“Matri is the striker who has scored the most goals here over the last two years,” the former midfielder noted.
“Technically speaking, I wasn’t expecting his sale or that of Giaccherini. But Milan made an offer. I would never have sacrificed him if we were not in an economical crisis.
“A Coach has to live with the current situation and accept certain exits. But I hope that one day I’m told I have €50m to spend on the market in the way I want.”
He added: “Matri’s sacrifice underlines that the financial situation in Italy is difficult, with a few exceptions like Napoli.
“Sides like Juventus are forced to sell when important offers are made. It’s part of the puzzle – if you bring in new pieces then you have to take away others.
“People say that the gap between us and the rest has increased, but we have been weakened with the departures of Matri and Giaccherini.
“We have strengthened Milan, but what can we do?”
Conte is now hoping the club don’t release any more of his squad, especially in attack where he has been left with five forwards.
“That’s the minimum amount for a team playing in three competitions. I’m no hoping that Fabio Quagliarella doesn’t leave.”

You have four forwards and ask for reinforcement, you get them but at the same time you get rid of your best one, did you drastically strengthen or just slightly? With Matri's departure the arrival of Tevez and Llorente is not as significant anymore. Add to that the departure of giaccherrini, someone who played everywhere without any arrivals to fill his place. I agree with him, what if Tevez and Llorente flop?
If they flop then it's his fault as much as anyone else's. Look, he was able to win a second consecutive scudetto and reach the final 8 in CL last year with that set of forwards, whom NO ONE on this forum were acknowledging as top notch.
He has more weapons now than he ever had in the past 2 seasons. It's on him now.
And as far as Matri being the best forward last year, it's waht I always say.
Even if you win the special olympics, at the end of the day, you're still retarded.

With the reactions of a lot of people with these two being sold.
two bench players, and one of them (Matri) being either the 5th or 6th forward.
If an outsider came into this forum and saw the reactions, they would think that we sold off Messi and Ribery.
I'm not saying it's you, but it's getting a little crazy around here.
Everyone was saying "Juve need to get rid of the deadwood".
Well.............................................................................
that's what they're doing, and now everyone is losing their minds.
