I dont know anything about our financial situiation but I know we aint rich.
If you think Giovinco is the answer to our midfield problems then there us no point in having a discussion with you.
What are you rattling on about Real Madrid, Chelsea and Inter Milan, because by my reckoning they have won the la liga twice, serie a 3 times and been champions league runners up in the very recent future so how are they doing badly in the transfer market?
And since non of us here are aware of our financial situation I don't think we can tell whether we are able to buy this player without selling someone like Buffon or not. I think if we paid over 20m for Tiago, we can afford paying more when needed.
I don't think Giovinco is the answer to our midfield, but I know we lack creativity, correct me if i'm wrong. That said another creative player in the middle will pretty much solve our problems since the problem is about creativity according to everyone. This way we will have Del Piero, Giovinco and another creative player in the middle.
I hope you're not serious about Inter winning serie a 3x. I'll pretend I didn't even read it.
What I meant though is that the amount Inter are spending for players, take out what has happened after Calciopoli, they've never achieved anything. And as far as I know Chelsea spent with Mourinho's last year much more than what they've spent in Mourinho's first two years, yet they ended up without a trophy. As for Real Madrid, well can't comment much about La liga, though in CL it proves something else.
Anyway, thats not my topic nor my concern about Chelsea,Inter etc... All what I'm saying is that money is simply not the answer, and we're not one of the richest clubs nor the poorest ones.... and selling Buffon would be the worst scenario our board could make.
