The Higuain deal was the worst deal I've ever seen at Juve. And it's had a domino effect on alot of our dealings. Khedira on 6m doesn't help our case at all. Bonucci is still a first team player for us and is one of the first names on the team sheet. We aren't "stuck" with him. We are actually getting something in return. He's playing on a regular basis. Rugani is 26 year's old and is on a 3m salary. That's really not alot of money. We aren't in this mess because of Rugani's 3m salary.
Re Sami and Blaise; Who do you think is willing to pay any transfer fee for those 2? Khedira was 32 a year ago, constantly injured and on a very heavy salary. I'm not convinced we could have made any pocket change on him. I don't know if you are trolling or are serious here.
I'm talking about 2018 for Khedira. I was talking about a sale back then too, he was still a starter for us and had (some) value, so it was MUCH easier to part ways. That was before he got an extension. Ofcourse no one will pay money for him now, and no one will match his salary, he barely played in 2 years now.
Same for Matuidi, but last summer. People bring as excuse for Cans sale the fact he didn't suit sarri, but how does Matuidi fit into that? His technique and passing is worse than Cans isn't it? If it was to keep Raiola happy then I can see the benefit (although we still sold Kean, we didn't get Labile and if we don't get Haaland, why exactly are we giving up so much ground to him?), but then why did we use our option to extend his contract, then terminate it? Where is the sense in that? I can't see how the 2 benefit from it either...
Khedira was also a starter for us when we extended him, as was Matuidi. Bonucci 1st should not even be brought back, 2nd should not be given an extension and raise and 3rd, should be sold while we still have offers. In 1-2 summers no one will want him either, and then we are gonna be stuck with him same way as the other oldies you guys despise now. Rugani at 3M a year is WAY overpaid, he's seriously one of the worst CBs in Serie A as of now, and we religiously stick to him like he's some jewel we can not do without. Meanwhile, we toss around other HG players like we produce useful ones on a regular basis (Spinazzola and Kean the recent 2), despite them showing more in their brief time with us than Rugani in 5 years.
Ever since buying Higuain we make one terrible decision after the other. With the exception of Ronaldo and De Ligt, all the other deals we did are either plain meh or flat out bad. Like I said, I hope this summer will be the turning point and we start making sense again. Because we should be doing better than some of the last mercatos
