Nope. But I believe we would do pretty with Benz as our CF (Dzeko would be better, but I wouldn't complain too much).

I can't figure it out how will the loan deals count. If JuveJay's opinion is correct, we bought all these players and made it look like they are loans.
In that case in the summer of 2010 we bought players for 99m euro (Quagliarella 15m, Aquillani 16m, Pepe 10.1m, Rinaudo 5.6m, Motta 5m, Krasic 15, Martinez 12, Bonucci 15.5, Storari 4.5)
If the loaned players count for next summer then next summer we need to pay 43m eur which are the remaining money to buy out the loaned guys.
Does this mean that we already start the mercato with -43m eur?

Right. First you said Iaquinta > Benzema. When i laughed at that you said Iaquinta = Benzema. Then you say Iaquinta isn't good. Then you say Benzema is good.
Make up your mind already!
I never ever said Benzema is as good as Dzeko. I said i would take Benzema over Dzeko anyday. Reason being is that ive seen way more of Benzema than Dzeko. Ive watched him during his Lyon days when he just broke into the starting line up. Ive seen him go up against defenders like Vidic & seen him turn them inside out. I haven't seen enough of Dzeko to make a non biased assessment of the players.
Most of you are going all nuts for Dzeko because he's scoring like mad & the media put it in your face. I bet half of the Dzeko fanboys here haven't even seen him play.
You really wanna compare the Benzema scenario to Quaresma? Really?
Pazzini better than Benzema?
This doesn't even require an answer because deep down inside you know its absolute rubbish.

and Iaq=Benz was just to make a poing for you to understand but since your understanding is so special...
Iaq was a decent sub untill this season which now is playing like crap
as for Benz I never said he is poor I said he is medicore and he is a bit better than medicore he is good but not great
My mind is set its your understanding that isnt
as for Pazzini better than Benz on current form yes put both on top form and Benz is better
And since I`m tired of explaining things to kids I`ll post this as my last message on this issue
Ok... I'll bite.
You're calling Benz flop while saying Adebayor is not, double standars much?
May i ask you, have you seen Adebayor play? I mean for entire matches during several periods of time? or just EPL highlights?
One season? Really? one season where he did good for Arsenal, when in Arsenal he needed atleast 5 clear chances to score one, i would credit that season more to how the entire team played more than him, his finishing is one of the poorest aspects of his game.
Go ahead, ask Fred if you don't believe me.
And you're using double standars again, Benzema scored 26 and 25 goals and assisted 7 and 4 times in the two seasons he spent at Lyon, how is that not scoring as much as Adebayor?
City a struggling team?
, and mind you, there are several teams in the EPL who can't defend for shit.This season Benzema haven't done bad imo, he's mostly played out of position out wide, so obviously he's not as effective as he could. What you're not getting is that of those 24 appearences he only started 14 for RM and the rest were cameos as a sub.
Multiple strikers who compete with Adebayor, really?
, get a grip. Barring Tevez, he's facing competition from the oh so great Santa Cruz, the new Pelé Jo who strike fear into the souls of defenders everytime they're in the pitch.Benzema may only compete with one striker for one position, but that other striker is a damn good striker who's been scoring 20+ goals for the last 2 seasons, i wouldn't bench him either.
How is he more suited for Seria A? is it because he's taller? because he's big? small/average sized striker have tormented serie A in the past already, and i'd much rather have Benzema in my team than Adebayor anyday.
I obviously know that. But previously we had a discussion with JuveJay and he thinks that there is a possibility that Juve actually bought these players but due to various reasons, we presented these purchases as loans+rights to buy.
JJ's logic was good in this case because for some of them we did pay lots of money for 1 year loans.
So hypothetically, in case what JuveJay suggested turns out to be true, it will mean that in the summer we bought players for 99m eur (which might be paid in installments over a 3-4 year period). Still, those players cost 99m eur.

I'm with you, but I'll give JJ some credit and I won't completely dismiss that theory of his 
I guess that half of them will be bought. If I didn't miss anyone, this is what we have:
- Aquilani (16m eur to be paid)
- Pepe 2.6 paid (7.5m eur to be paid)
- Quagliarella 4.5 paid (10.5 to be paid)
- Traore ?
- Motta 1.25 paid (3.75 to be paid)
- Rinaudo 0.6 paid (5m to be paid)
If we, lets say, decide to keep Aqua, Pepe, Quag and Motta, we will still need to pay 37.75m eur. That's quite a big minus we're starting with.
CL or not, I think that next summer we can again expect 1 or 2 loan deals. If we already have 35-40m eur ready to be paid for the above mentioned 4 players and we splash some 30m eur on Dzeko or someone, that already takes us to 65-70m eur, which is sort of a limit that I don't expect us to pass.
Then lets say we sell a couple of players for 10-15m and we buy a fullback, we will still need 1-2 players and I expect those to be loans again. Most probably for the fullback position we will loan someone.
