Everyones reactions here are just retarded. Chiellini plays left back well in a game once and all of the sudden he is world class in that position. Its pretty well established in the world of football that Chiellini is one of the best CBs if not the best in Italy. Why wouldn't you just buy a good LB and let Chiellini do what he's best at instead of doing something stupid like putting him out of position so he can make way for an average center back? If Barza keeps up his good work then he's earned his spot add a good LB to that and we are a very solid unit down back for the first time in a long time.
I think Rhodolfo is a player we should skip. A 26 year old player in the Brasilian league (not even a big star) will be at best a marginal improvment over Barzagli/Bonucci. I say save the cash for July and buy a defender then or if we are serious about the scudetto spend it on Tevez.

How would signing a 26 year old defender from Brazil compare to signing a 25 year old defender from Brazil who had already failed to make an impression in Europe and returned to Brazil?
Yeah but that is different he failed because of injuries. And yeah I wouldn't gamble on such a player if I were a general manager, maybe I'd be at a loss but there are always viable alternatives to any player.

Blaming a sporting director for not going after a player is silly. There are a million different reasons why a move didn't happen. Blame him for the results on the pitch and for signing shit players and selling good ones.
Marotta did the best possible thing with Giovinco. His price went up tenfold since he's been at Parma and we still have an option to get him back. As for my opinion about him, I don't see him ever having an important role in a team such as Juventus.
