You are a wonderfull butterfly. allow me to give you a better flower
- trezeguet was sold to lower age, as instructed by board
- board believed amauri(was in bad form, but has had fantastic start at the club), iaquinta, del piero and quag were enough for a good finish.
- we didnt got dzeko cause of 1non eu role and opted krasic. considering the players we had, and amauri's start at juve, a reasonable choise.
- quag injured, amauri&iaquinta horrible bad, we had 1 striker
--> desperate times, needed for 2 unplanned transfers. we had to buy matri and toni.
- aguero was to expensive. rvp was to expensive (we couldnt afford both wage and 25mil fee).
- fiorentina didnt accept 30 mil 4 jojo wich was allready to much.
- you forget the terrible image we had post calciopoli, and 2 7th places made it worse.
- he build a team that won an unbeaten scudetto and is cruising to its second consecutive title, reaching board expectations
Trezeguet was not sold, he was loaned in Marrotta's first season here, and continued to be on our wage bill, which means we were still paying his salary. David fucking Trezeguet. If we did this to lower age, then why the hell did we buy the equally old Luca Toni on an 18 month contract?
And I love your reasons as being the board's beliefs "Board believed that Amauri was in bad form but he had a good start here'
theres a difference from your reasoning and the 'board'. So please stop making it sound like you were there when Agnelli and Marrotta had a convo saying, Amauri has had a good start, it's ok if he hasn't scored in almost a year. Let's loan out David instead"
I agree, we didn't get Dzeko coz Krasic took up the one Non EU spot. Never mentioned the Dzeko scenario, although it came up last season, and if we had chased him enough, and offered the 25m City were willing to sell him for, he'd be here instead of Bendtner. Instead we chased RvP, got pretty close to agreeing terms with the player and maybe even agreed terms if you want to believe Di Marizio, but failed to close the fee with Arsenal.
The desperate times that you're talking about was in part of our own doing, because had Diego and Trez still been there, we'd have perhaps been better equipped to deal with that desperate situation.
I never said RvP and Aguero were not expensive. I know they were expensive, but if they were expensive and we always say we can't compete with that, then why the hell did we use 2 out of 3 months of the mercato pursuing those targets in the first place??
No, I don't forget the terrible scar calciopoli left us with, nor do I forget the 7th place finishes. What you forget though, is that the second of those 7th place finishes was under Marrotta's reign. And finally, assuming, we were hurt by the scandal, we finished seventh, and what not, but what was our excuse last year, as champions of Italy with a spanking new stadium? It wasn't the economic climate coz we offered 30m for Jojo. And went from RvP to Bendtner in one summer.
It's pretty evident, he's got his strong points and his weak ones too, but you need to stop deflecting the blame on the club for Marrotta's shortcomings.

I'm not saying Paratici/Pavel will be bad either, I'm wondering what makes them so desirable over Marotta. For wanting expensive players?
Here is a poll.
http://forum.juventuz.org/poll.php?pollid=526&do=showresults
I recall wanting someone that didn't make the poll more than Marotta though. I still like that other guy, but right now Marotta has back to back scudetti.
Matching ambition with the money available I guess. I'll say now that I'll criticise a transfer for Osvaldo, Diamanti or if he starts signing squad players from other clubs in May again. If
I remember wanting Corvino/Sabatini or the other Nap guy, forget his name. He's with a lower club currently.
Osvaldo, Diamanti would be failures as far as I'd be concerned, and I don't think he could be excused with using Llorente on a free as n excuse either, though if push comes to shove, I can see that come up in our reasoning. I agree with those who say that just because a player comes free doesn't mean he's not worth anything. But this attacking problem has persisted far too long to ignore it and not fix it well enough. Conte clearly has his ideas with how the team is likely to move forward, and I just don't see how that problem can be fixed this season, other than qualitatively. It's all on Marrotta now.
