I won't believe it till it happens.
Too much bullshit in this window to take anything seriously.

I refuse to be underwhelmed until shirt pics.
Long thread but some insight.
Hopefully he'll mean the end of Winks. I don't see Skipp or PEH dropping out for him.
Skipp should be one of the first names on the team sheet, but let's hope that he turns out to be significantly better than PEH. A pretty underwhelming signing otherwise.
Should be Skipp and Bentancur in midfield, Son + Kane + Kulusevski upfront.
So basically we're spending 25mil on an average player who doesn't create. And we're gonna give him a 4 or 5 year contract. Somebody we had never shown interest in til Villa did. Okay. Sounds like great business.
Honestly 25m is not that much. And since we aren’t signing any better, we may aswell see what happens, maybe we’ll luck out and he’ll turn out fine.
What’s his profile? He’s box to box? Ball winning midfielder? If I am not mistaken, he was quite rated when he joined Juventus.
“Reminds me of Winks once again”
To be fair, I thought Winks has improved under Conte, but the point, of course, is to keep improving on what you have. I’ve not seen Bentancur play to know what kind of player he is but as long as Conte wants him, then I hope we‘re able to get him.
Every single one of my many Italian friends, most of whom are Juve fans, have told me he's one of the worst CM they can remember Juve playing.
He's slow, can't pass, can't score. He gives so many balls away they've lost count seasons ago already.
All said he's a terrible signing and they never expected a club like Spurs to sign him. Palace, Villa, even Newcastle...okay. But not Spurs. Now they're buzzing and saying Fabio is a hero.
And they hate Kulusevski too.
Honestly I’m not surprised. Paratici is a fraud and we’ll suffer a lot after the transfers he’ll have made in the next few years.
hes a parasite and needs to fuck off
We're absolutely fucked if that is what happens. He's been brought here specifically to improve recruitment not make it worse.
Thoroughly underwhelmed.
Now, the Levy way for this all to go is for us to pile extra money into the Kulusevski deal in order to stiff Boca Juniors for their sell-on clause for this one, then for Levy and Aulas to start getting horny with each other again on the Ndombele loan, that blows up at the last second, and we're stuck with the inflated Kulusevski price, Ndombele, and no Betancur.
Sent this to my mate who is a big juve fan and he said it was a bizarre opinion. He said he had a very good year under Sarri but for whatever reason has stalled since.
