That's completely not the point though. A lot of players would be better than the ones we've got, but spending the big money(which isn't something we usually do) on him, and especially since Viola will ask too much, doesn't seem like the best of ideas.
Suns, my man, mellow. Get on the mic cuz you know you eat Jello.
Let's go under the assumption that Jovetic will indeed go for either straight cash or a combination of cash and players for the total that was thrown around last year of 30 million. Which, might I add, I don't believe will be the case. I think he will go for less than that, but I digress.
Who out there, for 30 million, would you rather they spend the money on?
Suarez? Yeah, he's worth that. But he's also a mental midget that makes Mario Balotelli look like Mother Theresa. Anyone else? Also let's consider the age factor, and the fact that he is 23, and also a striker, easily the most overpriced position on the market.

Aside from Jovetic being a very good player, the old two-birds-with-one-stone aspect of this transfer has to be very attractive, since there seems to be a reasonable prospect of Juve getting rid of a player in the deal.
Would make life quite a bit easier for Juve if one of the players they want to sell goes to Fiorentina.
I think that there might be one aspect in this that could play to Juve's advantage as far as that is concerned, especially if Matri or Quag are the ones to go.
Either one of them would feature heavily on Montella's side, which in turn, will give them a better opportunity to achieve what all Italian players ultimately want, which is to play on the National Team. Rotational players, which are what Matri and Quag are at this point, don't normally get called up, unless it is Giaccherini for some odd reason, which I still can't figure out.
