We'll be wearing the yellow kit tonight and it appears our lineup is unchanged from the previous game.

Seems like Azpi is getting the hate all of a sudden because of this on Twitter.

It is peculiar though, even with Real not pushing for him. We all know he wants to go there. He has made all the noise for the past few years but isn't prepared to hand in a transfer request to force it. Is he undecided or afraid that Real might not come after him if he goes all out to force the move?

Think he's out on loan at Schalke.

We may get the 65 million but would we even reinvest and reinvest in getting better player(s)? This board would probably end up signing some dud on a free!

True. He should be able to speak Italian and IIRC, he mentioned Zappacosta would help him to settle at the club too.

Daily Mail also reporting the same thing...

Translation: 'There is an agreement in principle between Milan and Juventus for Bonucci-Caldara swap deal + Higuain's arrival on loan.'

Going by Jorginho's Instagram account, it seems he only hangs out with the Brazilians in the team. Not that there is anything wrong with it but can someone please tell him there's others around too?

That 'one of our best players' definition varies.

Wonder if he's kept around only because Hazard, Willian aren't back yet OR Sarri actually thinks he can be of use in the first team.

Not sure how saying "it doesn't feel right if Hazard stays only because he couldn't get his Madrid move" suddenly becomes all about loyalty. You read too much into the analogy, Tomo.

Look, I already said I doubt Hazard's commitment will drop if he does stay and that's not even the point. I don't even know why you're comparing Hazard's situation with Cahill. Put the analogy earlier aside for a second, how is Hazard would be "forced" to stay if he can't get his Madrid move and us replacing Cahill with someone better even the same?

How is it not the same or similar for that matter? He has been talking about wanting to go to Madrid for years and if/when that move does't happen, he'll like stay and "forced" to settle for second best. Would be great for us and all but it just wouldn't feel fight. It would be a blot in the copybook.

Would be great if he does stay but at the same time, it would be like a marriage made in convenience. Not saying his commitment level would drop but him staying because he couldn't get his dream move to Real feels somewhat wrong and like he's forced to settle for second best, after spending years eyeing a move to there. It's like having a girlfriend/boyfriend who's forced to remain with you because she/he couldn't find a better partner.

There are so many contrasting reports at the moment. Hard to believe which is the truth. Juventus might think about selling Rugani if they manage to get Bonucci back from Milan.

Hardly matters if Real still don't come calling for him in 2019 or even 2020, which would eventually "force" him into signing the new contract. Like you alluded to, Real are more likely to go after Neymar or Mbappe because they score more goals and provide more benefits from a commercial point of view. Plus, Perez recently said he wants to get young players who will become a superstar in the future and someone like Mbappe definitely falls into the category as opposed to Hazard who is already 27 years old.

Rumors originated by Sky Sports feel nothing more than an attempt to make profit through their SkyBet, like this one for example.

This would be hilarious in 2-3 years time, one way or another.
