nothing is wrong..
you need strong mentality and balls to do it..
and all you hear from the players who join.
(you sense the difference from the first day you come here.. this club is strong in all aspects blah blah blah)
while we know that we have a weak mentality, at least in Europe. hope the last game will serve us good.

Weak mentality 
This team has been punching above its weight since Allegri got here. The level of competition these days is incredible. There are many super rich clubs that can afford to dump hundreds of millions every year and they do and they still have nothing to show for it.

Should we have a strong mentality, we would have not cracked in the final and after Real second goal.
Though, i do not disagree that we have been doing pretty much more than expected with our squad.

I think you misinterpreted me. I don't expect the club to perform a transfer campaign similar to the clubs you mentioned. I don't want Juve to spend 150mln on full-backs as City did this summer or buy two players for 450 million as PSG did. I just would like the club to address the biggest weaknesses our squad has, which are midfield and RB. Without it, we can only expect the players and the coach to do the best they can but we cannot expect the triumph. And basically that has been going on since few years in which "we want to go as far as possible in the CL".
But this team already is strong enough to defeat anyone, this is not a chump team that requires incredible amount of luck to defeat the elite, we're already CL winner material. We deserved to kick out UEFAs favorites RM and they're the strongest team left in the competition.
As long as our transfer campaign is adequate and brings the much needed reinforcements in RB and CM, we should go for CL balls out. We blame our players for respecting Madrid, Barca and others too much, but that attitude starts from the top, Agnelli needs to set the tone that Allegri, Marrotta, Nedved, players and everyone at Juve follow.

Yeah but we never sold anyone who was an appreciated member of the squad and wanted to stay. Everyone we sold wanted out or wasn't valued by Mister. Players arent assets like machines though, if they don't feel like giving 100% anymore and want to move you need to plan forward.
Look at Alex Sandro playing like an absolute wanker. His market value must have dropped and he's been shit.

AgnellI “We all want more international [European] games and less domestic, combined with an overall reduction of games because we don’t want to go over a certain number. And we said: 'Let’s come up with a proposal.’" [Guardian]

Agnelli proposes new Champions League
By Football Italia staff
Juventus President and chairman of the European Club Association Andrea Agnelli outlined his plans for a new Champions League format.
Agnelli sat down with The Guardian to discuss the backlash against FIFA President Gianni Infantino’s proposed new approach to the Club World Cup.
“We all want more international [European] games and less domestic, combined with an overall reduction of games because we don’t want to go over a certain number. And we said: 'Let’s come up with a proposal.’”
Agnelli and the ECA want to maintain 32 clubs in the Champions League, but rather than eight groups of four teams, they’d have four much larger groups of eight sides each.
They would therefore play at least 14 matches in the opening phase of the Champions League rather than the current six.
“You could say that whoever participates [in the expanded Champions League] has to play in the national league with six U21 or U23 players, but it’s brainstorming because there isn’t a project at the moment.
“Whether we are Man United, Real Madrid, Juventus, or Legia Warsaw, Sporting Lisbon, and Anderlecht, we all want more international exposure, to develop our brands. Today everything is about brand exposure.
“I think if we manage to find some grounds in which we can discuss this with the European national [football] associations, the European leagues, UEFA and the clubs, I think it’s just a normal evolution you would have in the game.”
Infantino invited only certain clubs to view plans for an expanded Club World Cup and this irritated Agnelli, as the ECA is meant to represent them collectively.
The Juventus chief also dismissed Real Madrid and Barcelona enthusiasm for the plan.
“If you go around to anybody saying: 'Do you want to play football for a couple of weeks, on average you get €150m, the answer is going to be yes – it’s fairly obvious.
“This is too important for the future of football than to enter it with no information, blindfolded. As I told him, the better idea is thinking about what is the role of FIFA, the governing body? FIFA should be a governing body about good practices, not about entering commercial joint ventures with unknown investors. I am surprised the way they are behaving at the moment.
“Whatever you propose in football you will not be 100% backed. The point is the stakeholders should sit down and discuss it. You have competitive balance [problems], polarisation, we want to sit down and talk about it.
“This would be under UEFA auspices, and there would be [financial] solidarity mechanisms. I am on the record with you, but I can assure you that many of my colleagues have very similar views.”
