Diego to Juve

[Parm]

stories coming out today say that Diego is off to Juve for 24mill, 4 yr deal.

I'm surprised that Italian clubs have that much money to spend.

Although, dont they have an independent tv deal? Or used to have one?

I'm sure Juve and Milan would've stashed a few quid away from that.

Good player Diego, would've been good for us. But never tested in a top league - and yet, still costing £24m. Madness.

25m euros according to his agent

Gotta be worth a punt in the Italian league though surely? Big price but he has a big rep

A player like Diego needs lots of time on the ball so the Italian league will suit him

[Darth Marty]

Potentially a great player, too much money for my liking though.

[Parm]

yes serie a will suit his play, prem would be very fast for him, shame though as he is qualty

The Italian clubs spent quite a lot last season - nearly as much as the PL I think (or at least vaguely remember from the Guardian podcast earlier in the season). With the Euro strengthening I imagine that this season they will be very serious players in the transfer market.

as I said... one of the best signings in years for them.

not to mention juve are owned by the agnelli family, and Fiat is fast becoming europe's biggest car company, so they have quite a lot of money to spend

Diego looks a bloody good player
