:klin: :andyandbarcelona: :rolleyes:

Jovetic is 22 and has the potential to be an amazing player for this Juventus for years to come. Giovinco will never amount to more than a solid bench option for us. Time will tell ;)

But hey, what the fuck do I know? Apparently some members will defend Marotta to the death regardless of who he signs, whether that be Cavani or your three legged neighborhood dog.

Pazzini :yuck: :inter:

You suddenly became calm and rational (not your normal self at all), when others where in blind panic, so I thought I'd throw some Kipling at you:

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too:
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same:
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss:
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!’

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much:
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!
:heart:

I remain calm most of the time...I think.:D

Aside from youth players, Dzeko, Marchisio and Marrone...I think I fair well.

Shall I find quotes during last season such as; "I'll rate Marotta on the basis of which players he'll sign next Summer."?

You can even see members right now stating which players we should be making moves on next Summer.
I think you should.

For the record, Dzeko or not, I think Marotta has done a great job. Our depth is insane and I am glad we aren't a club that breaks the bank for a player and thinks later about it. I like that we run within our means and seek to lead by example.

Fuck the haters.

I'm sorry. But that's like saying you got your Ferrari a paint job when what it really needed was new tires for the race. All the shine and paint looks smashing at a glance, but when its time to move, its the tires that are still going to decide the outcome. Much the same way as our mercato. We didn't fix our primary need, just added gloss around it. No matter who else came, if a top striker didn't, this mercato will be a great opportunity lost to put some breathing space between us and our nearest contenders.

You watch too much Top Gear...
