The problem with recouping Higuain's fees by selling deadweight is that we are not good at selling them.. Zaza for example is refusing offers and insists on staying.

yeh im kinda worried...

apart of some good deals like matri and ogbonna...we have had some problems selling.

when does the Serie A TV deal expire?

2018

2018

Ok so the Chinese investors have two seasons to turn Inter and Milan around and if they do the next deal should be very lucrative

He does remind me of Tevez the way he is barrel-like, doesn't look very athletic. Also sweats like a pig. But as long as he's not actually unfit it's not a problem. I promise I won't call him a fat bastard anymore.

Maybe Juve will get him in better shape than Napoli.

it's kind of nice in a way actually, reminiscent of some old school players who despite not being in the best shape still had the talent to be better than everyone else

You have to look at the context. We're an almost complete team, with world class players in every position. But we are lacking a world class bomber alongside Dybala, so our board now went all in to add that final missing piece.

Also keep in mind that our revenues are growing, we are winning scudetti like it was nothing and with this team we can expect to go far in the Champions League several seasons in a row, which will go a long way of recuperating all that money (and more).

Yeah it's a monumental fee, but I believe it's the correct decision and I'm excited as hell.

We'll see, I guess.

The context is this - you are paying an enormous amount of cash for a 29 yo player, who has shown one constancy thruout his career - the big moments are too big for him. When all is said and done, Juve still won't have that WC striker you said you needed even after paying enough money to buy two such players.

Growing revenues do not make this any less of a careless and even stupid transfer. The question here is not if Juve can afford to pay such a sum for one player but if they are getting their money's worth. Very few players out there are worth such an amount and they are all total game-changers. Higuain is not one of those players.

This feels like Juve/Marotta got emotional and overreacted in an attempt to go for the CL and ended up paying a ton of money for a player, who at most would guarantee them another scudetto, a title you can win with Mandzukic up front and a good back-up for him. You are basically banking on Higuain, out of nowhere at the age of 29, to become a game-changer, who'd elevate Juve to that next level in the CL. That is one bet I would not want a part in, especially not at the expense of 95 mil.

P.S. Of course you are excited as hell - would be the normal human reaction under similar circumstances. But that's approaching the situation with the pure emotions of a fan and emotions are a bad adviser to have in business, which is why I thought this deal was very much out of character for Marotta.

I'm pretty sure everyone is super hungry for that trophy. Especially those who's leaning towards the end of top level: Barzagli, Buffon, Evra, Alves, Lichtsteiner..

Super talent Dybala will be equally hungry alongside new signing Pjanic. It's a great mix of ages in the squad and if we keep Pogba and get Gonzalo this is undoubtably the best team we've had for a long long time. We'd have a world top 4 attack. World top 3 midfield, and the worlds best defense. That's CL favorite material !

With all due respect to Higuain all these player mentioned are legends while Higuain is WC but no legend!

P.S Can someone translate this for me - Since I`m not an expert in Italian I understand this article as Marotta convinced Higuain with Gnocchi and something about vegaterians

Juventus, botta e risposta Gnocchi-Appendino su Higuain
JUVENTUS HIGUAIN GNOCCHI APPENDINO / TORINO - Il caso Higuain ha fatto parlare un po' tutti e continuerà a farlo, soprattutto sul web. Si è scritto di tutto e nella folla di Twitter ecco spuntare il messaggio ironico di Gene Gnocchi: "Higuain chiarisce perché ha scelto Torino: Non è stato Marotta, mi ha convinto il progetto dell' Appendino".

La risposta della prima cittadina non si è fatta attendere e, attraverso il suo profilo, ha scritto: "Prima della firma ho rassicurato Higuain: a Torino non metteremo l'asado fuorilegge", con chiaro riferiento alla promozione della dieta vegana e vegetariana, che fa parte del suo programma.

Yeah, I wish our board were good businessmen like those guys in Milan. Stay low and pay 20 mil for Bertolacci supastar.

Its a mistake for Chinese to go to Italy as there is no revenue there and competition is too high!
With that in mind they should work on building a new stadium to change their revenue structure and only then think about spending

So many things wrong with that post..

But the most ridiculous part has to be 'out of nowhere'. Higuain has played his entire career for a top 3 club in either Spain or Italy and has played for arguably the one club in the world that's even bigger than Juventus. This isn't some anonymous nobody.

complains about high fees for 29year olds

doesnt realize fees like that have been paid before by juve for other players like thuram, and nedved

also you paid a similar high fee at the time for rui costa.

what i am trying to say is lol

 

[icemaη]

Remember when we got Tevez he hadn't scored a CL goal for ages?

I'm pretty sure these chinese will bail out before any substantial advancement is done on both milan clubs.

Right now they are jumping into a new territory looking for quick opportunity, they thought they would get easy money, once they saw the mess, they will bail out like tohir.

Only italian themselves can fix this, this is totally different than chelsea, city and psg, on their case their owners didn't have to fix fundamental mess like what milan clubs have.
