Summer transfer window 2017

Biglia is a little more expensive than we'd like him to be for sure, but I think he is one of those signings that can make management look like geniuses in a couple of years. A player with his skill set, which relies heavily on vision, reading of the game, and passing tend to age much better than someone who relies heavily on athleticism. I think Pirlo is probably a close comparison. The guy was still instrumental to Juve in his mid 30s despite never having good athleticism or size to begin with. For my money, unless he has some major injury problems, which is possible with all players, I can see this guy giving us three to four rock solid years playing the deep laying playmaker role. If that is what 20M can buy you, I personally think that's fair price. Also consider this, we are taking a featured player from a direct competitor. There is always a premium you have to pay to do that.
