DDA 9,985 Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Just now, Mceachran said: You all think this big of a sale at age 29 is worth it when he'll be 30 by the next time he's leading our line in a CL game?? I really don't know. It is a lot of money for a soon to be 30 year old. You have to look at the market and then assess how badly we need a World Class defender and how soon do we need one. Taking those factors into considerationand lets not forget that we are still fighting to get a CL spot... then I would say, pay whatever it takes.

!Hazard! 3,394 Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 60m today was like 25-30m in 2010. John Terry was turned 30 during the 2010-11 season. Would you had paid 25m for John Terry in the summer of 2010? And, it's not like the club doesn't have an armada of players around Europe ready to be sold. Plus there are plenty of players in the first team that will be sold in the following transfer windows as well so that 60m could be made with other transfers literally overnight. Also, is there a better central defender in world football at the moment than Bonucci? I'd say no. I've said it before and i'll say it again. The club needs world class players. So we need to buy world class players. And like we saw during the summer, there ain't many world-class centre-backs out there. When one becomes (rumours) available, you take your shot.

I agree with the last bit about needing to acquire WC talent once again, but we need to be wise. £60m for a 30 yr old is only good business for Juve.

Also, the team isn't almost ready, in which case a world class playing in a specific position, would take us to the next level. The team is being rebuilt, so the money has to be used wisely. My personal opinion has been that this club has always lacked in strength in depth; even at times when we have good performing starting XI, we don't have a starting XV: we don't have cover of the same caliber and that shows esp in the PL.

It's too big 625 Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Rather take Silva on a free than Bonucci for 60m. It wouldn't make sense at his age, and there would be other top defenders out there for us to acquire in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid Angel 2,130 Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 People forget that Italians start their career at the age of 33. Give me Bonucci for 60m any day of the week. He is world class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the wes 7,212 Posted October 14, 2016 Author Share Posted October 14, 2016 My point view I would put Bonucci has the best centre back in the world Atm but £60m for a 29 year old is alot of money tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unionjack 7,531 Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 juve got a chance Chelsea could sign Leonardo Bonucci for £42million as Juventus consider defender ‘sellable’ and want to build long-term defensive partnership between Daniele Rugani and Mattia Caldara http://www.footballfancast.com/transfer-rumours/juventus-open-to-selling-bonucci-door-open-for-chelsea-to-swoop https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/2966720/chelsea-leonardo-bonucci-42million-juventus-daniele-rugani-mattia-caldara/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolhead23 1,147 Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Every other team wants to built their squad with the young guns ... but we still want or are rumored with the so called "28+ yrs world beaters" while we dont want to give our young guns a shot. Instead we always deem them as "not ready for the PL" ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nathangeorge99 27 Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 One of the best centre-backs out there, but will he be able to adapt to the Premier League at his age, and could we still get 2-3 years of world-class performances out of him? Is it worth the risk for what would likely be a transfer fee of around £60M? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has won several Serie A and Coppa Italia titles already, Champions League was the only thing he hasn't one yet. Maybe after winning it will be the perfect time for him to look for a new chapter.
