How much would you guys pay for Marchionni if you were owners of
some club ?
Would you even think of buying Marchionni, even if he's offered for 1m eur ? He spent the best 2 years of any midfielder's career injured. Whenever he makes a comeback he returns to the hospital after 1 week max.
Knowing that Marchionni will ask for wages not lower than 1.0-1.5 m euro, i doubt any team is willing to pay money to buy Marchionni.
It's hard to put a number for Marchionni's price.
That's why this deal is actually 13m eur+Nocerino. I won't even count Marchionni because Palermo will only be doing us a favour if they take him from us.
It's another thing if you don't want Amauri, but 20m eur is his market price. Attackers are very expensive. If reports are true then Real offered 25m eur and Milan were willing to offer the same amount until Zamparini clearly said that he'd give his players to any other team but Milan.
13m eur+Nocerino isn't even equal to 20m eur. It's around 18m eur. Hey, if we add Marchionni it's even less than 18m eur because the guy doesn't play at all and only takes your money for his wages.
Market-wise, we're getting Amauri for less than his market price. Yeah, perhaps it's not a fair price, but with the lack of good attackers offered at the market, every good attacker is overrated and so is Amauri.
