the way i get it: we couldn't sell higuain, milan were the only serious potential buyers, they know that bonucci is unhappy, bonbon was their most expensive player, they needed a cb, their offer for piggy only stood if they get caldara, and we agreed because we know bonucci's qualities, he's good buddies with chiellini, he was good with us, and selling caldara would provide us with some plusvalenza. it makes sense in case you forget that we don't have any defenders left under 30, except rugani, who we were about to sell to chelsea, and caldara is a talent we waited for two years, and we invested 24 millions in him, which was even more money for a young guy back then.
of course he'd be good enough for juve, that's not even a question. it's just we have a full squad in defense, including barza on a 1-year contract, and marotta didn't tell leonardo to fuck off and find an other cb to replace bonbon. it should have been a higgy-bonbon swap without caldara being included, despite caldara's agent pushing for a move.
also, is caldara aggressive? did i miss something?
