Marcelo Salas ... Didn't we pay £18 milion (€25 million) for him? I mean, that's insane considering what he did for the club!
as I remember it, it was 13 million dollars plus Kovacevic.
the deal was a big failure, but we couldn't know that when we signed him. he used to be great in Lazio and he should have been great in Juve too, if he didn't get injured
Kovacevic's succes with Sociedad makes us jelous and regret now that we sold him, but I think it was unavoidable because he wanted to play more!
wow I didn't know we payed so much for Zenoni
but he did contribute and he was a great prospect when he played for Atalanta. the proof is that Milan wanted him too.
so we had some bad deals and wastes of money (Baiocco, Athirson, Moretti, Salas, Zenoni..), but overall I think we'r spending money wisely.
sometimes we even get a lot from players that we almost didn't pay for (Camoranesi, Trezeguet, Del Piero, Zambrotta...)
