Can we not with the ridiculous hyperbole? They have to put a clause on players.

Costa might be good he might not be, I don't even agree with the swap but about 4 months ago everyone thought he was shit. It's not at all comparable to Huijsen.
I remember when we sold Huijsen everyone here was saying that he wasn't that good anyway. Some probably never seen him play and others were probably just coping. Anyone who knew anything substantial about the player knew that he had the potential to be a huge star.

Not saying Costa will be as good but I've no doubt that his value will double in the next year or two.

We have had some quality youngsters at the club who have went on to do good things after leaving. Usually when a club has that kind of success with producing young talents they can demand a bigger fee.

If we are going to be a feeder club we should be making serious profit not giving away our players for peanuts.

This guy is not obviously good like some others. He is very athletic though so who knows
he's got decent technique on the ball. pl clubs will discover him within a year or two, they adore physical players

btw he's not a bad sale because he's so good. he's a bad sale because of the low plusvalenza. if we do human trafficking, let's do it right

It's very simple like Agresti said on youtube; Juve have trouble selling unwanted players because they're coming from a position of need instead of strength; this to improve the books and stay within the uefa parametres we got around our neck. As finances improve (which they are doing year after year) they will be able to demand higher fees.

I honestly don’t even know if he can really defend. He’s great at ball distribution and scoring after corners. But for real and Spain that’s all he has to do.

Would have been a perfect replacement for Bonnuci. He's exactly what we needed. Bremer, Gatti and Kalulu can all do the donkey work they need a calm head (chill guy) to compliment them.
