrigued he said he doesnt see Conte going back in for former players.
