that is the somewhat similar situation we have with jovetic now, however, marotta's cv doesn't inspire confidence in me or many people here at the very least, that is is able to do that, and that is the point of all this.
There are certainly things in Juve's favour in the Jovetic deal.
However, Fiorentina would rather sell to anyone other than Juve and there are other teams out there prepared to make offers for Jovetic.
No-one else was interested in Balotelli and Man City were delighted to sell him for the first vaguely decent offer they got.
and why is it I wonder that we are unable to sell matri/quaq for even something like 5m each? if we are so desperate on getting quality attacker, yet we also need money booster for like just 10m to bring someone, why can't we just do that? the excuse that nobody in italy able to afford 5m forward is pretty much ridiculous, I bet the likes of parma, catania should be able to fund 5m fee...
You know that players need to be paid their wages and the transfer fee is not the only cost?
Matri is on 2.2m per year and Quagliarella is on 2.1m per year.
Now, you mention Parma and Catania; Catania's top earner is on 0.6m per year and Parma's is on 1m per year.
That's before getting into taxes.
Even someone like Lazio only has their top earner on something similar to what Matri and Quagliarella earn just now.
It ain't easy to sell these players within Italy just now.
Here's the GdS article I'm getting the numbers from:

It is based on figures from September 2012, so things may have changed a little, but you get the general idea.
