No arguments here.
Let's pretend we do have the required money & are willing to use it, which I doubt.
Which would be the best deal?:
- spending 30 million € on an older player, knowing full well that in 2 years time his actual value would be (close to) 0.
or
- spending for example 40 or 50 million € (all in) on a younger player, knowing you could use him for a longer period and/or recuperate a big chunk of money when he leaves.
Taking into account that no player (not Forlan, not Pazzini, not Messi, ...) can guarantee us CL qualification.
I agree that we need to take risks & I agree that it better happens fast. But let's not create an even worse situation.
And I really believe that if we do get Forlan now, we will not get another attacker in the summer, at least not a real reinforcement. Which would mean playing a season with DP, Toni, Forlan, maybe one of Iaquinta/Amauri, Quag(?), some young dude.

Thing is, there are no such players on the market, and the only reason why we have a realistic chance of getting FOrlan is because of his age. WE have no chance of getting someone of FOrlans quality but a few years younger, especially not now in January. THats the problem.

Nah, Dzeko was too expensive anyway, unless he was willing to earn about half at Juve compared to what City was offering.
As for them being unavailable, that depends.
Take Pazzini (just as an example, nothing more), he is considered to be unavailable right now. However, if we throw 25 million at Samp, they'd probably deliver him overnight.
Same would go for a lot of players.
And just in case I'm beginning to sound like someone who doesn't care for Forlan: he is a great player. And I obviously don't have anything against him playing for Juve as such. But not if it means spending big.
