Higuain to Milan it’s going to be exactly like Falcao to Man UTD , he will fail there, and they won’t sign him :)

Point 1 : Fair. But my irritation is for different reasons.

Point 2: I was more annoyed by the fact that we donated him for peanuts to FUCKING MILAN of all clubs. And i wont deny our passing from the back we suffered without him.

Point 3: Pogba is 25, a superstar. He has way more years ahead of him. He played like a superstar at the World Cup. Considering his marketing potential alone, i'd have had him back especially with Ronaldo there. Bonucci is old is nowhere near his marketing potential.

Point 4 : They arent but we're letting go of potential, simple as that. In hindsight the Higuain-Pogba deal which was virtually a swap deal turned out to be bad business in the end considering how desperate we are to offload him.

I know we're going all in for the short term, but if we dont win CL in the next couple of years, we'd have failed badly with these short term business deals. Just my opinion.

And I agree with you here. My biggest qualm with this move is Bonucci behaved like an idiot and now we're bringing him back. Losing Caldara sucks, but it's pretty clear we are going all in for the Ronaldo-Juve era. If we don't win CL it will be immensely disappointing (could Juve DNA overpower even Ronaldo? :scared: )

I wouldn't call him old though. He's got a lot of years left at a high level if Max helps him get back to his best.

The only thing that makes this mercato go down the toilet is losing our only other young CB or one of our starting XI. That would be a disaster.

Many? Then name 5-10.

Our team made him good. Our defense made him good as they took care of his brain farts. I don't think I've ever seen a defender who made so many $#@! ups in his first 2-3 seasons here.

Cannavaro at RM, Shevchenko at Chelsea, Kaka at RM, Torres at Chelsea, Bonucci, Sneijder, Robben at RM, Ibrahimović at Barcelona wasn't himself...

Why would we or moreover Higuain accept a fucking option?
So let's assume they won't activate it then what? He comes back a year older with his price reduced drastically after Milan?
:sergio: :sergio:
How would he feel with all of this going back and forth...

This is just beyond stupid if it turns out the way it is rumored now. I just hope there is something we all don't know, that will make just a tiny bit of sense in that deal. Like a buy-back for Caldara or a loan with an option to loan with an option to buy with a recompra. I don't know. It's just dumb.

We will still have the 20m from the loan and could therefore sell him elsewere for 35m.
