And if we win another league title and do well in the CL I can't wait to hear your excuse.


I guess we will all be waiting for this time next year, huh? :tup:

:lol: Every summer its the same doom prediction. Of course theres bound to be a season where we wont win the scudetto and the pessimists will scream "I told you so!" but so far the past 4 years we have been collecting trophies like theres no tomorrow all thanks to the genius that is Marotta. After our undefeated season I learned to shut the fuck up and trust the man.

We all fall pray to individual decisions but I think more in the big picture as in all the pieces of the puzzle and how they will fit together over the course of the entire season. Much to popular belief I'm sure, I don;t think every signing we have will be a success rather I see the potential and try to focus on the "why" the club signed them rather then infamous "fee" people are going on and on about.

I've noticed the negative people here tend to focus on the ONE move they really don't agree with and that sets the pace for everything else beyond that move. Suddenly everything else must be questioned endlessly as if there is some retarded motive the club has. You know, like some seem to think its only a money maker for the evil owners...a "pet project". Doesn't matter how many times we win, how far we make it in whatever trophy ambition we have the same people come back to complain.


It's one thing to debate and question logically but some take it to such a level its almost laughable. Very little middle ground as we all know. My biggest issue with Marotta is always and will always be his selling ability. This year seems to be doing better but that's his weakness. As far as adding new players I trust he & Paratici 100% and if that makes me an overly annoying optimistic delusional fool then that's exactly what I am. :tup:


Seriously. Awesome post.

I watch Juve for enjoyment. To cheer on my team, be happy when we do well, be a little sad when we don't, and always support it. The day I start to be negative about everything Juve-related is the day I realize I shouldn't be watching this sport anymore.

Agreed..
marotta "calmness" not in the rush to brutally purchase somebody must be telling something..
Him and allegri must have Plan..while it will success or not, i dont know but those 4 years makes me trust him..

Our players this year will provide many alternatives solution..well except in the backline.

they will claim that nothing can be done to outbid epl teams and that juventus has no money.

except to sign players on last year of contracts for 40m and 3rd choice CF for 18m.

but remember, no money*


*unless you play in serie a for midtable teams
Whoever comes with the statement "we don't have money" should be shot in the head, seriously. It's one of the stupidest statements out there.

Yeah sure we don't have PSG, City or Madrid's money. But we've been constantly one of the top spenders in Europe for the past 5-6 years. Just look at the numbers, and you can't fault that.

Asamoah and pereyra where meh.

Asamoah who has been twice in the serie a team of the season

Pereyra who is widely considered an excellent signing and fully justified his price at the end of last season


are meh


Sure.
Price wise yeah. Wouldn't call it a steal would you?

I'm so sick of reading "but we've been winning trophies" as an excuse to defend the board and their actions this summer. For the first time in 5 seasons I can honestly say I don't feel confident going into this season, I for one actually think we have weakened somewhat even if the departures of Pirlo and Tevez couldn't be helped but Vidal's departure with what seems to be a poor plan in place. Up until this season I don't recall in the previous 5 seasons where we are still putting vital pieces of the jigsaw together at this stage, usually we would be adding 'depth' or young prospects, this is hugely worrying in itself.

Vidal is not the biggest loss anyway. Nor is Pirlo in fact. Losing Tevez will be felt this season unless we sign a top class AM.

Too many people are pissed here for the wrong reason; Selling Vidal is not what people should go about here but rather lack of quality AM which should be signed with Vidal's money easily. We lost Tevez who carried our attack and scored a lot of goals. As for Vidal - we have enough muscles to replace him: be it Asamoah, Khedira or even Sturaro.

Dybala alone won't be able to replace Tevez that's why we need a proper AM who will create, score and assist. I expected to see a proper name (AM) coming here after we sold Vidal but it seems we're having big problems with it and that's my biggest worry. As long as Beppe lands us a proper AM + decent LB we'll be fine. We might not win Serie A again nor get to another CL final but in the long term we should be just fine.

No, but very good deals. There's a middle ground between a steal and "meh". Peluso, Giaccharini were meh.
Giacherrini was a steal and his value increased afterwards. That was a great piece of business.

If we are to sell Asamoah or Pereyra how much would we get for them? less than what we paid? maybe the same as what we paid for them? Certainly not more than the 18-20 mill we paid for them. 20 mill for any of these players out of Udinese was expensive.

In any case, I dont really care much beyond just saying that it wasn't all great business all the time. Zach ignored my main point and went for the meaningless details. Management had some very bad deals and they do make mistakes. Regardless of the mistakes and inefficiencies that could have been avoided, the total result is steady and rapid growth. This is what ultimately matters. That was my main point.


Barca has some terrible transfer market business in the past (Ibra, Eto etc..) but overall their management over the last decade have transformed a club that was nothing special and was going through a terrible dry spell into a club that is by far the best in the world over the last decade and grew into a financial powerhorse. Any Barca fan that focuses on 15 more mill that could have been gotten off of the sale of eto to say that management sucks definitely has his priorities fucked.

:lol: what a load of shit. After Conte ran out last season and we replaced him with Allegri, you went full on retard and predicted the beginning of the end for us. Don't make me pull up the posts.
difference is we were at least adding quality to our team like Morata. Can you honestly say we are stronger this season? no I wouldn't say so especially if we go into the season without a good AM in place.
