Honestly, I know a lot of fans have lost patience with him, but sounds like a dodged bullet. We tend to get screwed over badly when it comes to transfers with Juve (direct or indirect).
A few examples:
- Roberto Baggio to Milan was in the end a little underwhelming. He wasn't bad, but not the world's best he was a couple of years before
- The gentlemen's agreement between the clubs over French players to not target the same players. Juve got Zidane, Milan got Dugarry
- Davids to Juve after flopping at Milan, only to be world class
- The Matri/Tevez saga, where we got Matri and effectively paid for Tevez to go to Juve
- Pirlo going to Juve for free
I'm sure there are a couple of others that I've not considered, but generally dealings with Juve in the last 25 years generally resulted in us getting to short end.
