Forgot to say who it was lol.... Taison...
Thats what I mean we should be getting this players early...We should be only aqcuiring two types of players: WC (altough obviously rarely); and prospects of WC. And then stick to primavera or market opportunities... I am from Portugal (support Sporting Lisbon), and this is the strategy of F.c Porto (without the WC part lol), which in my opinion, and not far from factually too, has been one if not the most profitable clubs in terms of sales. This guys get prospects for around 9 mil and sell the next season for 40, time and time again, Benfica is following the same startegy now, just look: David Luiz (around 30), Coentrao (20 something), Witsel (40), Hulk (55), Falcao (40), Javi Garcia (20), Ramires (20 something) and its a matter of time until Moutinho, Alex Sandro, Danilo, James follow the same path. All of this in the space of two years!! Now I know what you are going to say, "but juve is not a selling club", off course we are not, so lets buy and groom our on Cavanis and Falcaos instead of having to buy them years later for 40 mil. Moral of the story: Dont be a affraid to splash 4 to 9 mil on prospects and more important than that look beyond the Seria A cause it feels like we are just considering the domestic market with the excuse "oh south american wont adapt" i prefer to take that risk than having me a Quagliarella which i know for certain wont exceed a certain level.
