European Transfers & Rumours Topic

I see a lot of people saying that this will be bad business for them. Say what you want about them as a club but seemingly their management know how to make or at very least not lose money. I doubt they would do anything they cannot afford

 

[El Matador]

What I find funny is how almost eveyone started complaining about us signing a World class and serie a proven midfielder for 35 Million euros because he is 30 years old. Then when Juve sign a 33 YEAR OLD player for over 100 million, and a contract worth over 30 Million a year (funny how that’s the same price of the midfielder) it’s a master stroke, brilliant buy and not a risk. Man thats bullshit.

I don’t want to hear responses about where Crisiano is on the football ladder compared to nainggolan I already know they arent in the same league in terms of footballing level. I dont want to hear about the revenue Ronaldo generates either. All that is bullshit when we compare the financial terms of the deals.

Not the firet time it happens either. Most signings we make are risky, stupid but when others make them it’s a master stroke. Like the Malcom or Lautaro rumors. Most comments are “Another Gabigol” “Potential Flop” “Not Serie A Proven”. If it was Milan or Roma y’all would panic and commend them on the buys. BS

How can you berate a team for buying arguably the world's best player? Nainggolan is a risk because he's a player who relies on his physical attributes and he isn't a next level athlete like Ronaldo is. I think people expect a steep drop off (candreva style) with Nainggolan at some point. The question is whether we get a few good seasons out of him first. The likeliness of Ronaldo not still being one of the very best in the world next season, or even the season after is quite unlikely given his physical gifts.

And personally I like the Malcom and Lautaro rumour/signing. I haven't watched them much but I like how they look in the clips I've seen.

 

[PHM1605]

They can sign SMS in 2019 when Ronaldo has won a Player of the year and tripletta for Juve with a shitloads of money along with that.

At least it is not now, and there is one-more-year chance that another club will get him before Rube.

 

[Serie A]

Yeah, we're probably gaining more fans than they are

More Messi fans to Inter, more Icardi haters to Inter

You confuse us with Napoli/Roma but we'll get there in a few years if we continue the smart work

[Odissey]

milan doing some decent business.

Signing Strinic, Reina and Halilovic on a free. Don't know how Halilovic is doing now, but I remember not too long ago he was one of the most overhyped youths.

Same as Krkic and Janusaj. Weak move imho

How can people not see that signing a player who is 33 will cost them 70/90 mio per season is a huge fucking risk.
I mean higuain cost them around 38 mio per season and i m pretty sure with that he already was the most expensive player in serie a!
Not saying this is a bad deal because its not but it is a very risky one and if you ask me also way riskier than nainggolan.
Lets also not forget that even though he had a huge season once again, his first half of the season many claimed he already slowed down after only scoring 4 goals and having two assists in a liga till January.

Like i said before Jube might make the money they spend on him in the first year or if they win the CL with him. But ronaldo is not gonna bring them an additional 70/90 mio per season till he s 37 unless they win CL.

So yeah i dont understand how people can simply claim this is a great deal and it will pay for itself. This is a spectacular deal that might take jube to the next Level but it s also a deal with huge financial risks involved.

Edit i mean accordig to forbes jube has a revenue of 442m USD and you guys want to tell me them splashing 1/5 of that on one player for the next 4 seasons is not a huge risk? And yes i know their revenue is gonna increase with CR& but i doubt it will increase almost 100 mio per season.

 

[Fapuccino]

Higuain is definitely gone (will cover 40-60 mill of transfer fee), but it seems like Dybala might go too to cover the transfer fee.

Eeeeehhhhh, I don't know if that's a smart move. But then again, it is Rube.

 

[varmin]

If they fail to win CL with CR7, it'll be waste of money.

I think the financial risk is largely down to how it's financed. If new sponsors and Exor end up paying most of his salary then I don't see how they're taking such a huge risk.

 

[Serie A]

Let's not forget apart from being the best player on the planet he's also the more marketable athlete on the planet, in two years Juve will make more than they spend on him for four years, not to mention all the top players they will attract in the future and it becomes routine. Talking about financial side is the least of worries Juve has, in fact it's an advantage.

Yes ofcourse if somebody else pays the financial risk is low but over the years i ve read many of these stories of a sponsor taking over part of salary/Transfer costs but how often does it actually happen?

Anyways i rest my case if they dont win CL in these four years with him this is a bad deal. And since even CR7 cant guarantee you that imho it s a very risky deal.

They're saying Ronaldo might fly in on Saturday in Turin to finalize everything.

 

[Jnr]

All the workers in Juve stadium are called in on saturday morning. Marotta will arrive with Ronaldo and they will head there. 7/7/7 what a marketing move from Juve. Its gonna be huge presentation , never seen before in Italy imo.

 

[Glass box]

So is Ronaldo officially a rubentino now?

Announcer: Here he is ladies and gentlemen, the myth, the legend, GABIIIIIIIIII....

Gabigol: Actually, I don't really like that nickname. I prefer to be called just Gabriel.

Announcer: GOLLLLLLLLLL!

I think signing Ronaldo has been the best business ever for Real Madrid and in World football, there's no doubt. Signed for 94M, after 9 years, countless trophies, tripletta of UCLs and unlimited No of shirt sales, sold for 100M. His numbers are simply out of this world. Just check his transfermarkt page of stats and personal honours..

We have upgraded to a new level, Juve got Ronaldo, Can, Cancelo..Derby d'Italia WILL bring record viewers ever seen in Italy!

I've missed so much. Cancelo became a rubentino too.

If they sign Ronaldo, then we sign Messi blivious:
