Italian Serie A 2013/2014

[JJM]

OFFICIAL: TORO to EL not PARMA! okerface:
Cerci's miss didn't matter,now he is probably gonna stay there or is he?! BBilan want him I've readblivious:

 

[Howl]

Mans that's harsh on Parma.. I read that they needed to pay off all the outstanding wage bills of players that were out on loan or something, but on contract had agreed that they had till June 30th or something as deadline?

 

[Dylan]

Sucks for Cassano and co. Torino will have at least Immobile gone and more than likely Cerci gone as well.

 

[TheNetworkZ]

It would have definitely been better to have Parma participate.

 

[wera]

Bring Cassano back for another year :trollol:

[Shaun]

So 38m with Juve's half?

 

[ElDuccio]

Only one goal needed Milan to pass Torino. Very unlucky but.... MILAN MERDA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Jnr]

So 38m with Juve's half?

Juve & Toro both own 50% so they split 19,5M.

That's honestly a great deal for a 24 year old who was just the top scorer in Serie A, man this league sells on the cheap! We are seriously going to become the Dutch league if we keep fucking around. Could you imagine what his price would be if he played in the EPL or Spain?

 

[.h.]

he also only has one cap for italy... I dont see it being that different from Benteke, Michu, Bony, etc, being worth £15m.

They could have gotten more but Immobile wanted the move to Dortmund. And come on man, this is his only top flight season he's played well. It's not like he's an established striker, there's always a risk. Sturridge had 22 goals too, no one is going to pay 40-50 mill for him except some Russians.

The sad part was that no Italian made a move for him.

None of them were leading scorer in a top league. Yes Serie A is still a top league. For me it's EPL, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, than a tremendous drop off in general quality.

True there is a risk, but the point is that Sturridge with 22 goals would go for more than 19 mil now that is for sure. He isn't going anywhere for less than 30 if he's sold today, IMO.

You don't know that for sure though. I think the saddest part is Juve not trying to keep him.

 

[Pharaoh]

I dunno. One could use that argument and ask why it isnt prevalent in La Liga, for example, or the premiership.. Youngsters are generally signed by top clubs who look to play them immediately in England or Spain as far as I'm aware, I cant think of MANY cases where they sign people aged 18-21 who then spend a lot of time developing on loan?

What? Really you don't see it in La Liga? It seems to me that Real sells players with buyback clauses all the time! Morata is a good example of this right now. They probably won't sell him unless there is some sort of buyback clause in that contract.

They won't be developed on loan, but instead they'll join their academy, and when they show enough promise to play in La Liga, they can always sell them to a lower team with a buyback clause incase he does develop into a boss.

Because who the fuck in Serie A wants to work with Juve. Juve would've screwed anybody in Italy that was interested in him. But outside of Serie A they'd be more realistic in their negotiations

 

[thatdude]

La Liga also has a second division that allows B squads, and EPL has a reserve league. Serie A will have neither, so it's kind of hard to compare. Basically we will be forced to work with teams outside of our influence, therefore the buyback clause is more likely than in other countries.

 

[Mortimer]

Di Natale is coming back to Udinese for one more year. He saw Cuauhtemoc Blanco (age 41) play last night for Mexico and figured he has many years left.

Sure, but they weren't far off either. Michu had 18 in 35, benteke had 19 in 34... that's not LOADS less than Immobile's 22.

Also dont forget in the Premiership they have to compete with Suarez, Van Persie (23, 26 respectively), Bale (21 that season). Benteke and Michu were 4th and 5th top scorers in 12/13.

Morata is a great example.

He's different because he's from the Real youth team. Juventus arent going to go and sign a whole bunch of players, then immediately sell them again with clauses (well, they might do, but it'd be a precedent).

Buy-back clauses are generally used for one's on youth players, Morata's been at Real now for 5 or 6 years.

If Juve behaviour like Barca and Real on the buy-back clauses, then expect people like Giovinco, Mannone, Leali perhaps to be affected. But it wont affect Berardi, Zaza, Immobile, for as far as I'm aware, Real nor Barca have ever signed someone just to sell him again immediately with a buy-back clause?

And even if they have, it's certainly not *prolific*.
