After reading that Van Persie actually was prepared to join Juve, if we could afford the transfer fee, I wonder if he agreed to wage cuts or if higher wages are not the problem at all. I would hate to see this kind of money to be wasted on Ibrahimovic and definitely prefer Sanchez though.
Definitely a wage cut, but it could still be considered a substantial wage by club standards. He probably didn't agree to 4m a season, but could've been closer to 7m. The way Juve would structure the wage of a top forward or player if and when they're able to sign him is a base fee like 6-7m with a bonus clause that'd compensate alongside achieving certain targets. Kind of like, if the club get richer, you get richer.
While Ibra has half a decade on Sanchez, he is definitely in a league of his own compared to the latter Enzo. In fact I'd go as far as saying, Sanchez will probable never reach Ibra's level even when he peaks. Their games are very different. Sanchez is unique for his ability to run at defenders and cut in or play on a counter attacking team, but his entire game is based on his speed. He's going to eventually lose that with age, while Ibra doesn't rely on speed at all, but positioning and vision playing off a CF. Also he's built like a tank, so even as a target man he can do it all irrespective of his pace or lack thereof.
baggio my man, fuck camelface.
Broski, I understand people's sentiment when it comes to everything related to calciopoli, but you simply cannot take away how Juve is being plagued by the state of affairs in the serie a. It's always going to be a hindrance when trying to bring in a big name. But there aren't many bigger names than Ibra, and in my eyes, if he takes a pay cut to join us, then he is also sacrificing when he doesn't need to, to come back here. And make no mistake, it's not going to be a cakewalk for him to win over the fans and the club again. But the man has undisputed talent, and while I'm not a fan of him as a human being, I think he's a beast on the pitch and would help the team immensely. I'm selfish enough to accept a mercenary, if my team goes to the next level. Can you imagine how Ibra-Quag will tear teams apart??

it'll be immense.
