1. Beppe already did strenghten us with Llorente
- If Llorente was signed for his release clause last summer, 37m, the objective of Beppe signing a 'top player' would already be reached in the eyes of some here. So don't give me that BS, just because he's a bosman doesn't suddenly remove the fact that he is a huge upgrade.
2. If it comes down to no further signings in attack for this summer, we'll have to see what the reasons were. I'd rather not sign anyone than to pay 35m for Higuain, 30m for Jovetic or sign Tevez on a 4 year deal with 7m/year wages after taxes. This is highly implausible, as I'm convinced we're signing Jovetic on favorable terms - but I would definitely rather not sign anyone than to throw too much money at players who just are not worth it.

1. So you consider Llorente to be a top player? Not that I advocate the 'he's shit just coz he's free' argument, but if you think an out of form player who has had almost no continuity last season, will adapt to a new league, team and formation on the back of that season and contribute to this team in game changing ways, then sorry to say there is a possibility that you are mistaken. I'm not the one talking BS here. Please stand corrected.
2. If there are no further signings in attack this season, you won't need to see what the reasons are this season, because you will have two seasons before this to understand the reasons of our failure. I don't think Juve should sell or buy for the sake of it. But when the DS and team management identify players of a certain calibre publicly, then they are obligated to the fans and the team to chase after and try and close those players within reason. To walk away because we don't enter bidding wars cannot and should not be an excuse. And if you're going to say we didn't have the money, don't make me come there and lay the smack down on you because we have no business chasing a 30m euro Jovetic, a 35m Higuain and 7m a year Tevez. And quite frankly, of these are our targets, then Beppe can have absolutely no excuse for not signing Tevez on the numbers being bandied about, if they are true. There is NO excuse whatsoever.
*I personally do think however that the great man will deliver. And it would be interesting to see you disagree with him for signing any one of those players at the numbers you mentioned.
