Well, we always had a quality player in Kovacevic when he was with us. But it seemed evident that he wasnt going to break through with Del Piero having his best years ahead of him.
But we must also take into consideration that Kovacevic has improved dramatically these past few years. And when we did let him go, he had the same amount of skill as Salas. The only thing is, we got money from him.
On the other side of the story, the Salas saga has always been a sour experience for Juve.
