you go on being biased and find a escape from the argument..
it's not our tradition to sign Brazilian players, what a bullshit, our scouts hear and see about Kaka, and they have the opportunity to sign him for peanuts, but nooo! they think for a moment, hmm, no let's not sign him, he is a Brazilian, it's not Juve's tradition. same for evey Argentinian talents out there, even if they can sign him for free, but no they refuse to sign, "IT IS NOT JUVE'S TRADITION"..
are you aware what are you typing???
I dont even think you have read my whole argument and just divulge yourself on one point.
Nevertheless regarding tradtion, this doesnt entirely mean we live by it, but it somewhat apparently seems to occur. I cant find the logical reason behind this, it could be our scouts are somewhat heavy thinkers or it could be as I mentioned earliar that we just dont have much of an influence across the region. Anyway If you have a better reason behind this then go ahead share it but my point is, we have always lacked in signing young exciting south american prodigys and continue to.
This is something I've frankly never understood, "It's not Juve's tradition to buy Brazilian or Argentinian players." Anybody who thinks as such is, I'm sorry to say, an idiot because we have bought players from all over the world, from Poland to Argentina to Hungary.
Apparently these people who happen to defend Moggi to the greatest extent and supposedly know about Juventus traditions have forgotten that we have had some of our best years with ARGENTINIANS on the squad. Raimundo Orsi, Renato Cesarini, Luis Monti, Omar Sivori, among others. Some of these said players are Juventus legends, but oh, I forgot. "It's not Juve's tradition to have Argentinian or Brazilian players." Get the fuck out of here.
Maybe my statement wasnt expressed in the correct way. However sticking to the point these argentinians you mentioned go many years back, well beyond not even you or I can imagine..
Raimundo Orsi - His played for Italy and Argentina infact only difference that stands between him and someone line camoranesi is that Orsi actually had some caps with argentina.
Renato Cesarini - This guy funny enough goes the opposite way, he borned in Italy but went to play in argentina, but another focal point is that he played with italy.
Luis Monti, Argie Italian, or is it Italian Argie.
Omar Sivori, another well regarded argie italian. However this guy does proove your point as he was a young hot prospect signed at 21.. but at a world record fee (at that time).
You gave some good examples, but all of these players didnt play at the same era.. The first three played there football during 1920's + somewhere in the black and white days.. whilst omar sivori was a capture in 1957. My point? my point is that we have never bought superstars (rising hot prospects from that region, and be it for that matter more many at one time. Its been a long time since sivori, Moggi did what many of his predecessors (after sivori) may have done. I hope the management can proove me wrong but in terms of the number of south american legends then really the south americans have always made a handful.. Compare that with the clubs I mentioned in my previous posts, I think then you may get an idea what im talking about.. but please for gods sake dont turn the word "tradition" into some sacred word.. i certainly didnt mean it that way.
