Any transfer in is a real risk, no matter how good. What we do know is that Trez is no Salas, and he's had years of delivering to back up the fact that he's been an immense acquisition for us.
I think you have to entertain the idea of trading your best players (look what Zidane got us). But that always comes with great risk. I am not so confident with this transfer board at assessing risk right now.
Speaking about risks, our board (unfortunately) is unlike to change in the next couple of years, where DP might retiring/retired, Iaq will be older, Amauri already 30
and then, when the end of Treze's carrier will approach, we will force to make more risks and without that 25 mil boost!
Right now, besides Treze, we have 3 decent starters, in the future we will have one starter and two subs. Objectively, buying a new starter then, will involve more risks!
PS :
My Emo side though will counter argue:
on the other hand, even if DP retires,someone Lanza will grow up, Amauri will be at his best, Treze will still be a decent sub and if Iaq could make place for Treze's successor!
In the meantime, we will have more chances to win titles with such a classy forward line, one of Europes best and we will finally start paying tribute to our living legends, showing the necessary respect!
