Should the players we buy be based off of their anticipated resale value. Are we a lower midtable club now?
hello man! wake up! where have you been till now?
bar last summer we always sold 1-2 important players every summer to make our "mercato"
We rely on capital gains to stay alive and have our books on +/- 0 or slight red.

He’s got a good point though, if we’re getting older players for decent price (ala manzukic) then it’s fine. But paying 90 freakin millions on 28/29 year old Higuain was a terrible decision. Paying 30 mil on 30 year old Matuidi was another clear mistake.
Now we’re stuck with these 2 and we can’t sell them even for a fraction of their original price !
When we paid 40 mil for Dybala or bernardeschi even if we decide to sell, we can always recap that price or at least 30 mil in worst case scenario.
It doesn’t matter that we’re top club or mid-table one, from a financial point of view, that would be the right way to do build the team.
watch the big boys.
Do you see them spending huge money for those older than 27?
Either you buy an Hazard or you don't shove that kind of money.
See Kondogbia and Nainggolan in Inter scenario.
Worse to worst Kondogbia managed Inter a good fee after 2years of nothing and another 2years of loan. Bought for 36 resold for 22 still managed to make a plusvalenza.
Kondogbia is 26yrs old today.
Nainggolan?? they spent 42m players+money and now they're stuck with a player being 31years old that didn't adapt to Inter and that now they were forced to loan for free at Cagliari paying at least half of his high salary.
getting the likes of Sancez is another deadly trap.
Since we're not a team that buy good players and keep them till the end of their career if they perform we should change a go for the younger ones.
Instead of the cheap 28-29years old dude that nobody will ever want unless we release him for free
everybody knew we had to offload Higuain and he still here.
Khedira God know the reason has renewed his contract for 2 season for 6m/year and now what? give him 5-8m to end the contract we made him sign last summer?
Mandzukic is a decent asset if we sell Higuain keep Dybala nad have him as back up forward not as a winger.
Under Allegri he was always our striker even if he wasn't a score goal cause you know Allegri was afraid to bench him.
We brought in 2 mids Rabiot and Ramsey (which I hope he's gonna be fit cause ohoho 28years old high wages) and everybody knew we had to sell Matuidi (contract expiring) and Khedira (high wages).
Now nobody wanna leave and what? we waste toons of money just to pay their salary.
mid Pjanic,Rabiot,Ramsey,Bentancur,Can +Matuidi and Khedira for 3 spots.
