The unique aspect is the player's age, potential, current ability, and marketability.
If James can turn into an elite superstar, which some believe he can, he could be a commercial revenue windfall.
It is different signing Khedira who is 29 to a 4MM contract or Dybala who was still quite unproven for a huge transfer fee & 2.2MM net.
James is 24, is not pacey, but is rather a very celebral/technical player with good technique and shooting ability. This gives him the potential to play well into his 30s, unlike for example Cavani who probably has 2-3 years max left until he declines rapidly.
You buy James for 50-60MM, you amortize that cost over a 5 year contract, but in reality, he could stay for 10, which is good business. They key is wages - Beppe is very smart at structuring deals, so if they can figure something out with bonuses or annual wage step-ups, it could make something feasible.
Another thing is that almost every Colombian loves James - That is almost a 50 million person market that will want to watch Juventus play weekly.
As far as I'm concerned, James completes this team. Also, it gives us two significant left foot threats, which could throw goalies off.

Arsenal fans and their typical complex against Serie A and Juve. The jealousy is hilarious. If Arsenal had even half the skill of Beppe, they'd be Barcelona quality. Juve creates a world class team over 4 years starting with under 200MM EUR in revenue...Arsenal still can't create a world class team. Fact is: Italian managers/ executives are better football minds. English teams just splash out cash without vision other than a few exceptions... All it takes is an Italian manager with a mid-table team to win their league. Easy to win in a league where there are few tactics. Juventus player for player has probably less offensive star power than Manchester City, but we neutralized the team without any issues.
Fact is in football, Italy is just a better football nation. Arsenal for me isn't even relevant - they are the perennial team in the EPL that will finish top 4 in the league, lose in UCL, and never build a team that is globally competitive.
Leicester will be interesting in UCL playing international teams - and unlike the typical EPL team, I wish them all the best.
Funfact: EPL teams I respect...
-Manchester United - Historically has build balanced teams that can defend, unfortunately, the team has been deviating from its successful roots and appearing more like Man City, but with worse ability to sign players.
-Chelsea - Same situation, they get criticized by Farcenal for parking the bus, but it is simply because Arsenal doesn't have the propensity to defend.
- Leicester - Obvious
- Southampton - Great academy, competes despite being raided.
Teams I don't respect
-Arsenal - verbal diarrhea like park the bus, always mediocre, think they are more relevant than they actually are.
-Man City - no vision, just buys without any strategy. Chelsea at least knows how to build a balanced team.

i think he played LM most of the time, followed by AM.
...stats lookg good. good freekicks, set pieces and longshots - but his passing is too bad for my taste.
certainly wouldn't improve our starting 11 and is absolutely no reason to change formation just to fit him in. just like Saponara.
edit: Pass Success 75%

He's a long shot i know and other positions need addressing first like our midfield and we need a RB. But it's nice to be linked with players you want to be in your team. It's not like we don't have the money but as we are spending smart i don't see splashing big money on one player just yet. It's nice to dream tho.
The chances r definitely there and Leverkusen have already put a 40m€ price tag on his head a few months ago. His situation hasnt really changed to the better since and he hasnt been sure starter anymore. Brandt and Bellarabi were on the flanks and a more stable midfield was needed and Kampl was running the show there.
Leverkusen were very unlucky with injuries this season, but their set of mids is great:
L. Bender
Kampl
Kramer
Aranguiz
Calhanoglu
+ some talents so imo pretty impressive.
Bender the leader and true servant of the club, but maybe the club has made promises to him and he is allowed to leave at some point after having refused several lucrative offers over the years e.g. Bayern before they switched to Martinez.
Kampl showed much desire and was great. He is def not on the market.
Kramer had a mediocre season so they ll watch relaxed what happens during the next months and when a good offer around 25m€ arrives, they should be open to listen.
Aranguiz directly tore his ACL and nice to see him back and upcoming season he can show what he is capable of.
Calhanoglu same like Kramer. They prob hope him having a great EC scoring some screamers and getting their 40m€ wish offer.
