To add to this, the loan + option strategy we had for many players this summer was probably planned out so there wasn't loads of wasted money on crap players who don't want to move. The last things this team needs is more players like Tiago or Amauri pinned down on a large, long term contract, so the club is unable to sell them off.
And I am genuinely curious at what people think with my earlier question. What does it say if Juventus were prepared to spend over €30m on Dzeko last summer?

Quagliarella wasn't greeted with much praise even on loan, and for someone who doesn't have a remarkably consistent scoring record, he was going to be a risk (on top of the fact that we tried for Di Natale/Borriello before him anyway). Aquilani was a bigger risk because of injuries and whether he actually performs or not.
Fair enough about Martínez, he can still prove to be wise though. Maybe everyone at the club thought he was perfect for the new team last summer, it's hard to create a squad full of players who are loaned in.

Wake up buddy, they didn't donate a cent after promotion. They would not hesitate to announce it if they invest. It was last years income from player sales we spent in 2007. If you exclude money from sales, we are spending 10 - 20 million per year which is laughable for a team like Juventus. Before 2006 we were okay without any help from owners but after demotion and loss of half of the squad it became necessary. But instead of giving a hand to team to rebuild, they choose cheaper and dishonourable way. So we got Molinaro for Zambrotta, Iaquinta for Ibrahimovic, Secco for Moggi, Ranieri for Capello and Zaccheroni for Hiddink. Poor choice of directors and managers is definite proof of that they don't give a shit about club. Arab owner is not necessary, it should be someone who has what it takes to be club owner. If you have a store either you must fill it with goods or sell the store. Current owners are unwilling to do both.
Exor the company that is owned by the agnelli's and its chairman john Elkann right now owns %60 of the club.
Libyan Investment Authority or LIA owns %7.5 of the club and the rest in distributed among other shareholders am one of them

If the Agnelli's (The Elkanns included?) own the majority, why did they refuse to give some money to the club?! (Assuming Andrea has an influence due to his share)...
I have a store. It is projected to make 20+million this year in sales, and we met our goal of 17.5m in sales last year (just barely). But now that economic times are changing, the way the store operates is changing as well.
We met those sales goals because we were smart where we spent on employee wages, merchandising, marketing, etc. But it was on the store level that we became a leading store for my company on the east coast. It wasn't because the company CEO pumped millions of his own money/assets into the store, we met our goals because we were smart on the store level. And to be honest, we have gotten bonuses for that hard work from corporate. And that is exactly how it works, smart business operations and protecting the bottom line is when you start seeing money pumped into your machine.
Our club has had money given to them, it was just not spent wisely at all, so again I am in the same endless loop of an argument. We don't suffer financially especially when you see how much we have spent since we got back into Serie A.
It's who you buy and how you spend your money that makes success. It's not how much you spend. Look at Man City now, Real in CL, etc...let's not forget pre-2006 Internazionale.
