I think we offered Aguero something like 7mil, he was on 6mil salary in ATM, no way we expected him to take a paycut to join us

i will give you that we cant throw money at the player if oily doily clubs come in. that's fine and dandy
if you cant sign high profile proven names, go for risky youth names. i am not talking about unknown talent from serie c or b. but supposed talents on watchlists. the pogbas and verattis and more expensive lamelas.
better than signing diamanti or poli or matri

Amauri and Melo, maybe not...but Diego. You should read the transfer threads on this forum before his arrival. You would have thought we were actually signing Diego Maradona from the 80s.
Come to think of it, we were all extremely excited for Amauri's purchase as well. Many were calling him a "Ibra successor"
lol.
So yeah, our record with our last three big money purchases is extremely horrible. I can see why the club is very cautious when considering to spend such a large amount of money (for us) on one player. I'm not saying Higuain or Tevez are at the same (crap) level as the aforementioned players, but it's clear there is a mandate in place not to spend over a certain amount on transfers for players - wages too. It's just the way it is for now until we improve the clubs revenue. Patience.
End of the day, I much prefer the way things are going at the club now with Agnelli/Conte/Marotta/Paratici in charge instead of Cobolli Gigli/Secco/Blanc/Ferrara etc.

And his head was up Amauri's ass.
This moron set the club back about 5 years. Thankfully we are now out of the horrible mess he helped create.

He's been signing a lot of youth players - in conjunction with Paratici - and clearly has spent plenty of money on improving our youth sector (compared to previous management teams) - whether or not these players will eventually graduate from the Primavera to the first team remains to be seen, but one thing Marotta can definitely not be criticised about is his work in signing younger, up and coming prospects. I believe this will be the long-term aim of the club, to produce young, talented players and have them eventually come up through the ranks to the first team. Ajax, Barca and Bayern style.

Would be lovely to acquire one or two of those, but they don't exactly grow on trees. Lamela, Pogba and Verratti are all players with exceptional talent and ability.
Marotta and Paratici spotted and targeted two of those, which is very positive. Pogba and Verratti. Too bad PSG got involved for Verratti, as we almost had him. And Pescara really fucked us.

Pescara found themselves in a very favourable position, wanting to make the most of it in pure financial terms, regardless of whether they would harm their relationship with Juve. They used our interest to milk more money out of PSG, a tactic that proved successful in the end.
The player became priced out of our reach, as we had other important deals to conclude.
You're right, though, they owed us nothing. It's just how things panned out, and no one is to "blame" for Verratti not being a Juve player right now. Not Pescara, nor Marotta.
