Depends how you interpret the term 'champion', I suppose.. Champion, as in, has won trophies? Okay, fair play for those two. Champion as in top class, indispensable players? Then only the latter applies, and he's out 'til next year.

Secco said we would sign 3 "Champions" in our first season back from B and they were Andrade, Tiago and Iaquinta, then he promised another one who turned out to be Amauri.
It seems the term Champion is used very lightly in Italy.
We don't have champions? No shit! He spent the whole summer signing average players and now he tells us we don't have champions.
I like Marotta, atleast he's honest.
I honestly wonder what players like Chiellini and Buffon think about this? I feel sorry for them, especially Buffon who's name should always be associated with winning. Do they really want to spend their best years in a team with no ambition of winning year after year?
A lot of average players would spit blood for the team, it won't make them any better.
Ah, anyway, this discussion is boring and whats happened has happened and now the transfer window is closed, lets hope the quality that this team already has in Krasic, Marchisio and Chiellini can carry the team.
I don't think honesty would be a great quality for Juve's general manager. Just as being stupidly ambitious isn't.
Him making comments like "we don't have champions or we're not a title worthy squad" is as destructive as Secco saying we will be 4 title contenders.
We need an opportunist smartass not an honest one.
I really hope he set his eyes on two full backs and a left winger. That's all. I don't want him stretching the budget and making exceptions or buying a large quantity of average players again.
