While continuing to play the shitcunt Fagiot and the hapless McNuggets. This team plays abysmal football, and that can't solely be down to the players (although many of them are garbage).

Anyway, NBA season tips off in under 2 months, and by then we'll probably be out of the Scudetto race and struggling in the CL.

At least I have Inside The NBA and Rick and Morty to look forward to.

You know Juve are in dire straits, when a Juve fan looks forward to NBA season more than our season, because said Juventinos NBA team is Orlando Magic. Possibly worst team in the association, the Siena of NBA.

apart from ramsey, most of his signings repaid what we spent one way or another. now calculate what we spent for higuain, costa, bernardeschi, matuidi, pjaca.
Paratici’s signings crippled this club, his only good signing was Chiesa. I can’t actually tell if you are serious or a troll?

Marotta signed: Barzagli, Pogba, Pirlo, Vidal, Tevez, Vucinic, Evra, Alves, Dybala, Khedira, Pjanic, Morata, Lictsteiner, Sandro (he was good then).

You mention Higuain & Matuidi… these guys would stroll into a Paratici team with a cigar on… we overpaid for Higuain but he was still a good player for us. Matuidi was an excellent player in his day and he did his job better than any CM signed by Paratici.

These are players that more than repaid their transfer fee and led us to success.

Who did Paratici sign who we don’t want to terminate the contract of??

From me the the downfall started when Pogba was sold and we re-invest the money on Higuain. From that moment on, our transfer policy makes no sense to me.
And we become weaker year after year to the point that our team is not top 4 material in Italy atm.

What we could still do in the transfer market and gamble to save the season.
Sell any midfielders we can, apart of locatelli and our 3 youngsters.
That will leave us with Rabiot,Locatelli,Pogba and our 3 youngsters. (Do not buy any other midfielder except if its SMS. all others are waste of money.)
Try to buy a player that can create, If its no other option, go for Depay. and call it a day.

matuidi was an eye bleeding player, who sucked ass. not to mention he was supposed to replace paul fucking pogba in his prime. khedira came for free which is ok but he was also half the player he was supposed to replace. higuain and douglas costa transfers can't be explained as simply being overpaid. they nuked our finances so bad, fallout will effect the club for at least a decade. vucinic and evra sucked too. humiliating transfer of morata which is the only example of a so called big club buys a player with buy back clause. his only good transfers were vidal whom he sold to bayern for half of his worth, barzagli and pirlo revitalized by conte and tevez.

he is a catastrophe, he got very lucky to have conte after his glorious start with del neri and he made a career built on that era.

as for paratici signings, pogba and coman were his doing, most probably vidal too. if you think that marotta had any knowledge of players playing outside of italia, especially the youth, you are deluding yourself. chiesa, cancelo, kulusevski, demiral, de ligt, romero all had quality and bright future ahead of them. we sucked at utilizing them but that doesn't change the fact that we were on right path, building a future instead of collecting deadwood like we did with marotta and we are doing right now.

i wish we had a simulation that allows us to pair allegri with marotta and conte with paratici, put them in same league with same amount of money and see what happens. that would spare us a lot typing.

Ok we’re never going to agree and the main reason for that is you don’t have a clue what you are talking about

And you have the bolded part, it’s called Tottenham and let’s see what he achieves there

He is a super obbsessed deluded troll @Mike-e-y dont waste your time.


You cant reason with this crazy mindset. His dying words won't be tender sentiment to family or friends, will be him cursing Marottas good eye to go lame.
Though so - this absolutely clears it up. And apparently Pogba and Vidal (our only good signings in 8 Marotta years of dominance) were Paratici signings. Got to love a troll

it was paratici's job and specialty to find players. you can still try to fool yourself if you really wish to believe that bald fuck even knew who pogba, coman and vidal were.

You might have a point seeing as tici had his eyes on that Georgian kid that plays for Napoli.
Anyway he was dreadful in place of Marotta.
As a talent scout he is still top notch.

Maybe Paratici had an eye for talent but the contracts he offered were ridiculous.
Not only ridiculous downright dumb.
Might made sense if he would have runned an oil club, but not us.
Tek 6.5 million
BonBon 6 million
Agnelli tried to bet big and failed miserably.
He appointed a scout as a sporting director while getting rid of the best sporting director in the country at the time and here we are.

It helps when you build for a certain way of playing. We don't seem to have one at all.

Are we trying to build a 433? If so, neglecting full backs and filling your midfield with players who mostly all offer the same (average) qualities is stupid

For years now we just kind of go after "opportunities " even if we already have players of that profile or we don't really need them.

A mixture of consistently awful mercatos & our team having absolutely no identity beyond playing a really fucking deep line and hoping for the best in attack.

Even if we did start to sign playmakers & more modern full backs, would we use them? Or would we bench them in favour of the same type of players we see start week in, week out?

For the first time in a long time it seems we are building towards certain tactics (a 433).

Kostic, Di Maria and Pogba all fit this, as does letting Dybala go and trying to sign Paredes. The choice of players might wrong but the profiles align. Its something Paratici never did.

It doesn't matter who you buy.
In Juve you start based on your salary.
I't doesn't matter if you are finished, Sandro, Rabiot, Bonbon, Tek you have to play.

Now watch Tek start when he comes back, after Perin had 2 great games, because he is on 6.5 million and "obviously better" than the 1.something million one.

It's a start. Although considering we've been signing freebies and replacing players with cheaper players we really have no excuses to be looking at Sandro & Rabiot + Mckennie having key roles yet again for Juve when on their current level I'd struggle to see them get into a mid table Serie A side. Sandro in particular looks like he should be back in Brazil playing for a random team to sell shirts.
