Conte is using money excuse again I see. Funny, considering that Juve invested 130m in the last 2 years on the market.

Our wage bill is important, that's what separates us and the likes of Villa or Stoke, but we are still quite a way behind most of the similar sized clubs. Using Arsenal as a reference it's something like €175m compared to €115m, the Spaniards are over €200m etc, but their turnovers cover it. This brings me back to my original point.

Quagliarella €15m, Matri €18m, Bonucci €15.5m (p/e), Giovinco €11m (half), back up players cost €5m a piece. You always pay a bit more for domestic players in your league when there is enough money to fund it, there is just extra premium and demand in England, and clubs know they have money.

What does the €130m include, exactly?

Spending on the market; all players that we brought last year were worth close to 70 millions.
At the same time players that we sold were worth 27m, and those are in fact our receivables, net gains were 13m on those transactions, as these guys had book value.
Net result of investments for last summer was 57m, give or take few mills.
Pretty much similar scenario was year before.

And it's "a lot"? Also, Bonehead cost us only 4m, and I'll tell you now what does "a lot" means - Darren Bent was bought for ~25 millions 2 times, Andy Carroll for 40m, Right-Phillips for 35m, Rodwell for 20m, Downing for 27m etc. and you want to compare this transfers with ours? you've gotta be kidding me
Conte is a sore loser, but he does have a point. The club needs to back him and the team financially.
Conte needs to evolve and try new things.
It's not Conte's fault...it will be hard to try new tactics when you have a 36 year old world class player getting paid 3.5 million euros a season. It was a mistake resigning Pirlo. He really limits us and conte tactically.

One thing that cannot be denied is that Conte is having bad approaches to CL and Knout games.
His mentality is smply wrong. Always making statements that we are not only underdogs... but simply not good enoguth to win.
Even when we all know we are maybe not good enought to reach semis or finals.... i think is simply not welcomed his comments about our lack of quality to win.
Before, i didnt undertand this comments.... but now im 99% sure that is a tactic he uses just to be safe in case he does seomething wrong and we fail and get eliminated.
We can prove this by his late comments about demanding players in the mercato or leaving, because he just cannot do more with what he has at his disposal
Thats a coward attitude.
Heck, thats even disrespectful to some of our players who are definitely class.
Im not expecting anything from Conte this year...he has dissapointed me with his attitude, and he will not change.

Athletico and udinese arent really top teams. They are seller teams. They have 2-3 good years and 5 or more lesser ones. Like dortmund really.
Athletico has gotten quite lucky with their strikers, but when that luck runs out, their cycle is over and its gonna be taking quite a few years before they resurface. Like dortmund basically.
Porto is the only you mention, who actually is domminating its own league. However, its a story like anderlecht in belgium. They allways are top 3, partially cause without the star players, the team is still solid enough to get third. porto, like athletico, gambles on players, and sells em when they break trough.
What is my point here ? A true topteam, that wants to continue getting top3 in its domestic league, and consistantly perform in europe, doesnt make these gambles. They eighter are rich as fuck, or they slowly take their steps up there.
Because we slowly take steps, we didnt had to sell pogba when we underperformed in europe and made 25mil less turnover then expected.
If we would be taking gambles, we probably would have be forced to sell.

Basically just change the coach for a start.

Just as expected, Conte lovers attack with insults a well contructed opinion questioning his abilities as a coach. Nothing new really.

And who is responsbile for resigning Pirlo? Tell me it's not Conte.

He is just not a good enough coach, bro. And he's hiding behind these three Scudettos but if you think logically, you will know that Juventus is probably the only place where he could achieve this. Do you think he would have been able to win Serie A with any other team other than Juventus? I seriously doubt it.
