Benitez yo. He is going to be very important for Napoli this season. You shall see. Why didn't we go after Thauvin? 
22 year old who can play as an AM or a winger. Newcastle got him for something like 20 million Euros. @Mark

I guess English players are better in the EPL as well, because they understand what it takes to get a result on a cold night in Stoke, Bournemouth, or Leicester
No one is saying Padoin is better than Draxler, but that if you have an Italian Draxler and a German Draxler you sign the former because he doesn't have an adaptation period or as large a potential to fail, outside of the usual problems when moving to a club as big and demanding as Juventus.
He is still young tho
I can agree with that, but do we have an Italian Draxler?

We should go for a couple of young and talented flops next season. I am sure we can resurrect their careers 
Agree, never liked Hamsik.
You know what, people talk about how exaggerated the prices are in England.
Personally I see Italian football actually worst with these prices. Leaving aside the difference in income of clubs from these two leagues (therefor the purchasing power of clubs in both leagues and higher prices in England) but serie A clubs are demanding extremely huge prices for their players even if they don't deserve it "yet" IMO.
40 mil for dybala, Andrea Bertolacci for 20 mil, Romagnoli for 25 mil... We're talking about paying pretty huge serious money for "potentials". Keep in mind that Italian clubs just came back from a serious Debt crisis between 2000 and 2010 period where some of them went bankrupted (plus all the mess back then). Something that the English clubs never went through.

Guilherme Siqueira has placed the blame squarely at the feet of Juventus for the breakdown of his proposed transfer from Atletico Madrid this summer.
The left-back appeared to be closing in on a move to the Italian champions, only for them to pull out of negotiations at the last moment and switch their attentions to Alex Sandro, but the player insists he is more than happy to stay at the Vicente Calderon.
“It's been so many years [that I've experienced the transfer market]. I've received offers in the past and sometimes accepted them, so I'm used to it,” he told reporters.
“I was fortunate enough to have received some significant offers, but I always kept quiet. I knew Atleti's doors were always open and that if I left then it would've been best for me and the club. The club never pressured me into anything.
“It wouldn't have been easy to leave Atleti. I've got used to how the team play. The final stretch of last season is my reference, it's when I played the most and I think I did well.
“It always takes a while to adapt to a new team, 'and there's the example of [Antoine] Griezmann from last season too.
“I'm motivated and confident. I'm competing with Filipe [Luis], who I can learn a lot from.
“[Diego Simeone and I] always talk on the phone and again we have the joy of having him in the dressing room. The Coach knows he can count on me for whatever reason.
“Juventus sent me my most formal offer in the summer. I don't know what happened. [The deal didn't break down because of] Atleti or Siqueira, but Juventus.
“We did what we had to do, but Juventus chose another player [Alex Sandro]. I know clubs always target two or three players at a time.
“[On links with Real Madrid in the past], it was very similar. I think I'll write a book in a few years!
“It was a different market two years ago, but whenever I tell a club that I won't leave, it's because I feel it's best for me and the club.
“If a move only benefits me then I won't force the club to sell me.”

Benitez, srsly, it was all Benitez. How he tactically limited Hamsik's strenghts was ridicolous, Hamsik publically jumped for joy when he left and stated how difficult it was working under him.
Hamsik's last season was one of the weakest in years, and he still had 7 goals and 10 assists in the league (13 goals in overall). It took being coached by Benitez in first season in charge, for him to start scoring under 10 goals for the first time in 8 total seasons for Napoli (he has for years been one of the most consistent assisters in Europe).
