I disagree that Xabi is not worth 17m pounds. Again about Cigarini, sure he is a promising player and could develop into a great player, but what we need right now is IMMEDIATE quality, not some young player who could turn out to be world class later in his playing career, or not. If we want young players to develop them into world class players, then we should have a look at our Primavera, or just get back Claudio Marchisio.
Cahill is good and does the job, yes, I agree. But we don't need someone who can just do the job, we need an already proven player in the big stage, not someone who can just do the job. Nocerino can do the job too, but he's far from being someone who can step up and win the game for Juve, not even in Coppa Italia he could do that, let alone Serie A and more importantly, Champions League.
My point is that we need already proven players at the biggest stages, not some decent players who can 'do the job' and promising youngsters who can become the next Kaka, next Pirlo or next <insert a player's name here>.
