When it comes to the Vidal deal, we got him so cheap because he was in his last year. #LuckyMarotta

When it comes to RVP, we should have paid the 30m--it being the last year of his contract matters not. #NaughtyMarotta

I admit saying 'whatever price' is wrong, but let's analyse.

Matri has 30 goals in his last 2 seasons, 43 in his past 3 and scored 20 goals in 10/10 for Cagliari and Juve combined. Does 18M sound like too much for a young striker in red hot form?

you say Bonucci is a 'disaster', many people will say he has improved significantly over the past year, is now a key player for Juve and the national side. Heck Conte changed his system so that he would fit in into the backline alongside Chi and Barza. His positives outweigh his errors.
Let's not forget that Quagliarella was injured for the rest of the season and we were desperate for a striker. It also was the last day of the mercato. What did people expect to get Matri for?
Exactly, plus we were always going to overpay when we were buying one of the good remaining Italian strikers from another Italian team.

See Milner for City, Carrol for Liverpool, etc.

Does it really makes a difference ?!

A quality player is a quality player, whether they are in their last year of contract or not.

So players like Martinez, Bonucci or Matri were not in their last year of contract but does that justify their fee's, it doesn't sorry.....
I take it as you don't really have a clue how business deals in general work..

Not overspending for RVP, making a 10mil offer to Drogba and prefering Bartender to Borriello were wise moves in my book.
If he really has smth in his sleeve for a 12-15 x-mas Lolorente move, then he will earn my respect!
Otherwise, he will just proove he is as incompetent as we think of him...

That's quite funny, I like it.
