How is that our business model, guys? You think we would have sold Bonucci, if he hadn't been a bitch and demanded out? Same with Pogba, we wouldn't have sold him if he hadn't wanted out (but I figure Raiola was engineering a move right from the time Paul signed on a free).
Just because that has happened for a few years doesn't mean it's our business model. It means that when you're a team like Juventus, most of the time pretty much the entire starting 11 - bar one or two positions - could be considered 'stars'.
Arturo was acting poorly, the other guys asked out. If anything, the business model is to sell players who don't want to be at the club. And I'm fine with that, if players don't want to be at an historic giant like Juventus, in a team that has been stacking trophies and continuously challenging for Europe's biggest honour the past few (or 6) years, then fuck 'em.
Anyway, I don't think it's true at all that we 'had' to sell one of our stars last year, given the insane CL revenue that was earned. In my opinion, no way.
Correlation is not causation.
