No it doesn't.
But it does change expectations.
Name me a young player that makes as much as De Ligt please.
Because it seems to me you're not aware of what you're talking about.
They’re making a long term investment in De Ligt. Sure maybe this year hasn’t gone to plan but the kid is again 20. It’s highly likely that next year he’s worth that and more. I’m sure Juve has absolutely no reservations with the fee or contract they gave De Ligt and they’d do it again.

dembele is making 350 a week. Not as much but I would for Couts or him to play as bad as De ligt lol. The point remains the same. De ligt is over priced but that's what it took the best talented CB on the market. Juve paid a premium but will probably sell him for a profit if need be.

Then and there
Justice served imo, when Donnarumma saved the penalty. Didn't understand the penalty at all, Atalanta player lying on the ground on his own making, freely kicked the ball away where he wanted inside the area, then a second later a Milan player slides in touching the Atalanta player's foot. And this is a penalty?

Long term?
Guy will leave in 2022 for 150.
At best Juve can hope for zero return.

Yep, consider the agent. Not sure why people don't understand this. I don't think they'll get a big fee even, guy is the champion of driving down fees to put money in his own pocket. That clause won't be paid at all. Look at how much Ibra got transferred for all those times.

Also, VVD makes half what he makes even after just signing a new contract.

Milan-Atalanta ends in a 1-1 draw. For a minute it looked it would be a 5+ goal game. Juve will really have to bottle it to lose the league now.

Pretty meaningless and lifeless match in the end, but it did show that Atalanta aren't an all-conquering juggernaut team coached by a genius, but rather a one that should be able to be beaten by a side with techically better players who show a bit of organisation and desire.

Inter keeping their slim title hopes alive, with bully Lukaku dragging his marker down before scoring a header to give them 1-0 lead after half an hour.

Reports circulating in Italy that after the game when Christian Romero got home Lautaro was still in his pocket. Guy missed bus back to Milan because he couldn't get out of Romero's pocket.

Boss defender.

Lecce probably down, weird finish to the game, Lecce we’re pushing for a winner, thought they won a penalty which wasn’t called (and essentially stopped playing to protest) and Bologna quickly had a 3 on 1 counter for the win. VAR review said no penalty

It’s hard to feel bad. There was never any excuse for this during potential penalties and offsides, now there’s really no need with VAR in place.
