Transfer news often gets sensationalized in the summer. Juventus, like other clubs, has experienced notorious transfer missteps over the past decade. An evaluation of these transfers will focus on two criteria: the financial investment made in the player and their fit within the team. High-price flops are considered worse than low-cost failures. It's essential to recognize that not every signing is a straightforward failure, and the context around each transfer should guide judgment.
The art of transfers are not as cut and dry as your latest FIFA save might be. Not every flop signing is built the same as others and therefore we will not judge all the moves the same.
A big-money move that flops is infinitely worse than a low-risk flier on a guy that doesn't pan out. Investment matters, so a guy that came with a big price tag will be judged more harshly than others.
Given that transfer news is most of what we will be gnawing on for the foreseeable future before the new Serie A season starts up, why not take a stroll down memory lane and count down a few chosen transfers that, to put it charitably, did not quite pan out.
Sometimes we are too harsh with our front office members. The transfers are not just about the players but also their fit within the team and the expectations they come with.
