Cheers for the input, my favourite niggahs, pokeman fans and frank spencer impersonators...! but lets get back on track eh?...

Lets look at the major movers of the Summer so far.
Nasri...left a solid premiership team (yesterday aside!), for a team who paid him much more than Arsenal, offered definite CL football, much greater chance of winning the domestic title, and also a much stronger team to play within.
Sticking with Arsenal, Clichy also had the same incentives.
Had Fabregas not been a Barca boy, still...by this summer I feel he would have moved on, for similar reasons to the above. the other thing with fabgregas is that he wants to be winning, not simply playing pretty, entertaining football.

Aguero- those very factors mentioned hugely influenced his decision. I do not criticize him at all for choosing City, for he has no special connection to us.

Ashley Young- Similar reasons. more $, CL, Title fight, better team.

Mata- more $, better team, better chance of winning titles.

Eto'o- more $

Lukaku, De Gea, Alexis Sanchez,Coentrao, Sahin...all headed to better clubs with better prospects, and better squads, and all in the CL.

Pastore's move falls into the same category of that of Eto.

All of the above players have gone to more attractive clubs than Juventus. I mean more attractive financially, competitively and technically.

Perhaps we could have afforded Mata's or Young's or Lukaku's wages..but why the hell would they have chosen us over the teams they chose? It would make no sense whatsoever.

Also, I cannot believe for a second that we had/have as a club, NOT as the prime shareholder EXOR, the financial muscle to seriously compete with chelsea, man united, Madrid, Barca, PSG, fucking Anzi! Do you know the wages of those mentioned in this post? Perhaps Ashley Young, Lukaku and De Gea will seem on not crazy wages, but they moved to the respective clubs for other factors, not just Money, other factors than again, are more attractive there than presently in turin.

You're overlooking that Marotta has failed so far to get us a new CB and LW of any class and that he has failed to sell a huge list of players. He also undersold Melo and Giovinco and surrendered important funds in those areas. He has definitely improved our squad but failed in many important areas which are crucial to the completion of the squad and the finances of the club. Marotta promised lower medium wages and a lower medium age of the squad and gets Pirlo on a lucrative contract. Giacherini and whats his name aren't good signings at all we have no need for another striker whatsoever. What is Marotta doing about our left wing and center back positions? It looks like we might not even sign a left wing now and that Bonucci may stay as well.

The bad outweighs the good. He signed these CM players when the CM role wasn't even the major problem spot of the squad. The entire defense had a sign across it proclaiming, "FIX ME, FIX ME", along with the left-wing role. Now we have yet another manager in place who is addicted to the 4-4-2 and we still don't have a good option for the left flank. No improvements at the left-back spot. Players who could be useful most likely going on loan. No promised class players.

What the fuck else do you lot need? I'm not giving him another chance, I'm not waiting until the mercato is over, I'm not putting up with any shit and sticking to my original guns that haven't fired incorrectly yet. The guy is a fucking clown, we based our future off of one season with Sampdoria, and we currently have to pay the piper because we are fucking idiots.

i wonder how atletico madrid/liverpool and the rest sign all these hot players, must be magic since its doesnt fall under one of the categories of transfer posted above, also milan must be cheating too since they got aquilani for what we paid for motta, surely none of this is marotta's fault

I completely agree with this.

I hate the true fans of this club who slurp up as much sticky material as they can.

Compared to Atleti, Liverpool and even Arsenal.. at least we won the league in 05-06 and gave decent runs in the years that followed except for the last two horrendous seasons.

The first half of this transfer window started well for us, can't say the same about the last half.. exactly like our last season.

I honestly don't see us wrapping up a big signing in the last 3 days.

So, optimists, were are the starter CB and LWs??????
You were so convinced of their arrival, that you were hurry to bash/mock everyone who tried to pass judgement on this mercato, considering the transfers made so far, the reasoning behind them and the direction they would lead to...
