As a Juve fan, i m not that satisfied, i want the best for Juve and our current situation is very far from that. I feel that our managers and owners have the obligation to bring back this club where it belongs to be, they were unable to protect Moggi or avoid our relegation, now the ought to fix things. Juventus is destined to be one of the protagonists in Italy one way or another. We have no financial power or influence anymore, our only option would be to create the most competitive team on the field, by far,
if we want to compete with the other powerful Milan teams. To create a competitive team, it needs time and a lot of cash. We have neither, we are destined to fail that task if our owners do not invest big money in the next year. If they dont, we will always be third because the Milan based clubs will always be a few steps ahead of us. IMHO the owners have done little to help our team make the vast leap we have to do(so far).
As a realist now, i didnt expect any better than that, the Agnelli family would like to keep the control of Juve even if we wont be able to compete for the championship the next decade, an occasional runner up position would satisfy the fans and keep em rolling.
They chose not to invest much more than the previous years, not to take any major risks, build a decent squad competitive for the CL positions and probable invest more the next year (i hope) , when our income and negotiation position, will allow us to make better choices, having even more options available.
It is a wise choice, firm on our 5 year plan, the players we have bought now combined with 3 world class players next year could form a very competitive squad on the field. On the same time our staff is working in our image re-creation, hopefully new facilities and a partially re-constructed stadium too, might attract more interest of fans and sponsors. At this rate we will slowly but surely become stronger and able to raise a competitive squad in the next 2-3 years.
For the moment we are competitive for our real target (position 3-4) and if we add another CB in our squad, i think we are, a sure bet for those positions!
I will be deeply dissapointed if we dont invest 100mil, for transfers, next year though, that would betray our plan and will just stall time.
Starting from next year, we might start having some tittle hopes,
but to reach there, we must cover the huge gap, there is, between us and our direct adversaries.
Juve wasnt buying world class players every year, because it never was as crucial as it is now. We have never been in a similar situation before, we need to react,
we need to make more and bigger transfers sometime in the future if we ever want to catch up with them, we dont have as many stars as we had in the past, we are not the same Juve we were, thats why for once, just for once, we need to buy more than usual!
