If Giuntoli was considered so bad by the club that he had to be sacked, then how come we’re basically starting the season with the same squad he built? I mean, the players he signed were apparently good enough in the club’s view. So why sack him then? and what was Comolli supposed to do? Was Comolli only supposed to make permanent the two players Giuntoli had brought in on loan? And he couldn’t even manage to do one of them.

The issue with your analysis is that you actually think someone in this club has common sense. We operate without a plan and it shows

It’s honestly a joke. We sacked Giuntoli supposedly because we thought he was doing a terrible job, and yet we’re starting the new season with the exact squad he built and the whole summer our new director has basically been busy trying to make permanent the two players Giuntoli had already brought in on loan, and even David was Giuntoli’s target and negotiations started under him. This club is just hilarious.

Or how about you simply accept that we need players in all the required positions including those occupied by Yildiz and Chico? They're all equally urgent as far as I'm concerned, 1 injury or suspension anywhere and we're screwed. I'm not going into one of those dragged out debates about how one position is more urgent than the other.
That is the one position, the guy you mentioned (Miretti) can actually fulfill (plus CM but we ain't looking at those) and Kolo Muani can too. So it should be the least of our worries 'till the rest is fixed. CB (quality wise), LB and RB all more urgent needs imo plus Kolo Muani imo even at 60m (which is too much when you look at it in a vacuum).

.
In the last summit, Tudor highlighted the need for reinforcements on the flanks. He will soon have Nicolo Savona back, who alongside Kalulu as seen on Sunday can fulfill the gaps on the right flanks. Juventus had hoped to sell him for €20m but no offers arrived.


The opportunity of Arnua Martinez (22) continues rise as Girona have set a €14m release clause that probably could be lowered €10m. Juventus tried for the swap of Molina with Atletico Madrid but that option never gained traction (@NicoSchira / @tuttosport )
So I hope this is true.

Not so much the quality of these players but his manner of dealing and his head up his ass following of Motta were the deal breakers probably. His image was already too stained.

And Huijsen-Kelly ofc...

Do you know Comolli track record at spurs liverpool and other clubs ? He is as incompetent as Giuntoli.
"Damien Comolli spent €22 million [£18.7 million] of our money on seven players in summer of last year. Only one is a first-team regular now. We gave him the keys to our club and are now in financial difficulties. My own view of Damien is he favours size and strength as the qualities he goes for first. Perhaps, he will do better with more money at his disposal at Liverpool than he did with us." Bernard Caiazzo Co owner of Saint Etienne

Arsenal already have Gabriel, Saliba and Calafiori, and they still went and bought Hincapie. These English teams are building such complete and powerful squads. Honestly, even reaching a Champions League semifinal feels years away for us, let alone winning it.

Juventus will continue to push to sign Randal Kolo Muani this week, where an economic effort is needed to meet the loan plus obligation for the Frenchmen set at €60m. The deal is independent from Vlahovic’s situation (@Nico Schira)

Comolli will meet with Vlahovic and his agent Ristic this week! The Serbian and his agent want to see out the final year of his contract so they can ensure a larger bonus next summer with a large agents fee (@Nico Schira)
I hope that piece of shit ends up at Lecce or worse next season.

I would laugh so hard if arsenal win fuck all again this season. Infact I'm almost willing it on.

The data-talker is so far at least not as bad as Huijsen seller. But that we hired the data-talker is the depressing subject. Our management hired this clueless mouth, our problem is not necessarily that this man is here, it is that people here hired him. Those are the heads that need to be rolled.

Lol Djalo for 3.5 mill to Besiktas... we couldnt even get the 5 mill we wanted :lol:
Badass, you are definitely the most negative fan I know. To be honest, 3.5m is good (small plusvulenza and no wages to pay). The guy played only 8 games in the portugese league last year and he has played a total of 19 minutes since joining Juve - Motta and Tudor very quickly decided they didn't want him. Just because you "ask" for 5 doesn't mean you can get it.

What was is it you were trying to shut us up with last summer when we were mentioning Huijsen? Please remind me, I kind of forgot.

Shitty accountants

We paid € 3.6 million, payable in three installments with ancillary costs of € 1.5 million.
Furthermore, bonuses up to a maximum of € 2.6.

We don't know what the bonusse were about, simple ones like Juve qualifying for CL and some personal ones I presume. Either way like for like its a loss. We made zero use of the guy.

Don't know how anyone can find positives in a heap of incompetence that we've seen over the last 2 or 3 years to say the last.
I dont know maybe you can enlighten me as to when are we actually going to address the holes we have with mere days to go left of this window.

There is new management that is trying to unwind bad decisions from the previous one. There is nothing they have done so far to say whether they are better or worse. The David transaction was opportunistic and good. But its too early to judge is my point. The reason we are leaving it late is because we have to clean things up first presumably.
