No, trust me, I understand the business aspect of it, my major was finance in school. What aggravates me is that a lot of people around here say things like, "Let's go for the CL this year, let's get player x!" and insert either some second-rate or former great player past his prime. That's not the way to do it, and it cannot be done like that. If you want to do things like that, you have to spend money.
Year 1, get Ribery, year 2, get Gomez, year 3, get Robben, year 4, get Javi, year 5, get Götze.
Obviously not exactly like that, but you get the idea. Instead of getting 3 or 4 role players a year for what adds up to 22M Euros, spend 25M Euros on one amazing talent or great young player who will perennially be on the team sheet.
That's what my argument is.

I think that's the sort of thing we will be looking at from now on, to follow the signing of Tevez. Don't forget we have developed two champions from relatively nowhere in Vidal and Pogba, the quality in our team is increasing. Having signed Tevez, Llorente and Ogbonna for relatively little this summer there is now scope for a €25m signing each year, if required. You'd possibly be looking at another forward to replace Vucinic, a Pirlo replacement (for me not needed, with Pogba), a Barzagli replacement, etc.
We shouldn't forget that Juventus never really did buy expensive ready made champions, unless we had already sold one or two for huge money. That is a possibility in the future. Also, when we did start trying the €25m routine on returning to Serie A it failed spectacularly. To get players like Ribery or Robben you have to be opportunist but have solid finances and also be an attractive proposition. Up until this summer Juve really weren't as attractive, and probably still are not compared to several others, just because of the league and lack of mega money.
