well if we want benz or neymar we can't keep quagliarella and matri, that's for sure. If we want a good rb we won't keep motta. Now i'm sure aquilani will stay so paying for him will be a good deal. I'm not sure about pepe but we can't pay that much for a decent lw....put 5 more mils and you can get elia.

any links for the neddy moment ? :D

Marotta, obviously.
Not true. The reason why Marotta is getting hard wood for Italians is simply due to the fact they don't need time to integrate in Italy, serie A and Juventus. You can buy many foreigners but it can result in players not suiting to the league like Diego or Tiago. Serie A gets dominated by Italians, secondstring Argie's and some Balkanese. It shouldn't be a suprise to you he's going for the Italians then.

Defending Marotta at night.. now I know how it feels to be Neutrol.

The next person to post a negative or critical post about Marotta's work for Juve will be banned.

You have to be an absolute fucking moron to think the man is not doing the best he can with what he has.

The only reason he bought those Italians was because there was no money.
That was not the only reason, it is the guideline he got from our owners,it was the reason they hired him, just he knew the Italian market and could find and focus such players.

What worried me when we got him, is that we will end up buying only Italians because of that, but because he has some exp, i at least expect him to make good deals.

But paying 20+milfor Matri when we could get Pazzini for less and Cassano for free, losing Diego+Giovinco for peanuts and getting Bonucci for a total sum of 20+mil when we could get Ranochia for free, were huuuge mistakes.

He also failed to produce any decent income or deliver us from some heavy wages on players we own, loan and still paying them!
That was expected, but it would soften the rest of his inabilities...
Overall he has failed as a decent manager for Juve and we need to start looking for a replacement, however he did better than Secco and it is not his fault that Italians do suck right now, but are still so overrated.
It is our owners fault at insisting with them and hiring a man who should have left in a limited but decent club like Samp.

Cronios, let me ask you a fair question

Are you a supporter or an apologist?

Ok, well I'm still waiting for Motta, Iaquinta, Grosso, Amauri, Pepe, Lanzafame, Rinaudo to get integrated.

Lets just be honest here. Marotta and Del Neri only know how to work with Italians, nobody else. That's just how it is. DN has always had a rough time when he's went to a bigger club, and at Porto it was no exception.

Folks here need to stop purporting the lie we can't spend any money and that's why we signed mediocre players. It's nonsense. We will sign some of the option players and we will spend a lot of money on them, even if the payments consist of installment plans. Installments do not reduce the price of a transfer even if you wish they do. The payment will come out of future revenue that is only expected to be arrive.
