Yeah,Gala was trying to rip us of by offering something like 4 mil.Anyway I think that we made something like 6 mil maximum of Melo.We bought him for 25 mil.We gave purple rats Zanetti valued around 8 mil,rest in cash.We were specialist that time for 25 mil.Bought also Amauri for 25 .Cash and Nocerino."Glory transfer days".
I've been scratching my head here for a couple of minutes, then I got to this part and realised you were just making up your opinion of him.

I didn't watch much of Udinese last season, so I've not got a detailed opinion on Pereyra. Looks like a Juve type of player to me in his work ethic and versatility, and he played well against us in their games, but I couldn't tell you how he did for their whole season. Martinez on the other hand was a key player at Catania for three seasons, probably their best player for spells of that, and he had some high profile games against big teams (at the Massimino mostly). But then he was much more of the attacking focus than Pereyra ever will be.
I thought we went over the reasons for Martinez's failures, but of course €12m was too much for him at the time. We got suckered into paying that with Catania dangling him to other teams abroad, but there is always a bit of a premium from inside your own league.

By giving Melo on loan this year, we save money from his wages. So, a part of that 25m was recovered. BUT, i agree...the only good solution is sell with this type of guys-signings. Ziegler, Melo...De Ceglie all of them could give us some cash...even if we think that Zieglier was in WC squad, Melo had made a lot of good matches with Galata, etc.
Kind of, there are still wages and bonuses (at least sign on bonuses) to consider. Then there is to consider all time and effort put in to scout negotiate sign and so on and then the issue of getting rid of stuff you don't want around. Sometimes that's easy and sometimes (Iaquinta etc) are far from easy or not even possible.
Yes, it's almost for free but we have so much crap we carry around to get like a kebab and a Sprite for when all costs vs gains are concluded.
