Alessio Secco (21 Viewers)

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

you might be right, I just wrote what i remembered reading on goal. Still my main point was that Secco actually didn't do that bad. Tiago is a player that anyone would have thought to be a pretty good signing and i was hearing a lot of good things about Almiron during his Empoli days.

The signing of Sissoko however seems really stupid though. The guy can't even pass the ball!

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!!

Aye, this would be the news of the season if true.

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... how can they even convince buffon of staying in turin.... fenin kalouda and elmander are all unproven or sold....and i don't want frank here.....
thank god that we still have our old guard.....
hopefully his end means also that ranieri is out

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

Pleeeeeeeeeeease pleeeeeeeeeeeasee God pleeeeeeeease make it happend

 

[dao_nq]

I totally don't believe in Goal.com any more. Look at these words, they just creat them all, without any quote and with poor logic...It seems like rumours, that's it.

Obviously, Juve's sponsors are not idiots so they know that current Juve's board is bad. It's just the matter of time that Juve's board will be changed.

Typical Goal.com bullshit, they just give you something you want to read, we have read 1000 statements from Gigli supporting Secco and Ranieri and any asshole screwing up our club

Does the guy who wrote that article ever read the news? Kalouda....gone , Fenin...gone, Lampard and Gilberto Silva are rumors from last year , he can't even create a new rumor

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...

Nice Post

Andrade was Moggi's signing?? I dont know, I thought we brought Andrade cuz we couldnt get Milito !!

Maybe you're right about scouts leaving Juve, but Secco blew up some easy transfers like Ivanovic,We were the first interested club, but he stood still for Inter and Chelsea to enter the race , also he couldnt convince Fenin that he'll get a playing time in Juve, so we went to Frankfurt

Secco had nothing to do with Sissoko's transfer, it was too easy for a child, as Liverpool, Ranieri and Sissoko wanted that transfer badly, but we could have brought him with much less money, As we took an unwanted player, and gave them lots of money to buy Mascherano, the player we really need, and that's the beauty of Secco, when you think it can't get more stupid, he proves you wrong !!

Anyways Of course Secco sucks, a clever man like Moggi will have the dumbest assistant, so he wont grow up and kick him out of the picture

Gianni Wilson

it said €13m not £13m like i said earlier. €13m is something like £8m

honest mistake

 

[Mark]

Sartori? no thanks! might as well keep Secco.

what's he done with that Chievo really? I don't see a lot of rising stars who came out of that team.

Corvino, Leonardi and Marino are my choices behind Big Luciano's comeback of course.

 

[The Curr]

I really hope this is true. I want Secco gone.

 

[David01]

I doubt it is true, Goal bs but God for once let them be right

 

[Luca]

Goal.com always makes up crap like this everything they say is too good to be true

 

[David01]

I still like them better than Tribal

 

[Dostoevsky]

I am proud to present my new avatar.

 

[Kosta]

This way , he will never leave.

 

[swag]

Trading himself to Genoa would be the best move ever under Secco's stewardship.

Gotta agree with Mark here. Sartori? Great if we're trying to climb out of Serie B and build a salvezza squad. But aren't our targets much bigger than that now?? :confused2

 

[Eddy]

Well, the question is how good is Chievo's guy. I understand he reached third 3 or 4 years ago and thats pretty insane. We haven't seen Parma or Udinese and even Sampdoria 3rd in a long long time

 

[Dostoevsky]

I think we`ll end up with Marino though.

 

[tassard]

Marino said that there is no reason to leave Napoli especially now when the results started to come

But in terms of consistency, Udinese always seems to be in the top six, whereas Chievo tapered off into obscurity after their breakout season. Maybe Juventus should look into the general manager for Udinese as a replacement. He seems to have quite the eye for signing talent, and he's forced to be smarter with the budget money. Just look at that squad in Udine...it's quite remarkable.

Of course, it's not just the GM, but the scouts they have as well. Regardless, I think he'd be an upgrade from Secco.

Udinese, napoli, fiorentina and even lazio r all doing great with the limited budget that they have......Any of these teams sporting directors would be great in juve (or we could look for someone from other leagues as well). For god's sake anyone to replace that moron secco......
