Suppose this all boils down to us buying too many mediocre players. We should try buying 1 top player/season or possibly pushing 2 depending on revenue. I once heard someone from Bayern (not wanting to keep going on about them. But using them as an example) that they were buying 1 top player/season with the added youth. But this was around 5 years ago or so. You add up all the wasted money shall we say on average-good players we've bought and do the maths. Probably no wonder Beppe is struggling to offload these players or sell them on the cheap as half of them think they're better players than they are and refuse to join the Genoa's & Lazio's because they've played for Juve. Even if it takes another couple of seasons, it'll be worth it I think.

We needed the average-good players to have a solid base to build upon. I mean, look at this shit...

Sorry, but Isla was bought when we were already reigning champions. We already had a solid base to build upon.
Isla is a mistake no matter how we look at it.

Isla was amazing at Udinese. He may have been a risk given his injury and the different style of play Udinese employ, but it was a fair gamble, not that unsimilar from others such as Pirlo or Barzagli. In hindsight, his signing was wrong, especially for the price tag, but at that time, no one could say that with certainty.

ok then,

isla+vucnic+padoin for kovacic :beppe:


they can't resist that!
Mazzari would take just Isla, thats how big of an idiot he is. but this new president would worry me if we were to offer for Kovacic. he seems to be hard to negotiate with. he would asko for isla, vucinic/cash and more cash. + he would rather sell him outside italy :D

:lol: Another poor game. He had that situation in the 2nd half when he could have made something out of it, but his first touch let him down, again. Can't see his future here.

I tried to support this guy, I thought he needed more time to adapt, get his fitness back etc…

Time is up now. Just not cut out for this club. He can probably forge out a good career elsewhere, but he's damaged goods here. Simple as that.

I actually think Conte believes a bit in this guy, and he's not just playing him to give Licht some downtime to catch his breath. Have a feeling we'll renew the loan for another season.

I hate this man with passion.

Cant wait to see the day we convince a team to relieve us from this curse

Please dnt say that.

I want to believe we are giving him playing time to be able to sell him
