I'd like to be as optimistic as you about Juventus, we'll see. Right now there is a huge problem with Vlahovic that is stalling everything, Douglas Luiz is another big problem, and also Kelly, which is totally useless.

The worst of those three is Kelly. At least he plays consistently even if not at a level needed for Juventus. Douglas Luis is unprofessional, and I don't think he even wants to be at Juventus. He wasn't bad yesterday in Juve's traditional friendly against their U23 team. Douglas had a goal and an assist. Vlahovic on the other hand looks really bad. He did score a goal after getting a good pass from Douglas Luis that put him one-on-one against the keeper. Other than that, he looked really weak. He couldn't outperform even the young U23 defenders who had no problems closing him out. He received boos from the crowd throughout the first half. Even after he scored, half the stadium cheered him on, the other half booed him. It's sad that it came to this. He had great potential but something is not right with his head. I doubt that Juventus will be able to sell him. No sane club will want to match his €12 million a year salary and he isn't willing to accept less.

If it was for me, Vlahovic would spend the whole season on the bench, and he would play for the last 30", that's it. This is the year that leads to the World Cup, he refused to renew the contract, his performances are atrocious and yet he believes he deserves 12 millions per year. Juventus bought him for a lot of money, believed in him, help him, and this is what the team gets in exchange. Keeping him on the bench for the whole season would send a very strong message to everybody.

Juventus was also wrong to buy him for that crazy sum. He had only just done half a championship at a good level and was bought for a disproportionate sum.
They would have waited and seen a different player who would not have been worth all those millions.
Him then thinking he's the best striker is a joke! 😁
12 million a year he can go and play in Arabia, but it seems even there they're not taking any notice of him
