I know we won't fire him, but we should. The guy have no strategy in the market, no negociations skills, can't handle the media..Takes forever to conclude deals, don't have a reputation in Europe.
He came earlier in the summer saying that Juve biggest need is a striker and now he's telling us that we didn't need one
He's so incompetent and if don't fire him, we'll be ruining a potentially great team with a great coach who can do wonderfull things in Europe with a couple of WC signing, something Beppe can't deliver.
Ruining a great team that he built.
I liked the work Marino did with Napoli. I like their current DS too. I was a big fan of Palermo's Sabatini who is coming into his own at Roma, made some descent signings, but as things stand I think Daniel Prade has shown the most promise this summer.
Seems more like grass is greener syndrome. They might do a better job, but basically there is nothing to actually show that right now. People want a change of transfer scenery, it happens.
How can someone explain to me how he can go and sign Isla for 18 mil and some shit players for as much as 10 and not sign a striker and we end up with freaki,g Bendtner, an Arsenal reject.
No matter how many times you say it Isla did not cost us €18m, he cost €9.4m for a co-ownership. So no, that '€18m' couldn't have been put towards a striker.
Why do we always sound like Marrotta has a list of credits to his name? What were his qualifications before we hired him?? Apart from qualifying for the CL with Sampdoria?? Hiring Daniel Prade, Sabatini is hardly any worse than what we have at this point: a guy who can't sign anybody above 15.5m euros. Or 18, for Matri, was it!?
Can you please state credits for Prade and Sabatini, and why they are not worse.
Yeah, we won the Scudetto, but we did that without a proper goalscoring striker. A top team in any league has a proper striker.
Isn't that contradictory?
And please Nick, stop with BS about how teams aren't willing to sell.
You come with a good offer, teams will listen and eventually will sell in these hard times. Arsenal sold their best player to Man U. Milan sold Zlatan to PSG...
Plenty of good strikers are available, and we end up with freaking Bendtner, The laughing stock of all strikers. Marotta is a fucking disgrace, last year he was running to sign Andreolli on the last day of the transfer and now he signs Bendtner and tell us all how we don't need a striker.
I miss Moggi.
Can I just point out how Van Persie will cost Man Utd £70m over his four year deal; £36m salary, £10m loyalty bonus, £24m transfer fee. That's €88m.
Zlatan will cost PSG €65m over three years.
Martinez, Traore, Rinaudo, Motta, Elia, Pacienza, Ziegler, Padoin...
Really.
We didn't even need money from the owners when we had Moggi. Juve was a self sufficient company.
Different club, different league, we are not so fortunate. Moggi played a part in that, too...
I think he's done a good job, but should be replaced by someone more ambitious. I mean, we don't have to fire him at any cost. But should start looking around for someone with more expertise when it comes to dealing with big transactions. Someone who has knowledge of the Italian market but who isn't afraid of taking reasonable risks.
I don't think there is such thing as a 'reasonable risk', it's an oxymoron. You either go with your model and don't budge, or you go high risk high reward and end up with a possibility of being in a poor financial situation.
For all the moaning going on, it needs to be said that we could be in a far worse situation. Exor won't continue to just throw money at a spendthrift club.
