Here is the whole interview:

Marotta outlines his Juve plan Monday 28 June, 2010

When asked to reveal how he will rebuild Juventus, Marotta said: “Above all, by continuing to invest in youngsters and it's better if they are Italian. Juventus has always been the reservoir for the national team and we want to continue to be so.

“Among the President's first considerations was the attention to the academy, a job that I have taken willingly.”
And what we got from this? FIGC doesn't even care about our team bringing country's interest to develop player for national team, they relegated us..

'People like you', so surely I would have to have those viewpoints and said those things for it to be people like me? If I haven't said those things how can it be people like me? But yeah, virtual shout a lot and then you'll be right.
:yawn:

Waah waah, what whiners! You always find something to moan about, don't you? I don't see anything wrong with what Marotta said there. It doesn't mean we don't want to buy non-Italian players. Young players and if they are Italian, it's better. Most of Bayern players are German, does it mean that there are no better players in the world than Badstuber, Klose, Schweinsteiger, Contento or Gomez? Or it's because Bayern can't afford buying non-German players? What about Barcelona? There is no better player than Pedro, Busquets, Valdez and Puyol? It's idiotic only if we bench a quality foreign player for a less quality Italian player only because the latter is Italian.

For years you have been making fun of INTERNAZIONALE for having non-Italian players, being proud of Juve for introducing the likes of Del Piero in the past and Marchisio, Chiellini and Giovinco in recent years but now, everything Italian is overrated and praising anything Italian is racist :crazy:
You need to marry me, like, now.

That's a no brainer but Azzurri fanboys always think that young Italian players are far better than the others.
proof?

show me 10 posts from 10 members here who said a single italian youngster was better than a non italian youngster, when the general consensus is that the non italian is better.

This whole discussion depends on what Marotta really means by young and Italian. If it's the Pepes and the Pazzinis, count me out. If it's the Bonuccis, OK, that's better. But if it's the Lanzafame's instead of the Hazards, then screw that.

I'm for having a good base of Italian players, but we already do have that. Lets go after the better talents regardless of nationality.

When you change your attitude (not meant in that particular post) then I'll think of having a discussiion with you.

one of the charms of Juve imo is that they play with a lot of Italian players
after all we are an Italian side
6 or 7 Italians and a couple of foreigners is the right way
in what way is Inter an Italian team?
I would never want that for Juve
