Juventus director general Luciano Moggi is pleased with his work in the summer transfer market.
The club had done relatively little until they swooped for Fabio Cannavaro and Zlatan Ibrahimovic just hours before the deadline.
"I apologise for all of my lies but I have a tough job," he told journalists. "If I told you everything then we would struggle to complete the signings we want.
"Negotiations regarding Cannavaro and Ibrahimovic were difficult but it is just important that they are here.
"I’m convinced that they will give much to Juventus. We already had a good squad but we are now very competitive."
However, the arrival of those two players has seen the club sell Fabrizio Miccoli to Fiorentina.
"We had to sacrifice an important player," added Moggi. "Yet we still own a share in him and we will keep a close eye on him this term.
"Marek Jankulovski of Udinese? If we had signed him too then we would have simply been too strong…"
With the club having unlocked their chequebook over the summer, Moggi has now asked the fans to do the same.
"It is our objective to sell 35,000 season tickets," he continued. "I hope they have the same enthusiasm as us for the new campaign
