As the season now comes to end, it is now safe to draw some conclusions.
The policy of bringing a large batch of mediocre Italian players has failed! Miserably!
Lets try to minimize damages and cut ties with everything that has been holding us back.
Pepe and Motta should go, but only if we secure someone else at least as reliable or more.
I would prefer us to invest on someone more reliable and with better prospects, than Quaqs, but it seems that we are now a very very small club to do any better (and sign the likes of Rossi, Cassano, etc) and considering the huuuuuge amount we already paid for quaqs (esp considering that he only paid half of the season.I guess we will keep him for depth (when he is not injured, he will be a starter) but at this case, we should bring Giovinco back, as its nearly impossible to sign someone of his value and keep quaqs as well.
As for matri, i think that we will make the compromise and overpay just like we did, with Bonucci.
Neither of them, will ever grow to their 18-22mil tag we paid for them.
But as we cant compete with AA teams and top material like Ranochia, Cassano and Pazzini, would rather being a sub to the top fly Milan teams, rather than being a starter to this mid table Juve, i guess we have no other option and accept the compromise...
Barzagli is going to be the new Legro and nothing can change that.
Hopefully, we will get rid of one between Toni and Iaq.
But where we should really invest, is the wingbacks, esp the LB and the LW
Motta (or grygera) and Grosso should be kicked out, Traore as well, and someone way better than DC should be acquaired.
I expect a 18mil investment on LM and 12 mil on LB.
these are our priorities and should focus 80% of our time and efforts on them.
As Marchisio and Melo will be our starters, we should rather keep Aquilani for depth, as we cant get anyone to fit this profile for 16 mil (Young, Italian, CM, not quite reliable but still quality player at his good days and decent sub)
So in order to get a LB+LW+keep Matri+quaqs+aquilani+recall Giovinco, we are destined to invest about 75mil, we will chop this sum my the usual sell of players like (Amauri, Tiago, Almiron etc)
This is best case scenario, and yet and it still lets a lot to be desired, in such a dead end we have reached, due to marotta's policies...
So even if sign a proper coach (highly unlikely) we will still have to sacrifice next year as well... (because with starters like MAtri, quaqs, Bonucci and Aquilani, one can only reach that far
and to forfeit them, we need to waste a huge amount of money we dont have)
