It doesn't go well with the fan, I know. But have in mind that capable people came up with such a solution. It's more of a necessity than anything else.
The Juve starting XI that played in the CL final was made of Buffon, Marchisio and 9 other players that we bought for a total of 65-70m euro. To create such a team for so little money doesn't happen often. We were lucky AND capable and we did create this team, but it's like a 1 in a 1000 chance to do it again by buying freebies and 10m euro players.
Now, once we arrived among the best, the struggle is to stay there. Eventually, we'll stay there permanently once our revenue hits the sky and we'll be able both to keep our stars AND buy the top players for big money. But we're far from that. We'll need to have at least 2-3 very good/great seasons, win more fans, attract sponsors etc.
But we were an old team and the big sharks would have eventually bought our stars anyway. Then what? Start from zero again? No, we'll keep looking for potential stars like Pogba or for great deals like Tevez and Vidal for circa 10m eur. But that won't be enough this time. Now we'll also need to get proven top quality. And at the moment, unfortunately, we can only do it with these buyback clauses.
So, whatever's needed in order to get that revenue and stay at the top. I'll take even the short term embarrassment.
