Disagree entirely about Tevez vs Mandzu.
But in a way you won't expect.
Wait for it...
Okay...
Neither was a star signing. They have very similar pedigrees coming to Juventus. Players who had been at the very top, though Tevez much further removed. The obvious point with both is we would never have gotten them for basically 10 mil and 20 mil if they were still star attackers.
Kudos to us for seeing something others did not and realizing they could regain top form. Tevez looked like a top 5 attacker in his second season here...
And I actually expect us to see a Mandzu much closer to Bayern Mandzu who was definitely a star attacker, leading the front line of the treble winning side. We shall see though. We just need him to be a fucking menace on the pitch and bang in 18+ goals in all competitions.

They complain about this, but Arsenal is also known as being stingy, despite having more money.
The difference is despite Beppe's stinginess that occasionally frustrates us all and allows him to miss key opportunities, the overall result is that the team he has built is miles better than the current Arsenal squad, with our top 4 or 5 players worth more than the entire Arsenal squad in actual bids (Pogba - 120, Dybala - 80, Bonucci - ~60), with a fraction of the capital invested by Arsenal.
Beppe is the king of Return on Invested Capital.

Juve: 'Arsenal won't sell Alexis'
By Football Italia staff
“Arsenal told us Alexis Sanchez is not on the market,” reveals Juventus director Beppe Marotta, even after being quoted a €40m price-tag.
The rumours linking Juve with a swoop for Sanchez have been around for several week, ever since Real Madrid activated their buy-back clause on Alvaro Morata.
“Sanchez is a great player, but Arsenal told us he is not on the market,” Juventus chief Marotta told El Mercurio newspaper in Chile.
“We had asked for the player’s price-tag and Arsenal valued him at €40m, a sum that we considered reasonable.
“However, once we replied to their demand, the English club let us know that he was not for sale.”
Sanchez is only under contract with the Gunners until June 2018.
The €40m price-tag currently translates to £34m, but it’s possible the figure was quoted before the Brexit vote – when the value of the pound plummeted.
