Danilo (signed for Juve)

[domalino]

but how much did we actually pay again?

Danilo + €28m.

It's for the benefit of Juventus' accounts.

100% of the amount Cancelo goes out for is in the books for this year, while Danilo's fee is spread along his 4 year contract.

Cancelo was signed for 5 years last summer for €40m, which means his total value left on the books was €32m. Danilo's 37m works out as 9.25m per season, so Juventus can put this swap down as a €23.75m profit in this years accounts.

If we gave them Danilo for free and just got Cancelo for €28m, they'd book a €4m loss, even though the amount of money and the players exchanged would be identical.

It helps us as well. Danilo's value on our accounts was £16m and by selling him for £34m we can put down an £18m profit on him.

Yes and there is a difference between wishing a player well and blowing sunshine up his arse to such an extent that if he farts people will think the sun is collapsing.

Played a role in the two greatest seasons this club has ever had. I'd happily blow sunshine up his arse with my own mouth.

The Juventus fans seem to have made their mind up on Danilo already. They seem to have a habit of assuming knowledge rather than actually acquiring it, it was the same with Pep "City fans know nothing... here's how it is".

Most of us are telling them that he's not at all a bad player, he will fit their system under Sarri and IMO fit their league better than the PL. They've got a replacement in fast, one that should pick up Sarri ball and help the rest of the team understand it(not easy to just go out and buy players like this at short notice). Then, they've also still got some funds to cover other transfers, which is why they were open to selling Cancelo in the first place. It makes sense from Juve's point of view.

Hope he gets off to a good start, to shut them all up.

Edit: Changed the Lukaku bit, Inter bid accepted? I could have sworn the Juve transfer was imminent a few days ago.

Great servant and never a problem. His best game was Liverpool at home 2-1. Walkers head was all over the place after the Xmas period and he produced a really solid display which led to us closing the gap. Underrated and unfortunate with injury timings. Should have played more than 60 times.

All the best. I thought he should have had more chances as he always looked decent at RB but injuries were his downfall.

I agree he should have played more than 60 times. But what great business to get more than you paid for him and a record sale and also a swap for a younger and (allegedly) better player. Really superb transfer business for us.

Exactly, Juve seem to be struggling financialy, think we've inflated the prices to do them a favour for accountancy purposes.
