Giuseppe Marotta (130 Viewers)

I don't think Elia was a mistake, though. As you say, he was bought for the 4-4-2 and at the time of purchase we had every intention of using that..it was only after the season started did we decide to switch systems...largely because of Krasic not working out (that is my opinion).

Krasic's failure forced Conte to switch systems because we had no strong wingers to make the formation work consistently, especially while Elia was still adapting.

The main reason we didn't use it because all of Vidal, Pirlo, and Marchisio work out well together. 4-4-2 could've still been kept as an option but only two of our MVP together don't work very well.

Yeah, that, combined with the fact that Marchisio, Vidal and Pirlo started to form something special on the training ground. According to Conte, it became evident to him that those three had to be on the field at the same time. That is also something that must've forced through a change of system.

$#@!ing Sand Groping $#@!s. WA is such a hole. And that deggen guy is a bit of a douche.

No offence to our Middle Eastern members, of course.

LOL dude we are paying for the national budget.
And Conte and Allegri have the same number of trophies is the point. I was responding to some fool who thinks Conte will win CL with this squad, obviously not realizing how s**** serie A is in Euro standards.

Oh how typical that these last 2 posts were by people who refuse to give the man any credit whatsoever.


But hey, here's an idea.


Let's hire a new sporting director so that he can dismantle everything and start another revolution.


As if 6 years of it wasn't enough.

No one said anything about replacing him.

I am still not convinced by him. Conte worked miracles with a squad which ranks pretty low in terms of quality, compared to previous Juventus title winning sides. I'm not undermining the work done by Marotta (he does indeed deserve some praise), but I also refuse to go overboard in praising his "accomplishments."

It's not that far behind the other leagues. Milan beat Arsenal, and Napoli really made Chelsea sweat. Also, don't forget that italian teams won the CL in 2007 and 2010. Sure, the two top spanish sides are ahead of everyone else, but Serie-A trailing far behind every other european league? Please...

I'm certain we can make it far in the CL if Marotta gets us a couple of quality additions in the summer. And he will.

"Experts" and people have been saying this for the last 12 years. People rate the leagues from what they see in the CL.

Bianconero81: You have every right to be skeptical. I think the most people are, but some of the things, that has been written in this thread is just , and that's from both sides.

Well, your responses to all the posts certainly implied it.

I see what you are trying to do here. you are trying to lump me in with the Society members, and it ain't gonna happen

Yup, and it's to narrow-minded to base everything upon that.

Do I believe that Marotta deserves some credit for the clubs accomplishment this season? Yes.

Do I believe that he's assembled a serviceable squad to compete in Italy or Europe? No.

Thats all I'm saying

Whoa whoa whoa

are you accusing me of being a lumper?

I had stated several times that he has not yet constructed a sqaud competitve for Europe. However, I had also stated that I felt that his job was to build a squad that was capable of getting to Europe in the first place, which he has helped to do.

Although I do have to disagree with you in your opinion that this team is not serviceable for Italy, as, well, you know, they just did kinda sorta win the Scudetto a few days ago.

Oh, and one more thing about me accusing you of being a lumper.

If jimmy's shoes fit, son. Well, you know the rest

But Jem83, didnt you know its the in thing to bag the quality of Serie A (even after everyones favourite fap worthy coach, Mourinho calls it the hardest and toughest league to win in the world) and rate every other league as being much higher.

In actual fact I think the general level of European leagues is WAY lower than what it was 10 or so years ago. Not just in Italy. The EPL is a fucking suckfest these days, nearly every game I watch in that league makes me fall to sleep.

 

[ZoSo]

The Serie A is much stronger than it was a few years ago imo, Serie A is definitely on the rise as Juve has returned plus teams like Lazio, Udinese, Napoli are generally getting stronger and also Palermo have arabs now. The 3 CL spots are only going to increase competition and therefore make the top teams stronger. La Liga is a joke apart from the top two, we would absolutely smash Valencia and any other team (after the next mercato with a top foward(s) :xfinger). Same goes for Bundesliga apart from Bayern and BVB would be a bit tougher than Valencia. I think in a couple of years PSG will be pretty tough in the CL if they still have Ancelotti.

 

[Nardonejuve]

I believe Marotta has done enough to satisfy so far but with this scudetto win and being in CL with the team having some obvious weakness when in comes to comparing to most CL teams he has his work cut out for him. I hope he can make the jump up and become a real Player in the transfer market. I will also commend him on his work signing youth products though.

Last year he signed players that didnt Impress at all but is hat Marotta fault they didn't perform or is it Del Neri who just didn't know how to use them properly? Krasic worked until he was continuously double teamed and again was is Marottas fault he signed a player that wasn't consisted or was it Del Neris fault not seeing this and created a different game plan to expose the open areas? this season he signed 4 ayers in the summer that all turned out to be key signings and this he signed last year performed as well except Krasic and Elia. Those two players are exceptions because the were kept and bought because we all those conte was going to play his 4-2-4 but once conte changed his tactics and found a system that worked Marotta now has a clear idea of what Conte wants and what players to buy. I hope he can make the step up and sign these players. We don't need people who can steady the ship anymore we need people who can maintain us being champions and competitive in Europe again.

Yep, it's definitely the "in thing" to bash Serie-A. That Serie-A is sooooooo f*cking weak is something you just "know"

Especially if you follow the EPL. Most of these people don't even watch Serie-A

I see things the same way.

The naivety, shortmindeness, Bias and selective amnesia some posters have shown in this thread is mind blowing!


I still expect from Marotta to bring a trully WC player. (like Cavani)
Still waiting to see us selling a player for a decent price. (Melo)
Lets see how he will conclude the loan deals (Giovinco)
Still waiting to see less Padoins and more AAA starters.
And in case all the rest keep failing, i would at least expect us not to repeat the very same mistakes (Boriello = new Amauri, salary/contribution wise)

Still waiting for you to understand, that a lot of players you have been bitching about selling for the past two season, was from the Secco time.

There where loads of excuses, but the time has come that there are no more.
We have now a decent coach, we wont have to make massive changes and compromise.
We are in a strong bargain point as a CL team and reigning champions.
There are no more excuses left, i believe that Marotta has already proved he is not Juve material and shound not be given another chance to ruin our plans, capital and set more handicaps to Conte.

I reckon the clueless management would have a tough time to find a decent or even an equivalent management. As we our managers choices are more of a lotery. But this summer, the lies and illussions should stop!
Accepting that Marotta is a compromise we have to live for is different than praising him being anything more than a mediocre midtable Italian team manager, given a big black and white gun...
