Of course they will be the new ammunition. Although at Man United Pogba is not at his maximum, I think if in Serie A he would be better because of the slower tempo of the league.
While Angel Di Maria, despite being quite old with PSG he is still playing well. I believe his experience is useful for Juventus. With a tempo that I think is similar to Ligue 1 he will quickly adapt there.

Like I haven't heard or seen a possible replacement for de Ligt if he does leaves eventually. Koullibaly I had in mind has agreed deals already with Chelsea.
Cause attacking without good defending is useless, some issues Manchester United had last season and two seasons.
Paul Pogba and Di Maria are great additions, they will propel the Juventus forward. I think they're good to go they are also my first choice to win the asides Jose Mourinho.

Yacine Adli is not a new player for AC Milan, he was bought from Bordeaux last season, but Milan keeping him playing with Bordeaux last season with Loan status. His current status is as a player returning from a loan. If he is not loaned out again, then this will be his first season playing for Rossoneri. Last season he playing 36 matches with Bordeaux, and creating 1 goal, not really good, but i agree, he is young, hopefully he can adapt with Milan strategy.

Of course it will be very detrimental to Juventus if they do not get a commensurate replacement. But if it is true that Juventus want to sell De Ligt, then I believe they may be very close to a potential replacement this season. Or maybe it's just a rumor, but if it's true then it's a big loss. But of course the situation will benefit other teams such as Inter, Milan and Napoli.

Pogba and Di Maria are good players and I believe they can still be relied on by Juventus. But without a strong defense it will be very difficult for Juventus to fight for the title. But I don't expect them to be as good as expected because I may still believe in the potential of Milan who will defend the title.

It's really shocking that Pogba had to snub his former club even when they wanted a contract renewal and chose to go to Juventus on a free transfer. Is this move done out of spite? Because the player has agreed to a four year contract deal to also be paid £7m anually and £130,000 weekly. Quite low for a good player of his station.

maybe the names of the players brought in by Juventus are not foreign to our ears but on the AC Milan side they are recruiting players whose player names may for some people are still quite foreign or rarely heard he is Yacine Adli who was officially signed recently. I have seen Yacine Adli videos spread on youtube, he is a young player who has good talent and I believe Maldini choice in this transfer window is a potential star player in AC Milan next season.

Koulibaly was very impressive in last season with most of time Napoli was on pole position for title but sadly at the end of season they have serious trouble and down and out with AC Milan and Inter both takes top positions now with the selling of this quality player to Chelsea look like they are going to have some serious trouble in next season because Inter, Juventus and Roma strengthening their teams and try to have top rank and Napoli is selling their player without any suitable replacement which is going to have big impact on their performance with tough competition they can go down badly.

With having no quality players and staying silent in this transfer window, most chances they will be faced difficult in next season for staying into top four.

my friend you are right, I agree with you
but it's a question of money
even when Juventus took Cristiano Ronaldo they did it for a (commercial) return of money not for the player himself
Juventus thinks like this, tries to survive at exaggerated costs

They got Pogba and Di Maria without any transfer fee. They took advantage of contract expiration and signed with these players. I think they have to give these players good salary offers to bring them in Turin. No transfer fee, okay but let's pay me good salary especially Pogba.

Chiellini did not have considerable contribution for Juventus last season as he got many troubles with injuries. Moving to MLS will be last choice for Chiellini in very last seasons of his career. He can play in Italy for other clubs but it seems he did not want to play against Juventus.

Bonucci is a leader of Juventus defense now but I am very doubtful that he can do it well because he did failed in AC Milan with a same role. After one failed season in Milan, he returned to Juventus and played there until now. Another rumor is Juventus are going to sell De Ligt that will be big loss for their defense.

Di Maria is not too important with Juventus. Maybe they only signed with Di Maria and plan to use him in some matches or or substitutions. I think Di Maria will not get a solid position in debut squad of every match.

Pogba is more important for Juventus. Now he is 29 years old and his return to Turin is different than the first time he came there when he was very young. Now Pogba will play as a leader of Juventus' midfield and attacking system. He need freedom to play, without pressure, without negative things against him. Juventus agreed to bring him back so I guess they are ready to give Pogba what he wants, at least freedom to play with his free style.

Juventus have already got two new players brought in from Manchester United and Paris saint Germain, Paul Pogba and Angel Di Maria. Now Juventus have to find a new defender left by Giorgio Chiellini and in my opinion, Juventus is less effective with the 3-5-2 formation often used by Massimiliano Allegri. The three defenders used on average are old such as Bonucci and Chiellini, of course, the energy they have is reduced in dealing with opponents who are much younger.

It's been a blast for the Old Lady, haven't lost some of there most iconic players to the transfers this season as to haven't offered there best and lost there youth in the likes of Gianluigi Buffon and Giorgio Chiellini, while Paulo Dybala had to leave on the terms that, he couldn't reach a deal with the management, following the termination of his contract period. He's clueless at the moment and I really thought of him for a hot cake on the market although, its rumored that he's got links with Inter Milan and that's another great destination for him.

Meanwhile, for Angel Di Maria and Paul Pogba to have joined the team is a breath of fresh air. Although Di Maria joined up on a 1year deal which I think it's more of trying him out considering his age but the player is skilled enough and have much experience to be equal to what ever task set for him. Paul Pogba on the other hand have had quite some experience with Juventus and its naturally expected he picks off from where he left off and that's good for the team.

Currently, both free signings going to have very impressive for Juventus because with this there are strong enough and if their systems works in solid way then surely they are going back on top because right now Di Maria and Vlahovic, Morata and Chiesa both combinations very strong Di Maria is experienced campaigner and can give good results.

Paul Pogba is also going to be good as he was not good enough in Premier League and Manchester United but surely can adopt this club and league which is going to have some good impact on his future. Few talking about age factor but still these both can play good as they are fit and having good speed which his helped by strong body of these quality players.

After all, even so but I also don't focus too much on Di Maria and Pogba, because there are other good players who are still young like Dusan Vlahovic and also Federico Chiesa. So, I judge more on the overall aspect for Juventus and I personally really look forward to Juventus' performance next season, at least I'm pretty sure Juventus will be a candidate to win the Serie A title next season. Although indeed, I personally can't have my hopes too high about Juventus in the Champions League, because the competition in the Champions League is very difficult and the EPL teams are indeed stronger.

Until right now Juventus just got deal with Angel di Maria as and Paul Pogba as free transfer from PSG and Manchester United. Depending with several player have left Juventus I think need active in window transfer at several position needed like defender. Not enough with De Ligt and Bonucci on central defender because Juventus still need back up player can replace position on defender if some time De Ligt or Bonucci get injury. Not have new defender target by Juventus until and still watching who will be new defender for next season.

There is not much time left for transfers, and all Juventus could do was get Pogba and Di Maria, everything else is just rumors. And the team has a very high probability to start the season even in worse squard, than it ended in the last. They say that will strengthen the defense if they sell de Ligt, and if they don't sell then what? A slightly strange position, I understand that Juventus apparently has no money for transfers, but then need to understand that the team will not achieve great results.

He can't play well with players who are no longer there. Juventus had a €35 million buy option on Alvaro Morata but the clause wasn't activated. Therefore, his Juventus loan contract has expired and he has returned to Atletico Madrid. I assume he will be sold during the summer. Juventus was interested in keeping him but considered the amount as too big. They tried to talk to Atleti to decrease the price but they weren't willing to negotiate any discounts.

You are right, Juventus still seems to have weaknesses in their defense. I think midfielders and forwards are enough to prepare for the season that is about to start. but Juve's defense seems to need strong players still.
at least now there is still time for Juventus to find defenders to fill their gaps. The latest news I read is that Juve has agreed to bring in Genoa full-back Cambiaso. this is a new step to strengthen Juventus' defense which is still lacking.

With such a formation can be applied if the opponent does not have strength in the wing sector. And it's true that with such a formation, you must have flank players who are fast and also have good defensive and attacking qualities. It's a bit difficult to find a player like that.
Juventus now have a job they need to finish quickly in the defense sector, because if you look at that position now it looks like it lacks.

Very good move from Juventus by successfully signing Di Maria and Pogba, these two players are experienced players and this is what Juventus need.
Because Juventus lacked a midfield that could build attacks effectively and creatively, but the lack of Juventus can be overcome by the joining of Pogba
and Di Maria. I'm sure Juventus performance will be better next season, but to win the Serie A trophy I still doubt Juventus can do it.

Because Juventus still have to strengthen their back line, until now Juventus still haven't found a replacement for Giorgio Chiellini. Especially if it is true
that Matthijs de Light moved in the transfer market this summer, of course Juventus must bring in at least 2 new defenders. Actually there are
several names associated with Juventus, one of which is Gleison Bremer who currently plays at Torino, Torino reportedly asked for a fee of
35 million euros for a team that intends to buy Bremer. We will see if Juventus will make a move soon by making the first offer to be able to get Bremer,
but Juventus have to compete with Inter who are also rumored to be interested in buying Bremer.

Napoli are very close to selling Koulibaly right now. I wonder who they think of bringing into his place in the team. He is a very experienced defender so they might want to search for a defender like him again. I believe they need a left winger also. They have two young players for that position actually but they would make use of an experienced and more reliable one in the lineup. Napoli need to strengthen the squad more in short to be able to win the Serie A title in the near future.
