To play in Villareal?

All three of them have high wages. Trez is getting 4.5m, Amauri 3.5m and Iaquinta with the new contract is around 3m iirc.
Villareal can not offer them such wages so the player will have to accept a big pay-cut in order to sign for Villareal.

Amauri is asking for even more money so there is no way he'll go there and accept a pay-cut. Iaquinta....he's a grateful player and he might accept it after all but by signing a new contract with Juve it looks like we count on him.

This leaves Trez. He wants guaranteed football and for that he'll probably accept a big pay-cut since Villareal can offer him regular starting spot while we can't. Also, Trez is 32 and his contract expires in 2 years. He knows that at 34 he won't be able to find a good team (especially if he stays injured) and even if he does, he won't be getting high wages.
His choice is to sign the last good deal now (even if he earns less than in Juve) or spend two more years in Juve, earning more, but playing less. He's got lots of money already so to him a million or 1.5 million less doesn't mean too much.

As for our directors, Trez is probably the most attractive option to sell. We pay 9m eur a year for his wages (4.5 to him, 4.5 taxes) and this is probably the last chance to earn something from him (to earn money or player in an exchange deal).

You are probably right and this is how they see it: shame though.

By the way why should Amauri get more money?

Bloody less if you ask me.

You think so?

I don't!

I think Trez a few years ago was a better striker than IQ by miles. However, now at 32, he's way past it. He's getting much slower and less vital. Granted, he's still a great talent inside the box, one of the best finishers in world football but the recent injuries have really had their effect on him and I doubt he will see too much playing time if he stays this season.


Let's not even compare Trez right now to Amauri. That's just utterly ridiculous.

true

amauri did little to nothing the 2nd half of this season

 

[rounder]

you shouldn't live in the moment

Apparently not. The past is the place to be.

That's not fair. He was injured for a long time, and he even played well for a few games.

if you say so

 

[JCK]

Selling Poulsen AND Tiago wouldn't be wise since their replacement would cost more.

not fair? double standards much?

The same can be said about Trez.

the same can be said about trez. coming off of another great season in 07-08 the venom is still there. your only knock against him is that he is in his 30s. are you telling me that he is no longer able to be productive?

 

[Luftwaffles]

We apparently let Palladino stay at Genoa at no cost. What can we get for Almiron? a couple of mil? If we're lucky.

Selling Poulsen AND Tiago wouldn't be wise since their replacement would cost more.

Marco Marchionni will be gone by the EOTM.

€5m perhaps.

Still, Amauri was the better player this season.

Too many Amauri haters here for my liking.

 

[MikeM]

We can't just think of next year when thinking about this deal. What about the year after and the year after when Trez will be done. It's best to sell him especially when we get a talent like Rossi coming back.

If we don't buy Rossi now because we need a RB/LB for next year then we'll have wasted our chance. Buy Rossi now and figure out the fullback situation later.

The worst case scenario is that we don't end up with an adequate RB/LB but the upside to that is we end up with 22 year old Rossi. The best case scenario is that we get Rossi and a RB/LB by performing some budget magic. Either way we should go for him.

not hating on him at all. just reminding him that trez was injured as well.

No, it's not the same. Trez is around 4 years older than Amauri and isn't nearly as talented as him. Even after Amauri came back from injury, he was still a good player; he didn't score goals but he helped the team a lot. That's really more than I can say for Trez.

If Trez isn't out there scoring 1 or 2 goals every game, he is pretty much the most useless player out there. He adds nothing to the team in terms of creatvity, he's just a finisher, very much like Iaquinta, except Iaquinta has found his form and is more than capable of replacing Trez.

I don't hate the guy, I just think he's getting old, slow, and unproductive.

Are you honestly telling me you would start Trez ahead of Amauri anyway?

thats a rather subjective assessment

How so?

Trezeguet wipes the floor with Amauri as a finisher and goal poacher.

You're having a laugh.

I'd start Trez anyday.

Talent, well Trez has more talent than three Amauris.

Obviously, and so is everyone else's.

I disagree. amauri was probably the most clinical finisher in serie A in the first half od the season. Did you forget the way he's save our asses nearly every single game with a last second masterpiece finish?

Look, Trez back in his days was probably one of the best finishers in Europe. But now, he's lost his pace, defenders can easilly mark him and he really offers little to the team.

In all fairness, I've never been a huge fan of Trez but I honestly think Amauri is currently a much better player.

 

[Sad Statue]

buffon and chiellini add nothing in creativity too but we don't want to sell them...

not all players add something in creatity. every player has a different job. with 11 diegos/camos/giovincos you don't make a team.
