I am confused by the concerns about him being 29 yrs old . Ricardo Carvalho has been playing in the Euros for a team that has got to the final at 38 yrs of age. I am not suggesting Carvalho is the force he was but if he can play at that standard at that age why should we be concerned about buying a player at 29 especially when everyone seems to agree on Bonucci's quality and him being one of Peps favourites. For some people it seems players are either too young or too old but surely buying someone at or coming up to their peak is the way to go if we want to compete at the top level and in all the top competitions.

Thats one player out of how many? I look at the prem and think of the top CB's over the years. Vinne is struggling at 30 with injuries. Vidic crumbled once he hit his 30's, Terry declined when he hit his 30's (to be fair had a good season a couple of years ago but that was preceeded by a few dodgy years), camel gob went to shit in his early 30's. I think there is a huge difference between international and PL football. No hiding place in the PL. Not saying its definitely a bad deal, but its a hell of a lot of money for a 29 year old and a risk for someone who has never played in the PL before.

I was doing the same mate you have to think if it happens its pep thats buying him pep whos in my eyes the best manager in the game he knows far more than us. If we buy him get 3-4 years from him and win plenty of trophys then the rest is history.

Yes hopefully. To be fair, he looks lean and fit as a fiddle and doesn't seem to miss many games for Juve through injury. Like you say though, if its what Pep wants then i'm happy with it.
