We don't want to risk overpaying quality players, however we do overpay backup players.

Exactly. 18M Asamoah, 18M Zaza, 15M Ogbonna, 14M Isla and goes and goes... At least we paid for Dybala

Anyone else think that we should of been all over Cech for 14m?

Defensively not offensively. Pirlo's vision and long pass accuracy is still unmatched. If anyone can compete with him in terms of vision and long passing accuracy its alonso and modric and thats only because Pirlo declined.

Overall marchisio now is an upgrade on Pirlo yes because the weight of creating chances was carried by Tevez and Pogba too last season. But now that Tevez is gone and we are stacked on defensive CMs, a creative CM/CAM is needed again. You cant expect Dybala to equal Tevez on the best form of his life.

Let me put it this way. The offensively creative players from last season were (1)Tevez, (2) Pirlo, (3) Marchiso and (4) Pogba. Even then we were much less threatening in attack than the elite clubs and we wanted a world class CAM to bring us closer to the attack that the other teams have.

This season it is (1) marchisio, (2) Pogba and (3) Dybala. So not only is it 4 against 3 but also Tevez was at the best form of his life while dybala is still a youngster. So its 4 against 2.75 assuming Dybala is 75% as good as the best Tevez. We need a great CAM to numerically maintain the same level of last season in attack. Some one who can make up for (Pirlo's creativity + the difference between Tevez and dybala).

The priority should thus be a CAM to maintain our offensive level. Next year we would naturally improve without signings because of the increased chemistry of the CAM and dybala, and the growth of the CAM, Dybala, Morata and Pogba. We would only need to fix the defense and GK situation.

I dont expect us to be as good as last season. No one should. Last season we were over-performing and had a very stable squad. This year its transition so the objective should be QF and scudetto. If the decrease in quality is from finalists to QFs then Management have succeeded.

And the year after that the decrease from QFs to a third placed EL group stage will be a success.

No. He would have sat unhappily on the bench just as he did at Chelsea. Neto is on the bench but he'll accept the role as back up knowing that he could likely place Buffon in two or three years time.

I guess most people don't agree with the way we spent not how much.

 

[lgorTudor]

Net spent only 20mil tho

 

[Juventino[RUS]]

Net spent only 20mil tho

So? We have no more money cause John is too busy with his imperialism

 

[-=DJANGO=-]

The suspension of FFP jacked up players prices. I don't know whether we as a club should try to use this loophole and put money in the club too.

Anyway FFP on/off is a shame, but I guess you can't go against the flow...

 

[duranfj]

We didn't just buy we also sold players for 68,5M, that means we only spent 19,6M. Inter, Milan and Genoa spent more money than us.

 

[LiquidPLP]

We're yet to spend IMO but only if some opportunities arise.

 

[Alen]

Net spent only 20mil tho

Yeah, if we compare the net spending, even in serie A we're not leaders

1. AC Milan -€48 970 000 (will be reduced to -€34 970 000 if Monaco exercise their option to fully purchase El Shaarawy)
2. Inter -€29 100 000 (will rise to -68 100 000 if they pay the bonuses for Kondogbia and Murillo, and when they'll fully buy Miranda, Montoya and Jovetic)
3. Napoli -€26 400 000
4. Juventus -€19 500 000 (will rise to -26 500 000 if we pay the 8m variables for Dybala, 2m variables for Mandzukic and receive the 3m eur variables for Vidal)

 

[duranfj]

Your phrasing is all wrong and you're making it seem more negative than he spoke for your effect and to fit your narrative so yes I can read not between the lines like you though

How can you all say this with no evidence ? Even after Pogba yesterday said he wants the number 10 jersey here!

I told you man, Allegri went out and said: What That Hell are you talking Marotta, Dybala isn't a playmaker.

Our manager isn't convinced of our team right now and I love that his pushing to Marotta in public with his request.

Allegri even mentioned Draxler, his not talking about a "numerical" player like Marotta did.

So where is all the money we got from Adidas, from the CL ??

Wow. Either way we didn't really spend too much. It could get reduced with Llorente's and Isla's sales xfinger

 

[Alen]

I don't know, but it's clear that despite the circa 20m eur net spending, we have a weaker team.
Though, I think that we will spend additional 20-30m in this mercato.

we are definitely a weaker team right now, i am afraid that the management are more worried about the financial aspect rather than putting the strongest team out there.

 

[blondu]

Why are they worried? Milan should be worried..

Lets revatilise hernanes career!
