Endless Summer Mercato 2016 (179 Viewers)

[LiquidPLP]

So for the last 12 month period, we generated approx. 112.3M in EBITDA (earnings before interest, D&A, taxes, etc). That is up from 85 million last year, or 32%. Our Net Debt to EBITDA ratio was 2.26x, it is now 1.79x. That gives us almost 50M in borrowing potential to keep a flat ratio. There is some capacity to increase debt. You just want to keep it manageable, and frankly 2.26x is a fairly low ratio. Some companies are as high as 8x, but these are much more risky companies.

On a Free Cash Flow basis (Operating Profit less investment), we're generating ~103.5 EUR million in Operating profit after interest. In the next year, there will be ~33.8 million that will need to be collected from teams, while we'll need to pay out 72 million. The personal cost as a % of revenue has dropped 3%, and now is lower than 50% (~49%), which is Real Madrid's model.

At this point, a basic cash number has us generating ~65 million in cash. An expenditure for a player is usually spread over a period, so with 65 million in cash and ~50 million in extra debt capacity, there is certainly enough funds to make a large purchase and many support purchases. Juventus generated ~396 million in revenues from December 2015, which is almost 2x the amount that we generated in 2011/2012 (204 million)

Financially, the team isn't not competitive. We have the balance sheet capacity, and earnings power to make a real splash in the transfer market.

I figured instead of making declarations, it would be more convincing if I backed it up.

In fact, the team only generates ~80 million less than Bayern, and we're not paying Pep (~20 million pounds)

Yeah I'm aware of the ability but I'm not sure there's the will from us and more importantly from RM. They could sell for 50m but the market is about to get crazy this Summer and then they could fetch more from him, which is desirable and very possible.

I'm pretty sure James will ask to be sold. Isco is happy with rotational role but I can't see James being happy with it. Competition will be there though, be it MU, PSG or someone else. That drives up the price even more.

If we can sign Morata permanently,that alone would be like a galactico signing for me

 

[Seven]

nice bait

you know how wrong you are

You actually like that guy?

 

[Hist]

In 2012 Conte declared Vucinic as the most talented player in our squad. Fast forward to 2016 and just wow, we've gotten so much better.

Regarding the rwb position and alternative to Lichsteiner, what y'all make of Antonio Valencia as a cheap option if we don't get our targets? I quite like him as a wing back due to his physicality and discipline. His future in United seems a bit unclear as well.

Would love him here. But he cant play as a fb.

Of course, he's easily one of the most likeable players of the past 20 years. Favourite player to never have played for Juve.

 

[LiquidPLP]

Don't know if true but I read Beppe said he'll try to sign Morata from Real and not only him from them.

The more I think of it, the more it's obvious to me that name could be Kovacic.

Eclectic=young=opportunity=Kovacic. The kid can play anywhere in midfield if needed whether it's 4312 or 352.

And he's ex Inter player
You know he'll be great here.

What does everyone think about opening a separate thread called "Build/Predict Your Juve" where we can post all the transfers, squad, starting lineup we want to see or make predictions as to what they'll be.

That way, this thread will be just about discussing rumors. And we can rakib in the other one.

That will slow the traffic in here a bit, and we'll have two separate threads for what really are two separate topics.

Still just 21yo, gettable at ~25m (30m at worst I guess) and knows Serie A

 

[pavluska]

Kovacic is very overrated.

Who are realistic targets if Gomes is out of reach?
