Juve have a problem at LB/LWB and have had that issue for several years - that is a legitimate point.
Then you go and come out with some utter $#@!e about Gabbiadini - a player Juve committed about 3.5m to as an investement for the future.
There are different articles about his price, kind of confusing, most say that he is valued at 11mil though,
(a price first mentioned by others, not me, in his thread amongst other and seems to be aproved by several sources of the posters there) we payed 5,5 but because we took 2 for another player, only had to flush out 3,5 now for 50% of his contract.
The point is though, that with 3,5 mil, we could not buy that player and it is misleading to say that we did for that ammount!
As we have seen in the past with Marotta's co own fiaskos, we end up paying more than the estimated price in the end.
And we always pay the other half, even if we have double thoughts about it (like in Matri, Pepe and Motta deals) so it is assumed that the deal was already made and this what the clubs do, to ease them selves with the installments.
IMO, the price is fixed and the ammount is commited.
This is not a transfer to fool around, we believe in him and we have commited the ammount now, before he becomes more expensive.
I dont believe that starting next year, we will cut the other 5,5 mil from next year's budget, as this didnt happen in the past either. And noone here either will.
So to simplify this, i calculate the commited sums of the total value of the player, for the season we sign him.
Same for our sales, as we will know that the installments will come next years.
This is my standard evaluation for all transfer matters, be my guest to promote a simplier way to calculate those complicated transfers, that expands in many years and may include many players...
And as for the players included in the deal. IMO, they should be considered a different transfer.
For ex, those 2 mil we got, would have come as an income anyway and would help to make Cavani's acquisition easier, for ex.
It doesnt have to be tied to the calculations of the commited sum of this transfers. It is dangerous and misleading, esp for the added reason, that when we sell a guy to buy another, it ussually is a favor and we are actually selling off that guy, for a price lesser of his true value, which means that we are actually loosing money twice instead of makng...
Regardless of the final price of Gabiadini, do you disagree that we could have found a player of Pereiras caliber, if we were looking for it in the global market, ready to commit that ammount, regardless of the installment method?
That was the essence of my meaning. I sincerely believe that we could afford that ammount.
I have no intention to hurt anyone's feeling here for believing that and i apologise in advance for anyone how finds it insulting, for me to believe that we can afford 10 mil for a starter.
I cannot even think of a reason anyone would, but some do...
