Marotta on mercato:

Diego, is a great player but dosn't fit into our 442

another striker: we weren't interested in anyone else besides Dzeko, Boriello it seemed a great opportunity

Diego benched Ale, & looked great pre-season as SS. If he struggled in a game or 2, not a prob, Ale is sitting on the bench to work some magic.

No-one except Dzeko?? Stupid stance to have. 1 non-EU tranfers allowed, so surely there were other options out there. Especially considering he knew that Dzeko wouldn't come cheap, so the cash must've been there to fund an Aguero, Benzema or whoever...!

Juventus Director Giuseppe Marotta In Backlash Against Transfer Market Critics
Giuseppe Marotta claims Juventus' transfer market was tiptop after critics wielded the axe against his choices.

Juventus general director Giuseppe Marotta has defended his handy work on the transfer market, insisting it was copious and admirable as he responds to the critics that have questioned business.

Perhaps Juve's biggest critic was former player Diego, now of Wolfsburg, who slammed the club's movements and claimed Marotta's work would lead to failure.

However, the Italian is sticking firmly behind his movements and explained why Juve will benefit from his decisions.

"This is not about losing operations. We maintained control over young players and we brought in some interesting stars," he told Tuttosport.

"The objective was to evaluate and bring out a champion from this group. We acquired 11 players, basically a team, four of those are all involved with their national teams.

"The aim was to renew the team with talent and experience."

Juventus were blamed for not doing enough to bring Edin Dzeko, but Marotta has blamed the failure on German resistance.

"Dzeko? He could have made the difference and we did all we could to bring him, but Dieter Hoeness didn't want to know.

"We tried to land him in the Diego deal, but the Germans didn't want to know. As for Diego, he is a great champion, but doesn't fit into our 4-4-2."

I hope he means in a Diego deal not, the Diego deal. By then we had bought Krasic, hence no more non-EU players.

Babysteps guys.. Biggest regret is Giovinco. Hopefully he'll be back.

Imagine..

Storari
Motta Bonucci Chiellini De Ceglie
Melo Marchisio
Aquilani
Krasic Amauri Giovinco

or even
Storari
Motta Bonucci Chiellini De Ceglie
Krasic Melo Aquilani Pepe
Amauri Giovinco

Oh well..

 

[Cirillo]

I think that proves as much as anything else that the Diego deal was never "off". And if that was the case then Del Neri would have known all along and he was lying when he said that Diego would stay and using his words in the media as a smoke screen.

 

[Kosta]

Amateur.

 

[Hust]

And honestly, who fucking cares who we bought as long as we get CL. Once we get that than we can worry about where our team is going and who it's buying. This team assembled is purely for a top 4 finish...even if it's 4th. It wasn't built to win the league, that would have taken much more money than we have.

We took a HUGE cut in our finances, spent wisely and will sell even more players next year....plus if we get CL, do well in the league (EL), and with the money saved by slashing big salaries we will have a lot of money + the new rule that would only let Agnelli chip in 15m out of pocket. We have a young team with a lot of players with potential and class (Buffon, Chiellini, Motta, Bonucci, Aquilani, Melo, Krasic, Quag.) So we need 3-4 top class players starting with Dzeko hopefully to lead the way. I say in two years time with as young as our team is we will be back or DAMN CLOSE to the top and competing for it. All the while, this new rule is going to kill teams like Inter/Milan with debt and their owners can't spend lavishly anymore. It will be a time for clubs to live within their means, something we already run the league in. When Milan/Inter are forcing to spend in Italy or on less lavish players we will have a groundwork laid from the summer of 2010.

He went from trying to land Dzeko in the Diego deal to selling him for 15 million?

And why the fuck didn't he just sell Sissoko instead of Diego?

 

[JuveJay]

Can you read? Diego doesn't fit in their 4-4-2, Sissoko quite clearly does.

 

[baggio]

Unless Moggi recommended Marotta to Agnelli, I dont see why he'd have blind faith in this guy.

 

[Bjerknes]

Marotta on mercato:

we got 11 players and 4 of them are part of the national team

Did he really make that point? So he just signed players because of their Azzurri status?

I'm shocked.

What a lie

The coach thinks that Diego fits there and actually plays him there ahead of a well proven support striker that is Del Piero, but Marotta thinks Diego didn't fit there and that's why he sold him?

I don't like this guy

Indeed, and neither do I.

It is all because Diego is not Italian, Marrota is Nationalist.

Probably.

 

[Buck Fuddy]

Unless Moggi recommended Marotta to Agnelli, I dont see why he'd have blind faith in this guy.

Sounds fair.

That is the most idiotic thing in Serie A and one thing I envy to EPL. The coach should decide who to sell and who to buy. Marotta and the likes should just go to negotiations and talks prices.

Blog: Marotta must be judged fairly

Beppe Marotta hardly set the transfer market alight, but Antonio Labbate calls for understanding when judging the Juventus official
Pick up today’s La Gazzetta dello Sport and Juventus reject Diego will tell you that Beppe Marotta has been unsuccessful in his attempts to rebuild the Old Lady of Italian football. “Marotta decided to sell me because he just wants Italians and that is the wrong road to go down,” he warned. “Juventus have made a mistake with their signings, a lot of good players have arrived but no champions.”

Frustration, bitterness, disappointment, no matter what fuelled the Brazilian’s outburst, there does seem to be a consensus amongst a large part of the Italian footballing media that Marotta has somehow failed. But what exactly has he failed to do? That depends on what was asked of him.

“We needed to achieve three things,” Marotta reveals in an interview with today’s Tuttosport. “Reduce the age of the squad, but with players who have experience at high levels, renew the atmosphere around the club and lower the wage bill.”

While the identity of the players he has signed were never going to win widespread approval, the former Sampdoria official seems to have achieved what he set out to. The average age of those sold was 29.25, whereas the average age of his signings was 25.6.

With 11 new players brought in and 12 gone, many of whom were survivors from the Calciopoli days, there is new air being breathed around Vinovo. And when it comes to salaries, Juve have managed to shift €52m worth of wages for 2010-11, with the new arrivals only set to cost them €29m over the next 12 months.

The reality is that Marotta was not charged with building a title contender because he didn’t have the funds to do so. His acquisition methods over the last few months confirm as much. While true that €56m was spent, it is significant that €40m was recouped, while Alberto Aquilani, Marco Motta, Simone Pepe, Fabio Quagliarella and Leandro Rinaudo were netted on loan with 2011 buy-out clauses that almost total an additional €43m.

With no Champions League funds to spend and no Champions League action to attract the so-called stars who critics are bemoaning the lack of, Marotta’s hands were tied. All he could do was build the foundations of a team for a bright future from a squad that only had a glorious past.

While it’s legitimate to question some of Marotta’s dealings, such as the €12m swoop for Jorge Martinez, the sacrifice of Diego, the late sale of David Trezeguet and the decision to solve the left-back problem with Armand Traore, it would be somewhat harsh and inappropriate to condemn him at this time. After all, he hasn’t just spent €24m on Felipe Melo.

Unfortunately for Marotta, the events of the last seven days have muddied his work. The rejections of Antonio Di Natale, Nicolas Burdisso and Marco Borrielllo, combined with the 1-0 loss at Bari and Milan’s late market work, have forced pundits to reassess Juventus’ transfer strategy.

Only the season ahead can accurately judge the work of Marotta though, a man who needs more than 60 days to reconstruct a giant of the European game. A top four finish will be the aim this season and then Marotta may well just be in a position to show us what he is really capable of on the transfer market.

 

[only-juve]

Like i've said before, we sold Diego so that we balance our books. Marotta can say whatever he wants to the media (that Diego doesn't fit our formation ) but its pretty clear that the Diego deal happened mainly because we needed cash.

 

[Zacheryah]

Take a look at milan

for years now they where poor on the transfermarket, because they had massive wages, taking all the budget, leaving no money for transfers

this year, apparently silvio corruptosconi opened his walled


juve, got rid of like 52 million of wages, only has 20 mil on the new players, and because of sales, we didnt spend to much in transfers


because of the loans, we can decide to not take the player at the end of the year, and lose like half of those 20 mil wages

what does this means ?
when we qualify for champions league, we have alot of room in the wage budged, alot of cash for new players that replace those we send back from loan.
and mostly, with champions league comming, we can attrack star players that demand champions league


give del neri and marotta time, support the team towards champions league qualification

forza juve !

 

[VicCB]

Honestly, I want us to do poorly so this person can leave Juve. Selling Diego is a massive mistake and this person's philosophy is not something that goes according to what I believe. Yes, it'd be painful to miss out on CL again, but it'd be better in the long run to get rid of incompetent nationalists like Marotta.

 

[Salvatore]

"Honestly, I want us to do poorly"

 

[VicCB]

"Honestly, I want us to do poorly"

What is wrong with that? I explained the reason why, it'd be painful but it'd be better than limping along with Marotta and his italian transfers.

 

[IrishZebra]

. After all, he hasn’t just spent €24m on Felipe Melo.

That just made my day.
