OK, tell me if I didn't read you correctly here, but you actually believe that it was first intended we'd not sell Zidane and that in the meantime, we'd still buy Buffon, Nedved, Thuram and Salas, for a transaction over €120m? Then you don't know the clubs ways! Juventus are a profitable enterprise, it just isn't in their politics to buy big without selling big. The quartet was brought in to compensate the sales of Zidane and Inzaghi --or thanks to, whichever way you prefer. But one thing's clear though, from the boards own admission, they were never meant to play together and one category determined the fate of the other.
Valid point.
Though, I'd actually only put Nedved's purchases 100% under the catagory of "payed by Zidane."
The reports that Juve signed Buffon was well before Zidane signed with Real Madrid. Don't you think it's a bit of a gamble that Moggi assumed everything will be set and done with Zidane? I'm sure he had some sources to back Buffon's deal up incase the Zidane sale fell. At that point we had just signed a huge deal with fastweb. While you may claim that Juve always balance the book, it's also clear that that transfer campaign wasn't a typical one by juve, and thus 'tradition' shouldn't be valued as highly in the argument.
About Buffon, I think Moggi expected to get a lot more money out of VDS (not 33m, but maybe 15m). That's why it took a while for him to sell him.
Salas was payed by Kovecevic.
Thuram was payed by Inzaghi.

Yeah, but that was before the "market crash", remember?
Everything was "expensive" in 2001.

I mean no one even paid half of the price we paid for buffon for a goalkeeper before.same for thuram.nedved?maybe that was not that bad deal eventhough he was close to 30's or was he?
I hate it when i see players like Kaka - ronaldinho - diego - giuly joined the other clubs for much much less money.how could we miss those transfers:frown:
