to make a statement

to weaken the local competition

>>76429555
Don't believe guys who say they're the good guys. Juventus, like Buyern, are the bag guys. To dominate their league, they will always poach the best players from teams in their domestic league. That's the purest of evil.
Real Madrid on the other hand seldom poaches from their own league.
>this really activates your alimonies

>>76429646
Might have something to do with how fatman is a false prophet and how he can only do tap ins.

>>76429555
Because they only bought him for the league. And he delivered on the league. They didn't buy him for £75m to score goals in the Champions League or win big games. Please ignore that Napoli have scored more goals this season than last season. Please ignore that he's been outscored by Edin Dzeko.

Napoli didn't want to sell so Juve just triggered the release clause. That's why Napoli fans hate Higuain, because ultimately he was the only one who could've prevented the move but he chose to leave

To get a reliable poacher perhaps? Higuain scored 32 goals in all competitions, that's the best performance of any Juve striker since Trezeguet's 01/02 season I believe. Considering he broke historic league record with 36 goals the previous season and memes like Morata (15 goals in 63 Serie A matches) are being negotiated for 70 million, it's an understandable price in current market.
>>76429646
>muh merdens
You're conveniently forgetting how Higuain cucked Napoli out of Coppa Italia, so they ended up empty-handed like usual.

>>76429555
1) They wanted a striker that guarantees 20+ goals in the league. Higuain, Suarez and Lewandowski are the only ones who guarantee those numbers, and only one of them could be bought.
2) To weaken Napoli, aka their direct competition. Napoli scores a lot of goals, but those are usually useless goals scored when the team is already leading by more than 2 goals.

Top strikers are at a premium right now, who else was better at the time that they actually could've signed?

They also wanted to take their main opposition's best player.

In Juventus' position last summer, even with the benefit of 12 months of hindsight, who would you have signed instead?

>>76430897
Mertens

And how many do you think Higuain would score in Merten's place this season if he had stayed? Napoli are set up as a glass cannon with excellent support from midfield and wings, it's no wonder why their finishers end up with so many goals. It's more difficult to score in a team with safety first approach like Juventus and Higuain proved himself.

>>76430688
>Higuain, Suarez and Lewandowski are the only ones who guarantee those numbers

Lad, Harry fucking Kane guarantees those numbers. Plus you don't have to be good to score 20+ in Serie A these days. Just look at their top scorers this season. There's dozens of strikers across Europe that could have gotten 20+ playing for Juve against Pescara and the like, this season. And none of them would be pushing 30, requesting an XL jersey or costing £75m.

Getting cucked out of 2nd spot by AS Reddit is bad enough, but the worst thing is that the only achievement they could have got this season is Coppa Italia... if it weren't for Higuain in Juve shirt lel

>>76431386
Spurs would never sell Harry Kane. And he also lacks experience. Higuain finished the previous season as the league's top scorer, so chances are he'd do well this season too. Of course he was overpriced, but the transfer season was close to ending and Juve had plenty of money from the Pogba deal.

>>76431549
Because they score a lot of goals per match. Scoring a goal when you are already leading by 2-0 don't really matter. The truth is, they got cucked by Roma and didn't even get 2nd place.

>>76429555
Same reason why Bayern paid so much for fat mario and Neuer

>>76431705
So Napoli have scored more goals this season or not? I can't be bothered looking it up.

Are you a little slow in the head or something? Austria already pointed out twice >>76431802 how Napolel's goals this season were meaningless, there's no difference in putting three or five past Palermo (Merden's speciality) when you can't push for the decisive matches.

It's going to be very tough season for Juventus, no doubt about that. Napolel and AS Reddit are stronger than Juve's domination makes them appear to be, and even Memelan and Intercucks are reinforcing heavily. Everyone thinks Serie A should be taken for granted while it's the opposity, the 6 titles in a row are a testament to Juve's quality and not to shittiness of league itself. I'm looking forward to it honestly, little excimenet can't hurt anyone

also get a defense

>>76431705
You actually make some interesting points there my man. I am a Manchester United fan and I can see that the team will take a long time to recover after Sir Alex's leave.
But I don't think that Greaseman dissed United for the reasons you said, as United will play in CL, same as Atletico. And it's not like Grease has been winning the trophies like a madman either. I don't really want him here (I didn't want Pogdab either, just to catch up with any "lul yeah of course you say that now nigger pay denbts" comments) as I think that the team needs an attacker with less chocking tendencies. Not to say that he is a bad player by any means, just not the player United needs, for the golas the team has set (supposedly).
I don't expect much yet. I am a patient man.

>>76432352
And besides, they haven't bought anyone yet as far as I know. Memelan on the other hand made couple of good transfers already and are in negotiations with about half a dozen more, so that could possibly be a real threat. And then there's Napoli of course... AS Reddit will just choke as usual

>>76432477
just need someone to replace Koulibaly and Reina

>>76432477
Roma will be worse next year, without Spalletti and doing theyr sual sell you best payer to buy trick
Napoli will only be stronger
Milan will be stronger (if only because it can't realistaclly get worse), but it will still be a transition season
The same for Inter, Spaletti is a good manager and the squad needs less player to buy to be competive compared to Milan
Juve
Napoli
Inter
Milan
Roma
Juve is still the best if they don't choke

>>76432534
>Koulibaly
From what I've seen of Napoli this season, he's a walking spaghetti-spilling and constant danger to his own defence. Should have been sold when there were offers from PL clubs, any mediocre 8 million centreback from Genoa would do better job. That's why it appears Napoli lack in defence, while it's actually that shitter plus of course Reina sabotaging them.
>>76432588
Agreed pretty much, although Milan-Inter-Roma can be interchangeable in the table, it mostly depends on how the new signings perform together. Napoli will ber pushing Juve hard, they're motivated as hell while Juve have literally nothing left to prove domestically
