@Strickland I don't disagree but this Juventus is very different to 2 years back. Our level has dropped so much that we are already out of the Serie A title race, getting a CL spot isn't a given, getting to the KO of CL will be a miracle, and even in the EL we wouldn't be favourites.
In order to get back to our previous level, we need to be in the CL every year so if we go for a couple of reliable expensive players then I'm for it. The reason I say Kovacic is because he's creative and so is Ziyech, as examples. I wanted Raspadori because you could see that he's dynamic. With players like them who regularly assist and score, you've got a much better chance of getting the best out of Vlahovic and others.
Pogba and Di Maria are not it given that neither plays yet Dybala did give us creativity but somehow, we're spending more on both their wages while Dybala has played more minutes than both so far. Those two came here as showpiece signings, neither coming off good seasons and either on the treatment table or riding the bench. We tried to show that we can flex our muscles financially but we again neglected every other position.
I do rate Jorginho but with our static players and rigid system, the guy will be passing sideways like Arthur. I do rate Paredes but he came for keeping possession in our own half which is Allegri's fetish. I know Ronaldo and Dybala were expensive to retain but they're keeping us in 4th spot in Serie A and giving us a chance to get to CL KO rounds.
Right now we should just buy creative players so when this Iguanodon finally becomes extinct, the next manager has something to work with.
