Juve are certainly in deep financial trouble - they lost 50m Euros in the six months to the end of December 2019 i.e. before the effects of the epidemic. This was 58m Euros worse than the previous year.
Before pandemic their shareholders agreed to invest 300m euro in near Future, not sure if current situation stopped that. But still, we aren’t in much better situation and signing Dybala doesn’t make any sense right now

But we only scored 61 goals last season and though the defense improved after the restart, our goals scored didn't. To challenge surely we've got to find another 20 goals. Dybala created more chances than any of our squad. He also scored 11 goals. I'd have thought someone who can both score and create, would make a ton of sense. If we are looking to improve, surely we've got to look at our weak areas and scoring just 61 goals is clearly not going to be enough. Utd scored 66 and they are looking to buy Sancho. Chelsea scored 69 they have bought Werner and Ziyech. How are we supposed to compete if we don't invest in our attack?

We will sign backup striker and another winger when Lamela leave. Not +70m player with +10m wage. Sure, he created more chances per 90 than any of our squad. But this comes more to style of league than just a player, because in Serie A average of goals and shots are higher than Premier League. This 8 goals difference is small and we played 3 months without main striker with Lucas as striker who didnt score a goal since 15th Dec.

But Utd and Chelsea are looking to add or have added massive quality to their attack and they already outscored us. How are the crap back up strikers we are being linked with supposed to help with that? Their actual first eleven's are being improved. We need to do the same. If Dybala is possible, we shouldn't hesitate. Personally I doubt he will be a realistic option for us, but we've got the chance, it would be crazy to not to take it. Keep your crap back up striker and winger, lets sign Dybala!

I've just watched a TV program here talking about the Dybala's rumors. They said Levy want him but it's very complex because a lot of things:
a) Juve wants to sell Ronaldo and keep him.
b) We ain't playing the next CL
c) Dybala's income is the same amount that Kane's. Just very expensive.
d) There're rumors about a deal with Real Madrid for 100m.
e) They also mentioned a problem with the foreign players allowed in each PL Club; but idk the rules about that and I think Dybala has the Polish citizenship, as Foyth has.

thanks for this, I seem to remember the Argentinian media sort of breaking the story when we were in for him last year, will be interesting to see how this develops

I can't be the only one that feels the same when they see a blue post only to then read it's content.
Think it’s more about the (not so) subtle hints A&C has expressed since Monday - this is the thread for itk to be discussed; not: height of players; formations; levy’s tightness; levy’s short sightedness; Dybalas conspiracies etc. Chat about ITK; if not explore the rest of SC. There’s threads for all tastes. Even midget porn; but that’s on the dark side of sc

Silly post, he’s one of the best players in Europe

In spells I would argue.

It's not like I wouldn't want Dybala, but I much rather us spending that money elsewhere.

I really like Bergwijn. Kane and Son are as good as any. Lo Celso can play as a no 10. Add Alli and Lucas and I don't see the need to spend everything we got on Dybala. With Davies, Sissoko and Aurier feeding him that seems a bit dear I say silly.

Ladies and gentlemen I give you

The latest winners of the ITK Thread 'oh fuck, why can't I see the ITK forums' award are, in no particular order
and

Both worthy winners i'm sure you'll agree. So lets have a big hand for our winners, yay!
Definitely think you should always announce TF bans like this. Modern day equivalent to putting heads on a pike to keep the local truants subdued.
