You tell em Deneb. Those Marotta supporters and apologists, the elitist members of the "society" are just as ignorant, delusional, and annoying as the whiners.

@ swag, i wont fight it too much, but its pretty clear for everyone to see marotta is provinciale and he has to thank his lucky star cassano was in one of his teams and felt like playing.
Not that I want to be in the habit of defending Marotta, but look at what he has to operate with. No CL. No EL even. A team with a 7th place finish and no signs of turning that around soon. About the only upside he's got is history and a new stadium.
Just about anybody in that position is going to go from negotiating Nani --> Alex Chamberlain --> Panagiotis Kone.
Why do you do that? Did I say that? You know exactly what I mean. I've said plenty of times that I like the signings of Licht and Vidal. But stop starring at the smaller picture and see the bigger one. This team is lacking good players and its filled with players that are "good enough".

I don't get you Jay. You're a cool member and all but you seem to think everything is good when its not and you've been wrong for more than 2 years now. You're never critical when it comes to Juventus? I know you don't want to moan but why not just call them like you see them? Surely there has been plenty of stuff you didn't like.

I know, but we have a difference of opinion as to what level of player we can attract right now. You might say Agüero and Benzema, but Lichtsteiner, Vidal and Vucinic are more what I expected and those to me are good enough to get us top 3 with the right team. This is the clincher: will the other areas of the team that need addressing be addressed? This could decide the season, and I'll say the same as anyone, if they are clear weak areas and not filled then the director takes the blame. Whether you want €25m player, €15m player there or €10m there is open to opinion, we get the right players we have a good team.

my argument was to debunk the claim that this is some amazing good deal, and i ll see your question and raise you how many teams were going after licht?
