Why would Allegri care about salary? wtf


Did they mean to write Agnelli surely?
nah, that's some actual news in italian media: allegri is picking players, he's doing everything mercato. he refused to sign donnarumma, he wanted to stick with mds, rugani, berna and tek. those guys were on the market until allegri came back. (no news on whether there were any actual offers for them, but i bet we'll learn some insights later. can't wait.) ah, and he also picked dybala over cr. i wonder when is his next meeting with dybala's agents

LOL its silly what they waste their time on. Why would a manager care about players wages, only if they good enough or not.

Why wouldn't he care about it? He's not a total idiot, he knows that they have a limited budget.

The link says the club agreed with Donnarumma, so means theyc could afford it, but that Allegri had second thoughts and said no due to wages? He is a manager, is primary focus should be wether or not the player is good enough, nothing else.

Yes, that is what the link says. This continues to be reported by multiple outlets so we can choose whether to believe it or not.

it's not his job, why is it too fucking hard to understand.

anyway, you're not the only one:


@JCK i went to twitter, and this was the first post as a suggestion :rofl:
So you want Allegri to just request the club go after Neymar, Van Dijk, Mbappe, De Bruyne, Messi, et cetera because it's not his job to understand the club has a limited budget. Yeah, ok...

It's entirely possible Allegri was told x is the budget we're dealing with, you can have either these or that.

But this Sport Eyetalia Marotta role, at least the way written in tweet, doesn't sound right, and SI/Pedulla aren't reliable.

Most/all reliable sources said Mad Max had a big say on Donnarumma and Tek though.

A case where a manager might care about salary would be signing player A means they can’t sign player B or improve a certain position. They may not care about the actual numbers but they should have an idea of the implications of their signings in relation to effect on overall project.

Yeah this part I get, but as its explained, it doesnt seem to be a case like that. Because only thing we done in window is free loans for Locatelli and Kean, cheap as fuck Kaio Jorge, and all of them on cheaper wages.

Perhaps signing Donnaramma would have excluded signing Locatelli? Or a future move planned for next summer?

If it would effected Locatelli, it would been easy no for Donna, but according to "report", the club agreed with Donna to come, only Allegri said no due to wage (wtf), which means that sounds like it doesnt effect the Locatelli they been trying to sign all year.

Honestly we are broke so invest out limited budget in the place our level is so mediocre that Average is a huge improvement for them it was the only thing that make sense.

Noone was expecting Woj go full Van der Sar... last season he was mediocre at times, no 24/7 as it happens now

that's how english clubs operate. italian managers rather function like pure coaches. it has been said multiple times by juve coaches that the club handles the mercato. of course the coach can have requests (part of the folklore of the last couple of years: sarri requested jorginho and allegri wanted isco for years), and allegri was spotted having a lunch with cherubini even before his appointment, but at the end of the day, it's the directors (marotta, paratici, now cherubini) who have the final word.

on an other note: what potential implications donnarumma's arrival could have had? szczesny was always going to stay, locatelli (the only expensive signing with his 2 years of free loan lol) was always going to come. if donnarumma was feasible, an investment that would have drawn a large cash outflow for both the player (as wages) and his agent, why didn't we get anybody else?

right after ronaldo left, italian media started to write that allegri wasn't happy with the mercato, he allegedly even told the club that weakening the squad wasn't part of their deal. now the same media writes that allegri, for the first time in the unibrow era, micromanaged juve's mercato as a coach. that's some confusion by the media, isn't it.
