I hope they don't get him. They have in their plans to sign one World Class CB at the end of the season I think so I don't know who'd break that defense, especially if they had Kolarov and Maicon on the sides.
But if they do get him, I'd love to see us set our hands on Santon. He could cover both sides, he's young, very good player.

I've seen this transfer being downplayed in this forum, but, with all due respect, whoever does it is out of his fucking mind.
You have a player whose true worth is AT LEAST 15 million eur and Inter got him for free.
An attacker who takes on defenders, dribbles them, shines on big matches, can play as a support striker and a side player in 4-3-3 and makes things happen. True, he's not a great goal scorer (scored 14,19 and 15 goals in the last 3 seasons), but when you already have Eto'o and Milito, adding Pandev in the mixture is everything but "not great".

It's a fantastic piece of business by them.
Nothing's official.
Before he signed he himself said that it's gonna be 3m eur +bonuses (normal bonuses every player gets for goals, assists, trophies etc).
Like I already said in another thread, for Inter that's not too much because 16 (or 17) other Inter players are getting 3m eur or more on wages.
But in Juve if he was being paid 3m a year, he was gonna be among the highest earners (well, when you see that Amauri gets 3.5 and Poulsen gets 3.3m, Pandev's 3m don't look too high).
I can't believe how awful Lotito handled this.
Here's an extract from an interview with Pandev:
All Lotito had to do was to renew Pandev's contract (which was shamelessly low, only 0.45m eur a year). He didn't want to do that and he refused to sell him even for 18 million eur that were offered to him.
In the end he lost him for nothing.

Nope, Pandev himself says that Branca (Inter's Secco, I think) offered 18 million in August, 3 days before the transfer window closed. Other teams also offered 15 million or so, but Lotito kept repeating that he doesn't even want to talk unless ~25 million are offered.
Now, if 15-18 million isn't a decent offer, then you're right.
And even if one can understand Lotito for rejecting the previous offers, I don't get it why did he reject Inter's offer 3 days before the transfer window was closed, and then decided to punish Pandev and not let him play at all.
I read about the 18 mil offer but I can't find the source now. All I can find is this...
