Can we get back to the football?

I like you Monty but insinuating that my posts are somehow influenced by drug use is firstly untrue and secondly very offensive to many users here who value my insightful posts.

You are to retract your statement.
Ok lets talk football, the only way we are going to invest 300mil in the market is if we get bought out by a rich owner/group and I dont see that happening in the near future

Edit: filthy rich

I am saying that the only reason they are not a mid to lower tier club in the PL right now is because they spent money. If we continue to regress and not spend money we will become the Pre Ambramovich Chelsea of the Champions League.

And no I am not a double account. I can't post as often as i'd like as I am frequently in the Colombian jungles. I am a simple coffee bean distributor. Feel free to check my IP to bonafide my credentials Amigo.
Ahhh... you are but Simple Irish Colombian-Jungle Coffee Bean Distributing Tuz Royalty...

The plot thickens! That is quite a niche, hermano.

Also: Juventus is not on its way to becoming pre-Abromovich Chelsea, of the Champions League, or otherwise. Nothing suggests that is the case.

That, good Sir, was not a retraction. Turrible.

I believe we should start a campaign to have the Elkann family actually inject some money into this club. The hashtag will be #TransfersNotTrannies

Man Utd to bid 70M GBP for A.Sandro (and are willing to double his wages) - Well if A.Sandro is greedy for money and not trophies I guess we will see him there next season..
Hope we keep him as he truly is special

If its true hes gone and we will replace him with an inferior player.

We will also lose Dybala either this season or next and will have no world class players left.

But dont worry I'm sure Man Utd will sweeten the deal with Darmien.

Until he extends his contract you can never be sure but 70 million pound is very good offer

Well, that's a tempting offer, would allow us to purchase Bellerin/Hysaj and we would still have money for a new LB. The problem is the only capable LB I can think of are Marcelo, F. Luis, Mendy and Kurzawa. All unattainable.

So how about we don't sell? No one is listening to me but for the last 3 years we have been losing world class players and not replacing them with players of a similar standard. If we sell Alex Sandro and get an average LB and Bellerin we are a joke.

Why are we selling our few world class players when we cannot buy world class players? Are we content to be a feeder club, to go the way of Ajax?

In and ideal world I would also just splash cash on Bellerin/Hysaj and SMS. Unfortunately, we don't live in one. Also, I don't agree we're not replacing the leaving players appropriately. When we sold Pogba we got Pjanic and Higuain in return.

Why do you think agnelli's are not investing money in juventus
Money is being invested (didnt we just spend 120 mil on berna, costa and matuidi?)

1) the club has only recently returned to profit after calciopoli, we sustained heavy losses in the secco era

2) money is being invested in salaries which have grown dramatically

3) money is being invested to build a sustainable business , j medical, j village, j academies etc

We dont have the luxury of spending big without evening the books a little. Sandro and dybala are stars and must be retained but if we are going to spend big we will sell at least one. Left backs of his quality are hard to find.

I like both A.Sandro and Dybala but to be honest - replacing them should be easier than to replace Pogba and Vidal...
A.Sandro is probably the 2nd best LB in the world but Spinazzola can do a good job IMO - The thing is I rather see Spinazzola as RB and A.Sandro as LB as it would make us stronger...
Dybala - To say the truth I cant say he is best suited to our style and we can get someone else to do what he currently does - The thing is his potential which is far higher than any other player...
Current Dybala is worth 160M
Potential Dybala is worth at least double...

Anyway lets hope we improve our team without selling our best players...
