Marotta: 'Juve fear Milan and Inter'
Football Italia44 Minutes Ago


Marotta was asked whether those included Ilkay Gundogan and Palermo’s Franco Vazquez.

“Gundogan has international pedigree, but Vazquez has everything to prove, as so far he’s only played for a provincial club.”

Wasn't that true about Dybala, yet we signed him for 40 mil !!

No contradiction about that for sure

Except Dybala is a top talent.

Vazquez is an above average player at best on the other hand.

I don't get that "midfielder who can cover various roles". Either get a true am or get no one. I'd rather have a player who is great at what he does than someone being Okay at 4 different positions. With all those depth signings we should be covered by now

@Hustini

They have their "abysmal" and "Allegri doesn't want" memes. We have found our one to use against them

That's San Padoin to you, Abel.

 

[mondo1]

Yeah but there is only one padowin in this world and the guy (God) is already playing for us. Therefore we don't need another one, or?

Btw I think being tactical variable is only good to a certain degree. Look at peps Bayern they are switching their tactical concept like I do with my underwear, yet they never reached the level of heynckes bayern

Marotta: 'Juve fear Milan and Inter'
Football Italia44 Minutes Ago


Beppe Marotta confirms Juventus “rejected offers above €80m for Paul Pogba” and snubs Edin Dzeko. “Milan and Inter are Scudetto favourites.”

The director spoke to La Gazzetta dello Sport ahead of today’s Italian Super Cup against Lazio, kicking off at 13.00 UK time (12.00 GMT) in Shanghai.

The Bianconeri have been looking for a trequartista, a player who traditionally wears the Number 10 jersey, but surprisingly handed that shirt to Paul Pogba.


“Pogba asked for the Number 10 shirt, remembering the big Juve players from when he was a child. We thought that yes, he does represent the unique aura of that jersey.

“Modern football has revamped the concept of a 10. We are still missing a midfielder who can cover various positions and it’s a small group to choose from, as few are Juve quality.

“We have three weeks and the Super Cup to get the first responses of this season, then we’ll see. Max Allegri is a modern and versatile Coach, so if there is a new arrival, he will adapt his tactics to their characteristics.”

After three consecutive Scudetti, Juve released Carlos Tevez, Andrea Pirlo and Arturo Vidal.

“We are optimistic for this season, but the truth is we changed three players and must cover that gap with renewed motivation,” continued Marotta.

“Juve also realised an era was coming to an end and brought down the average age of the squad. Paulo Dybala, Simone Zaza, Daniele Rugani, Stefano Sturaro and Roberto Pereyra bode well. If the results arrive, we’ll be a long-term squad already built.

“Those who left made personal decisions. Tevez made a lifestyle choice, it was a unique opportunity for Pirlo and also Vidal. The Chilean was happy with us, but could enjoy a new experience with a four-year contract.

“We are not a club who can afford €70m buys, but I say with pride that we refused offers above €80m for Pogba. We only sell those who want to leave.”

Inter and Milan have spent big on the transfer market this summer, while they also don’t have to worry about European competition, so are they the main contenders?

“I was surprised, especially at a time like this. It’s good to invest, though what happens on the field is decisive. Milan and Inter are favourites for the Scudetto because they have invested and have a superior winning mentality compared to the other rivals.”

Roma have bought Mohamed Salah and Dzeko, but Marotta is not concerned.

“We had thought about Dzeko years ago, while Salah was never an objective. We all think Juve are strong and are just missing a midfielder. I won’t name names, though.”

Marotta was asked whether those included Ilkay Gundogan and Palermo’s Franco Vazquez.

“Gundogan has international pedigree, but Vazquez has everything to prove, as so far he’s only played for a provincial club.”

It's what likely happened. Vidal was happy to stay, but they brokered the deal mostly coz of a longer contract that Bayern were offering and Juve were not. From Beppe's words we now know that Vidal would not have been happy had he stayed. We didn't see him here long term.

If we get guarin than I am with Turk and think moratta is a terrorist
Selling Vidal and get siqueira and Guarin would be..... Wow
Should atleast got us a better lb than, or rb

That interview

 

[JCK]

Good interview but still the talk about Vidal is ambiguous, the whole truth is not being revealed.

As for the midfielder, it seems assuring but it still remains to be seen who will arrive.

That talk about the LB is dismissed, does this mean that the Atletico man is done deal?

Yeah I think the Siqueira deal is all but done. And it really does look like we are in for a midfielder...but maybe a CM rather than an AM. Perhaps we are looking at using Pogba as the Treq this season?

That would be the worst move ever.

The above.

The last part will be his excuse for not signing anyone of substance.

It looks like we have a few mids we are looking at, maybe some central and some attacking and whomever arrives we are ready to adjust accordingly. Let's hope that the new arrival lifts the quality of the team. Mascherano will be a slap in the face for all Serie A teams who thought that they have come closer to Juve. It will bring them back to their foot and their abysmal reality.

Sorry, what part?
