...assuming that the choice is on Chelsea

As Agnelli said at a convention in London few days ago, Juventus doesn't probably have the economical strenght to resist to an huge offer for its players, as big clubs should do. He actually named Pogba, and I think he was kind of putting the french talent up for sale. Anyway, I think the offer has to be really huge, at least 35M pounds. I'm really sad for that, but considering his agent is Mino Raiola (a shark, indeed) I can't see a long career for him in Juve.

I wouldn't say it's even... how about adding Vidal and Tevez, just to be sure? Kidding aside, it wasn't a fight at all

The same to you.

Any possible way for exploiting a loophole needs to be regulated, otherwise it can be considered unfair by me or you, but it's just legal according to rules... and that's what really matters. Which reply do you refer to? The one in which you quoted the Arbitral Award? It just states that the compensation is related to Mutu's breach of the contract and that Juventus is involved in the payment for being Mutu's new club, without any mention to Juve's hiring modality.Also, I can't understand why in that post you bolded the passage related to "unlicensed agents" since it refers to a FIFA investigation requested by Mutu against Chelsea, and no violation has been founded.

FIFA and DRC are not dealing with the Livorno->Juventus transfer, which is a behaviour formerly put into effect by other clubs. And even if they investigate on this particular workaround and consider it illegal, I can't see how it can be related to Chelsea's compensation.

I'm not well up on english and spanish regulations but, for instance, as far as I know in Spain they have to set a break clause for each player in order not to bind them to the clubs... well, often this clauses are set to 100M+ values, don't you think this is a workaround? And I keep saying, unless this behaviour is properly regulated, that it doesn't break any rule.

In Serie A we have this idiotic rule which doesn't allow a club to hire more than two non-EU players per season, unless they come from another italian club (in this case they are considered as EU players). The commonly used workaround involves another italian club which functions as a "bridge"; this club will be obviously compensated in some way (such as transfer fee, loan of other players, etc.). As you can see, this doesn't actually break any rule.

It's just an often used workaround in order to avoid an idiotic rule, and it actually doesn't break any rule at all. Anyway, I guess this isn't the reason why Chelsea asked for a compensation since this particular move is not Chelsea's business.

why on earth should Juve pay for it? your management decided to fire him totally unbelievable
