Problem being that Juve are saying they don't want to sell!

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.

Not if they sell Caldara in the process. I think Juventus ends up selling either Rugani or Caldara.

For whatever it is worth, Juve fans rate Caldara higher. The majority would be okay with selling Rugani.

 

I really wouldn't mind missing out on Rugani, he just doesn't move the needle for me. Not my type of defender either, he is way too passive.

I'm still just curious about where the hell he'd play in our team. Everyone assumed David Luiz was going to leave but he certainly doesn't look to be doing so now. So that means we already have 3 CB's who are comfortable on the ball. Already going to be difficult to see him on the bench now he's fully fit. Bringing in Rugani on top of that doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

We saw against Perth that David looked at home in Sarri's system.

I actually hope this transfer doesnt go through. What we need more is a goalscorer and a winger if willian goes.

Yep. At this moment in time Rugani would just be a luxury/insurance player. All of Christensen/Rüdiger/Luiz will feel they should be starters. Having even more competition is overkill. Plus, Cahill is kind of the forgotten man. Wonder what happens with him.

Did you just call Branislav a donkey? Show some fucking respect for one of our greatest players, ever.

His last year (and a half maybe) here was horrid. He cost us at least 5,6 games, He got beat like a rented mule at least 3, 4 times a game. Mourinho just kept trotting him out like he was the only RB on the surface of the earth.

It was worst defence of a title in the Premier League history, and he played a big role in that. I am sure you will find comments FAR worse than mine littered all over this board during that time.

True To this day I have never seen more abuse towards own players as I did back then (and I was a part of that, not shifting any blame)... It was an amazing meltdown period best forgotten.

The posts about late years Ivan make the current Cahill posts look like they're on Lampard's thread.

It was a shame.  Ivan was immense for us.  Better to leave a year early than a year late.  Unfortunately, in this case it was more like 2 or 3 too late.  It wouldn't have been so bad if he wasn't a nailed on starter.

Not his fault, yes. There was no lack of effort, it's just his body was gone. He was never quick for a full-back, but when you're fatigued and your legs are gone then there is not much you can do against speedy wingers. Mourinho's obsession in playing him puzzles me to this day, a fix was so obvious but never truly tried. It just shows perfectly how much Mourinho values personality over actual skill.
