row_33 Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 (edited) It would be most welcome for Italy to capture 18 of the 20 best players in the world again in club play again not since 1993 make it 1992, the same year Gianni Brera died and Gazza belched and flopped and the Golden Era ended Edited July 11, 2018 by row_33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could have sworn that I read somewhere that Real Madrid will be paying a portion of his annual salary with Juve. Can you confirm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you confirm? Rumor has it, Fiat will pay a large portion of it through some special sponsorship w the club. Which is slightly confusing, because the owner of Juventus owns Fiat (I think).

Agreed. Nothing will happen. I actually like the move for him. He's lost a gear, which means he'll still be faster than everyone in Serie A ? I still think a league title there is as worthless as Munich's is every season. I wish I was old enough to have watched the late 80s into the 90s when the league was the best.

Inter had the top Germans Milan had the top Dutch Roma brought in their 3 allowed imports from Europe and South America Napoli had Maradona and Careca Juventus brought in others like Roma did and it was very very good.... 5 teams seriously duking it out for 6 or so years. and back then only the first place team from a country went to the European Cup, not like the top 5 or 15 or 150 or whatever allowed in from top countries now to the Champions League... Spain for the last decade has spent the $$$ and built the most competitive league, might be slipping away now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you confirm? No. Juve will pay 100m € to Madrid and 10m € to his agent. They will then pay 60m to him partially covered through a special sponsorship deal with ferrari.

Still up there w my all time bests. I got into the game because I "remembered" who Rijkaard was when he managed Barca. Started watching around that time. Serie A sounded like a blast then.

He's changed his game and excelled in different ways. He'll have a less skilled surrounding cast, but he'll be fine because the overall level is below La Liga.

Serie a may not have the same marketing as the other leagues and may have dropped some prestige in the last ten years but napoli, Roma and the rest can certainly give juve a challenge.

Priorities come and go for leagues, around 1993 Italy stopped giving a darn about an entertaining product Spain has dominated the club excitement for at least 15 years now with 3-4 top teams stacked with imports, maybe it starts to ebb away now. sadly Serie A has been the worst borefest all this time.
