Juventus was not top 5 club in 2018-2019 onward. Uruguay has been meh, not the 2010 World Cup version. This Uruguay is trying to squeeze the last bit out of old Cavani and Suarez and currently struggling in their World Cup qualifying campaign.

Even the best South American team like Brazil and Argentina despite having world class players, are the shadow of their all stars squad of the early 2000s. Nowadays they have to fill the squad with bang average players. Danilo is fucking rubbish and look at all those clubs he has been playing for, and the tittles in his honor list.

Boc a Junior would receive a huge percent from this transfer. For all hype you're projecting, do you realize Juventus is desperate to rid of him right now? If he has huge potential, why not give him more time to restore his value? Or they had seen enough, and now gave up. They're happy to get their money back with little profit.

Marotta is good at building team. It doesn't mean he is infallible in every aspect. Spending the Pogba money on Higuain left question mark on his legacy. Higuain in the end left for free. Zero resale value and he didn't contribute that much when he was at Juventus.

The issue with Paratici is not that he re-sign the same players, but that he seems to have tunnel vision by targeting majority of our activity in Italian league.

Juventus need cash and need it now. They have a lot of depth in midfield.
 
He’s competition in midfield. People putting too much stock in the top 11 stuff. It’s ok to not have a nailed on top 11. Many of these top teams have a group of guys who can all do the job. Italian clubs in particular always seem to have a bunch of CMs who rotate heavily. Hopefully now we have 4 guys who can do a job and can be pretty dang good on their day. I don’t know if he’s the right signing or the right price but I’m going to be an optimist. I think we still need a creative player but we are also probably getting rid of 3 CMs so we also need just capable bodies.
We currently only have 1 cm in skipp that can do a job. We need proper improvement signings not much of the same imo.
