So we'll being making Milan stronger by selling them Caldara and Higuain while also taking their error prone embarrassment of a Captain off their hands. :howler:

At the time if you told that we would be paying 90m to sign Higuain who will play alongside Bonucci but only to sell him 2 years later for 20m so we could resign Bonucci i would of called you crazy :andy2:
Nah, we'll be stronger by getting a WC CB while also selling them a talented yet unproven CB and our choking embarrassment of a striker.

Btw, I was also not impressed by Higuain here. I expected a lot more and I thought signing him for that amount was crazy. I wouldn't mind selling him for the right offer.

But he's not a choking embarrasment of a striker. This season he was our 2nd most effective player with 30 goals+assists. Last season he was our most effective player with 36 goals+assists.

That's not choking embarrasment of a striker. That's a striker who's guaranteed to score shitload of goals. And if he signs for Milan, then hell, Milan are getting a fine striker after so many years. If anything, it's a shit move we're selling him to a Serie A club.

Higuain as a striker >>>>>> Bonucci as a defender.

You trying to make it sound like we are winning in this deal is puke worthy.
Not even close. Bonucci has proven himself as one our best players and leaders since Max came. He was absolutely world class in 99% of games in Europe. Higuain as we all know is laughable outside of Serie A.

This deal is equal because Milan will get a potentially WC CB in Caldara. If he wasn't included or if we manage to get a buyback option Bonucci-Higuain swap is us blowing them out of this world.

Juve didn't buy him for Serie A where majority of his goals came. In two years he scored important goals in CL vs Tottenham, Monaco and Sporting. :lol:

We would've had same or better results and a much more well rounded team if we spent that money then on Diego Costa/Džeko and Kante.

A choking embarrasment of a striker would never have such numbers. Such player would have never raped in Madrid and Napoli.

for the record, I don't mind Bonucci back, never had a problem with him. I don't even care he celebrated his goal at the Stadium, BFD! I just don't want us to send off Caldara in the deal.... that is all

Choking embarrassment is my pet name for him. He was like that only in CL, and two Coppa finals for us (that miss vs Milan :lol:) and for Argentina in 3 big finals.

He also fucked up for RM vs Lyon (open goal and then Pjanić KOed them out later) and for Napoli vs Dortmund (bunch of sitters) when they were knocked out in GS. That's just off the top of my head.

Bonucci never makes any mistakes.

He doesn't pass straight to opponent players, doesn't deflect the ball and has a great swepping leg tackle that no striker can get past it.

From top of your head? Now try to use the same head and think of how many fuck ups Bonucci had ever since we bought him, especially in the first three seasons here. I think it'd be impossible to even find and write down that number.

I would rather just give them Caldara and not take back Bonucci. I think he's a negative. He will be the first name on the team sheet every match and he will get skinned in every big game unless we have 80% possession.

Ofc he does. Every striker misses sitters too. But Bonucci had many, many more games and moments where he was amazing in his role than Higuain had.
