I agree with the rest of this, but after selling Tevez we absolutely needed some sort of versatile SS to replace him, and Dybala was the perfect signing for that. We overpaid by probably the 8 million in bonuses, but 40 mil was what clubs were willing to pay for him, and we went for it.

Not getting a good CAM would be a massive failure at this point. Beppe has had more than enough time, and has clearly stated that money is not an issue.
I agree that after Tevez went, we needed an SS type of player and Dybala was a good choice, only thing i said that many people would argue that we needed an Isco/Goetze/Draxler... type of signing more than a Dybala. Not only because they are better player right now but Allegri specifically requested an AM. And Yet Marotta still cant give him one.

And some would have argued that Allegri was the worst decision this club has made in years. Why don't we wait and see where things unfold to actually break things down on why they unfolded before they actually do?
That the problem i have with people defending Marotta, us winning the Scudetto or anything else doesnt mean he did a good job, i'll give more credit for Allegri like i did with Conte because of that.
He should present the manager with the best possible team that fits his needs and tactical choices and if he fails and the manager had to do something else to accomodate the new personnel and go on to win, i think the majority for the credit should be given to him.

I am not saying that Marotta didn't do a good job last years, but it seems that the Vidal sale was not given enough tought and ruined what could 've been a perfect mercato. We made the CL final last year, we have money, we have the prestige and we needed to cement our place as a top european team but it seems the management wants to start from scratch right now.

If i was allegri..i would have thought about dropping that waiting of the AM long time ago.

If he personally requested gotze and drax before even the mercato started...is almost sure that we will miss both of them. At this point..one of the 2 should have beenin our team weeks ago.

If that player was so detrimental to our formations, he should have been the priority from day one, together with dybala (tevez replacement). if they needed to overpay a little for one of those..then do it. If allegri was demanding draxler..pay for the man and then make allegri responsible for it. But give the man his request so he has no excuse.

What i do not want to see, is Juve signing anyone just to not look bad. They already are looking bad, so leave things as they are instead of worsening the situation.

IM pretty sure allegri can work out something with the attackers we have. Not having an AM is not an excuse to get owned by udinese and the likes. Even without tevez, we can do much more.

Personally, I think our AM dream signing fell apart with the injuries to our CM's leaving us in a bind to strengthen that area again before signing an AM.

Maybe, but then thats our mistake too. We should have secured the AM first, and then, if khedira and the rest injured..then we could have started to search any kind of replacement for them, which is easier. I mean, its easier to find physical DMs, which there are a lot...than find AM fantasistas.

Like i said before... we should have pounced fast for an AM, just like we did with dybala. Then, we could have sorted out what to do with Vidal and the midfielders. Now we are fuked.

I think they are trying to get both a new CM and and AM. Only because of the injuries so hopefully they can still get an AM.

You evidently don't read all my posts, which is fine, I post a lot and many are probably too annoying for your taste.

I will say it again, simply and as unbiased as possible: Marotta can't sell. He sucks at it and that is his worst attribute. Do you agree? Because that is what I think. As for Vidal, we all wish he went for a bigger sum, but 37m is a lot if use properly and I see the reasons why we made the move happen (or let it happen the way it did). Zaza is a decent striker especially for Italy and IF we decide to sell in a year or two I see us making up most of that money. He will be a good back up striker. If, in a year, he does nothing like Llorente did last year I will apologize and say I was wrong.

Lastly, we still have a few days left in the mercato so I will wait for my final full judgement to see how all these strange puzzle pieces fit together, if they do at all.

I forgot, you mentioned Llorente as well. I have hardly said anything actually because my theory is rescinding his contract was our way of freeing up wages for another player we need. Does it make sense to overpay for him as 5th choice and him refuse to go anywhere or other clubs interested not want to pay up? We probably took the chance to free up the 20m in wages over the next couple years which IF Marotta signs someone big in the coming days would make this make completely sense. If Beppe does not then not only did the Llorente move not make sense that would ultimately make the Zaza one that much worse.

You can agree, disagre, I could care less these are my theories I don't know what the other people you listed all say because I don't read hardly any of their posts to be honest.
this seems fair enough, it's the impression that I have on Marotta as well.

Great at signing players, but not so much at getting rid of them. His exit strategy we surrender our players far too easily. Look at how Man Utd are dealing with De Gea at the moment, if Real Madrid want him so badly they must come chasing after ad not the other way round.

Domenica scorsa ci ha annunciato la firma di Cuadrado. Ci annuncia un altro colpo di mercato? Si è diffusa un'ipotesi Ibrahimovic. Cosa ci dice?
"Che è assolutamente un'ipotesi fantasiosa, non abbiamo assolutamente in mente questo profilo di calciatore pur apprezzandone le grandi qualità e la grande professionalità. Quindi lo smentisco nel modo più assoluto. Per il resto ritengo che non sia facile trovare giocatori per la Juventus, al di là di quella che può essere la valutazione economica. Vedremo cosa succede in questi ultimi giorni"
Ibra is fantasy. It isnt easy finding Juventus calibre players, regardless of their economic evaluations. Lets see what will happen in the coming days.

.L'eliminazione della Lazio vi regala una quota più ampia del famoso market pool. Milioni di euro che andranno investiti da qui al 31 agosto?
"Come ho detto prima, non è una questione economica, è la questione di individuare giocatori che possano fare al caso della Juventus. Non è facile. Noi non ci siamo fermati dietro a una valutazione di carattere economico, certamente la congruità è una logica importante in una fase di negoziazione. Quindi è evidentemente che davanti al valore di un giocatore ci deve essere assolutamente una logica anche nelle richieste. In questo momento, giocatori che sono disponibili sul mercato e fanno al caso nostro, sono veramente... forse nessuno. Quindi alzare l'asticella della proposta economica per portare giocatori che non sono alla nostra altezza, questa è uan valutazione che faremo molto attentamente. E quindi anche questo arrivo imprevisto del tesoretto, come viene definito, non sposta assolutamente quelli che sono i nostri obiettivi".
Asked if the extra Cl money will change anything.

Like I said before its not an economic issue, it is about finding available players who are Juve calibre. In this moment, players that will aid our cause are really....maybe no one. So raising the bar on the economic offer who aren't at our level, this is an evaluation that we will make very attentively. So this improvised arrival of a "tesoretto", as it is being called, will not shift our objectives.





I cant really make sense of what he is saying in the last part. @JuveJay @CAPITANO @Bianconero_Aus

I think he is trying to say we won't move away from our evaluations of a player and that the other teams need to be realistic as well.

If money was no matter than why the fuck didn't we pay the 50 mil required to get a top player of Isco/Goetze/Oscar calibre? Beppe sounds ridiculous when saying there are no Juve material AMs available. That's because you left it to the last goddamn week of the mercato. :sergio:

Huge Beppe fan and that will never change, but he has commited one terrible mistake this mercato: Zaza.

Let's say we have around 25-30 million now, to spend on an AM. Which isn't enough.

Then it appears to me that the real blunder was buying Zaza for 18 mill. Those 25-30 mill + the "Zaza money" would be enough to get us that AM, but now it's impossible.
