Federico “Maurice” Cherubini (35 Viewers)
- Thread starter Ronn
- Start date
Doing an awesome job so far. All three acquisitions are promising young players on great deals.
I'm a bit disappointed about the LB situation but I imagine that is more to lack of funds than anyone rating Sandro and Pellegrini.
Don't blame him for Arthur and Ramsey still being here because nobody is ever going to buy either of them.
If what Italiacalcio10 says is true, and we will be rich come next summer, I really can't wait to see what Cherubini can do when he actually has money to spend.
Also glad we didn't cave, panic and bring back an overpaid, over the hill Pjanic when it seemed like the Locatelli deal was slowing down. Was the right decision to keeppatient, keep their nerve and wear Sassuolo down with meetings.

75m from Ronaldo exit. Simply buying backup striker and calling it mercato chiuso would be very underwhelming.
Not much time left but needs to upgrade at least one if not two of LW/LM, LB, and regista/CDM.

Lol
You guys panicked big time with Locatelli didn't you, lmao
Let me guess, #CherubiniOut was trending
Need to revisit Pjanic thread for the lolz. Saw certain posters drooling over signing him for free not too long ago, still saying better than Arthur lol.

What a deal maker this guy is, I'm impressed so far considering the circumstances. Could you imagine what it'll be like once this guy actually has some financial power to move around with??
Still too early to praise him or criticize him. Very small sample size plus we are yet to see how the new signings will turn out.
Loads of people were jerking off to Tici's mercato last summer. The usual suspects banging on about how he reduced 'average age' of the squad and all that jazz.
Imo we need to calm down a bit with the praises.

Far, far from impressed by everything Cherubini has shown so far.
The most positive thing is Locatelli, by far. Good deal financially, it took a bit of time but it was worth it. I consider Ihattaren as a good deal aswel, he’s regarded as a great talent who after the loss of his father quite recently, seemed to had his struggles mentally. For the price and risk I think we made a great deal. Kaio Jorge is impossible to judge, but young and cheap so I’ll see this as something positive. I’m happy with Kean to altough I think that we overpaid a bit.
Then Ronaldo as it’s a different case. I’ve been neutral on his departure all summer as I wanted to see who’d replace him. The timing has been horrible, accepting a financial loss even more. Basically there are only financial advantages now.
What really bothers me the most, is that we ignored our midfielders again. So many urgent sells; Rabiot, Ramsey, Bentancur, Bernardeschi and we failed to find a solution for all of them. Add De Sciglio and Rugani to the mix you just know we’ll face the same struggles again. Vicious circle
Rugani who couldn’t impress in France and at Cagliari replaced Demiral. No immediate financial benefits, and after Romero it’s a embarrassment to be honest. I can’t understand it.
The defense didn’t improve, midfield has something extra with Loca, but far from what it should be while having 4 talented midfielders out on loan (Rovella, Fagioli, Ranocchia, Ihattaren), attack downgraded, Ronaldo is superior to Kean.
And if it wasn’t for Pellegrini saying no to a loan, De Sciglio would be Sandro’s replacement. Incredible that we have to witness that in 21/22.

This mercato almost passed but we hardly improved and given the state of the team Allegri must become a miracle worker if we want anything from this season.
Also, Allegri is our biggest signing this mercato, I just hope he'll find a way to bring back the mentality and get the best out of the team, like he used to.
If we put everything into perspective, this was inevitable, it was about time to pay for all those bad decisions we (lord) made earlier. We can only hope that we will somehow recover financially and will be able to get rid of at least of a few deadweights we have in the future.
In what world can Cherubini be at fault for not finding a solution for Ramsey and the like?
He did not make any of those deals, there are absolutely no clubs interested in those players and the only thing he could have done is take a major loss on them, same thing he is criticized for Ronaldo's transfer.
You think he would not like to swap out garbage for an amazing midfielder somewhere?
We cannot afford to get players on top of current ones, we need to ride it out and hope either our garbage starts looking decent under Allegri and someone wants them or they become less of a burden over the years and we can take a smaller loss on them.
This is what I kept telling people who wanted to get rid of CR at all costs because he is too expensive - with or without him Juve does not have money. 5-10 players who earn combined what Ronaldo did are a much bigger problem than he ever was.
This is a new cycle, Cherubini cannot be judged for two additional summers at least. We will be limited to 1-2 players per mercato until this mess gets cleared up. And the solution is not to get new players on top of current ones because you are going in circles then and would need to sell Chiesa or De Ligt to cover for that because guess what - nobody will touch our garbage.
Sure, we might end up selling them anyways if a crazy offer comes, but at least we do not have to sell them under price because of other issues now.
