That's exactly what we mustn't do. Waste more funds on meaningless acquisitions.
I'm not saying go out and splash 50 Million on Cavani, Higuain, or Van Persie, but if the difference is somewhere between 5-8 Million, then we must be willing to make some sacrifices and compromises for the greater good of the team.
Regarding Chelsea, I was referring to Drogba. He may be old, but the way he carried them through when they needed him most, shows that he is a class player. Do you see Matri or Quag doing the same for us? I highly doubt it.
We may or may not challenge for the CL this year, next year, or even the year after. However, that isn't for you or me to decide; it's down to the management, and I do recall them saying we are in it to win it, otherwise there'd be no point in competing. The onus is on them to deliver, and that's why a top class CF is essential. We can't keep delaying $#@! every year. We said the same thing last year, and we had legitimate excuses; this time around, we barely have any, if not none at all.
Juventus have always had quality strikers/forwards; our history and tradition demands it. Either we get JoJo/Suarez (even though they are not supreme goal scorers, they are high quality and versatile) this year, and Higuain/Cavani the next (or vice-versa), or this mercato will be deemed a failure by me, as we simply failed to address our most pressing issue, the need for a proven goal scorer.
