Gerd, a salary also comes out of a club's pockets. It's a very long discussion that me and a lot of others have had in the other thread. Trezeguet was being paid by us while he was at Hercules. Youre right, you need players. But youre mistaken in believing that having a lot of players guarantees success. You need quality players. Something Marrotta doesnt understand. Working for small clubs all his life, he looks for bargains, not quality talent. Also, it is wrong to discuss Galluani' policies vis a vis Marrotta. They are not in the same league. Galliani will rid you off the Boriellos of the world while Marrotta will chase them till his eyes are aligned.
yes salary comes out of culb pocets but this type of deals are made to use as less money as posible
you don't pay the player to the team so you give the player a higher wage and gain something
the player stays until the contract is finished and he gains a plus in his salary too the only one who loses in this contest is the previous team of the player we signed
let's asume that you want to sign nani and normally he would take a salary of 4 milion if you get him at 0 you give him a salary of 7 milion it is easy this also is from company pockets
you actually save money this way in the long run
for example
nani
cost = 30 milion
salarty = 4 milion
contract = 5 years
total = 5*4 + 30 = 50 milion
nani
cost = 0
salary = 7
contract = 5 years
total = 7*5 + 0 = 35 milion
in the long run you save money
as for trezeguet we didn't pay his salary we gave him the buonuscita
that means we gave him a part of his salary to resolve his contract with us and he could sign with every team he wanted
but i guess it was better having him in the tribuna without playing a minute till the end of the season and pay him his full wage
a good dg would have surely done this
and i don't say that a lot of players guarantess succes
i always said marotta has built a base
now in summer he needs to prove that he is juve material by adding those 2-3 signigs of great quality to finish the squad
but if you have no players at all it is better to add quantity than only one good player that cost like an entire squad
in total you can archive better results constructing a team from nothing who can actually archive 3 place without 1 player of absolute quality
than add only one player of very good quality when the rest of the team are at pension age or total flops
i am not saying that i don't like champions who doesn't like them but in this situation it was better
unless that one player is the new maradona that is
if you can find someone like maradona than i would gladly give a kick in the ass to marotta and all his new signings to get you as dg
