Maybe but it was reported many times that the players we failed to land were because Conte didn't want them. I don't buy this excuse, it is just given to please the fans instead of showing where the real failure lies.
Yep, that's papering over the cracks that shows Marotta is incapable of negotiating for high value players.
Listen, Marotta has done a great job rebuilding Juventus into having one of the best squads in the World and he definitely deserves praise. However the difference between a good SD and a special one is the ability to land special players.
As said Marotta has gotten away with the quantity over quality mindset because some of the players he's signed have turned out to be quality however this was only achieveable with a manager we good as Conte.
This summer though, Juventus only need one player, yes one player. However that player needs to be a special player. Marotta if he goes signing players of Osvaldo ilk, he will be deemed a failure for this summer and for me should pay for it with his job, so we can bring in someone who can negotatite for high value players and get them. Financially Jovetic is easily affordable for us, its how Marotta uses the money. If I were in his position, I'd spend the budget on Jovetic after redeeming our players on loan and close the market for incoming buys.
You just know we'll get to know summer and he'll go for Osvaldo because he can pass him off as an improvement and he's in the range of Marotta's negotiating skills. We'll be in for a rough ride next year if so.

I fail to see how he'd be an upgrade. Enough wasting money on stop gap solutions.
