Juventus transfer budget 2009/2010 (2 Viewers)

[abejaa]

Guys don't over react. I am with who said that the article mentioned in C4 was about RAISING the budget rather than we spent all we've got.

It was very clear that we wanted D'Agostino but Udinese are simply asking too much. I assume the management contacted this Montali and asked him if it was possible raise the transfers budget to accommodate Udinese's requests without affecting the whole financial base. Montali's press conference or interview states that he said no to raising this budget. I think it is not a coincidence that afterwards Gigli comes out saying that D'Agostino is not a target anymore because of his price tag.

We were following Grosso and Dossena so I presume that we still have budget for another LB/fullback. But that might be it for this summer.

I am very concerned about our backline, as Rab said. lets take a look at the CBs we have:

- Cannavaro
- Chiellini
- Legrotaglie
- Ariaudo (we still have him right?)

Its an "ok" defense. Nothing very impressive. The only impressive thing "on paper" that this is the Italian National Team CB lineup (if you exclude Ariaudo). The worrying part was the poor performance Italy has shown in the confederation cup.
Honestly speaking, I am not so worried about Italy's performance in the confederation cup, I think that Buffon and the defense line are the last to blame, with Lippi being on the top of the blame list.

Our fullbacks are not upto the teams level. Grygera/Zebina and Molinaro/DC should not be starters. Its ok if we have them as backups, but definitely not starters.

I think our targets should be:
1- Securing LB
2- Securing a RB
3- Securing a CB

RB, Zebina is pretty good, but what im worrying about is, his injuries, Salihamtizich could be a great RB too believe, he can defend well, and he can cross because he is a RM (remeber Zambrota used to be a RM, then he moved to RB and he was pretty good, until he went to Ac milan), so there is nothing to worry about RB (so we will have Grygera in any case)
We really need a LB, I don't trust Moli unless ferrara teaches him how to cross. I see De ceglie more as a LM, so we could be left with only one LB, and he is Molinaro. We should buy santon since we can get him with 6-7 million, and he does want to come at juve. Our midfield and attack is great, more we change worse we make. that's it, I hope Chiellini and Legro will make a good partnership, cos I don't trust that shit cannavaro. I hope as well we sign a good medical stuff, cos last year too many injuries! that's it we don't need to buy like real madrid does, cos we won't be a consistent team, , we are almost a completed side.

HA!
That must be a joke...

I completely disagree with you. We do need a right back, and we are nowhere near a complete side. We need a midfielder who can dictate the tempo of a game, control the midfield, and possesses impeccable distribution. However, the priority at this point in time is finding reliable and consistent fullbacks. Sali is good, but nowhere near good enough to be a starter, let alone our starting RB. As for Zebina, well he was good back in the day; currently, he has too many issues and is injure prone. Grygera typifies inconsistency; he can play 8 decent games a year and then vanish, or in some cases become utter shit in the remaining 40-50 games.

When it comes to the LB position, we seriously need upgrades. Moli is a turd, and nowhere near starting quality for a team like Juventus. He has improved, but he will never be that solid, reliable LB we are seeking. As for De Ceglie, he has yet to convince me. He is good going forward, but very suspect defensively.

We also need new CB's; perhaps not this year, but definitely next. Legro is not a spring chicken anymore, Canna should have retired already, and with Mellberg gone, we are quite thin in that department.

Bottom line: We are very dangerous forward, and with the addition of Diego, coupled with the rise and prominence of Gio, we can become very dynamic and unpredictable, spectacular even. However, we are quite weak at the back, making us anything but a complete team!

scary thought

 

[Bianconero81]

I totally agree

 

[Suns]

We have e budget of 25 million and Real Madrid have a budget of 2,5 billion.

 

[El Santo]

I think you mean they are 2.5 billion in depth.

 

[Bianconero81]

Meters or KM? That would be way too deep

 

[white_rabbit]

Actually the Real Madrid took a 150m loan to finance their transfers in addition to the budget of 90m. their total transfer busdet is around 240m. 2.5bill is the club value)

even if our board is willing to take the risk of such a loan there are restrictions from FIGC regarding the amount of debt any Italian team can have at any time.

as for juve's remaining budget,I believe we still got at least 20m left (probably 25-30). we can still get two transfers.

Cobollo confirmed it, we have 0 € for mercato and we won't buy a shit unless we sell.


“Our market is blocked by players who don't want to be sold. Sure, before we can buy we have to sell.''

 

[Marc]

That's not much different from Moggi era. The difference is that Moggi could sell, unlike Secco. He gives players too high wages and buys players who know that they won't be bought by a club such as Juve again so they don't want to leave.

No, he didn't confirm what you are saying at all.

 

[Salvo]

we could still have some left in the transfer budget but we need to rid ourselves of baggage first.

 

[Red]

I love how people are blasting the board for not having money when in fact they don't know dick about the reality of the situation

speaking of stadiums have we given naming rights to anyone yet? and if or when so where will that money go to?

We appointed a company to sell the rights for us, but I'm not aware of there having been any further developments.

That money probably went straight into the construction costs of the stadium.

 

[Alen]

No, he didn't confirm what you are saying at all.

He said this:

"La Juventus per comprare deve prima vendere. Poulsen è uno dei giocatori che abbiamo messo in vendita e in linea teorica anche Trezeguet, ma le probabilità di trovare per lui una casa adeguata e avere in cambio i valori a lui altrettanto adeguati sono decisamente inferiori. È chiaro comunque che dobbiamo accelerare i tempi: sarebbe molto positivo se potessimo comunicare le cessioni e i conseguenti acquisti entro una decina di giorni".

He said that we'll have to sell before we buy. Poulsen is one of the players that we've transfer listed and theoretically Trez is also for sale, but it's more complicated with Trez because Trez could leave only for a big club (actually, adequate club for him, whatever it means) and only when Juve will get a satisfying ammount of money for him. He also added that it will be the best if we can do all this (sell and then buy) in the next 10 days.

I know. But it doesn't mean we have nothing to spend. Our priority is a midfielder from what I've heard and then they'll concentrate on defence, so if we're targeting a midfielder whose asking price is 15 m euro we can as well have 10 m for midfield area and still we're "blocked", because we lack a few millions.

True, but it doesn't change much (at least for Turk).
~10m or so still isn't enough to make the team competetive and the fans hoped that we have enough funds to strenghten the defense and midfield. The way it turns out it seems like we had funds (before selling) only for a player or two.

And also, we got 8m eur from the sales of Criscito and Mellberg. These 8m might be the only money we have right now and it might turn out that the money we paid for Diego were actually all the money we had in our budget before we started the sales.

I guess Ciro's plan of having the complete squad before the 5th of July is out of the window
