I don't see it at all comparable. To me Robben was the driving force of Madrid's title challenge that fell apart in the final rounds of the season. to sell Robben and buy Benzema was major mistake. same as selling Sneijder and keeping VanDerVaart didn't justify their performances for Madrid...
exactly, there is no cleverness possible here by buying an EPL reject, Juve is past that stage. Now Juve will only be judged on how far Juve goes in CL, not for how much Juve buys their players or value for money.
