What cycle ? As far as i'm concerned this year seems like an end of a cycle to me considering our whole game is built around a 34 year old player and its very hard to find a legit replacement.Then you have the Buffon and Barzagli replacements to think about.It doesnt seem as easy as you think.
Also if you people think these bargain buys are enough to keep us competitive in Europe along with the rest of the bunch ,then you people are mistaken.At some point in time we need to do those 30-40m transfers.Bayern last year bought a 40m player which completed their team and went on to win the CL.When we are going to spend big money ? I'm not so sure of that but in present circumstances it seems very unlikely for the next few years unless we sell Vidal or Pogba to oil teams.
Also the difference between Bayern and ourselves is that they had/have a lot of players who hadnt even peaked yet.And you look at Juve and like half of them are on the wrong side of 27-28 bar a few.Red is quite right in what he says tbh.Now is the right time if we can win CL,but its going to be incredibly hard.
Bullshit, this is what got milan nearly bankrupt.
If you have a very competent manager, then you dont need those 30/40 mil deals, that we cannot afford.
Look at vidal, Pogba, Tevez. Let the big guns have a go at it with their million dollar transfers. Madrid bought Bale. But they wont win the CL
Juventus got players like barzagli and pirlo, when they were on a second win in their careers. But its not like we had 27 year old pirlo or barzagli here.
We are transitionning.
Its quite simple. We have a pathetic near 300 mil turnover. We are in a phase were we try to keep as competitive as we can, without going overboard financially.
By the time the continassa is build, 5 years or so from now, we are having a Pogba nearing his prime. vidal/marchisio in their early 30ties
THEN, we should attempt to be huge. Right now we are just transitionning
Totally agree.
Soon, we will have to invest, or find a solution for Pirlo above everyone else, then Barzaglli and Buffon. Also our wingback problem persist.
Thats a hella lot money right there and im not sure if we will be able to cover all those points and stay competitive.
We have a wingback problem ?
