another mini-meltdown? ^^
"JUST pay 7mio for a 19y old i´ve never seen play and who has only 1y left on his contract... can´t get outbid by roma who are about to lose their best player to a sheik club"
don´t get me wrong, i´ve heard only good things about him and he would probably be a nice addition but some statements in this thread/forum are downright ridiculous.
and tbh: if i was him i wouldn´t go to juve. right now it looks like we are going to change to a back 4 and buy evra so that means pirlo, vidal, pogba, marchisio and asamoah (+rabiot) for 3 midfield spots... good luck.

obviously there are transfers that worked out very well but for every "highly rated talent" that made it there are 10 who didn´t.
it´s always about the risk/reward-ratio and i bet that most of the users complaining here haven´t seen him enough to judge what his true value is.
yet some are already replacing pirlo with him...

That was still alot, and pescara were dragging out that deal, cause Napoli was there aswel, and pressed harder then us. The media wont say that, but his manager reminds everytime that Napoli had a better offer then we had.
Then comes PSG and money is irrelevant. If we or Napoli had offered 50mil for Verratti, they'd offer 55mil

that´s impossible. one of the most recognized managers of all time passed up on pogba. you just can´t get them all and if you try to you will go broke.
having said that, i obviously hope that we do as well as possible ^^. and yes, there are no two ways about it: had we gotten verratti, he would have turned out great.
well that´s a bit exaggerated but basically i agree.
imo the more important thing is that hindsight doesn´t really help. of course i´m regretting not getting verratti back then but i can see why we decided to do so.
it´s just too easy to call out mistakes after seeing how the situation turned out, while ignoring own misjudgements.
for example, i bet like 80% of the forum thought tottenham had a great mercato last season... well no, they didn´t
and the same goes for talents. pretty much every day i read somewhere "look at club x. they bought player y for 5m from fc unknown argentina and now he is worth 30m. that´s how it should be done".
but nobody ever mentions that every year tons of "talented players" get bought from all over the world for sums of around 5m and most of them fail miserably...
nobody cares though, because only the successful ones stay in the spotlight.
marrone to replace pirlo
. maybe hustini had that plan several years ago but i´m 100% sure that nobody at juventus is even remotely thinking about that possibility .
again: i´m not against the rabiot signing. i don´t know him well enough to judge his value. all i´m saying is that
- people who don´t know him (well) should stop treating him as a must transfer because of a youtube video.
- people should stop making something personal out of every transfer. if roma think he is worth 5m and we don´t then this doesn´t mean that we are a shit club or a poor club.
- having said that: we are a (relatively) poor club so we should we careful with statements like "5m? why not" or the classic "JUST PAY..."
