Ofcourse they can't.But I don't know what convinced them that Khedira who's had his problems for the past two yrs could replace Vidal.
At first I was positive about the replacements but Marotta has only piled up more quantity in our midfield while letting go off two players who were pillars of our midfield for 3-4 yrs despite having a bad last yr.
The midfield rejuvenation job has been done rather poorly.It's the worst par of our team now.It's clearly an error from Marotta.

I've never seen him as Vidal's replacement, more like Pirlo's. Adding more bodies to the midfield since maestro was bound to leave and Khedira had been signed before any kind of rumors of Vidal's sale resurfaced. Khedira is now considered Vidal's replacement due to Chilean's leave, but it was never meant to be like that. Vidal wasn't properly replaced. Hernanes and Lemina are rather underwhelming signings.
Still you can't argue that with Khedira-Marchisio-Pogba our midfield would be rather strong. But these 3 being fit at the same time is another story.

More,Khedira aka Usain Bolt is on pretty hefty 3.5 mil, per season, so that free agent bullshit story of Beppe defenders don't hold water.Also Alex Sandro was just one year left with his contract and we payed 26 mil . for him.We should learn from Porto how to sell players.

Porto and Juventus are two different things entirely. We consider ourselves elite, they know they are a big club but not elite. With that mentality they can manufacture and sell to the elite, whereas we see it as a sleight on the club if a player asks to leave to a 'bigger club'.
The other players we sell are either unwanted or we have given concessions on a personal level. Maybe that's not a good way to do business on a financial level but on a personal level you can either hold players ransom, coerce them (and invariably get less out of them), or have them wasting away with a fat salary.
If we were Porto we would have sold Pogba already to the highest bidder, sold Vidal 3 years ago, be selling Dybala in a couple of seasons, would have sold Bonucci. Constantly rotating roster of players because that is what the club is there to do. Be competitive in Serie A? Probably, but winning is different, look what has happened with an unsettled team. It's not Liga NOS where you play nobodies for 2/3 of your fixtures. Competitive in the CL? Definitely not.

Being scouted and being signed are two completely different things. I'm absolutely sure that Juve have the pulse on most youngsters across the continent and beyond. I'm talking about the context of this particular mercato. While Paratici or Marrotta may well have had Lemina on their shortlist of talented youngsters over Europe, in my personal judgment, I don't think he was in Juve's plans for this mercato, till the time that we played Marseille, sold Vidal, and eventually had Khedira and Marchisio join the casualty ward.
If they had studied him long enough, he probably wouldn't have come on a loan with option to buy either. He would've been a loan with obligation, if they believed enough in his talent and only wanted an extra window to spread payments. It was not a sure shot move for this term like say, a Dybala was for example.
