The figures don't matter so much, as they are not so big. 10mln, actually 8 mln are nothing on today's market. Many people used to complain why we paid money for Sommer and question his transfer, but he turned to be good, so everyone is silent right now.There's a huge difference between 33yo versus 35 and free versus 10m. Then bringing another same old fart, same position whom we had paid 7m to leave a year earlier. Retarded decision.
You remember it wrongly on Casadei too. Nobody complained on freaking 18m. Some cried on our poverty hence unable to reject such fee and that's it.
Btw judging a 21yo a failure right now..moving to a different culture, is only proving my point of impatience on youngsters.
My point is that we are always complaining about young vs old, but that is not always justified. Of course, it is very easy to point on some transfer, when it was already proven as a failure. But, the trick is to make a right assessment before that. Which was my general point in my previous comment.
And that also depends on the coach as well. Inzaghi likes to rely on more experienced players, and if the management can provide him that, I don't mind. At least, if we keep our promising talents in hand. For me, it is quite obvious that we cannot make a spot for all of Fabbian, Esposito, Oristanio, Carboni, Mulattieri, Pirola etc., because of that some of them need to be sold in order to bring some money.
And I didn't say that Casadei is a failure at 21, but you cannot compare the impact of Mkhitaryan right now vs Casadei. There is not even any guarantee that Casadei will reach Mkhitaryan's level in future.
