Well the situation is what it is. Unless marotta is pulling a smoke screen and there is some big surprise. Not many players are available that will give us that "guarantee"
It started with Oscar, Isco, Goetze goes down to Jovetic and Cuadrado and finally Draxler, so availability is subjective. It's not just player will. The buying club needs to create the conditions to be favourable. Look at how defensive we are sounding 'what's the alternative'? What does that mean? As four time champions of aerie a and a CL finalist, we are asking this question? That too on the back of Marotta himself claiming that top players want to play for us.
Fiorentina could convince Mario Gomez to make a switch from Bayern but the best Juve can do in such a successful season is Draxler who is perhaps not even the first name that would pop in a CAM discussion given his wider play from the previous two seasons? Common guys. We need to move on from this resigned attitude. When dealing with big clubs and top players we have to ensure we are on top of our game. This is the reality.
We are all talking about Goetze not wanting to move from his 'boyhood' club, but none of us are making a mention that we are offering him a pay cut to move. Off the top of my mind, Felipe Anderson would be a good move, he may cost us a higher transfer fee (40-45m), but his wages may fall within our parameters. We are asking for loan plus option deals in every big negotiation, don't know what message that sends out in terms of our clarity on that move. Kind of makes me feel we aren't sure when dealing with the big boys. If we can't close a big player after selling a World Class one, with CL money and the best conditions possible in our favour, then this is not going to get better anytime soon. It's no longer a financial outlook, it's a mentality and approach. We are not giving ourselves enough credit as a club. It's almost like we are out of our depth right now, which means we should never have sold Vidal. A core for the new cycle was already in place. His sale has not drastically improved that but has realistically weakened us and lost us the consistency that a Draxler level upstart will not resurrect. But that's another tangent.
