Didn't realize BM payroll so much higher than Juve. Wonder if the 12mil is gross or net? If net no wonder MDL prefers Germany over England. Show me the money and who can blame them! Never thought MDL was going to stay at Juve for the long haul. Hyped up when we got him as going to be the one of best CBs ever. If that's the case then no way Juve would be able keep him down the road with too many other top teams having deeper pockets.
Get 90 mil now and stop worrying about needing two CBs. Cash talks, just need Juve management to spend wisely. Right now KK and Bremer available, the best duo possible to use the money. Who knows what CBs would be available next summer? So we get 70m next year (don't believe that much) but maybe no KK or Bremer quality available to us. Get these two now who know the league well and only can get better together in year two.
So I ask this question, what amount next summer would be satisfactory to hold onto MDL this season? And then management is fishing around again next season for 2 CBs. If MDL wasn't here this season and seeing Chiell leaving, who would be the top like CB to replace him, KK. Is having MDL here going to get Juve a CL trophy this season? I seriously doubt it. Don't care how dedicated MDL might be, the guy's head has already left town.
