It's a little strange that parts of this interview can be found on juventus.com (check it), but not a single word about Diego there.
There's something doesn't seem quite right about some of the quotes attributed to Marotta.

Do you really think he said that the fans should 'Watch out for some of the other names in the papers, as there could be a few surprises coming to Juve.'?

Sounds like media BS to me, so that they can be free to make up any rumour they want and people might actually believe it.

I thought the same thing. He would never say anything about our signings and he definetly would not say he would like to sell Diego, unless the deal was already done.

Classic bs

Amateurish move. Keep these comments in house.

Hopefully Tuttosport are misquoting him and/or taking it out of context, because it would be a big mistake to sell Diego after just 1 season.
I don't know if they do, but Tuttosport are indeed a newspaper that would do it.

Something like:

What about Diego?
He is a great player we count on for the future.

But he can't play in 4-4-2, can he?
He can play in many other formations, maybe he can't play his best football in 4-4-2, but who says that's the formation we will use?

Del Neri loves 4-4-2.
He's a flexible coach. Of course, Del Neri’s tactical requirements have the priority and Juve aren't a team that rely on one player, but I repeat, we count on Diego and nobody said that we will play 4-4-2.

But tell us clear, do you think that Diego can play 4-4-2?
I don’t think it will be a problem. The Brazilian can play in many formations, and he fits in the 4-4-2 too.

So you won't sell him?
We don't plan to.

Even for 100 million euro?
If faced with an impressive offer, like the one you mentioned, I believe we could think about it and maybe even sell him, but I'd rather keep him here.

There :D

I hope he's ben misquoted about diego. I think this guy deserves another chance. He only "flopped" because the collective did.

Also loving the quote:
"Watch out for some of the other names in the papers, as there could be a few surprises coming to Juve"

Smokescreens back in fashion. Lovely to see out transfer director playing the media!

this is what the official site says...


Marotta: «We must restore faith to the ambience»

«Our first commitment is to restore faith to the ambience. The team value is mighty, of great level. Therefore we’ll bargain to give the trainer a team able to go on the pitch and win in any circumstance».

Beppe Marotta has clear in mind which way to go to relaunch Juventus. Sport Department General Manager spoke about it during an interview for Sky Sport, in which he spoke of the many players drawn near Juventus by newspapers in the last days: « Dzeko is a very good player, we already knew it, and most of European Clubs set their eyes on him. The price? It depends on demands. Ribery? His renewal with Bayern is a clear way to say he’ll stay in Monaco. Palombo and Pazzini? Two very good players, in fact they are in the National Team. But Garrone said that Samp is not a supermarket and therefore I don’t believe they will arrive to Juventus».

About rumors concerning Atletico Madrid’s interest on David Trezeguet, Marotta flatly denies: «There is no demand». Finally, regarding negotiations with Udinese for Pepe, Candreva and Motta: «Starting a conversation is a very normal fact, in the “hot phase” of the season. For Pepe we started a negotiation».

nothing about Diego. but who knows?! we'll just have to wait for September 1st.

Marotta: 'Diego doesn't fit at Juve' Sunday 6 June, 2010

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Juventus are ready to sell Diego because “he does not fit into Gigi Del Neri’s 4-4-2,” confirmed director general Beppe Marotta.

There had been question marks over the Brazilian after a poor debut season in Serie A, especially as the trequartista has struggled to find his tactical place.


“There are offers for Diego,” Marotta told Tuttosport. “Del Neri’s tactical requirements have the priority and I don’t think the Brazilian fits into the 4-4-2.


“Faced with an impressive offer, I believe we could sell him. Watch out for some of the other names in the papers, as there could be a few surprises coming to Juve.


“However, Gianluigi Buffon and Alessandro Del Piero are not for sale. They are symbols of the club and essential reference points for the younger players.”


The Bianconeri must go through the preliminary round to reach the Europa League after only finishing in seventh place.


“When you are at Juventus, it is your duty to never settle,” insisted Marotta. “We will build a Scudetto-winning side, or at least will try to.


“I consider Inter to be a step above the rest, even without Jose Mourinho. They are the number one club in Europe and got there step by step, building the foundations over the years. It proved to be a winning formula.”

Because it's a direct quote from Marotta.
Because this time they actually quoted Marotta, it isnt just a rumour
Yeah right, we also had quotes of Marotta and Del Neri where both of them said that Diego is great player, that we count on him and he will adapt to our formation...


For me that's just another media BS, and I really can't believe that Marotta would say something like that in such a direct way...
