Let's wait and see. However, come the end of August, if his signings are anywhere near as mediocre and disappointing as his initial acquisitions, I will be very upset, and will probably boycott the entire season, as I wouldn't want to be watching us week in week out with a starting line-up without Diego and Gio, and comprising the likes of Martinez, Pepe, and a 36 year old Del Piero in attack!

In any case, it's still June, so there's still plenty of time :)

Look who's talking...five minutes later in another thread you'd go:

What the fuck the Neanderthal that is called our new manager is full of mediocrity that he is only destroying our team by purchasing players of the Catania retarded calibre.

Ecco come potrebbe essere la nuova Juventus disegnata ad ok dal presidente Andrea Agnelli e dal dg Marotta: un 4-4-2 che i tifosi bianconeri hanno sempre gradito molto. E' il modulo che ha portato a Torino tanti successi negli anni passati e anche con Del Neri si spera nella suna buona riuscita. Quindi, Storari (Buffon) in porta, a destra Motta o Cassani in grande rimonta. Bonucci e Chiellini come coppia di centrali con alla sinistra Clichy o Aogo. Scendendo nella mediana ci sono gli insormontabili Marchisio e Sissoko con Pepe e Martinez o Krasic sulle corsie pronti a servire assist e palloni volanti al duo d'attacco: Iaquinta e Dzeko. Una vera Juventus d'acciaio quella che ci verrebbe proposta. Tassello dopo tassello, eccola che viene realizzata e prende forma: la creatura della nuova dirigenz.

Here's how it might be ok for the new Juventus designed by President Andrea Agnelli and dg Marotta: a 4-4-2 that white fans have always liked very much. And 'the form which led to many successes in Turin in the past and hopefully also with Del Blacks in Suna success. So Storari (Buffon) in goal, right or Motta Cassani big comeback. Bonucci and Chiellini as a couple of plants with the left or AOGOI Clichy. Going down to the middle there are insurmountable and Sissoko Marchisio with Pepe and Martinez or Krasic lanes ready to serve and assist the duo balls flying attack: Iaquinta and Dzeko. A real steel Juventus that there be proposed. Piece after piece, here she is done and takes shape: the creation of new dirigenz


Buffon(Storari)
Motta/or Cassani - Bonucci - Chiellini - Clichy

Interesting article about Marotta on Football Italia Website:

When the transfer window closes later this summer, the dealings of Beppe Marotta will come under more scrutiny than any of his Serie A colleagues. Juventus’ new Sporting Area Director General, to give him his official title, Marotta has been tasked with rebuilding the Old Lady of Italian football after a season of unadulterated failure.

Having replaced Alessio Secco as the club’s transfer supremo, Marotta’s ability will be judged, by the majority, on the quality of new players he brings to Turin over the next few months. But that aspect alone won’t give us a complete indication of how good an official he actually is.

Rather than assessing him solely on his buys, his summer sales will probably be more of an indicator to just how talented Marotta is at this game. After all, the former Sampdoria official doesn’t have the significant lure of Champions League football to dangle in front of prospective new signings. That’ll have to wait until next year.

What he does have though is a lengthy list of players, many on significant wages, who should have been filtered out of the club by the previous regime. As well as questionable buys, Secco sold poorly too in recent years. Adrian Mutu was undersold to Fiorentina, while the much-maligned official was unable to shift the likes of David Trezeguet, Jonathan Zebina, Tiago and Christian Poulsen.

On top of those players, Marotta also has to find a buyer for Diego who cost the club €24m last year and is now surplus to requirements, given that new Coach Gigi Del Neri will play with a 4-4-2 next term. There are also doubts over the future of Felipe Melo, who cost just as much as his fellow countryman.

Finding clubs who are willing to pay enough in terms of a transfer fee and with the cash to also cover wage demands will be a testing exercise, especially for players who are just not attractive propositions – many are either coming towards the end of their careers or have had a difficult last 12 months with the Bianconeri.

Marotta’s recent summits suggest as much. Meetings with Udinese for Simone Pepe and Co, trips to Moscow for Milos Krasic, talks with Bari and Genoa over Leonardo Bonucci and negotiations for Jorge Martinez with Catania underline that buying is easier than selling.

Although Marotta should be commended for bringing a bit of direction to the outfit – he’s targeting players that fit into a specific coaching system rather than asking a rookie Coach to invent something around Diego – he can’t be hailed as the new face of Juventus until he’s got rid of some of the old ones first

-----------------------------------------

Has a good point that judging Marotta should be based on who he gets rid of and for how much.

Juventus Chase Fiorentina's Riccardo Montolivo As Giuseppe Marotta Claims Good Players Will Arrive

And general director Giuseppe Marotta has confirmed more players will arrive as he hints at an extensive and worthy transfer market.

Montolivo is liked by coach Luigi Del Neri, who has asked Marotta to mount an assault on Fiorentina for the Italian international currently taking part at the World Cup.

The Viola ace has impressed in South Africa and was linked with a move to Arsenal as a replacement for Cesc Fabrgeas should he leave for Barcelona.

But Montolivo's agent denied there was anything concrete with the Gunners.

And while he didn't spell out who would arrive, Marotta said players will come and go.

"We are open for business. Plenty has happened, and more is yet to come - both incoming and outgoing," the director said.

"It's not the time to mention names, but we will make many more buys. But not all of them can arrive before the summer ritiro."
