didn't knew that but my point stands...16 mils is a lot, we have marchisio and melo, we need a good cm but not for that amount of money.

yes but even when he is abscent, he still contributes to the game defensively, while beeing important in the build up. he never has sissoko games in therms of passing or positioning or balls lost.
marchisio in the middle is a definate loss of talent. he does fine on the side.
in my opinion we should take aqua quag and pepe, buy a striker worth the name in the summer and a decent back.
next summer, we could see if we can manage to land a good winger.

I don't think anyone really questioning Aquilani's talent. He is talented we all know that by now already. But given he's previous history in injuries and inconsistency, is it worth it that we spend 16 millions on him ?
Some would say yes but personally i don't think its worth the risk. IMO there are other options out there who would cost us the same (or perhaps a little more) and they're just as talented and safer purchases.

I don't think there are many out there who are on the same level with Aquilani. Juve is having a midfield that feeds the offensive players, since a long long time. Didn't happen under Ranieri/last year. Saying this is our best midfield since 2006 would be an understatement.
Besides 16M for Aquilani is too much? Poulsen or Tiago's 10M price tags weren't the definition of good business either, yet we sold/loaned both of them, made a 5M bucks from that and weren't happy with their performences.

Irrelevant, as almost all transfers are handled this way, and for a club on a budget like Juventus, spreading transfers across many seasons doesn't magically increase how much money we have available for each mercato.
For example, let's pretend Juventus bought 3 players for 20m each. Instead of paying the 60m upfront and producing a huge loss on their balance sheet for that year (which for Juve is more of an issue because we are publicly traded), they spread that 60m over a few years, so each player will cost them say, 5m a season over the next 4 years. That is 15m a season in transfer fees the club is obliged to pay for the next 4 years.
A lot of people on this forum take the above example to mean we only spent 15m and therefore we can afford to spend more, as Juve on average spend more than that every season. You have to take into consideration the same tactic was used in previous seasons and therefore the club is still responsible for those costs.

apart from the fact aqua is better with vision, tactics, long passes and shots, he's frensh and relatively unexpirienced, so would need to adapt to serie a while aqua is a finished product.
also, he is not going under 20 mil, and definatly not at that wage
oh and you said there were plenty and only mentionned one, mention a couple more please, or watch italian football

Aqua has been struggling with injury, given that fact I think he hasn't reached his peak form but it is obvious he offers a lot in midfield and is vital to this team (refer to Europa League.) To me his only problem is his inability to play fully for 90 mins without running out of gas.
As for inconsistency, really, one could argue the same with Quagsy, especially recently.
