My point is that saying he's never been tested in Serie A is not an excuse to not pay for him. If he his talented, then he'll show it regardless of where he plays.
I do get the Point but we should stop overrating these players... He wouldn't have played for us anyway.
And i do doubt that any of bouy Applet will ever play a big part for us or even Marrone.

Yeah the sat with us in many meetings just for fun. In reality the never wanted to sell 50% of him to us( and yeah even if we would have got 50% he would stayed there) Psg now came with a offer to good to say no to. 11 million euros + 3 million euros in bonus.
It's quite simple this situation. It's very clear that Marotta had the kid in high regard.
But Marotta decided to play hardball with Pescara based on the kid's will to play for Juventus - in Italy. I'm sure that he could have added 1/2M if he wanted to. But he didn't think it would be necessary.
So PSG appeared and fucked us big time. So Marotta's hardball fucked it up this time. One point less for him in this mercato.
Why would it be a point less for Marotta? It's not like he was a priority? It's not like we needed him. He wasn't even gonna play for us this season, seeing as how he had no place in the squad, and would've most likely been loaned out or kept at Pescara. Apparently he wasn't even tested in Serie A, so he could've been a hit or miss. So why remove a point? This is silly!
Well if he is so talented they could have gotten 20mil next Year... My Point is we dont really know what was talked behind closed Doors. Maybe they wantec to sell the full rights from the beginning
If we'd signed him he would moan about another CM.
Now we haven't he'll moan about a young talent that we should have bought rather than the Italian mediocrity we usually do.
He's coming off a great season, the chance that he wouldn't come near his performences last year and Pescara getting relegated could mean his price would've dropped. They cashed in.
