Yea, this is what Marotta said: "Innanzitutto continuando a investire sui giovani, meglio se italiani. Da sempre la Juventus è il serbatoio della Nazionale, vogliamo continuare ad esserlo."
Well, tbh, there is nothing much different in this statement compared to what every other Juve board was saying. Investing in young players, better if they're Italians, being the main source of NT players etc.
I think I read some different quote about ItalJuve, but it might have been this same one, translated to English, with words taken out of context.

Thanks for providing the quote.

How so? What he's saying is the truth, the management did come out several times and say that he was in there plans, before they got rid of him. It was betrayal at it's finest, regardless how good diego actually was, and don't get me started with the whole giovinco incident :sergio:
Betrayal :lol2:

Non ci va per il sottile il fantasista brasiliano Diego, ceduto dalla Juventus al Wolsfburg.

L'ex juventino lancia frasi pesanti sulla sua vecchia dirigenza: "Delneri mi disse 'fai parte del mio progetto' a maggio e poi dopo il trofeo Tim ed io ero felicissimo, ma guardai Marotta e capii che stava lavorando in un'altra direzione, stava facendo di tutto per vendermi. Marotta aveva deciso di vendermi, lui vuole solo italiani ma questa è una strada sbagliata. La Juventus ha sbagliato campagna acquisti, sono arrivati tanti buoni giocatori ma nessun campione.

Poi altra stoccata contro Marotta che lo ha ceduto per 16 milioni di euro: 'La mia cessione ha provocato un grave danno economico alla società. Se Marotta si fosse comportato in modo diverso con me avremmo gestito insieme la partenza e la Juve avrebbe incassato molti soldi in più. Marotta non sa trattare con i campioni con me e Trezeguet non si è comportato bene".
------------

basically he says, that Marrotta wants a team with only italians. He says that Del Neri told him after the TIM cup that he should stay with juve and he was so happy for that. but at the same time Marrotta was planning to sell him.
he says that Juve bought good players but no champions.
And finaly Marrotta could have earned more for Diegos transfer, but Marrotta can not handle with champions..





-----------

true ture..
Actually I think that Marotta still didn't show that he can handle big transfers and stars.
We didn't have a single "big" purchase and we have lost 10 mil on our last year's biggest one.

Sour grapes and I'm pretty sure that Diego wasn't sold just because he isn't Italian, but there is something in this sentence that I fear is true.

The ItalJuve revolution, strong concentration on Italian players is something that our board did admit, isn't it? And just like Diego, I too think that RIGHT NOW it is a wrong way to go.
And in order to create an ItalJuve, a team with 8-9 Italians in the starting line-up and as many or more on the bench, we will indeed have to get rid of many non-Italians and buy Italians in their place.

Right now we have only 8 non-Italians in the 25 men squad. In 2008/09 we had 14. Even in serie B we had more than 8 non-Italians. The last time we had 8 or less foreigners was in 1996/97, and it was only because there was a limit on non-Italians a couple of years ago and teams still didn't have a chance to buy many foreigners. After that Moggi started bringing quality foreigners which made the team strong.

As for the 8 non-Italians that we have, 1 is a 3rd choice goalkeeper, Salihamidzic won't really get to play, Grygera is a bench player, Traore is on loan and probably a sub to De Ceglie. I doubt that we will have less than 8 Italians in the first team. It feels as if it's 1994 when only 3 non-Italians could play at the same time.
Great post, +non-EU

Also to add to that...the great players and superstars of the team that people remember are the non-Italians

Platini.
Zidane.
Davids.
Nedved.
Trezeguet.

Diego blasts Juve’s Marotta
Thursday 2 September, 2010
Juventus reject Diego has attacked director general Beppe Marotta for his transfer dealings over the summer.

Diego was one of numerous players shipped out of the club by the official after Marotta, who arrived from Sampdoria at the end of last term, was asked to rebuild the Old Lady.

Although Diego was seemingly sold for tactical reasons as he didn’t fit in Gigi Del Neri’s 4-4-2 system, he’s told the Gazzetta dello Sport that Marotta and not the Coach is to blame for his exit.

“Del Neri told me that I was a part of the project in May and also after the Trofeo TIM and that made me happy,” he said.

“However, I looked at Marotta and understood that he was working in another direction. He was doing everything possible to sell me.”

Diego was sold last week to Wolfsburg for an initial €15m, just a year after Juve paid Werder Bremen €24m for his services.

“My sale has cost the club financially,” the Brazilian added. “Marotta doesn’t know how to treat champions like myself and David Trezeguet.

“If Marotta had comported himself in a different manner with me then we both could have worked on a move and Juve would have netted more money.”

Not only did Diego criticise Marotta for his own sale, but he also blasted the transfer guru for his overall mercato strategy.

“Marotta decided to sell me because he wants just Italians and that is the wrong road to go down,” he warned.

“Juventus have made a mistake with their signings, a lot of good players have arrived but no champions.”
I had to laugh there.

Hopefully in 10 years we'll be talking of the great Pepe & Rinaudo!

The men who carried Juventus to the 10/11 Serie A title!

I had to bold the whole sentence as he put his name beside Trez'. Seriously, does he think that high of himself to even compare himself and his small and unworthy history at Juve to that of Trez?

He said "champions like Camo and Trez". He wasn't talking about himself. But whoever translated that from Italian had to make it look as if Diego mentioned his name beside Trez.

"Marotta non si è comportato bene con me e con i campioni della Juventus come Camoranesi o Trezeguet " (Marotta has not behaved well towards me and towards champions like Camoranesi and Trezeguet)

It's all true.

He's right and he's saying everything most people are saying. What do we want him to say? Nothing? Marotta is building a team full of Italians and Marotta is signing a lot of mediocre players.

King Ale,

Honestly, you're really exaggerating with the whole "Diego is not a good player", he is a good player, you could see that when he had the ball. He would have been so much better next season, he'd know what to expect and he'd know Italian football much better. And with the help from Krasic and Aquilani and a better, not leaking defense he would have looked so much better on the field. He's still better than all of our offensive players.

Why do we always have to hate on players who leave?

If I were given an opportunity to go back somewhere that I had my greatest successes, absent from media criticism that I faced for almost a year, and with a significant pay raise to boot, what exactly would I have to be upset about?

I never said he is not a good player. He was probably the best one we had this season in attack. He is the nearest to the world class level at our team but he is not one yet. I read that he called himself a champion by putting his name beside Trez' and I couldn't help laughing.

As for the small and unworthy history at Juve, well I think I'm right :D

I wasn't the happiest in the world when we sold him. It pissed me off too as I was hopeful he could have finally shown his talent like he did in Werder but I'm just not the type of fan who takes every chance to mourn over the decisions that have been made. He is gone and as unfortunate as it was, it's not like we have lost our savior. I'm sorry, but his first season with us can't help the case either.
