Who cares? That was 5 years ago. Who gives a shit anymore? Marchisio wasn't the 25 million Euro signing the previous year. Marchisio wasn't one of the players expected to lead the midfield that season. Marchisio wasn't the one that had the more robust CV up to that point.

You would hope that Melo would have had a better season than Marchisio that year.
It's not Melo's fault we were dumb enough to pay €25 mill for him. Melo wasn't expected to lead the midfield that season either as he was a huge flop in 2009/2010 but he picked himself up was our best midfielder the next season. But you are right, it's not relevant anymore.

So, in other words, it was a mistake to buy him?

Or was it a mistake to buy him for that amount?

That is true, that is not relevant, what is though, is his and contes downfall and their true values which are equal to shit.

Both. €25 mill was too much for him, and we could have gotten better players for that sum.

It's relevant to what Serg was saying. We paid €25 mill for him, fine but did he set his price himself? Conte is bigger than the club, so if you insult Conte you insult Juve.

So, were you one of those who were blasting Marotta for his inability to sell someone that anyone with an ounce of common sense could see that he was nowhere worth the price paid for him?

A price that Marotta himself did not pay?

Conte bigger then club? What the hell is that? If Del Piero, which is the biggest legend of the club, at least to those that lived the past 50 or so years, is not bigger then Juve then tell me how is this whinny coward bigger then the club? Because he left the club to shits when he left the club few days into the season?

I'm not sure how much weight "Being the best midfielder on a shitty Juve team" carries, but hey, whatever floats your collective boats.
Also considering midfield was one of our weaker areas.

In the previous season our best midfield combination was Melo-Sissoko.Could you imagine that ?
