So as it stands we are selling Diego and one of Trez/IQ. What are we going to be doing with A.) that money from the transfers and B.) the money that we may still have left over? (if we have any).

That is some pretty significant wage structure freed up for us to do something big?

Di natale and Aquilani is not even fuckin close to the "GIFT" we expected....especially for toto. Right now for me personally..letting diego stay will i considered as that GIFT
Even Aquilani is loaned so he doesn't count as a gift. As for "toto", I don't want someone who only came to light when he became 30 to ply for us, he will always be a mediocre-club player. We saw what happened when he played at euro2008 and the last WC. Hell, he doesn't even want to play for us.

I kinda get what they feel. When someone falls in love for a football club, it's because of it's philosophy. The spirit of the team and it's players. The club's identity both on and off the pitch. Once that is gone/replaced with something different (better/worse), it's natural people start questioning/feeling differently about the club. Think about the Manchester United/FC United story.
I won't be surprised to hear people saying they've lost their interest in Juventus.
I know I won't lose mine, but I also won't condemn people who can't relate to the club's way of doing things anymore for doing it.

That being said, it's still too soon yet to know/judge what Juventus is becoming.
Great post man. That's why I hate Leaf fans. They all support the team, even though management cares nothing about winning championships. They never buy Superstars and that's because people fill the arena every single night, even tho they lose every single night. Montreal fans are bthe best in the world cause they are the opposite. Montreal doesnt put a good team on the ice, fans wont support the team. Suppoorting a team when they do shit is WRONG.

With that said though, to not support the team cause they are thinking of selling one player is retarded lol.

The thing is that we have to look not just at this campaign but next year's and maybe the year after. Right now Marotta is cleaning up a mess. What if he's eyeing someone else in next year's market that plays the same spot as Diego?

Diego plays a prime position on the field and he's not a superstar. If we build the team around him then we are only going to go as far as he takes us. He can only play in one formation right? A 4-2-3-1. He tries in the 4-4-1-1 but I don't see him having success against teams that are better than Shamrock and Sturm Graz.

So if we have a player that can only play 4-2-3-1 and he is not a superstar then what do we really have?

This is a major point and I think this is getting overlooked. If we want to play 4-2-3-1 then we cannot buy a trequartista because Diego is there. If we want to play 4-4-2 then we can't buy a SS because Diego is there.

Basically, we have to play those formations with Diego there and we can't bring anyone else in. Now you have to ask yourselves is he good enough to prevent us from buying other players in those positions?
More I think about it, more I want them to sell Diego. Great post man.

I hate to be negative toward a poster buddy, but there are several pretty big leaps you've taken above. Right now, we're about to sell Diego WELL below what we paid for him; even if we got 20M, we're still out 5M. That alone is poor business.

Beyond that, where did you get the idea that Diego can only play in one formation? That's simply not true.

Then you start talking about how the one position he can play is a 4-2-3-1, and say that if we want to buy a treq for that formation, then we can't because Diego is there... but you just said that's the position he can play. What?

Anyway, we're not going to be playing those formations... not with this coach.

Finally, I have no idea how you can say that you "don't see him having success against teams that are better than Shamrock and Sturm Graz" when it's the beginning of the year, he has a ton of new teammates, and he's adjusting to a new position. That's the very definition of a knee jerk reaction.

Edit: I edited this because I misinterpreted one of your points, but I still largely disagree with what you've said.
Edit#2: Mr. Beck, Bjerknes makes an excellent point about the 4-2-3-1 and the 4-4-1-1 being very similar formations, with some minor differences, such as the responsibilities for the wingers...
