Retardi is nowhere near Nedved level though. You make exceptions for players of a certain quality, even if they are 30, but Retardi isn't one of them.
i never compared them, that's not the point.
buying players in their prime isn't an exception though. a 28 year old player isn't old, let's not draw arbitrary lines. just read what osman wrote above
28 year old sergej would easily be our best midfielder. as for berardi, he'd easily replace di maria and has better g/a than dybala in the last few seasons. i don't know whether they fail at jj or not, they offer no guarantees, i don't even think we're after berardi for allegri's shitty 3-5-2 with no wingers, but dismissing them just because they're 28 isn't something i can agree with

...yet we only look at Italian players...
jj just signed a murican and a polak, last season we recruited bremer, di maria, pogba, kostic, paredes, sergej is yugoslavian, etc. berardi rumor has no substance imo.
parisi is cool, i'm all for it
