cmon, any reasonable person would have felt that way, except for ciscito
Actually, i also wasn't delighted with the signings of Sissoko and Iaquinta. I wasn't against them but i wasn't very happy either.
On the other hand, i was impressed with the Tiago purchase.

I mentioned them in order to show You how fans can be dead wrong. My intention wasn't to make fun of the fans :)

Good post, sateeh.

I think they are voicing their opinion and its due to the lack of trust in the board.
This board is yet to earn the trust of the fans, you're certainly right about this. But if you take a closer look why is this board being so hated by the fans you'll see that it's due to many reasons, most of them wrong :

1. They replaced the beloved Moggi (it's not their fault they replaced him but they did and that's why they are bad now. That's psychology though and i don't really blame the fans for this. I expect the similar to happen to the poor guy who'll replace Del Piero when he'll retire)

2. They sold our stars (not their fault again, they had to do it, but the guys who sold Cannavaro and Zambrotta are authomatically incapable.....at least when you look with the eyes of the Juventus fans from 2006)

3. They replaced Thuram, Cannavaro, Zlatan, Emerson, Zambrotta with Bojinov, Zanetti, Palladino, Marchionni, Boumsong (again not their fault. In the minds of Juventini it's impossible to understand how could we replace world class players with average/bad players, but somehow people forgot that we were about to play in serie B)

4. Deschamps gave his resignation (now, the fans could be right here. The board might be guilty for this and they may have been wrong. We have no idea what was happening inside the club, though.)

5. Buffon will leave Juve, he'll go to Milan. Trez will leave us and go to Monaco while Camo will leave us and go to Inter ( everyone attacks the board during the mercato. Of course, none of this happened but at the time it seemed like it could happen and the fans remember that the board is incapable, they don't think anymore of the reason that made them think that way at first place)

6. Juve buys Iaquinta (awful player and awful decission by the board - the fans say)

7. Juve didn't buy vdV, Diego and Huntelaar (how could we not buy these guys ? No other team bought them and we weren't really in position to splash +20-30m for one player, but not buying them is a good reason to hate on the board.)

8. We didn't buy Milito (at the time Milito seemed like a world class defender. Ok, maybe the board should have acted much quicker but he was really expensive and a team that just got back from serie B and that was financially inferior to all the Barcelonas, Milans, Inters and Chelseas couldn't beat them on the market)

9. We sold Balzaretti ( imo, not a wrong decission but lets say that i can accept this as a bad move by the board)

10. We're going to sell Chiellini (we didn't at the end and we decided to keep him. The situation is similar to the situation from #5)

11. Now the season started and many more reasons to hate on the board..... Why the hell did we buy Tiago, Almiron, Criscito and Andrade ? (now we're hating the board for the same reasons we praised them only few months ago)

12. Why did we sell Mutu ? ( at the time, Mutu was probably the only one no-one cared about when Juve were selling players. Now after 2 years we hate the board for selling him)

13. OMG, we're going to buy Sissoko. The shittiest player in the world. Are Secco and co amateurs ? Call back Marchisio don't buy Shitsoko.

14. The papers say we might sell Giovinco (Cobolli said numerous times how Giovinco is untouchable, but we decided to trust the newspapers. One more reason to hate the board, they want to sell Giovinco)

15. Stankovic....


You see, the fans thought the board is incapable. As time goes on the fans still think the board is incapable but they slowly forget why did they think this way at first place. They only remember that the board is incapable.
While in reality, they think this way due to many wrong reasons that seemed like right reasons at the time.

If we buy Stankovic, we will have to get rid of Marchionni!
Neddy, Giovinco, Camo, Stankovic and Salih are enough to cover our wings!!
Giovinco will def have his chances, CR will try many more schemes and he might try him in different formations than our typical 4-4-2
Giovinco is versatile and very capable, dont worry about him.
I think its time to get rid of Marhionni, i ve always had faith on him, i still remember his spectacular Parma days, but we cannot depend on him, he is not just injury prone, he is the definition of it!!
Upgrading a waste of space and salary, dead wood in our team, with a useful more versatile and potentially higher class player is a good deal.
Marchionni's salary would pay Stankovic's half salary,
Marchionni's transfer fee, will pay Stankovic's half transfer fee,
we are practically upgrading from a constantly injured player to a useful available one.
Stankovic will be much more useful than Marchionni and Salih on the wings and if necessary he can fill a place in the center too, where those guys couldnt...
Remember that we agreed to give away Palla and we will need a LM at the beginning of the season, well Stankovic will cover that need too...

I think Stankovic will come because we are not buying other star midfield players like Xabi, Deco etc. We should do something to force Secco, Coboli Gigli, Blanc and Ranieri to be sacked as they dont know what they are doing. With the 23m spent on Amauri (which we dont need) we would have bought Deco, a playmaker which we need desperately. And no LB is coming. Dont Ranieri know how stupid Molinaro is? Can we continue to play with him? And why he wants to buy only players playing in England exept Amauri? Why we bought Mellberg? He is not a star, infact he played with Aston Villa not with Man Utd. We are only buying very low quality players like Tiago, Almiron, Mellberg, Molinaro, Grygera, Stankovic etc

“It is only right that the fans express their opinion, but the club must make its decisions on a professional basis taking into account technical requirements, costs and other situations,” noted Blanc.

Well hes right with that statement. He also said that he wants the final team to be assembled by july 4th which means from what I understood, that stankovic will be signed and another keeper most probably roma from monaco, ending our mercato.

I officially declare my hatred towards our board, as I was desperatly wanting to give them a chance.

How professional is Blanc? Today week we will start the pre-season training without any star midfileder and defensive players. Professional by spending 23m on Amauri which we dont need. he could have used that money on a useful player.

Blanc: Fan Protest Won’t Stop Stankovic Signing

Juve have been in advanced negotiations to sign the Serbian international, and it was reported on Friday that a transfer fee and personal terms had been agreed, and that Stankovic could sign for the Old Lady within days.

Juventus supporters last week campaigned against the possible deal, and following the news on Friday that the transfer was close, they launched another protest by starting a petition.

“It is only right that the fans express their opinion, but the club must make its decisions on a professional basis taking into account technical requirements, costs and other situations,” Blanc told Tuttosport.

“We are looking for a quality midfielder and a goalkeeper. We don’t want to take the fans for a ride and will keep our feet on the ground, so those are the only arrivals.

“Our objective is to have the squad completed before the start of pre-season training on July 4. This is the approach we took last year and it proved smart, as it is important to ensure the group gels quickly.

“The next seven or eight days will be very important to finish off the final negotiations. Naturally if some talks required a little extra, I wouldn’t cut them short just because the training camp is opening.”

Juve have already so far snapped up Amauri from Palermo and Olof Mellberg from Aston Villa.

A positive sign IMO,

Don't rush.
I'm also scared that we may actually buy Stankovic and no other midfielder (Xabi Alonso) but lets wait until Friday.

Last year they also said that no more players will be bought after the pre-season training started and they didn't lie.
I'm afraid it's going to be the same this year, but i still hope that Xabi will be the midfielder.
And since the original source is Tuttosport i'm not so sure that 1 midfielder and 1 goalkeeper will be the only arrivals.

We can wait till friday alen, but we both know that it isnt looking bright. I mean just look at our rivals transfers so far.

Blanc is either an idiot or an idiot, nothing else.
