I don't have a reason to not think we're going for a quality forward for this mercato.
Beppe has been quite accurate in describing what I'd like. No prima donnas, we need someone to fit the mentality of this already good team under Conte.
I suppose that this point largely comes down to terminology. I was really hoping we'd prioritize an established star up front, as it's obviously our primary need, and for the fans it would be nice to replace past stars, signal intent, etc., etc. That's not necessarily the way the market works, obviously. Recognizing and seizing good opportunities is so important.
I'm all for finding someone who fits, and buys into the team mentality - that's a philosophy I 100% agree with, and I do think that's what Beppe's theoretically trying to do. It's a fine line, though; yeah we want someone who will work for the team, but we'll eventually need a prolific marksman if we want to be considered amongst the very best in Europe.
That might have to wait until next year though - which would be far from the end of the world considering the caliber of the players who have already arrived, and the strength of the current team. Prima donnas are not welcome in Conte's Juventus - no doubt.
Anyway, there is still a ton of time left for moves... I'm just a little nervous, given how much we've already committed to spend, and the fact that GM has a lot of players to unload. As I mentioned earlier, prioritizing hasn't always been Beppe's strength while at Juve, and I'll feel a lot better once we've added a CF and a LB - which I felt were our two biggest areas of need heading into the summer.
It would be even better if those players were acquired in early July, so they can get integrated into the team during camp, especially the CF, as one would have to assume he'll be a starter.
