No chance of getting him.

I'm a taker, not a begger

Marotta has been a blessing for us, but now comes the new phase.

If marotta cannot sign the quality player, then he must step back.

Let's say both Juve and Arsenal/Tottenham bid the same amount, offer the same wages, contract etc and Higuain decides to accept the offer of whichever EPL presumably qualifies for the CL. Would you concede that the Premiership being a bigger attraction for most footballers in this day and age, is a viable reason for Marotta not being able to sign said player?

Played can take blame for being an idiot.

Jovetic and Higuain at Juventus next season?

...my god.

Honestly out of Higuain and Jovetic, i see Higuain as the more achievable but honestly there are all these conflicting rumors and comments that we shouldnt think anything until this meeting on friday(if there is even a meeting) happens

Another source quoting sport.es. :sergio:

K.O. · May 14, 2013

Didn't UK journalists said at one point that Llorente has "agreed" terms with Arsenal?

j0ker · May 14, 2013

This somehow reminds of Guarin saga where his agent supposedly said to O'globo that "he'll only leave for Juve", everyone was quoting them as a source except O'globo themselves who didn't have anything about it.

BTW I'm loving it, it'll be fun when he joins us...

or City. :shifty:

Nicholas · May 14, 2013

Yes, everyone is going Arsenal these days, we have to worry about City and Marotta that's it.

Highly unlikely hypothetical situation. I assume that Higuain will make a rational decision (could be based on money, ambition, hope for a better future, etc) so if he turns us down in such situation, I'd still blame Marotta for it's his job to contact, convince and bring top players. He has to be smart. This Juve has won the league two times in a row, has a great history and is prestigious. If it's still not enough to make us more attractive than the likes of Arsenal when offering similar fees and wages, we then have to buy attraction by adding a couple more millions. If we are too weak financially to afford even that, we need to change our policy altogether. I mean, if nothing in this Juve is similar to what it used to be in the past, then change the club's approach and start investing on young and unknown players hoping for a new Del Piero. I can't understand buying the likes of Anelka and Bendtner (perhaps it was understandable two seasons ago but not now), giving them money generously only to have them sit on the bench without any hopes of them developing into better players.
