Better than spending 200 million euros on two players who are not that much better, only. I'm implying to Real Madrid's 'great' purchases.
Are you trying to say here that Kaka and C. Ronaldo are not much better than Diego and Melo? Is this really what you tried to say?

it is when a club has spent 150 M Euros for 2 players
You're confirming my point with you're own post. Madrid signed two of the best players in the sport but they've spent 150 mil on those players, don't think anyone would call that achievement (they had the money and they've spend it all).

We did the same thing with different players and different amounts of $$. Melo's release clause is €25m and we're paying 20 + marchioni which would equal around 25 mil !!

We did a similar move last season with Poulsen, he's had one year left in he's contract and a realese clause of 10 mil euros and we've paid 9.75 mil to buy the guy from sevilla.

I can't hardly see an improvement in Secco. The only difference between this summer and last is that we have more money now so we can sign better players for the team.....

then WHAT THE FUCK do you WANT? you want to buy class players, but you don't want to spend money for them...well that doesn't happen my friend, especially in the current footballing environment, where there are clubs collecting players like they were baseball cards

Money well spent is a good thing.

:lol: calm down its not like am insulting you're brother or something.

Great signing is when you sign a player that was one of the best players in the euros and was wanted by half of europe for 15-17 mil (arshavin) or when you sign one of the best young french players for 15 mil in nasri. Not just those examples but there are many out there thats what i would call great piece of business.

You're saying that the market is inflated right now then there can always be next season. Look at both United and Milan, they have plenty of $$ from selling their stars but they're not rushing into the market unless a reasonable price emerge for one of their targets or they won't spend.

All what am saying is that there is no achievement here, we had the money and we've spend it to the Max. Anyone in Secco's position could have done it.

Arshavin, Nasri...Arsenal lover? and like that really helped them this season...

Man Utd. and Milan have very significant debt as well, that is also a factor in them being overcautous...also the players they want to sign, they are facing stiff opposition for them

and how do you know if we have spent all our money? NOBODY knows exactly what is the transfer budget fo Juventus this season...that is why everyone is so pleasantly surprised about our link to Melo

Arsenal play in a much harder league than Juve right now with clubs spending like crazy around there so making it to the CL semi's and finnishing 4th is pretty much a decent achievement.

As for the rest of the post, what does all that got to do with what am saying about Secco ?! Just explain to me how is signing Melo for 25 mil euros is an achievement for Secco ?!

Nasri is the epitome of inconsistency; Arshavin is a very good player, I will grant you that.

Diego is one of a few remaining players of a dying breed, a true playmaker, so paying what we paid for him is good value for money; it's not everyday that you can pick up a Zidane for 5 million Euros. Those days are long gone.

Melo's price may be slightly inflated (you can thank Madirid for that), but wait and see what he brings to this team (if he indeed joins); you will be pleasantly surprised.

In today's footballing climate, if you want quality you have to pay for it!
