eh in the end De Ligt, Ronaldo, Higuain, Chiesa, etc. costed a ton of money as well. Probably there are more efficient ways to use resources, but these players bring excitement and top talent to the club.
Rather spend big on one these quality players than sign Can, McKennie, Ramsey, etc. and have to cycle through them every 2 years.
We will find ourselves in need of a new GK soon and end up with a worse player than Donnarumma.

Spending money efficiently ≠ signing bosman turds.
We don't need a GK right now. Tek had been superb until this year (not even an entire season since he's lost his confidence). You said "soon". That's exactly what I mean. We should not focus on what we will need 3 years from now, we need to invest in what we need right now (midfielders).
If the club hadn't been so mismanaged, we probably wouldn't be in this position and I wouldn't oppose getting Donnarumma but that's not the case and I'm not gonna lose sleep because he slipped away.

Realistically, it would be very hard to sell Tek.
So, would you want us to bench Tek with that salary and pay Donnarumma +9M on top?

It's different to "not lose sleep over it" or to not care, than to celebrate or be relieved because we didn't sign a great player. That's what I'm commenting on. The case of not minding it is normal.
Besides, "soon" is not 3 years. We already needed a new GK this year given that Szczesny was worse than 43 years old Buffon. It can be that it was just a bad season and he will recover by September, hopefully, but in his 30s he is not likely to suddenly start to improve and to show things he didn't in his late 20s. I doubt that we haven't seen peak Szczesny by now. He is what he is, and soon the need for a better GK will become more and more urgent.

lol what does this even mean? He’s not a top 5 GK currently, probably not even top 10. He would’ve been an investment on the future but at 12m the risk may not have outweighed the reward, because at the end of the day it’s still a goalkeeper. Never as important as a top mid for example. Rather invest that kinda money there, and I say that as someone who wanted Donnarumma.
Juve can find someone much cheaper to challenge Woj.

depends which Woj shows up. If it’s 2021 Woj Sirigu can beat him out. Either way, it should be an open competition no matter who they bring in. Woj lost his security this season.
