[Badass J Elkann]

@Badass J Elkann called it.

Two of his predictions were: 12. Vlahovic will block alot of our movement till the very end at best ; 15. Dusan will stay

The other gurus predicted that he'll be sold

A little off note, one of my Juve friends, lives in Rome is cousins with Fabio Pecchia, he asked if I wanted to be in a video call with him and Fabio when he pops over next week... I wasn't sure what to say... I mean yes he was a Juventus player but he was a bench player at best, and to be honest his work with the next gen side was just ok. Sad to say he's from Napoli so how am I supposed to talk to him without wanting to insult his city?

Now that Vlahovic is 99% staying paying 60M for Kolo its just plain stupid...

Di Natale
16M for Savona, and 10% on future sale.

Now flip that for Zhegrova

Damien Comolli: “We have Financial Fair Play restrictions for the next THREE years, so we have to be very careful about what we do. Whether it's Kolo Muani or other transfers, if there's any news, we'll let you know.”

So no CM then...I guess Zhegrova and KM will do...

God please protect Bremer, Thuram and Kenan. If one of them gets injured, we are doomed.

I knew FFP was the reason of all these sales.

 

[JuveJay]

Essentially we're jettisoning Next Gen players just to stay afloat financially.

Kenan for 100m one day, club must be rubbing their hands together.

that's the sad reality

the compounding mercatos from the paratici era onwards just exasperated that

I mean, at some point, if we could just make intelligent purchases, our crazy wage bill and insane transfer debt would fall off and we'd be in a much better financial position where cashing in on our youth wouldn't be needed.

But instead we go out and get Nico Gonzalez after one good year, paying a premium to a direct competitor who does us no favors, instead of going to France or Germany or the Netherlands or ANYWHERE else to get a young player who could break out. This is the problem.

Instead we go out and give a direct rival +70m for Koopmeiners instead of INVESTING that into a younger, less known name from Germany or France or Serbia or legitimately ANYWHERE else.

We improve our financial situation, with one of the best marketing and stadium revenue in the entire league, and we blow it on pet projects of managers who haven't earned the right to get what they want. Motta didn't earn the right to be given a 70m Koopmeiners. We should've been smarter.

Lots of other clubs are smarter than this.

More like we had a disaster mercato last year. All our big signings flopped. We struggled to move them on and we are forced to sell other players in the process. (And we aren't doing that very well of course)

It’s shocking Savona brought in more money than Mbangula.

why? Savona played significantly more than him.

If Zhegrova and Kolo comes we will have nice depth.

Agree with what you're saying. Just want to correct that Koop wasn't 70m+

Listen, it sounds better when I say he was 70m!

Only Simeone wanted him, Atletico Madrid were never serious.

Actually what's worse if how much lower we sold them both for, easily in todays market could have got 40 mill for the pair, minimum.
