Where is Aush? Havent seen him for a year i think
We've met him a couple of times in Berlin during the CL final, then on the matchday he wrote on WhatsApp that he managed to get a ticket, i asked for how much and he never responded. Never heard from him again. :shifty:

The fortunate thing is that Bayern's advantage financially isn't that much stronger than Juventus today. Bayern generated 507 million euro in revenue, and 111 million in EBITDA. (July 2015 figures, most recent). Juventus generated 390 million euro, and 110 million in EBITDA. The key is that Bayern's cost structure in general is higher, and furthermore, Juventus has historically spent less on the transfers in recent years, which actually puts Juventus' operating income ahead of Bayern. That being said it isn't completely apples to apples, because Bayern likely grew a bit from the trailing last twelve months from July 2015 to December 2015.

Juventus also does have some debt on the balance sheet, while Bayern has none. Juventus only spends 5.4 million in interest though. Bayern spends 3 million apparently without debt, so it makes me question whether some of the liabilities are indeed debt, but Bayern doesn't disclose.

The key is that functionally, with existing cost structures, Bayern can't "beat" Juventus easily in bidding wars because both teams are generally good with their cheque-books and won't pull Manchester City-esque moves.

As I have said before, with potential sales, and the financial growth of Juventus, we could see a very healthy transfer season. Leverage is low, and EBITDA is at record levels...

Juventus will seek a vice Lichtsteiner and the hottest name seems to be to Vrsaljko. Marotta wants to buy a right fielder because Cuadrado will return to Chelsea.
Juventus also could look for a striker in which case Morata leaves. The substitute of the Spanish will not be Berardi as the player of Sassuolo is not suitable for playing in an attack to 2. For this reason in case of departure of Morata, will seek a player profile different from that of the Calabrian. Then the goal of Juventus is to keep hold of his star players and repel any assaults that there will be for Pogba.

One thing is clear and that will make things much tougher for us, now and for years to come: We are in a new era of spending, fee's have gone up dramatically, signing top-players and top-talents is more expensive than ever and only will become more expensive. The PL is driving the prices up, every middle-class club is inspired by the signing of Martial and clubs like Chelsea offering >50m for talents like Stones from Everton. Bayern paying 35m+45m in potential bonus payments for an 18 year old is another manifestation of that. Valencia got 45m for Otamendi from City, that was before the new PL deal, so why should they sell Gomes for less than 45m-50m?

One reason more why losing Morata for 30m would be a disaster. He is much more worth than that in the new era of spending & replacing him will be a monumental task.

such memories. Pavel 2003 was a monster, every frigging shot from 3/4 was 80% goal, and a screamer while at it.

Marotta: "Montolivo? We’ve never approached him. We've midfielders who give us guarantees."

Juventus are in advanced negotiations to sign Benatia from Bayern on loan with an obligation to buy. [TMW]

Lets just sign Ibra and play a 4-3-3 formation with Dybala Morata and Zlatan or Dybala behind Morata Zlatan! Its not building for the future but the present will definitely be a nice one!
