DEEP BREATH

It isn't hypocritical because they are two completely different things. Being hypocritical would be like against signing Luca Toni because he is old and washed up but be for signing Inzaghi. That would be hypocritical.

This case, however is just a difference of opinion on how this team should build for the future. And you talk about nincompoopery ...

no the arguement has fuck all to do with how we should buold for the future it is to do with how people on here will go apeshit at us throwing money away on an older player but be more than happy to throw money away on a young player because "he has potential" when we have a long history of completely wasting youth

So we have old, washed-up Pirlo who's not showing 30% of his capacity over the past two years and Piazon who's a big potential and people would take Pirlo because he has experience. That's the bottom line.

hey now you are putting words in my mouth,i have never,not once,claimed to be happy with signing Pirlo

He is running out of replys I think in all honesty which is why he threw Giovinco into the mix. Nothing like putting words in the mouths of someone you are debating...

no,go and have a look,he claimed "Pato was a proven champion after 9 matches when Milan got him for 22mln euro" and i countered by claiming that Giovinco was world-class after a few games to show just how young players get overhyped on these boards

You didn't Boz, but other members did mention that so I'm pointing out.

Makes the Pirlo case shit and people stubborn. Everyone is excited with "ooooh, free Pirlo". Free Pirlo my ass, fuck that. He'd take many millions from our bank.

But all of the sudden after that Pizon's price was high.

They way you say it mocks people though. There really is no need for it, he and I are just stating what we think. I think its idiocy to sign Pirlo and anyone that age for that cost we would incur. It makes more sense to me to start invest in SOME youth players...you guys seem to think I want to employ a team full of youngsters. We hvae players edging towards if not in their prime and its the perfect time to get some young exciting talents into the mix.

Again, what is the point of scouting and a scouting network if we never take advantage of the 1 Pato we find out of 100 Robinhos? Sooner or later we need to make the right gamble and gambling on a 30+ year old Pirlo is insane.

i got my knickers in a twist when you said he would have been 18-19 and would have fitted into our team yet our whole policy has clearly been to farm players out until their early 20's to "gain experience"

i am greatly in favour of giving younger players the chjance,but giving a (currently) 17 year old player 1m is lunacy

Everything was fine until somebody mentioned freakin' taxes.

And looking at the past experience of ours, would he be expensive considering Martinez's purchase? Is 10mln overall too much if limited Pepe would be over 12? If Bonucci from Bari was 15mln without wages?

Based on what are we discussing his price that is apparently too high? He has no experience and he's too young? There are many examples that show otherwise and Pato was one. So how on the Earth are our transfers tolerated but not getting a good potential for 6mln is too much? How can mediocre player come here with higher value and higher wages if we're so "careful"? Counting Matri and his wages, that transfer would cost us more than 25mln euros, is he worth it? Of course not.

i am trying to point out the complete idiocy of handing 1 million to a teenager when we currently don't bother giving players in our early 20's a chance

both prices are high,i just refuse to blast our board for not throwing 1m a year and 6m in contract on a "chance"

Who exactly is excited by the possible Pirlo signing? Must have missed those posts...

 

[JuveJay]

They say he's too young and I just mention Pato's case. They say Piazon is inexperienced and I say Pato had only 9 matches. They say Piazon is too expensive and requires too big wages while I mention how Pato's price was 16mln higher and how his wages are triple of sum mentioned we'd 'give' for Piazon. It just makes no sense.

That's because you fail to see, deliberately or not, the difference between Pato and Piazon at the same time.

TBH there so much crap being posted in here, so many totally irrelevant and incorrect points being used to substantiate extremely debatable points classed as fact that I struggle to even know where to start. As I don't have two hours right now, I'll just leave it at that.

I'm very aroused

Yep. Like I posted earlier, it's the same black or white shit we're used to seeing. No middle groud.

If you don't want Piazon (for these numbers), then you want Pirlo.


And Dru, that's completely normal since you're talking to me. I have that effect on people.

 

[Bozi]

this is my point,i don't want Pirlo but because i am not masturbating at throwing 6m transfer and 1m wages at a teenager i must want to fill my team with zimmer frame laded "world cup winners"

That would explain a lot

You have a gift that many men crave

 

[PiN7uRiCCHi0]

I don't see us in a position to buy young and talented players who could become WC after a few years

when we clearly lack good enough players who are able to help the team out now

 

[Bozi]

plus signing players who "might" be world class in 2-3 years leaves us with a shortfall in playing staff NOW

So people would be okay with paying a primavera player (who has played a grand total of 0 senior games) 1 million € a year? Which may end up costing us 2 million € a year (taxes?, I'm not familiar with the specifics of what was offered).

I'm all for snapping up young talents, but the whole point in doing so is getting them before they become ridiculously expensive, simply because they still have everything to prove.

I agree. And I like what the guys are doing with youngsters like Sørensen, who will turn out to be incredibly cheap.

My thoughts on the whole Piazon thing. Obviously talented (after seeing one game), but wouldn't have made it to the team in a few years. When the figure of 6m came up I wasn't really opposed to it, if he didn't "make" it, then I don't think we'd make such a big loss down the line. Now it's said that he cost Chelsea €12m? I'm glad Juventus didn't go through with it, because the more pressing concerns in the current team.

What I don't like is the interest in Pirlo.

You need to talk to more chicks on the internet

Don't be shy

Then I'm sorry my hawk eye didn't see how great player Pato was after 9 matches.

Anyway, no point to continue this discussion.

 

[GordoDeCentral]

i agree on passing on piazon, but why the fuck are we going after pirlo??

 

[Nicholas]

Unless it's a tactic to lower Aquilani's price.

 

[Hust]

WHAT THE FUCK?

So we couldn't use ANYONE from the youth team, and HAD to bring in a player from a club I've never heard of? What the fuck have we become?!

We signed him 4 days ago actually. Hot prospect for the future...

Reactions when we got an 18 year old Sorensen last summer...just saying...seems to have worked out well for us so far. All it takes is a fucking gamble.
