well tbh, i can agree with that logic to a certain extend because beppe is pennypincher nr. 1 and always tries to save as much as possible at any deal.
furthermore, 0.5m here, 1m there could easily add up quickly.
so "throwing away" half a million looks like a questionable decision BUT
- we don´t know any numbers yet. we don´t even know who we gonna buy/loan.
- that primavera argument doesn´t make any sence imo. as weird as it might sound,
the vast majority of our primavera can only dream about becoming as good as osvaldo or matri 
. oh yeah it sounds really weird.
giovinco wasn´t a key player by any means but he was still somewhat useable, just like matri or osvaldo would be.
btw: inter
just played a primavera kid today. was at fault for 2 goals and got sent off

.
- i hope that whoever comes doesn´t have to get too many minutes but if there is some kind of injury or whatever i will feel a lot safer with matri/osvaldo than with some kid.
