This club lost all sense of planning and strategy since sacking Marotta. Now everything is so random and chaotic, with no rhyme or reason to what we’re doing.
So I guess the everlasting argument of never replacing Vidal and Pogba is no longer valid? The fact we had no bench against Madrid in Cardiff was also a result of this great planning?
Or chasing Draxler for the whole summer just to be rejected in August and bringing freaking Hernanes in January instead was also a masterplan? :lol:
I could go on.

Or signing 28 year old higuain for 90 million euros.

I mean, Marotta did get a lot of money from Pogba's sale, but then went away and wasted it on Gonzalo Piguain, who gave us an amazing year and a half of performances and was nowhere near close to his best at Napoli. We have to keep cooler heads here, Marotta and gang did make plenty of mistakes in the past, like Rinaudo, Traore and the legendary Malaka Martinez. He also sold Diego without a proper replacement that could create between the lines or a proper winger. He also signed Krasic instead of Dzeko and we know how that went.

You know, perspective.

Hernanes came last day in Summer mercato… same story with talentless Lord Bentdner years ago … pathetic moves from our masters
He did? I thought it was January. Again, master planning from his majesty Marotta.

Agreed, the list goes on and on. I guess giving fat renewals to aging players or Ruganis was also a brilliant idea, we just lack vision to see the great plan behind it.

Marotta did have his flaws and he made a ton of mistakes, but we were winning. Now, after his departure, we've become a laughing stock. Abysmal performances, poor results both in Serie A and Europe, and so the issues plaguing us are magnified. We are Juventus, and we are expected to win. No fucking excuses.

Yes, the brutish oaf Arrivederci and Chimichanga have been handed a terrible hand, but they accepted the responsibility, and they need to fix this mess. Zakaria and Vlahovic were a step in the right direction. Targeting fucksticks like Retardi and Plumberson negates all the good work. The verdict is still out on Pogba.

One thing I don't understand about this Di Maria situation - so he does not want a 2 year contract and we do not want a 1 year contract at the same wages as 2 years so we offer 2m less in net wages for 1 year of contract. Di Maria refuses that and instead of offering the 2m extra we go and spend 40m on Berardi? Math doesn't add up, there has to be more behind the scenes with ADM or hopefully it is just posturing on both sides (Di Maria-Barca, Juve-Berardi) to get the other side to give in

Di maria is just waiting to see if he gets a better option

Rugani was renewed by Tici on January 2019.

Still can't believe what this idiot management wants to do as reinforce the attacking section... keeping Morata and signing wingers like Berardi and Kostic...and the Pogba deal still not closed...pathetic.
No problem in the horizon for #Pogba: it's a done deal, but the announcement will be made in July for budgetary reasons.

Maybe we can stop the endless whining about everything and everyone until the mercato is actually done or at least 'till it has officially started.

Yet the fact is the moment we kicked him out, the club declined to the incoherent disorganised and barely functioning mess it currently is right now. So you love going from 45 mins from winning the treble to ZERO trophies five years later under the current management.

Bring up all the individual deals you don’t like all you want, but the reality is, Marotta whether you liked certain moves or not, had a semblance of a plan and an idea in his mind of how he wanted to construct the squad. Kind of worked too when you see how much we won with him in charge.
But go and jerk yourself off over our current status champ. The way things are moving with the current regime in charge even a CL spot looks unlikely soon.

But hurr durr, muh Higuan and muh Rugani and Jorge Martinez :cry:
