- Thread starter Fake Melo
- Start date
The expectations at the beginning of the season were to build a team good enough to achieve a top 3 position in the league, I don't think anyone could have realistically hoped to seriously challenge for the title. I think we're going to have to accept that 'WC' player that Marotta went for was out of our reach so we got Vucinic.
I agree, Marotta went for the players that would help us qualify for the CL and Conte was the man who got us into a position where we could challenge for the title,that is why i love the man.
Having said that Marotta should have got us a quality buy in the winter mercato when we were the leaders and looking good to challenge for the title. You also cannot overlook the two fail transfer windows we had during the dumb nerdy nightmare.

True enough.
Everyone knew Vucinic's weaknesses before we signed him. I'll readily admit he played poorly by anyone's standards in the last match, but the inappropriate formation was a bit of a hindrance as well. He may not be the ideal fulcrum for attack, but put him in a properly coordinated and technically proficient forward line that he can play off of, and I'm sure he'll excel. A Matri that treats the ball at his feet like a foreign object if he's not kicking it and a mentally-challenged Pepe that breaks play more often than anyone in Serie A aren't the exactly the best partners. Even on-form I wouldn't want those two as starters for Juventus. Off-form? God help us (and Vucinic).

he actually is.
just compare his stats with pepes stats. if he was so much better in execution, finishing and decision making you better have more goals and assists in that cack league he used to play in than pepe who actually gets same stats in frickin serie a.
i somehow understood the hype around huntelaar when he had those mad scoring rate in the netherlands, but 4 goals and 2 assists (in 19 games) in the low quality swiss league... how can anyone be serious in thinking he would be better than a player (like pepe) that achieves 5 goals and 1 assists in a more competitive serie a ?
