maybe but we only neede a good defender and creative midfielder and we would have been fine and now we have spent millions on players that aren't adding anything to the team
it is the old guard that got us into third place
if Secco had done a better job, we would have been contenders and it wouldn't necessarily have been more expensive

Juve Were Going To Sell Ibra Anyway – Secco

Juventus sporting director Alessio Secco says that the club had already decided to sell Zlatan Ibrahimovic even before the eruption of the Calciopoli crisis. Meanwhile Secco defended his decision to release Marcelo Zalayeta last summer.

Swedish striker Ibrahimovic was labelled a ‘traitor’ by the majority of Juventini after he signed for bitter rivals Inter in the aftermath of the Bianconeri’s relegation to Serie B.

However Secco, who replaced former general manager Luciano Moggi as the man in charge of transfers, says that his predecessor had already decided to sell Ibrahimovic because the player’s wage demands were too high.

"Ibrahimovic was leaving even before Calciopoli,” said the much-maligned Secco.

“Moggi asked the board to sell him because his new contract demands were too high."

Secco also commented on Napoli star Marcelo Zalayeta, who Secco agreed to sell to the Partenopei in a co-ownership deal last summer.

Zalayeta has been in fine form this season, scoring the winner against Inter at the weekend. This has led to criticism for Secco for letting the Uruguayan go.

"We have no regrets,” the sporting director insisted.

“We sold Zalayeta in co-ownership and now he is worth twice as much."

Secco Slams Ranieri Sack Talk As A 'Joke’
Juventus sporting director Alessio Secco has angrily hit out at those who say that coach Claudio Ranieri should be sacked, and also rubbishes the accusations that the team lacks creativity

Ranieri has come under heavy fire since the 3-2 home defeat to Fiorentina at the weekend, a result which means that Juve have picked up just one point in their last three games.

With the Bianconeri’s Champions League qualification hopes now in the balance, many supporters have been calling for 'the Tinkerman’ to be sacked.

"The talk about a dismissing Ranieri is a joke,” blasted Secco.

“The coach has done very well up to now and certainly there's no reason to change the judgement on him.

"We have unity of purpose, goals, desire for redemption, we are fully entitled to continue the journey with him."

The Juventus team this season has also been heavily criticised for its lack of creativity, with the observation being that there are too many defensive midfielders, and not enough flair players. Secco strongly disagrees with this assessment.

"A team that occupies third place in the standings is not there only through physical strength and determination," he pointed out. "Juventus also have good technical quality, if we didn't we wouldn't be third.”

Alessio, just a tip here.. try to avoid using the words technical quality in the same sentence as anything related to football since you obviously have the footballing brain on a squirrell.. I know football is about results but please, look beyond our current position in the table

Congratulations for the capture of Sissoko,Secco

 

[Red]

It doesn't matter how well any of the signings do, some people won't give Secco credit even when it is due.

Before everyone says how crap Secco is, I know has done poorly in general.

 

[Gep]

Secco's shit! he just got lucky with the Momo deal. 3rd time lucky i suppose.

Secco Set To Leave Juventus - Report
Juventus sporting director Alessio Secco is set to leave the club, and take up a similar role at Genoa, according to Leggo

Secco replaced Luciano Moggi as the man in charge of transfer operations at Juventus following the Calciopoli crisis, however he has become a hugely unpopular figure among Bianconeri supporters following a long-line of disastrous purchases.

Secco has mostly come under-fire for his signings of Jean-Alain Boumsong, Sergio Almiron and Tiago Mendes, who joined the club for a total fee of around €27m.

He has also been criticized for attempting to offload Giorgio Chiellini last summer to Manchester City, while his signing of Liverpool bench-warmer Momo Sissoko for €13m also raised eye-brows.

According to Leggo, Secco’s planned signings for this summer’s transfer market did not go down well with director general Jean-Claude Blanc.

Secco had identified Gilberto Silva, Frank Lampard, Johan Elmander, Lubos Kalouda and Martin Fenin as his main targets, players Blanc did not warm to.

As a result Secco could now be forced out of the club to take up a position at Genoa, where he has a good relationship with current coach Gian Piero Gasperini.

As a replacement for Secco, Juventus are said to be looking at Giovanni Sartori, who was responsible for building the 'miracle Chievo’ team who stunned Serie A earlier in the decade.

I'm not surprised Blanc wasn't impressed with that list. And he had already missed out on Kalouda.

Wow, Gianni Wilson actually put in an article which I like, no wonder he splashes on Mimmo and then loans him back, he wants more funds

I don't care who comes in secco's place. As long as secco is leaving......just hope this is true......

 

[ormishen]

these are the players that were signed this season:
Tiago (Lyon, £8.74m)
Vincenzo Iaquinta (Udinese, £7.44m)
Jorge Andrade (Deportivo la Coruna, £6.77m)
Sergio Almiron (Empoli, £6.05m)
Christian Molinaro (Siena, £1.68m)
Hasan Salihamidzic (Bayern Munchen, Bosman)
Momo Sissoko (Liverpool, Undisc. rumored to be about £13m)
Zdenek Grygera (Ajax Amsterdam, Bosman)

(taken from http://www.footballtransfers.info/squads/club505.html)

The sum of all these transfers are about £44m or something like €57m. As far as i know the transfers of Iaquinta, Andrade, Salihamidzic and Grygera were all done by Moggi and not Secco (I'm not sure about Molinaro, but I will count him as a Moggi transfer). Out of the total of £44m Secco is accounted for about £28m while Moggi spent £16m.

Meaning Moggi spent less money on more players than Secco, so the argument that Secco goes for cheap players who end up being bad is totally wrong. Problem seems rather he has no clue which players are good or not. Although, that said, I find it very doubtful that he makes all these decisions himself, surely he must have scouts working for him to tell him which players are worth buying.

Since I don't know all the details of how much calciopoli affected Juve i can't say for sure, but maybe many of the scouts also left Juve (and other staff members) because of calciopoli and so it would be unfair to lay all the blame of bad signings on Secco. But obviously since he is the guy in charge he certainly needs to take responsibility and should go given the bad results.

I just want to make one more point. It seems now that Juve are not as interested in signing Diego of Werder Bremen anymore, mostly because they can't afford him. A signing that at least many of the fans seemed to have liked. One of the problems of that transfer was that Werder wanted something around £25-30m for him whilst Juve wanted to give less.

Had he not signed Tiago, Almiron and Sissoko they actually could have afforded him. I'm just saying...

 

[vimo]

it's not the right thing to do to compare moggi and secco. Moggi was just one of the most experienced people in his position, and let's not forget; he had the connections! Secco might not have shined with his transfers, but we are all too harsh; Just look at the transfer-Forum, everyone wants our board to risk something and sign new (more unknown) players. With tiago, secco tried something like that. It just didn't work out. If it's really true what the post above mine says, then the only transfer secco did really wrong was Almiron. And then again, it's not like almiron was the worst ever seen. He just isn't better than our current midfield. The Sissoko-signing was pretty good imo, and the tiago transfer... well it was a gamble, and probably it was NOT worth it, but we didn't lose a fortune out of it. we can still sell him for +/- the price we bought him minus 1 or 2 mio.
Secco's young. I'd prefer a moggi-type of sporting director also, who just quietly and without any attention signs us the del pieros of tomorrow, but hey, even moggi himself said secco was a good manager!

 

[.zero]

This is one rumor that I hope is true. Lets bring in someone who can drive this thing to get back on track, that’s all I'm asking for!!

 

[Pingo]

Momo Sissoko (Liverpool, Undisc. rumored to be about £13m)

That's not true ,it's 8m£ (11m€) and +2m€ from editional games...
