This is my main worry now, we are just signing too many players. I was happy 2 weeks ago but now it seems we are being flooded with unproven players of a similar quality. We are only playing in the domestic competitions this season as well.
I raised my hopes up a bit a couple of weeks ago and thought that now it will really be two quality players (one CB and one LW) but all of a sudden the panic buys started. It looks like last season once again to be honest.

It's pretty hard to spin it favorably, isn't it? I mean, we secure a couple very nice bargains in Vidal and Pirlo, Vucinic was a good buy IMO, Licht is a good right back, at a decent price... but then everybody else basically comes for a bargain, with considerable question marks.

Meanwhile, almost nobody has left. Tiago's contract rescinded, Sissoko is sold, Melo is loaned for a ridiculous 1.5M. I mean, there's less than a week left, and our squad is massive. If we don't get rid of some players, there are going to be a ton of unhappy campers, and that's going to be really bad for team morale.

I haven't heard a single word about any club wanting Grosso or Grosso accepting to move. He's another leech that thinks he should stay at Juventus for the two or three good games he played back in 2006. It is only wishful thinking that he is leaving.

So we want to get rid of Pepe and Martinez as if those 2 new chumps as though they're any better?

Please sell Marotta already
Marotta's contract expires next summer, and he should leave then. But there is also another problem, we don't have owners who want to invest in the team, hence therefore we can't compete for the quality/worldclass/game changing players in the market. Getting new owners would solve both these problems, cause 1. they'd bring there own people - meaning the end of Marotta and co plus they'll also invest properly in the team.

Besides we've spend enough since 2007 to be competing for the CL every year, shame it went on the Almirons and Poulsens of this world.
Not really, when you minus the sales we've made, we haven't spent that much, in fact not much at all. We haven't even signed a player for 20million or more in two years, even though we've sucked hard during that period, that speaks volumes........ But i agree we've wasted money on mediocrity, and we still are to this day.

Net spend of 135m over 4 mercatos. That's how much we spent in theory to replace and improve on what went out the door. We could have bought 4 WC players in their early 20s who would be peaking right about now. It's got nothing to do with lack of investment

yeah, bring back secco, he got us great melo and diego. spent big on players and wages.

why spend big on one or two players, if half your team is shit.

very few players worth more than 20m will choose juve over any of the other big clubs in epl or spain or germany. Which of these 20m+ players do you really think we could get?

who should be marottas replacement? you must have some alternativs if you hate him so much
