Lugano got 4.5m a year from PSG,i thnk it would be irresponsible to pay out that much

Alex...i have to say i am a little relieved that never went through,i don't rate him
are you missing the point or purpose, or you not as sharp as before?
no matter if you like those players or not, the point is their positions on the field and the places we really needed to strengthen.
LW, LB and CB should be considered priorities and be served with the best material we could have signed, not leftovers after the budget allocation on yet another CM and SS...

Once again we failed to improve the departement that needs the biggest change. The defence.
Only Licht :sergio:
From the other thread.

Lichtsteiner is incredibly enough the first decent fullback we buy since Balzaretti in 2005. And if you don't rate him or Zebina that much, then it's probably Chiellini before that. And if you don't count Chiellini as a fullback, then I can't recall any other fullback purchase that turned out any good this decade. Zambrotta joined 1999 and wasn't even a fullback.

Someone please refresh my memory. Have we bought any decent fullbacks in the past ten years?

You rate Pazienzas and Zieglers transfers higher than Giacs?
Yes i do.They are more expirienced and proven players in the league.
Ziegler is not a bad defender.while Pazienza was fine for Napoli.
Giac played for the first time last season didn't he?

exactly and to compound it it's not like the coaches with these rigid tactics are proven world beaters
It's crazy, right? We take a considerable gamble by hiring unproven, inflexible coaches, and that in turn requires us to continue gambling on player transactions; it creates a type of positive feedback that causes significant instability, and can really be hugely destructive.

Not for you Deneb, but I know that line will be misinterpreted by some, so..

Well Marotta I have to give you the biggest applause ever. WELL DONE! you again neglected to purchase players in positions we needed reinforcement. All Summer after our first couple of pre season games you said we needed a CB and yet you go and sign 3 wingers 2 youth players and loaned out 1 very promising winger but yet no CB well done well done!

Better it is.if it's not B.alves/Rhodolfo better stick with Bonucci.
The only thing i blame marotta for is that it was left so late,the CB part.

Agreed im glad he didnt panic buy but the fact he left it for so long when he knew and publicly stated it that we need a CB. If the person actually says we need a cb I dont understand why he would leave it for sooo long. Whatever its done now Lets hope we can have a good run this winter and hopefully in January we can sign Rhodolfo and a LB.

Even all the Italian Media outlets cant comprehend how Marotta couldnt and didnt sing a proper CB with him repeating they need one. They or hoping it is because Juve have an agreement to get Rhodolfo in January. Im hoping thats the case.
