The Old Lady Speaks, Episode 242: What to make of the Soulé, Huijsen deals

The Old Lady Speaks: A Juventus Podcast

Juventus have agreed to deals to see two of their brightest prospects head out this summer, with the hope of generating some funds to finish other deals this summer. Just how that all works out remains to be seen.

On Episode 242 of The Old Lady Speaks Podcast, we discuss:

• Matias Soulé and Dean Huijsen are all set to leave Juventus. Did Juve get as much as they should have with a pair of sales that aren’t exactly popular amongst the fan base?
• Both Soulé and Huijsen came through Juve’s Next Gen program that has seen just as many — if not more — big prospects sold on for big profits rather than establish themselves with the senior team. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?
• Juventus played their first friendly under Thiago Motta last Friday in Germany. The final score was not pretty, but did the team show at least a few signs of Motta Ball despite being extremely shorthanded against Nürnberg?
• Twitter questions — including how long will it realistically take for Thiago Motta to implement his style of play, if there’s any chance of Federico Chiesa staying now that Matias Soulé is about to be sold, and who could be a potential addition to back up Dusan Vlahovic?
