Our biggest signing this season was keeping Vidal.

At the same time they laugh at Milan.

A perfect 10? You gotta stop hitting that "management juice" Bro

7/10 is a tad generous, considering we have't really improved shit, and added some depth options (I shall grant you that). 6/10 thus far.

I'm gonna continue hitting that juice bro as so far I have enjoyed watching free Llorente, 15m Tevez, free Pirlo, free Pogba, 11m Vidal, 11m Licht, 15m Asamoah, 500k Barzagli, etc...

The funny part in this fierce defense from marotta puppets arguing we've added depth, is that he was supposedly doing the exact same thing last mercato. And people were bragging about how we have the best depth.
So either he has failed to do so last year by adding a bunch of mediocre sh!t to our bench OR he's going after the wrong objectives now, since he's already added to our depth in the previous years.
Bottom line is this guy is exhausting our resources on rotational players all the time. And if finally after 10 transfer windows he manages to make a quality bench for us, that doesn't change the fact that he's sucked us dry in the process.

Last year we added two very good players in our attack, Llorente and Tevez; undisputed starters since. Year before we got Asamoah and Pogs, while the latter wasn't considered top player at that time, very quickly he replaced Marchisio from the starting line-up and now we're looking at +70m player. Summer of 2011 there were players like Licht, Vidal, Pirlo, Vucinic, etc... all of which immediately improved our starting eleven. Therefore it simply has no truth to the statement of Marotta acquiring bench players year after year, while looking at our dealings in the last 3 seasons there is evident improvement of our starting personnel. You don't need 30m signing to make certain team better, and with what was given to him, all things considering he did his job admirably.

He has, "Romulo is predominantly a central midfielder",
so is Asamoah and Padoin, in a 4-3-3- variation the CMs cannot be used as wingbacks with the same efficiency.
If a RB is what we need, why dont we buy a dedicated RB instead?
We got him because he can only play in the midfield. And his age means that we will use him right away, whilst Maronne and Coman might wait.
It is highly unlikely that Romulo will sub Licht, so he might be fielded as midfielder, just like Padoin does, only this year, if the man midle becomes a three man midle, Asamoah will be used more in the midfield, less and less opportunities will appear for the young ones and when one would opt to tie die a game until its over without risks, he will use the experienced Romulo/Asamoah/Marchisio/Padoin, rather than risking the youngsters.

Romulo was completely uneeded, his acquisition shows our intentions and this is the kind of practice that is been using in serie A most of the times.
Again, this is only a parameter of of the utter disaster this transfer means.
The fact that we are further growing our squad,will also hurt us in the long run, esp next year when we will want to add big wage players.
Also we are wasting around cash that could be used for great players and was available to this year's budget, all the money we have wasted around could have got us two starters. The money was there, the ammount we commited for the first of the three installments of all those crappy players and their collective wages could afford us a Jovetic or a Sanchez, the depth was already there, the cash was there and this transfer prooves we have chosen a different path, the Sampdoria path, rather than the Juventus path.
This is why Conte left...

You really need to start watching more Serie A games apart from Juve, notice some players from other teams, their characteristics along with their potential, and then you just might make more sense.

Very good point.I agree with every word.Plus,I will add.Lot's of our success was due to Conte and his ultra hard work and his DNA and authority.He pushed the players over their limits more than several times.
The result of that is that we won 1-0 in many matches in the final minutes(Udinese home game 93 minute) and other games.I just don't understand how, after three years we simply don't have a proper cash to bring someone relevant.I am not speaking about 60 mil. aquisition but a needed player not a bench warmer.Roma brings Iturbe we bring Pereyra .Roma buys 7 players and sells no one we buy just average players to fill the bench gap.More or less the same goes to Napoli.This three years we got one ultra effective motivator in Conte.So he fills the gap in quality.But this year without reinforcements we will suck.I do not mean CL.It is a fantasy football but also in Serie A.Wait and look what a slow start Allegri will have.THis is not a right plan.I object Conte for timing for his departure but otherwise he was right ,do we like that or not as a fans.

I love how these people and B81 now call our mercato pathetic. Same people were convinced we had to sell Pogba and or Vidal after going out in CL groupstage


Also, B81, we got an excellent frontline. 'who apart from out two great strikers'. Lets not be spoiled shall we

Vidal, Llorente, Tevez score alot of goals

Add Pogba and new signing Morata, and its gonna be even better

The funny part in this fierce defense from marotta puppets arguing we've added depth, is that he was supposedly doing the exact same thing last mercato. And people were bragging about how we have the best depth.
So either he has failed to do so last year by adding a bunch of mediocre sh!t to our bench OR he's going after the wrong objectives now, since he's already added to our depth in the previous years.
Bottom line is this guy is exhausting our resources on rotational players all the time. And if finally after 10 transfer windows he manages to make a quality bench for us, that doesn't change the fact that he's sucked us dry in the process.

What? Last year we primarily added Tevez and Llorente, starters. Not depth. The only bench signing was Ogbonna.

And if you really think we didn't need a quality back-up CM after last season, or another striker now that Vucinic and Quagliarella have been sold (something pretty much everyone was rightfully demanding), I really don't know how to argue with you.

I'd give the Mercato a solid 7/10 so far overall. What really brings the score down is Moratas buy back-clause, but I'd argue that we have done a real good job selling deadweight and reducing the wage bill.

People saying we are a top 8 team in Europe and have lots of firepower upfront, need a reality Check.
Didn't score vs the danes Gala or benfica while needed pirlos magic vs fiorentina. We hardly set the world on fire in the cl or the el. But in cl or el we haven't shown anything nearly for a decade.
Bayern dortmund barca Real Atlético Top 4 epl Psg and other teams like Sevilla Porto benfica have done much much more than us in Europe. We r def not a Top 8 Team... We Need to consistently get to the quarter finals in Cl to be cosidered such

Exactly right, they can't have it both ways.

I am actually starting to find it amazing, the creativity some members have to come up with excuses is fascinating. I am sure that Juventus can hire these members to take care of their press releases.

Just making it clear i'm not one of Marotta's puppets and i'm not really satisfied with where this mercato is going. In fact, my guts tell me we'll have a very average season with the lack of creativity on buld ups and counterattacks. We'll still keep struggling everytime Pirlo isn't in the pitch.

Marotta has done good this time in bringing and building a stronger bench and getting rid of the dead weight but is failing to see that we need 1 or 2 truly skilled players who can add to the creativity department if we are to go anywhere this season.

 

[JCK]

He got rid of the dead weight and brought in new dead weight. How is that good?

 

[zizinho]

he didnt get new dead weight, he got better and younger players and improved us. and the mercato is still on...

 

[CrimsonianKing]

Not quite. Evra and Romulo are far better than what we had on the bench in the last 3 seasons. Morata is yet to be seen and so is Pereyra.

 

[Vlad]

Allegri won't hesitate to use one of these newly arrived players, unlike last year when our bench looked rather thin. It was frustrating to see last year the likes of Vidal, Pirlo or Pogba not getting any rest and that might have hindered our European progress. Indeed, there is still plenty of time left.

you've never watched morata, perreyra play, and i am certain outside of juve's matches with verona you have never watched romlu play, so how would you know

that's my whole point

 

[Cronios]

you can say that again...

 

[donpiero]

that's my whole point

And there lies the problem. He seems to have a fetish in buying these kind of risky entities. And the fact of the matter is that only 1 in 4-5 of these risks pay off. So we end up being a deadweight recycling company.

 

[Lion]

but how do you know this if you havent watched any of them play? how can you pass judgement on them?
