First of all, i like it that you call examples. most of the negative or unrealistic posters dont do that because they know they'll get shafted.
DI Maria, well thats simple. just go outside the box. He's on 3.5mil. Sure, our max is 4.5 mil. But we are juventus and thats real madrid.
What if he left ? The world knows he's fantastic. EPL teams, psg, perhaps monaco or bayern would show interest. They will not offer 3.5 mil. There will be competition and He'll go for a much higher wage. One that we cannot afford. Di Maria cannot be giver over 5m at juve and he'll get that elsewere AND a better organised/structured league. We'd be offering 10mil or so to get him. we cant.
Inter ? You say exactly, they manage to succeed in one transfer period, but was it really like that ? this is what i doubt.
Inter invested extremely much. sure they sold zlatan, but that got replaced by others that they simply couldnt afford, but did it anyways. they couldnt afford those wages, eto'o's wages. How on earth does a team make losses in a trebble year ? its beyond bad management, and it was simply, the transfer period.
Every morron can trow cash at players they cant recuperate or afford and sign him.
They reached the best they could. win the CL. Yet it still wasent enough revenue to survive the hit. They had to sell eto'o and still didnt had enough.They couldnt reinforce for years and still it wasent enough. they decided to keep the old guard and give em their massive wages.
Oh, i'm the first to say they should have let the old guard go and kept eto'o and sneijder btw.
Where are we ? We are trying to be self sustainable. Wages are so critical in italy. one missed CL could result in a huge loss. we dont want that so we are prudent. The moment when we run positive, and a missed CL can be recovered by simply spending less in the summer (or nothing) and still be break even, thats when we'll talk about higher wages.
you might now say "to hell with it, sign him at 7 mil wages.
See, Raiola isnt the only fat $#@! agent. You can bet ur house on that player agents immediatly will come to marotta, demanding rises in comparison to di maria and their squad status.
You disagree ? think about vidal, pogba. why do these negotiations take so long ? Simply marotta trying to keep their wage between reasonable lines. its so important.
then some fancy kid comes at double ur wage. YEAH, thats gonna work out well ;-)
Wage structure is very vital. Dont underestimate it
