It's January. The transfer window is now open in most leagues. There have been some signings. There will be a lot of transfer rumors. Most will be false. The only transfers your club will do this month will be sending some U-21 players to League One clubs. Unless you are talking about Chelsea, because they're selling Cesc to some Turkish or Chinese or UAE club.

Maybe someone will hold up a dildo on TV in Watford's parking lot on January 31st, so we do have that to look forward to.

Here are some thrilling transfers that happened already

I'm sure Juve already have a contract for Chiesa waiting for the summer when they resell a broken Bernardeschi back to you guys.

Hell, they can have a broken Cuadrado too to help sweeten the deal

Many places reporting that Ramsey signed his pre contract today with Juve. 5 year contract, €6.5m annual wages.

That last contract extension for Khedira was so dumb.

Can was out for a couple of months because he had a thyroid condition that required surgery. He's been getting pretty regular minutes since he returned, as the first midfielder off the bench. He's been ok, looked really good at times, but made some high profile mistakes too.

He was good at Torino when he was there as well, not great but one of the better players. I was surprised he moved to MLS. That said he's easily one of the top 2 or 3 MLS players.

Wrong Atlanta player, actually, you're thinking of Martinez.

I think Almiron is good enough to play in England, he's got enough pace and skill, and has proven that he can handle the abuse from physical defenders even though he's not a big guy. His finishing is inconsistent, but he is really good on the counter and sets up a lot of opportunities for teammates.

Gattuso talking about how Higuain wants to force through the transfer to Chelsea

quote:

I haven’t figured out what Higuain is unhappy with, because I see him look content and involved in the locker room atmosphere. We’ll see what happens. If it was up to me, I’d invite him to my house, lock him in a room and throw him food every two to three hours. Unfortunately, I can't do that.

They're too late for that.

So it sounds like Mandzukic might miss the rest of the season if he ends up needing surgery for this thigh injury he picked up this week. I honestly wonder if Juve would consider recalling Higuain.

Lot of places reporting that Juve and Chelsea agreed to the Higuain loan, with performance clauses that would auto trigger another full season loan next year.

And Morata is headed to Atleti. So there's a pretty good joke for the thread.

Darmian on loan to Juve is being reported. Allegri was hinting that something in the works yesterday, saying that Spinazzola wouldn't go on loan to Bologna until they signed his replacement.

I don't know why they just don't keep Spinazzola :shrug:

Juve should unironically play Mandzukic at CB if there's a shortage. He'd do great.

Or is he hurt too? I can't remember.

Like most Juve players that can defend, he is.

Although I think he started training again this week.
