I find it hard to believe how Hamburg, Werder, and OM could get those players, and yet we can't. The majority of teams that we are competiting against in Calcio Mercato already have great group of players so any addition they do will be marginal. In contrast, the players at our disposal do not match your reputation, so Juve naturally have more capacity to invest for those players mentioned than the most. In another words, Juve could match dollar for dollar for those players with any team, bar Chelski & Real IMO, who operate on a different financial world. Not playing CL hurts our chances, but I think with clever mercato strategy we can add some quality signings over the summer. I am not sure whether VDV is on our radar, but I think we would be realistic quality signing. We can probably live off one more year with Nedved, so buying somebody with relatively high pay-off, but a lot of risk like VDV fits in the perfectly IMO.
We alredy have a lot of good established old players in key position. So our strategy should focus on bargain buys, meaning we should target players with something to prove, and on their day be world-class, than spending reckless money for players who are doing well. In that way, we can also see whether DD is good enough coach to be entrusted with for many years.
