We didn't need Jojo, it would make no sense to pay 30 million for him early in the market when what we need is a cf.

Why are we not in for Loic Remy?? I know we have a checkered past with French strikers 
I think I'm quite ruffled by all the rumours of other strikers on the move EASILY of better quality than Bendtner. It's a year loan, I don't care for ages for the year. Adebayor, Roque....easily worth their share at Juve for a year.

I completely disagree with the first part. Dzeko was as willing to come here as Llorente is today. We never went beyond am initial offer if at all we made one. It's not about spamming their fax machines. You'll notice, every big club or the ones you consider Juve to be in the league of, operate very differently than we do thanks to Beppe. When it comes to a specialised position you have to have fixed targets to get you your intended target or close to it. Maybe you don't go after pipe dreams like RVP, but on the other end of the spectrum, you domt go after Bendtner either. What happened this summer is exactly what happened last summer. This shows hoe poorly Marrotta operates, without a fixed plan and budget allocation. Suarez would've come here for 30m. We would be overpaying by 3-4m but it would be completely worthwhile, xoz he'd fit our wage structure too. Liverpool aremt even in the CL, and they would see it as a great opportunity to monetize, but we had to make the move when they were uncertain, not after the player was convinced to stay with a new contract. Same applies to JoJo. 25m would be enough to convince shitty up until last week IMO, but we just went looking for the cheapest option. You will never ever close a deal in your best interests if you operate like that. Nor will you close a deal or intact open talks, if you're attitude is one offer: take it or leave it. Marrotta operates at Juve like he would at Sampdoria.
Imagine, he is the man to have gotten rid of Trezeguet. The mighty fucking Trez, and hasn't replaced him in three seasons here. He talks out of his arse every year. Remember last year hoe he said Vucinic won't block the top player arriving? And then this year, it wasn't his arse talk, it was also a logically required move. But he failed, and he failed so misrrably that you have to see how worrying the pattern of his failures are, three seasons running. Remember the Alves saga last year when we absolutely needed a cb and he failed?? Thankfully Barzagli who was brought in as Legro's replacement found the form of a lifetime under Conte's tactics and guidance.
There's no doubt Marrotta has his strengths, picking up on decent players in the 15m bracket and being good wi valuing contracts. But this team is now harboring ambitions in Europe and for that it needs to sign a certain quality of player. Marrotta is incapable of netting that quality, which is why I feel his job is done. If he coudlnt do it with 30m euros, an undefeated champion rage, a new stadium and board backing, then he's never going to be able to do it. And Llorente I stand by it, will not come next summer. We will need to still pay against the odds to get a new striker, perhaps even more than we would have to this summer, if we played our cards right. This was as good a chance as we had and he blew it. Massively.
