Good post, Pedro.
I would only point out that there were an awful lot of people against the 'no-brainer' Pirlo deal.
That's what I actually said Red. Today it looks obvious, but it was not a no-brainer as many tend to think now. Pirlo really seemed to be washed up. He came with big salaries. It was a high risk high reward gamble. It was an absolutely crucial move to Juve's reborn.

5.5+5.5 for Sturaro is over priced ........ i'm speechless. Specially cause we left him on free loan to Genoa for this season.
Pereyra for 15m??!? my gosh...
Morats 20?!?!? i don't care if Real has a recompra options but what's the point of this crap?!? If he is good he goes back to Real for 12m if he is crap we spent 20m.............
All i can see here and for this mercato windows is just the excuse for Conte.
We spent 40,5 + 5,5 for those 3 young players when we could have taken a world class proven player. This is Madness!!!
And if they end up selling Vidal as well........ my god from stars to crap.
Unbelievable!
Sturaro looks overpaid, but not that much actually. It's a fixed 5.5M in 3 years. This makes a lot of difference. He was loaned out for Juve's own interest, they want to develop the guy in Serie A. As co-owns are gone, bonuses are the way to motivate loanee teams to play the players. Part of the bonus will only be paid depending on the performance of the guy for Genoa, another part depending on his performance for Juve.
If he ends a complete bust, we'll probably have paid 5.5M in 3 years for a young guy who will be loaned again to be developed. It's less than 2M/year investment, with a low salary guy. So the financial effort isn't that big in the end. If the guy is worth of Juve, 11M for a 21yr old Italian CM with potential with 2 Series A under his belt is quite understandable nowadays.
Morata was a very high gamble by Marotta, who gambled twice: to bet he will fulfill this 20M potential having played little in high level football; and that he won't want to go back to Madrid. He is definitely overpaid, but I want to wait to see his potential to have my definite say on it. If he has really stellar potential, this could be worthy.
Pereyra's price will actually be around 12M. Sorensen was surplus to requirements and his value to Juve is next to nothing. I agree it's too much, but I also want to wait to see him play to judge it better.
So far we definitely commited to spend 26.5M in this mercato, more or less the same amount we got selling players. 11M for Pereyra is due to next year.

Who cares i'm gutted from all this crap.
Maybe people don't realize that (and i'll repeat it to death) WE SPENT 40 FCKING MILLIONS FOR 3 YOUNGSTERS UNPROVEN $#@!TY PLAYERS! While we could have gotten Sanchez or true world class player for that sum. Fuk sake and there are still people adoring Marotta like some kind of God.
In the PAST 6YEARS JUVENTUS SPENT OVER 300MILLIONS in players. We're behind only to Real and Barca! Not even Bayern spent so much. But it's all good guys. We won 3 championship and everything cool. While other teams with those money played big in Europe (while we sucked so hard in the last few years) and still we're left with Vidal and Pogba being our only talents. And what's more one of them going to be sold this year and the other one the next year.
HAPPY MANAGMENT FROM MAROTTA HUHHU?!?!?!
Well, I'm pretty sure Arsenal paid 40M for Sanchez upfront or in 2 installments at most. We can't do that. We can't cover that offer. Also Pereyra and Morata's salaries together are much less than Sanchez's. Salaries are as important as or even more important than transfer fees.
I really don't think we can blame Marotta for not getting Sanchez. He was just above Juventus possibilities.
