If all this Aguero-to-Man City thing is indeed true, there really isn't much Marotta could be blamed for.

the way City closes transfers like this in a few days is by initially offering 42 mil, ATM says no and then City offers 45 mil :) ... this is simply outside the reality of any Italian team, right now.




Juve's only chance to sign Aguero was to close the deal before a high-powered team like City made him their target ... but then again, it's not like ATM were in a hurry to sell, at the beginning of the summer, for less than 45 mil as they knew it was only a question of time before City, Chelski, etc entered the scene ... the conditions for haggling Aguero's price down to something more manageable for Juve simply weren't there.

How exactly is Marotta responsible if we don't sign him?Atletico refused our offer(and it seems we can not offer much more right now), the player clearly isn't very keen on the idea of playing with us and City can offer a shit load of money
How he's responsible? He has had all the time in the world to seal the deal. Aguero has shown interest in joining us according to his agent and its been clear that Real Madrid is a no go for Atletico which has basically made the path straight open for us to finish this deal off with the new money from Exor for a long time. This is Aguero we're talking about, the possibility of having a young player like him in your team doesn't come along too often.

The possibility of having a player like him doesn't come often, I agree but did you expect to sign him in the middle of Copa America?And what if we simply can't afford him??We have new money from Exor but other areas need strenghting too.And when has he shown interest in joining us?

Carlo Nesti: "My apologies to the Juventus fans"

Remember a week ago? "As far as I know, and as far as I'm concerned, Aguero is Juventus." I've written myself, and who knows me knows that I never subtract self-criticism. On the other hand, I photographed the situation at that time. More than one source of authority within the company, knew that the deal was about to conclude, as confirmed by all the Italian newspapers. But the market is a "beast". In Madrid, suddenly, they have "done the smart ones", raising the price so preposterous, and the scenario has changed. I am happy, because I prefer to Rossi, but I apologize, heart, with you

google translation from tuttojuve
Just an "expert" who last week claimed that Aguero to Juve is done, is now backtracking and searching for excuses.

"Oh, it was a done deal, everyone knows that, but then Atletico became greedy, bla, bla, bla".

Then he goes on saying how he's happy he was wrong because he prefers Rossi anyway. Fucking clown.

Nesti is apologizing to Juve fans for having lead them to believe that Aguero to Juve was a done deal. He says that he had it on good authority from an internal source that the deal was about to be finalized but then ATM all of a sudden smartened up and raised Aguero's price by a huge amount, which changed everything.
Nesti says that, even though he apologizes to Juve fans, he is glad things turned out that way as he prefers Rossi anyway.

People are freaking out over an article in the Daily Mail? There's as much substance in what they write as in today's issue of the News of the World.

You're not serious, are you? Marotta offered 10 Million less than the asking price, that's a 25% discount. Why would Atletico take his offer seriously or even have the will to continue negotiating? And please, we have the money to offer more, it's just that our sporting director is stingy.

This is so stupid. We're going to lose out on a player like Aguero and get a player who was close to signing with the mighty Napoli and Tottenham. And I'd like to ask that ass Nesti why the fuck he would prefer Rossi.

This club is really testing my patience.
