Nani for me is surprisingly going unnoticed by most of the money clubs, although I'm sure he'll find buyers in Anzhi, Zenit etc as soon as the mercato opens, which may complicate our wage offering to him and scupper the deal in the process. That's my biggest worry as far as he's concerned, otherwise, he's well within our parameters, surprisingly. I don't consider him to be a WC player, but he's definitely a quality upgrade who could help us step things up, when used correctly.
Ibra for me, is the easiest of the other deals (in terms of agent, player acceptance etc) and the most realistic. I don't deny him to be a short term signing, quite like Pirlo. But he offers e kind of guarantees few other players in the world can offer us at the moment. With this signing, we'd probably buy ourselves at least 3 years to scout/groom/build capital to invest in a worthy successor because with a player like Ibra, we would supplement income on the pitch with better results in the CL and merchandise sales. It's a bit of a vicious cycle, and one that might be a win-win in this case.
Higuain, while I like him, I don't think he would be the best way to invest right now, with Llorente's acquisition. Who, I personally think isn't going to hit the ground running either, so he's a bit of a question mark anyway. But I hope we can optimize our resources and this wouldn't be it.
Sanchez, good player. Good investment. But not a game changer, although fairly realistic keeping in mind his salary requirements, time in Italy and Barca's own rejigging of their front line. He would be available for a decemt price too. And for me, he would make a better complement to Llorente than perhaps Higuain.
Jojo ias much as people rate him here, I think he isn't growing as quickly as most tend to project. Talented player but still some way to go before he can be considered good enough to be a game changing player at a big club like Juve. Unless he's coming with another stellar signing, I don't think he could take us up in quality, alone. Add to that his price tag, which in my estimate, he isn't worth.
Diamanti is a classic Marrotta/Conte hard working player, depth move. I think he's an ok player but that 6m plus a youngster can wait till the end of the mercato.
Suarez/Ibra are the only true star signings we have been linked with and I sincerely hope we can bring one of them on board.
Lulic is a wise move but not for the rumored 15m. Kolarov could be acquired for less than that. Again, it's very hard to say how we are planning to approach next year. I'd like the 433 which would make players like Nani and Sanchez paramount, alongside Ibra.
