Giuseppe Marotta (96 Viewers)

[Cronios]

At any case, we wasted too much time, because Marotta is unwilling and unable to negotiate properly.
He always aims for opportunity targets, he is always get carried away and thats why he fails to bring what we really need, but brings decent secondary targets.
Such acquisitions give his followers more excuses to defend him, but they only happen randomly, thats why they have random outcomes that vary from a 13mil Martinez to a free Pirlo.
Time and time again Marotta admitted that he has signed what was available and not what we needed...

Even if we concede the fact that our board considers him too incompetent to let him spend more than 20mil for a transfer,
with early, pre-transfer talks and that ammount at hand, a player like Falcao, Giroud,Fred, Barcos, Damiao etc was at hand...

How come we presented a 30m offer for JoJo after signing the three of them?!? It was never a mutually exclusive decision.

I like how selective some people are when it comes to rumors.

You ruin your own efforts.

How do you suppose he signs players who are not available?

Please stop namechecking players you have no clue the value of. If we had signed someone like Giroud or Fred and they flopped you'd be the first person in this thread blaming Marotta for not signing Cavani.

We did not make an official 30mil offer for Cavani when we should!
IMO, we should just try it and if that failed, then we should just move on,at least we would stop wasting time,
one of the above mentioned players was available for that ammount, if we had our sights focused on one of them and made an official bid, we could have one of them, they are just examples, the options are way more wider and again i repeat ,
we should have known better by now what we can buy and what we cant.
Are you telling me that Juventus cannot sign any of those finishers i mentioned??
Cmon, then why wasting time with Dzekos, RVPs and Higuains??

We could search for opportunity targets for our sub places, instead Marotta has chosen the other way around...again...

Get with the program! If we had offered €30M in the first week of the transfer market, that would have shocked Napoli, hence why would they had accepted our offer.

 

[JuveJay]

I can't deal with fantasy.

 

[Cronios]

Take it or leave it offer, it happens every day...
We really ought to try that, what we did was unacceptable, esp considering the fact that thats exactly why we failed in the previous seasons as well...
We should have dealt with our priority issue long ago, this is what pre-transfer talk is for...

You're denying this? I'm confused. I'm saying we always had the money for a striker. It was abiut hoe far we were willing to go with our bids to get them. It had nothing to do with the fact that isle, Gio and Asa were here. And if it did, then Isla had no reason being here, and if he did, then it doesn't make sense having Licht in the bench. The point I'm trying to make is, it wasn't about the money. We fucked up with our approach.

 

[Hydde]

Cavani and Jojo were never to be ours.
Fiorentina and Napoli were just toying wiith us. The only way the were going to accept our offer, was if we handed them a 40mil more offer.

None of them wanted to sell their superstar, and we didnt had any good relationship with those clubs.

At least we have depth in all departments. But yeah i would have loved Cavani here... no doubts.

IMO, in the end we had to make a choice: Depth for all the championships, or one single super signing and no depth.

then we should not allow them to toy with us, between their players and Bartnersmth, there are hundreds of players around the globe...

And whats our depth on the LB, our most chronic issue? We barely have one dedicated player for this spot...

No, I thought you were, or at least that's what I was lead to believe by your post.

We had the money left, even after our sales we closed before. As you said, we weren't willing to go further than our terms. You disagree with that. I don't. We can go on with this forever.

De Ceglie? Too bad for you we're not even planning to play with one anyway.

 

[kingnike]

I think we have Asamoah and De Ceglie for the LWB role. Also, Peluso is reportedly coming in (with Zeigler going the other way) so if we change to a 4-3-3 we have two players for each position (I think).

Ban him, then.

I agree about the Bartenderth deal. Totally uncalled for. About LB, at least we have Isla or caceres who can also play there withouth being a fail like grygera. We are more or less covered.

Still, im not trying to sugar cooat what Marotta did, as he clearly could have done a better job... at least in not letting them toy with us or doing silly purchases like Bartender or whatever his name is.

Edit: Sorry about the LB comment,,,read RB. yeh we have no depth there, Just DC. But like K said, is not that we play a lot with wingbacks... and just in case, we have asamoah who seems to be capable to play anywhere, specially as left back.

 

[Cronios]

How come we play with so many right wingbacks then and need one more (Isla) and dont play with any left backs?
(dont need any at the other side of the pitch?)
And what are our dedicated left wing back options again, if DC cannot be considered one of them? (because he is a LB)

So where are the counter arguments, why was it the right choice not to make decent official bids and get on?
Why it wasnt the right choice to priorise the aquisition of our priority targets?
Why get the subs first and then, with the remaining resources and time gamble on the quest for the two starters?
How many more years should we keep on like that? Cant we see that this approach keeps failing?
Why cant Juve ever have a decent finisher and lesser teams can? How many more season will we favor quantity to quality?
How many more years Marotta should waste?

Maybe we disagree here. But I'd just like to reiterate its always going to be a trade off. Next year, the predicament is going to be the same. Its going to come down to how far we are willing to go. By that I don't mean 36m for a Llorente. But a 25m for Dzeko, 30m for Suarez, maybe you pay a bit more, but the pros of a move like that far outweigh the cons. Moggi paid big money even when all the conditions were in our favourl. Madrid is doing it today when they want a player. Liverpool has done it. United have done it. I'm not referring to Chelsea and City and PsG because their spending patterns are unsustainable. When you do it for one player it doesn't put anything in jeopardy as long as it doesn't hurt your wage structure. According to mr anyway.

Where is The Society to defend their god and the miracles he has worked to sign this piece of shit collectively known as Bendtner?

I really don't know what magic he used to pull this deal off but it's surely something that no other SD in the world could pull off

All of you morons who rush to justify his failure in signing a top grade striker can suck my nuts.

[Hydde]

For that, sadly theres no concrete excuse this time. The only one i can find... is that they foresaw the lack of depth, and the amount of games coming where going to be too much for the likes of Pirlo ,Marchisio,Vidal and Lichteiner. They decided to cover that first before it exploded in our face. Thats the only excuse i can find..


Still.... we knew that our striker issue was our priority since long time ago...and when u have a problem as serious as that one...you do ur best to attack it asap. We failed at that so...

yeh i know, we have some versatility and thats good. Even pepe can play there if we send him there. We have choices this time....but we needed to in order to compete in all fronts.

but things like this makes me think more and more about why we ended with berntner...

No one is justifying Bendtner's signing, Dr. Groove.
