Sorry but I’m not seeing 60m worth of a player out there. Sure the team looked is slightly better with him out but 60m player should be giving juve a significant boost not just slightly better.
Look at these cheaper examples who made juve significantly better when they were on pitch vs when they were not:
Matuidi 20m
Pjanic 32 million
Khedira free
Pogba free
In their own way you could see the impact those players had since day one when they joined. I can’t say the same thing for Koop and he doesn’t have excuse of playing new country.

Well he isnt doing things terribly wrong but he is a bit rusty. He should be ok as we continue. Unfortunately I cant say the same about Vlahovic who isnt hitting for.. Is it 3 seasons now?
Easy to only think that because of his wages and that he is missing “easy” chances but if you look past that you see he is only one in team that is delivering so far in this dysfunctional team:
14 matches 8 goals and 1 assist. He is averaging more than a goal or assist per match which is to be expected because he is main striker of team. Problem is that no one else is stepping up when he misses . He needs better support from others. All other strikers like halaand or Kane have wingers and midfielders to contribute even when they don’t. Here at juve it’s expected only vlahovic score while others defend and it’s not realistic . Even Kane would struggle in this system
