We don't really know what happened with Ziegler so we could only guess. But then again, if Conte didn't want him then why did he arrive in the first place? Maybe the just figured out that he wasn't good enough. And why wouldn't Marotta sign Licht for 10 million ahead of Cassani? I bet Marotta rated him higher.
Look, I'm not saying Conte doesn't have anything to say in all of this, but he doesn't pick out the specific players. As I said, Conte is not a scout, he's a coach and works daily with his team and tactics. Its Marotta's job to scout other players and he has scouts all over the world working for him to find the best players. Its Marotta's job to be the expert on the players that don't play for Juventus and its Conte's job to be the expert in the players we actually do have.

I think we're talking past eachother. I'm not actually saying what you're saying is wrong. I'm saying there's more to this stuff than what you're saying.
(knowwhatI'msaying?

I'm not disagreeing with you when it comes to it being Marotta's job to sign players, Paratici's and Marotta's (and Nedved's) job to scout, and Conte's job to coach etc.
But come on, you have to realize that even though a company separates the tasks and assignments like that, of course they're all gonna double check with eachother, and especially with the coach. Let's say Marotta, Paratici and Nedved decide to splash 30 million on a player. And Conte never intends to use that player. There's no way they'd sign a player for that kind of money without making sure that Conte would actually field the fucker.

First off: We agreed a deal with Ziegler before Conte arrived. The time Delneri was manager. Conte couldn't do anything about it.
Oh and I read interview of Conte the other day when he said, after I signed they asked me if I wanted Pirlo or he should be blocked because of the 4-2-4 formation but Conte said it's not a problem.

You support his ideas, but its up the sporting director to bring in the specific players. If you have brought a coach playing a 4-3-3, then you go off signing players that fit into that formation so the coach can use it. And if its a 22 year old Brazilian or a 33 year old Italian its all up to the sporting director to decide.
I doubt that's the case. Conte wanted wingers for the 4-4-2, Marotta proposed Elia, Conte accepted.
Conte preferred Giaccherini/Krasic/Pepe at first, making Elia adapt to the tactics, and then changed to 4-3-3.
Now Elia has to work even harder.
Read an interview of Conte just today about Krasic and Elia. Here's a bad translation:
Krasic? is polite and shy with him, but I feel we play with 10 men behind the line of the ball and Milos needs large spaces.
Elijah? it takes patience. . Juve in my first year I was in a coma .. this shirt weighs, give him time and effort you want to have.

Suns. Seriously. You are right that the final decision lays with the sporting director. But do you really think that Marotta never walks into Conte's office to double check on shit? Do you think he completely shuts his ears to what the coach wants? And don't you think the coach knocks on Marotta's door to inform of particular players he wants?
I'm not saying Marotta has to listen to what Conte says, but be damn sure that he does.

Exactly, thats what I've been trying to say. I'm not saying Marotta bring players that doesn't fit into Conte's philosophy of football because he does. But I just don't think Conte has a say in which particular player we should sign. If Conte asks for a versatile striker then Marotta does the rest. And if he brings back the cheap Borriello or the expensive Benzema, thats Marotta's decision. As long as Conte gets his versatile striker then Marotta has done his job.
