I am close to a break down because I just cant get through to you people. Juventus are in deep trouble on the transfer market. If we don't spend at least 300m upgrading this team then we are going to be in a dark place for the next 10 years.
We have no truly exceptional talent coming through and a lot of ageing and mediocre players. Either we are European elite or not but one thing is for certain, that decision will be made for us if we continue on our current trajectory.

It's about making smart signings that complement the team. Look at a club like Bayern as another excellent example of how to work the market, year in, year out.
For us, guys like Vidal (10.5M), Pirlo (free), Pogba (free), Khedira (Free), Barzagli (300k), Tevez (12Mish), Rugani (6.5Mish), Szczesny (14M), were all excellent and very cheap business at the time. You don't necessarily have to break the bank to bring in quality, it's about mixing market opportunities with some solid expenditures.
We don't have a lot of mediocre players, either. That's just not true, and the results these past years have proven it. There are changes coming as the Italian core and a couple others age, there will be some serious transitions coming, but it's about incremental adjustments.
We also do have some good young talent on our books, like Rugani, Caldara, Dybala, Bernardeschi, Pjaca, Bentancur, Kean. We'll have to wait and see how some of these guys develop.
Be patient, and enjoy the success we've had. The market is insane right now, but trust that management actually does have a clue. They're obviously a huge part of the 6 consecutive scudetti, 3 consecutive coppas, and 2/3 CL finals. They know we need some upgrading.
