If we can pick him up for cheap (relative to Rossi), the money saved could be put towards what we were already willing to spend on a LW. With that amount, we could sign a quality LW. Only problem is the availability of such players. Di Maria was bitching about his 2m a season salary at RM...

We could raise 20m from sales.

I am not a fan of Krasic as a 1 of the front 3. He has no shot, and he is weak on his left. His direct style is more suitable on the wings in a 4-4-2 than it is upfront in a 4-3-3, imo.

Net spend is the amount after sales.

He demonstrated numerous times over the past 2 seasons he is not willing to take a pay cut for 1st team football. In Portugal his salary would have been even lower than what teams in England and Spain offered him over the past 2 years. 2.6m are his wages after tax, meaning he would have cost...

Imo, the 70m will be used to cover the +50m loss for 2010/2011, or to cover some/all of the loan options from last season. I'll be extremely surprised if our net spend this summer is 70m.

25m + 4m in bonuses? Depends on what the bonuses are. For example, if that 4m in bonuses is dependent on CL qualification or winning a trophy, than it's not to bad as the windfall from the above scenarios would easily cover 4m. 25m is still overpaying, but if he manages to build on his...

Shame, but the writing was on the wall months ago. He would have been a good partner for Pirlo, providing the steel next to Pirlo's finesse.

If UEFA finds no problems with their recent sponsorship agreement, they will be fine. I don't see how that's possible though.

Why are you including Vidal in both lineups? The majority of Vidal's goals were from PK's. As per the Juventuz bible, verse Rossi, this automatically nullifies every other aspect of his game, and therefore he is overrated.

Since 2006 he has been spewing bullshit, and because a large number of football fans in the UK are ignorant about calcio, they take his word as gospel. If you want to see how biased he is, listen to this podcast,

More than 20 pages, but agreed, this thread is just loaded with thorough, reasonable and impartial comments. Forza Juventuz.

That's because in many instances they only buy a portion of the players contract, making them affordable. The rest is owned by third parties. This practice is prohibited in England as a result of all the trouble the Tevez and Mascherano deals caused when they initially moved to the Prem. This...

I disagree. Having a coach who can give a team an identity, style of play, and do so consistently, is more important, and that is y Napoli performed better than us last season. I believe Conte is the biggest gamble we will take this summer regardless of who we sign, because unless he brings...

Depends how Conte turns out. Napoli are ahead of us because they play like a team and have a system their players know well. On paper their squad is weaker, which should highlight to Juventus fans that nitpicking over good players means shit in the grand scheme of things unless we create a group...

I doubt Marotta is fickle enough to cave in to such pressure when big money is involved.
