I'm excited about the Bonucci deal. It's the first time in many, many years actually pay for a CB. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Latest such transfer would be Cannavaro for Carini, who could have been valued more than 5m at the time. Then we payed 3-4m (i.e. peanuts) for Boumsong. All the others have been more or less free (Kovac - free transfer, Gladstone and Knezevic - loan)

Ah, forgot about Andrade.

Juve spent over 5m to get Criscito's other half from Genoa in 2007.
You are both correct. Still, it's very rare that we spend this much money on a defender. Thinking about it, none of our fullbacks have really cost anything either.

De Ceglie - free
Molinaro - small amount
Grygera - free
Zebina - free
Grosso 3m
Brazzo - free
Balzaretti - free
Chiellini - small money

Andrade case can't be compared...because he had that savage injury and was never able to give us anything back for what we paid for him.

I get what the lad is saying...as in...its our biggest investment in a defender for a long time, a defender with a potetnially very bright future. And I agree, its wicked that we have snapped up one of a handful of promising italian defenders.

After seeing more of criscito, I am happy for us to be selling the rest of his registration, because he doesnt fit the bill for what we need for Left Back.

As for this Martinez routine...I am lost and confused. Marotta apparently mentioned to the press that the Krasic deal was not dead, and that we had merely focused ourselves, presently, on Martinez...does this mean that Martinez will only be confirmed IF the commie swine don't budge on their transfer fee demands buoyed by City??? or that, we sign pepe, sign martinez, and still may sign Krasic????
