Im sorry, but if you go back to the few months leading up to this mercato, we all agreed, the main challenge for Marrotta would be to get us that one wc player, upfront. Then we debated that wc was relative. We spoke about vidal and asamoah type players who are not categorised as wc or have those price tags. But we continued to agree that was the need of the hour. The ONE deal that was priority over all others has not been completed despite the glaring relevance it has to our chances in Europe.
If signing Bemdtner is his answer for us, then we judge him by those parameters coz that's e primary task we gave him. The concept of it is as simple as that. He had time. He had money. He had success. He a new stadium. He had the backing of his chairman and the plasma tv. There is NO excuse. Absolutely none. It's what you would do to Ranieri if he qualified you two years running for the CL. Youd replace him with somebody who could take you to the next level. Marrotta will be judged in two days but if it ends up like it looks like it will, then he is clearly out of his depth and for me there are no two ways about it. This is as far as he can take us. We don't need 10 new players next season. We'll need the same quality players next season. Our revenue model won't be any different. Nor will our wage structure. We may not have the same level of success to talk about. So I don't see his job get any easier than this. Thats how this situation seems to come across.
I've invested enough time over the internet explaining to everyone why a quality goalscorer is imperative to this mercato and this Juventus, I would be very disappointed if he does not deliver. Three summers, and nothing to replace Trezeguet. That is a massive failure.
He didn't go Secco on this club though, raping the transfer kitty and securing players on huge contracts long term. If he did something similar, and the results on the pitch were lacking, then I'd see a lot more reason to call for his head. I'd certainly concede it seems like he struggles to pull off major deals and take bigger risks that other sporting directors would make, but this is still Juventus made by Marotta and Conte. It would be impossible to defend any transfer of Bendtner though. He might have made good signings but there is a spot open in the Juventus starting XI and he didn't fill it (yet, it's still too early, 2 more days...). Asamoah, Isla and Pogba will have good Juventus careers. Juventus aren't even close to being the laughing stock of Europe, you can't compare the situation now to that of 1-2 years ago. It's ludicrous.
I'd actually be happy to go through everything in much more detail once the deadline has passed. This all seems pointless, the club was linked with Berbatov, Llorente, Floccari and Drogba over the last 18 hours. It's too chaotic.
