Club vision bit extreme for some AI clubs? - Juventus example

[battles_atlas]

I'm in 2029 in my game and I've noticed that the transfer policies of Juventus are a bit mad. I presume the club has a policy for buying world class veterans, but it seems a little over the top in its implementation, to the point of absurdity.

This is the ages of the players (at time of buying) they have signed in last 3 seasons, for fees over £5m: 32, 32, 33, 32, 33, 32, 34, 34, 18, 18, 19, 29, 28, 32, 27, 16

There were also big end of contract signings for players aged 34, 33, 36, 34, 33.

It's basically a retirement home for world stars. I'm not saying its completely wrong, but it seems a extreme.

Edit: just to add, all of the teenage signings were for fees just around £5m, more squad fillers than next generation superstars.

I don't see the issue. Juve are a win now team, not a do okay for a couple of seasons and nurture young talent to win in a few years time kind of team.

That's the reason Juve can be thrown straight to the junkyard from season 2 and onward. They turn to be rubbish in a blink of an eye.

In my savegame it's the same, looks absolutely stupid, they bought 34yo Firmino, Salah and Koulibaly...

Same thing happens in all my saves when I have Italian leagues loaded. Even managed to sign donnaruma on a free when he is out of contract and just casually offloads an ageing oblak to juventus on massive wages.
