Chelsea agreed transfer fee with Juve over Zambrotta - Channel4 (1 Viewer)

If Zambrotta indeed moves to London this summer obviously I will miss him, however the money we would recieve in return would be enough to buy three great players in defense, midfield, and attack respectively. Zambro has given us a lot over the years and he's certainly established himself as the best left-back in the world, however at Juventus everybody is for sale at the right price. Just imagine with Zambro's sale,we could buy players like Chivu, Pizarro, and Gilardino, just at the expense of our left back who has a ready replacement in Chiellini. That's just what you call good business, even though people would miss Zambro in Turin.
I wouldnt agree entirely. It is right for the club to be run like a business. Over time, thats really been the secret to Juve's successes. The fact remains, that players who have arrived on the world stage with large paychecks, beautiful women and palace like mansions in tow do not have the same hunger as a younger player willing to prove himself on the pitch to carve his own little piece of history. Of course Baggio and Zidane were the best players of their respective eras, but really, if you look back you'll see, not only did Juve profit from their sales financially, but also went on to bag immediate success on the field. If you go down memory lane, youll remember Milan's struggles in 95, 97, 2000, 2001 and 2002 - it was really a case of players having served their time coupled with some poor transfer strategies on the part of the management. There was no hunger, which meant no titles.
Currently, if you take the Zambrotta situation with Chelsea in to focus. As much as i dont want it to happen with valid reasoning to boot, I do not entirely fail to see the good it could bring to the team, even if it takes such a sacrifice. If we go another season without a title, we wouldnt have much choice but to do what it takes to put us back where we belong.

**** me. I just got a zambrotta jersey half a year ago.
I said this will happen. Dont worry. This was obviously predicted, as Cheilini was signed to replace zambrotta in the near future. Given the age gap between the two, if zambrotta was to finish his career with us, chellieni would be late 20s, thus wasting his best years. Dont worry, this is a cool 25 mil euros. Chelini is an adquete back up, and the 25mil will go to other departments.

Chilleni will never truely replace zambo :sob:
Believe me I would never take these 3 over Zambrotta Never. Who's gonna place Zambrotta if he leaves? Chiellini? Okay we all know he's a great player, but no way near Zambrotta, Chivu? are we gonna keep him on the bench, because we already have 2 CD (Cannavaro,Thuram) and I don't see them leaving the Club.
This story is obviously a bunch-a-bologne, but in the realm of IF's, i would not turn down 25 MIL for Zambrotta having secured good replacements. Having money alone obviously is not enough. So three words: Vendere e Vincere.
N.B: to the Milan Fan, I guess Milan really respected Baggio in his stint there.
