That might be, but it's undeniable that post 11 we took on a changed style as a club and a unique strategy in the transfermarket. One that I liked and which became lo stilo juve for me - hence my scepticism when it comes to moves like these. He's 19 - since when do 19 year old CB's even get on the field for us?
When they just kicked our sorry asses and are possibly the best CB of their generation?
And post 11 approach and financial dealings were not lo stilo Juve in core even if it was smart management. It was climbing up from the abyss in a grueling journey back to lo stilo Juve. A sporting and financial powerhouse that can compete with the best.
In post 11, players like Di Natale were saying no to us...we sold our best mids because we couldn't afford the salary they get elsewhere. That's definitely a wounded and handicapped Juve and not one that is representing what Juve been throughout its history. We used to have the most balon D winning players in top clubs.
I'm not worried about playing premium moolah to get the best young players there is. That is what we should go back to doing, now that we have gradually grown back to the financial health necessary to make it happen again.
Be excited bro, getting De Ligt is like getting a Nesta while he was starting out in Lazio...
