Cristiano Giuntoli (69 Viewers)

Bro that kind of logic and fact doesn't cut it here.

Also let's not forget that this guy had 3 transfer windows at Juventus to operate. That's another fact.

Truth is that it’s way too early to completely write him off, especially because dealing with a major overhaul on a limited budget(limited as in without selling first) is never an easy task, there’s been some hits and miss, but then important to keep in mind is that he still has this upcoming winter mercatto to fix some things and put us in a better position to compete, only after it we’ll maybe have a clearer picture of what is to expect next…

Ultimately it will depend on how and where we finish the season though, this is arguably the first year where he is fully hands on in the squad building process.

What would you say 'fixing things' means in our case?

Probably a good place to start would be adding another CB to cover for Bremer’s injury, then one proper quality fullback and also an winger/striker for depth might be a must too.

What would ‘fixing things’ mean to you? Or are you of the opinion that everything is alright and nothing needs fixing.

I'd agree on the priority positions but there's more to it. Winter mercato usually ain't a very good time to be buying players 'though.

I'd prefer to not buy simple backups mostly and I don't think it's very realistic to do much / buy multiple players in the winter mercato without hugely overspending.

Management was very clear this week at the shareholders meeting. We had a 190m loss last season, want to break even as fast as possible and this season our target is to go through in the CL and to qualify for it again. So my guess would be 'fixing things' (if even necessary for that goal) will probably be limited to some 'market opportunity' CB.

Makes sense, will depend a lot on the circumstances i guess, only that i hope we’ll aim for slightly more this season too, which will only happen if we are actively seeking to seize some of our targets during this winter mercatto, even if it will obviously not be cheap at all.

Yeah, it will depend on a lot of factors but as it stands we're still in the race currently so if there is an opportunity, we should seize it...

What is his budget for the Winter Mercato?

 

[The Quazis]

Not sure why would anyone write him off. He made a brilliant Mercator with the resources he had.

Quarter of a billion of resources to be exact.

That number just keeps getting bigger and bigger

Jokes aside, it will. When we find out about agent fees.

You heard it here first.

Basically just money to buy Koop and the rest came from our own sales to be correct. Those guys need replacements...

There is no way Giuntoli had sales close to 200 million in the last transfer window.

It's enough to visit transfermarkt. Basically he bought Koop and Thuram. The rest were either loans or exchange deals.

You do know if it's a loan with obligation, it will come to bite you in the ass eventually, bro.

Exactly.

Wrong reasoning on every level. But might I add; he also lowered the salaries and therefor created budget space there.
