The problem at 30 is that a team knows it's basically a last contract. You sign a striker at 30/31 for 3 years, and he is now 33/34, his form is likely declining, and no team will buy him for more than peanuts. Therefore whatever you pay for a player over 30 you won't recoup, so obviously teams don't want to spend big money on a 30 year old. The law of diminishing returns. Now a 27 year old you can still spend decent money on because hopefully at 30 you can sell him for about 1/2-2/3 of what you paid. Ideally the only striker you are going to spend more than 30 mil+ on is younger than 27. Like Edison Cavani at 26 for 63 mil.
So Mirko, who we bought for 15 mil at 28 is now 30 and worth at most 10 mil. 2/3. Quags who we bought at 27 for 10.5 million, is now 31 and realistically worth 5-7 million. 1/2 to 2/3. These guys have only a couple years of high quality football left and then are basically bosmans, or sold for peanuts. Why on earth would anyone spend big on a player who has no future resale value?

Osvaldo only turned 28 two weeks ago. It's basically the identical move to Vucinic coming 2 years ago. We paid 15 mil for Vucinic at 28 and gave him 3.5 mil a year. 28 year old Osvaldo and 28 year old Vucinic are very similar.
Vuci last 4 seasons at Roma were 9,11,14,10 league goals. So 44 goals in 122 appearances in league play.
Osvaldo last 4 seasons (2 at Espanyol and 2 at Roma) were 7,13,11,16 league goals. 47 goals in 99 appearances in league play.
So actually Osvaldo goals per appearance are significantly better than Vucinic's in the 4 years before they each moved to Juve. SO if we paid 15 mil for Vucinic at 28, 15-16 mil for Osvaldo at 28 is certainly a decent deal.

U are losing perpespective here. He is in Juve, and love the team, the scudettis etc... but the harsh reality is that he is a benchwarmer with no hope of returning to the starting 11. In this situation, u have 2 options:
-Stay and accept ur role as a benchwarmer , throwing ur career down teh drain ecause you know you still got it in you.
or
-Try to find a solution to your situation and find employment in a place ur services are required.
This has nothing to do with him going to merda or being a traitorous thief...which he isnt. This is about taking in consideration ur needs as a man and as a proffesional. And theres nothing wrong with that in the case of Vucinic.
UNlike other leeches from the past, he is intelligent enought to accept his time here is over and is time to find new adventures.
