What else would you want me or anybody to think? The only think original here is your Marrotta lovin'.
No but seriously, what are you holding against me? We've only discussed the possibility of a Licht sale and I've at no point said a striker won't come.
Is this the point where I call you a Marotta hater? Then you reply with what good work you think Marotta has done but how failure to sign a top striker will equate to a bad mercato and you think he should be sacked? And then I might repeat myself....?

You should, and you should make sure that you get the article from another source, so the article has been posted from four different sources.

Or neither.


A striker will come, I just don't think it is going to be either one of these two. in regards to Dzeko, there are too many moving parts to take place in order for it to happen. In regards to Llorente, Juve have set their price, which in all honesty is a very fair one for a striker who wants out on the last year of his contract. Comparisons to the RVP scenario cannot be made due to Van Persie being a better known name than Llorente.


I have this feeling that the striker will be coming from either the Bundesliga or Russia. Just a hunch, nothing more than that.
Sorta gotta agree with the Bolded.

It was up to Conte to reject them though, not Marotta, that was the whole point of his arrival and what he spoke about in his very first press conference. He wanted to have control over the players coming in and out of this club. Look at how Ziegler was discarded after only a few months.
Exactly, however it was Marrotta who had already put them on the market before Conte's arrival. Only goes to show Marrotta had worked independently up until that point, and we saw those results. Same goes for Ziegler, he was bought by Marrotta without Conte's consent before his arrival, and which is why he was offloaded as Conte saw he didn't fit his system.

I like to think of Dzeko in a Juve shirt, but it ain't happening. His wages are impossible to meet, and honestly, he'd be an idiot if he agrees on a huge pay cut.

Why would he be an idiot if he prefers playing over money?

He would still make millions here.

"Tomorrow [Wednesday] Llorente will speak to his destination,” Arino Bajo told Telegraph Sport. “It is very, very possible he will decide to go to the Premier League. I don’t know the [choice of] club at the moment but there are two [interested] clubs. One is in London, and one is in Manchester.”
"He wants to prove himself in another league. Are Juventus an option? Yes, that's a possibility," Bajo was quoted as saying by Corriere dello Sport.


Keep them all in the air, señor.

We were a good team last year. I see primarily the same starting 11 as last year despite a fulltime switch to the 352. Yes, he has built up our depth. Assuming all things remain the same, I think the most telling difference will continue to be up front. Which I believe was Marrotta's primary goal. So anything he did up until this point would be a bonus, we'll probably have the stamina to keep up our title challemge across three competitions, but the issues of last year will remain when the midfield will have to continue xreating 30 chances to get on the scoresheet. Its a very tangible issue that'll continue to plague us. This is not hate. But I for one, will definitely lose faith in his abilities.
