Could Ronaldinho be the big sign that Moggi is talkin about? (10 Viewers)
- Thread starter Sparty
- Start date
I'm only going to say that I don't understand why Barcelona would want Ronaldinho, Deco, Rosicky, AND Luis Garcia in their squad, that's overkill. Then there's talks about Nedved retiring and didn't Moggi say he was interested in a Brazilian? It could be Emerson, but I wouldn't put it past him to use Emo as a smokescreen for Ronaldinho or Diego. I doubt it'll happen, but with Moggi in charge nothing's certain.
There are few fallacies on
Debt itself is not a cause for concern -
its the ability to repay the debt, which means having enough assets and future revenues to offset liabilities.
Juve is in good financial state - increase in revenues from new stadium will increase our competitiveness in the transfer market in the future. And we already are one of the highest earning team in the world.

John, I totally agree with you and I was merely trying to correct some misconception on the issue of debt.
.
People have natural distaste for debt, and believe that we are in trouble because of our "debt" regardless of our ability to re-pay or where
it has been used. I havent seen detailed account of Juve's financial statement (who would?) but my guess is that the increase in liabilities are mainly due to 1) building new stadium and 2) past transactions.
If the first point is true then we should be compensated by the increase in the revenues in the future, hence far from being bad, debt will increase our competitiveness in the long run. If the second is true, then our profits in the past years have been over-stated, rather than reflecting a bad year for our management team.
Anyway, John you are completely right, financing Ronaldinho would be extremely hard, given that we are commited to spending considerable amount of money on stadium redevelopment and that we havent got an asset (another words for expensive players) to raise finance.
Unless some third party like Nike comes into the play, there is no way we can afford that much amount of money. Then again why would Nike do such transaction when they already sponsor Barca?
Beside, I think we should "concentrate" on players who will adress our most pressing needs. CBs, RB, midfield anchorman (quality one at that), attacking midfielders, and a quality striker are more immediate need, IMO.
If we get a flair midfielder, I would settle for Rosicky, Aimar, VDV, or Diego - Not a bad list I would say.
