I'd like to see more deals like this in football, from all clubs. Less initial capital outlay, and more dependence on performance-rated bonuses. I mean, a happy medium has to be found, but 30-40 mil deals for players with big potential, but not at all established yet, shouldn't happen. 25-30 mil +5-10mil in bonuses for excellent performance is very appropriate.
In any case, I do believe that people are going to be disapoointed from him next season. I don't expect any miracles from him next year in terms of impact, best case scenario is something similar to what Morata did this year. In my opinion he's a great long-term investment that could still pay dividends in 8,9 years.
Go jihad on his ass?
He's not going to flop. Double digit goals and assists for 7 straight years in Juve jersey. 6 scudetti in those 7 years, and 2 CL titles. Will score the winning goal in 2021 CL final. Assist winning goal in 2018 CL final.
Juventus to move to .500 in CL finals by 2021. 5 wins, 5 losses!

As I said, he will play a primary role in Juventus Champion's League titles of 2018 and 2021.
I'm think somewhere in the realm of 10-15 goals + 5-10 assists in all competitions next year. Probably in the lower end of both those ranges. I'd be very satisfied with a 12 goal-7 assist campaign from him in his first year here. Somewhat similar to Morata with his 12 goals-4 assists so far.

i can't believe the phobia that iturbe created it here 
If Iturbe was doing badly when all around him were doing well, it'd be more understandable to worry about Iturbe's poor season.
But, given that Iturbe and Dybala are very different players, it still wouldn't make much sense.
His greatest asset is his intelligence, something rare nowadays. That's why stats don't tell the whole story, specially related to this guy. And he clearly is a very confident person, he seems to have the needed personality to play and shine at a giant club. Stats also don't tell this.
The price is very steep, but if Juventus want to sign the guy now it is what it is. We are overpaying to secure it now. We could maybe hardball Zamparini and wait till the end of the mercato to sign him for 20M. But this would be a low chance possibility, since in all likelihood PSG would come calling with a stupid offer. And Inter was really pushing for him as well (maybe only to inflate the price). Even Roma could be a contender later in the market, after they sell Pjanic and Nainggolan.
So I understand why Marotta did this, and in view of the fact that he's a player with rare characteristics (intelligence, great passing, vision, personality) willing to play for us, I think he's doing the right thing. Creative players are such a rare breed nowadays in football. With Pogba and Tevez on the verge of leaving, this team will need creativity to come from other players. Dybala is one of them.
I don't know if he will explode, but chances of a complete flop are low, because intelligence, vision and confidence are very solid features. Even if he becomes only a rotation player, we can definitely get 20M + back later on a sell.
And his salaries are realitively low.

but i want next seasons final at San Siro :excited: having Moratti with his buddy Thohir, joined by Berlusconi with the chinese thats gonna buy Milan, watching us defend the CL title at their stadium, while their clubs are battling for 10th place in Serie A would be truly epic and majestic. that would be the best thing to ever happen to football
