But I think that would then result in it being treated as wages from a tax point of view and negate the point of the alleged exercise.

Yeah, seems pretty unlikely. Juve want to pay transfers in as many installments as possible, but would suddenly drive a truck full of money up to Cavani's front door. - - - Updated - - - :boh: Would depend on the details of the deal, I'd imagine.

Ta. Thought the suggestion was that paying Cavani a lump sum - rather than paying him in normal wages or bonuses - would result in a reduction in what Juve had to pay in tax.

Nel caso specifico di Cavani, la Juventus ha promesso all'ex Napoli di garantirgli lo stesso stipendio percepito al PSG, pari a 7,5 milioni di euro a stagione, che con i bonus arrivano a superare quota nove. L'attuale tetto ingaggi della Juventus è di cinque milioni (Tevez è il più pagato con...

The key was that Milan, while allowing the fullbacks to attack a lot, tended to keep plenty of other players behind the ball. That meant that the fullbacks didn't have to race back to get into position after they ball was lost, so they could conserve energy.

Not really. Given how high up the pitch fullbacks tend to get now when a team has possession, they are frequently pretty irrelevant when it comes to defending counter-attacks. The pace of centre-halves and the deep midfielder(s) is far more significant with regards to counter-attacks. Where...

Are there any of the high-profile refs who could have been appointed that wouldn't have been presumed to favour Barca?

Exactly. Think the actually set-up was slightly more 4-3-3(4-5-1), with Boateng and El Shaarawy playing wide enough to mark the full backs. Pazzini dropped back to mark Busquets. The rest of the team just stayed deep and really compact

:D

Yup. Highlights how stupid people were to declare it earlier in the season.

:touched:

If you want to press the centre-backs properly, you need to bring the defence up quite high. If you don't, the space in midfield will be too big and it will easy for Barca to play around/through/over the press. That's not an argument for or against pressing Barca - just that if you want to do...
