Obviously.

We could've maybe gotten 20-30M for Arthur without cooking of the books. Assuming this, Pjanic' "real" cost is around 10-20M.

Yeah, the difference would've been the same either way. Also he's surely an upgrade on Rakitic, Vidal and Busi despite being 30... it's not all doom and gloom.

Massive upgrade over Arthur...then again any lower mid-table midfielder would have been an upgrade over Arthur.

PIRLOjanic will surprise many here. Incredible player.

Delighted to have him at the club.

His market value was just under 60, considering he was bought for 30-32M. A 10M net transfer to go backwards in terms of age is disastrous sporting & financial planning

But very much in keeping with the approach of Bartomeu et al, along with stockpiling forwards who cannot all be on the pitch at the same time

Pjanic is not Arthur's replacement. He is Rakitic's replacement. Puig is Arthur's replacement in the squad. Pjanic is easily a better player than Arthur.

Best of luck to him, I hope this move revitialises him and discovers his pre 2018 form as he was seriously good then.

Pjanic was an incredible player 2 years ago, but he's obviously declined. He's about to be 31, so I can't see him playing at a high level for much longer.

He'll give us a few decent performances, but I feel he may struggle against the top teams.

He will have 1 good year, fans will overhype him, then the next president will ship him out to China for 35m. It's worth it for a guaranteed Champions League that he will single-handedly bring home this season.

1 good year would be more than expected. His last two seasons at Juve were trash.
