I appreciate the carefully constructed counter-point you offered.
And, if you notice, I said I hope he succeeds at Juve. I do. I pray for it. But that doesn't somehow gloss over the fact he is basically an unknown, unproven commodity that Juve is buying for 30m.

There's a reason Palermo paid 12 mil for him 3 years ago. And there's a reason we're paying 30+ mil for him now. He's had a very good season. He's showed promise and huge potential for years now. And this year he finally started putting it all together. He's definitely proven he can improve season by season, and it's likely that will continue.
But he is certainly not an unknown and unproven commodity. He's not well-established, and a world class player already, but you're going way too far in the opposite direction.
