Hmmm... I wonder if they plan to move Chiellini back to LB like I've seen suggested. Not cool.

This one move obviously won't do much/any damage to Juventus' image. It's a players who arrived on a bosman, and who knows if the rumors are even true.
However, the cumulative effects of 22 new faces, a ridiculous number of loans, and buying players who are either sold, or attempted to be sold the following year creates a perception of instability that can definitely be damaging to a club's image. Fans will be frustrated with the wasted funds (and will obviously respond negatively, which certainly can affect team morale), neutral spectators will find it bizarre/laughable and players will see all of that unrest, all of that turnover, and question the direction and leadership of the club. That's just the way it is. Teams that are successful generally have continuity, and this club has little of that.
Signing Reto was a fairly silly move, considering it's always been apparent that he's not a significant upgrade to what we had (and apparently, judging by the preseason, Conte thinks he's worse than what we have - or at least worse than PDC).
You can always count on the media to stir shit up though. That type of drama sells papers (or draws hits for their website).
