It's the only way we were allowed to buy him in the same window that Atalanta bought him from Juve.
Only benefit? ........You mean apart from a swift £35m profit on a player who may not have repeated his form the following season.

Sorry is that meant to change anything? Are we playing a different sport here?
Son didn't start his first year in good form either...that was quite recent...

A season is August - May = 9 months...... 2-3 months out is far from "half a season".
Besides; players pick up hamstring probs.... It's a classic footballer injury.
See, this is the thing though.... You are under no compulsion to get your crystal ball out and call him a disaster.
There's no prizes for 'calling it first'.
what? it's an option? what swift 35m profit?
we could just say "nah we don't like him anymore" and send him back at the end of the season without paying them .
you get the difference between option to buy and obligation to buy right?
Yes, and without that option we'd have likely bargained to a lower price.
50m - 16m paid = 34m profit.
Serie A is pretty cash strapped atm....
Yes thanks..... (See above)
Plenty of players were moved on loans and options last summer (and the year before that)..... Clubs are juggling finance and cash flow more than ever thanks to covid.
e.g. Chavs got Saul on loan (who also had a mooted price-tag of 50m) and neither they or Atletico are short of a few quid.
You said you are "completely convinced" that Paraticci is corrupt..... Playing 'detective' is funky and all that; but your certainty isn't based on anything particularly solid.

I dare say it's about as solid as liquid ice!
The sooner he is back, the better, IMO.
Your interpretation is correct but Romero is a special case. Juventus took him from Genoa for € 26 million and left him on loan to Genoa. In the meantime, I bought De Light and Demiral (in addition to having Bonucci is Chiellini). At this point he lent Romero to Atalanta with the right of redemption for a sum of less than € 26m. I think € 18 million. Atalanta realized they had made the deal and sold it to you for a very high price. Among other things, it now seems that De Light may leave at the end of the season: the "dance" of that disgusting character who is Raiola has begun ...
A friend of mine who is a Genoa fan had warned me about Romero: Juventus made a gross mistake
Romero looks absolute quality. Basically a young Vertoghen, quick, aggressive and skilful on the ball but a bit rash sometimes. He was Serie A defender of the year last season, I think it probably was a mistake for Juventus not to end up with him but obviously our gain.
Montero is great. In recent years, many details have leaked about his "issues". When Zidane at Juventus struggled to emerge some of the ultras began to annoy the Frenchman: Montero threatened the ultras to defend Zidane. It was very moving when Pessotto attempted suicide. Montero arrived from South America and left only when his friend recovered, yet they were now former teammates. From here we understand the cement of Lippi's Juventus, a very united group
You do not play as a defender at any top club in Italy unless you are the special type of cunt that will flourish in any league given time.
Always appreciate your translation and insight...
What is a good January window to you? You know it's virtually impossible for Clubs to bring in any players who are actually good in Jan, yeah?
Not true
