Not enough output for me, can you really rely on him for numbers; goals, assists, appearances?!? Supposing Verratti would cost €30m in this hypothetical situation, I could think of more effective players to spend the rest on.
another thing that peasants on this forum forget:
when you get a cash injection through a sale, or board backing, it's public knowledge. It's not some secret thing. so suddenly the player that would normally go for 15m is suddenly costing 25m, because other clubs know you have the money. And they know you are desperate to fill in the squad.
don't beleive me? see Torres sale and Carrol buy, or Cavani sale and Higuain buy, or Bale sale and countless spurs buys.
For every Zidane sale and Nedved, Buffon and Thuram buy there are countless Carrols.
teams will drain you dry.
And yet I wouldn't say any of those players are at their best or most consistent level.
Agree, but no denying both Pogba and Tevez have been clutch. Juve I reckon would be right next to Milan if not for their game winners
