As I've said before and Alen did somewhat yesterday, when you are a 10th-5th club with less money those are generally the only players you can afford. How long have Napoli and Palermo taken to reach
possible CL-qualifying standard? No way in hell would Juve fans wait that long, with no guarantee that these players are going to turn out like Pastore or Hamsik, this forum is all over the place after 2 losses. Will we become like Palermo, a feeder club for richer teams?
2007-08 Palermo (Cavani, Balzaretti + mediocre) - 11th
2008-09 Palermo (Kjaer + mediocre) - 8th
2009-10 Palermo (Pastore, Sirigu + mediocre) - 5th
2007-08 Napoli (Hamsik, Gargano, Lavezzi + mediocre) - 8th
2008-09 Napoli (majority flops inc. Denis & Datolo) - 12th
2009-10 Napoli (a lot of big spending inc. Quagliarella, Cigarini, Zuniga) - 6th
We would need to still sign more proven, expensive players. Then it becomes an issue to find space for the cheaper, inexperienced players to play.
