One signing who is being tipped for greatness is new Juventus striker Paulo Dybala. That's the opinion of disgraced former Juve director Luciano Moggi, who claims that the former Palermo forward could be an ideal replacement for Carlos Tevez.
He told Tuttomercatoweb: "They could miss Tevez's goals as [Mario] Mandzukic scores less, but I think Dybala is a great signing. I think that he could score more goals (than) many other forwards."
