Now he did have the funds to strengthen that side, but it should still have been inferiour to the likes of us, and the Milan sides.
Capello has a good eye for fixing weak spots in a squad. Granted our weak spots this summer were rather gaping holes, but I really reckon Capello would've done much better than the Tiago, Almiron, Andrade etc.

This example and almost a WHOLE season of stuff like that proves what Fred is saying. His stint with Pool was in overall exceptional, showed he was perhaps the best destroyer and tackler in the game. He isnt a great footballer, but a great destroyer almost to perfection.
I really do think his football really suffered drastically after the eye injury against Benfica, his passing was improving and he had added subtly to his game, but then he lost form and it never came back. His first season was amazing, in the sense that he turned a team who were associated with being quite soft and not able to handle the physical side, to a a team who were able to stand up to the opponents.
So to summarize his Pool stint, first as amazing as he has been for us, then he get a dangerous eye injury, is gone a bit, comes back and only really performs against Barcelona after the injury (everyone harps on the Barca game but he was like that all the time before his injury) but in general had tough time getting going. Was benched every other game, lost his confidence drastically game by game and it showed in his game where he played totally disastrous due to it (this is the time when he was called a headless chicken, but this didnt define as a player in overall IMO, even if he seemed hopeless).
He needed a change because Pool wasnt willing to wait for him to bounce up and recover again due to his simple mistakes (seriously astounding how his performance is linked to his confidence, when missed normal stuff, while for us he is showing blitzing moves like against Inter etc), and Pool moved on with Mascherano (football is tough and harsh sport) who is the overall better player (but even then, Momo being benched or getting sold wasnt something Pool fans expected, until he kept playing like a player with zero confidence). Now he has gotten that change and now plays true to how he was before his nasty eye injury, showing himself to be one of the best destroyers in the game, and easily the best tackler in the game.
Thats Momo in a nutshell, him being a great DM with a monstrous potential is nothing new he has only done for Juventus. Watch that clip I linked in this post if you believe otherwise.
P.S I wasnt sold on gambling on Momo, mainly because he needed a creator instead of a DM, and for the rumoured big price tag, but even then I couldnt help getting frustrated trying to explain to those who were exaggerating 100% of how bad Momo is, tried to no avail explain he has shown he is a great DM potentially even if he looked hopeless after he was benched.

It's not that Dom....
It just doesn't make sense IMO to say under Capello we wouldn't have conceded two goals. Need I remind some of you with the 3-0 against Milan in first half in his 1st year with us?
Ranieri has done some horrible mistakes, but at the same time he has done some other positive things.

Capello was winner but honestly , I hated the guy . He focused more on victory than he did on playing football . I'm a football fan , I enjoy it , I don't like watching games that end 1-0 with 2 chances the whole game . I know some people think differently and are a fan of extremely defensive minded football but I just think it's an effective way to kill the beauty of the most beautiful sport in the world . That said , I have to admit Capello was a master tactician , but not one I would like coaching Juve .
