I wish you did not take the names I mentioned seriously, they could be anyone exchaned with anyone.
Diego was sold to balance the books and because he was an attractive target to clubs outside Italy. What happened with him afterwards is not of my concern.
Vidal/Pogba are attractive to clubs in England and Spain and can be used to balance the books.
I also know that they are working a lot in the youth sector but at the same time they are loaning the shit out of our players left and right. That's not how I would deal with young players and I know that you out of all members agrees mostly with me on this.
Of course I do, but then now it's a double edged sword.
Nobody wants Juve to buy these unproven kids like Iturbe and Morata, but want those in our own youth sectors or players on loan and co-own, who in most instances have proven even less, to be called up to the senior squad. Berardi is the exception, not the rule.
And as far as Diego being sold to balance the books, you might be right. But keep in mind that the books he was balancing at the time were from the previous regime who spent, in hindsight, well above their means to try and bring a quality product to the table instead of building it gradually like they should have.

I like it how you ended up that post. Someone has got to pay for that too, who could be? An astronomical offer to one of our players would definitely be tempting, no?
You know, it's possible they could do that. It's also possible that the money needed has already been earmarked, and therefore, until the projects are completed, are deducted from the amount of money used in the transfer market.
You normally don't sell off your biggest stars for non-football reasons unless you were relegated or are filing for bankruptcy.
