Selling Chiellini and coming back with Drenthe is awful no matter how you look at it.
And Chiellini is at the very least 5 times better than any defender which has been linked to us anyway, or any defender you're mentioning there. You can talk about going out and bringing in a team, like we did with Zidane years back, but when we sold Zizou it was for record money. 30m for the worlds best CB? Hell no.
Don't you think that if we have 70m we can afford to keep Chiello and build around him because he's just so damn good?

First selling Chiellini and coming back with Drenthe is awful indeed, if the briefcase you are carrying on the way back from Madrid is not big enough. Then Chiello is a beast, but he is certainly not 5 times those defenders and as defending is more of a team work, than attack for instance - better balance yield better results. By the same reason this season most of the mentioned players had better results of their work.
Third - 30 mils reasons for yes not enough? All right! Given the market status and the only true value of Real Madrid /being rich and showing it/ - it is quite a chance, really. 40 mils for Chiellini - well, they can afford his 5 mils-or-more salary, they have huge ad markets for him as well - and for us it will be the difference of - Benzema + Aguero + Wingers and the said defenders or Amauri/Salihamidzic in the starting line...
So it is quite an option.
For instance - Benzema + Drenthe for Chiellini?
