I sympathize with Nick, I really do. Given Marotta's track record when it comes to signing strikers, he has a reason to panic (a bit early though).
Marotta seems to think/believe that players must bend over and prove that they want Juve @ all costs, whereas he doesn't come across as someone who is willing to compromise (all this on our own terms, no bidding wars BS). It's a chicken shit approach tbh.
Marotta has until the 2'nd of September (July would be preferable, since Conte seems to want his full squad ready by then) to get one of those highly rated targets we are after (Tevez, Higuain, JoJo). If he fails by then, he deserves to be questioned.
