Selling the likes of Buffon and Ale is like selling the inspiration you have left in Juve, today we are still a great club because of the history we have and a legend captain + the best goalkeeper in the world, but these legends became legends because they fought their way through to replace great players at Juventus. If we sell Buffon & Ale today, then tomorrow there wont be anyone to look up to and work hard to be in their shoes someday. I say keep Buffon even if he's worth more than we imagine.

    Serie A likely to be back in black on TV boost

    MILAN, Aug 23 (Reuters) - Italy’s Serie A is likely to return to profit this season, helped by a revenue uplift from new broadcast deals, keeping its third spot among Europe’s richest soccer leagues, a report said on Monday.

    According to a study by Bologna-based sports consultancy StageUp, top Italian clubs will post an average operating profit of 400,000 euros in the 2010-2011 season, as higher TV revenues will offset lower income from sponsors and tickets.

    Serie A clubs had an average operating loss of 8.3 million euros ($10.56 million) in the 2008-09 season, when sponsors and fans reined in spending amid the downturn, StageUp said in the report released exclusively to Reuters outside Italy.

    Broadcast-reliant Serie A will pocket a total of more than 1 billion euros from a new collective TV rights sale starting this season, Stage Up said, up to 20 percent more than last term.

    This will help it retain third place behind the English Premier League and Germany’s Bundesliga in revenue terms despite its low stadium attendance figures.

    “The 2010-2011 season can be considered as a season of opportunities for Serie A,” StageUp said in a statement, urging clubs to develop other sources of revenues.

    European soccer’s governing body UEFA has approved rules forcing clubs to live within their means, with a break-even target by 2013.

    However, Italian clubs might find it more difficult than their European peers to meet the austerity rules, StageUp said, as political and economic uncertainty slow plans for new stadiums and keep investors cautious.

    Juventus, whose new stadium is due for completion for next season, have not announced a sponsor for the arena yet while treble winners Inter Milan posted an operative loss of 150 million euros in the 2008-09 season, mainly due to wage costs.

    Inter had a negative result of a 150 million in one year?
    That is insane! That almost equals their entire revenue stream for the season.

    2013 will be a great year for us anti-Inter people because they're so far from operating within their means it isn't even funny.

    UEFA President Michel Platini: New Regulations Will Bring End To Transfer Market Anarchy

    UEFA president Michel Platini has declared the new regulations to halt excessive spending will bring an end to the transfer market "anarchy".

    The organisation are set to gradually implement new financial fair play rules from next season in attempt to keep a lid on club debt and create a level playing field.

    These measures could put a halt to the influence of billionaire benefactors such as Roman Abramovich and Sheikh Mansour on the sport, and the ex-Juventus and France superstar backs the governing body's action.

    He said: "For years and years we were in total anarchy but the clubs asked for the rules because they knew they could not continue.

    "We can see already that the clubs are spending less as they look to balance their books.

    "This is because the first time the break-even rule will kick in is in the coming year, the 2011-2012 season.

    "It's very soon and this means that the strategy to say 'I can now go and spend hundreds of millions' doesn't work because we will see it in two years at the latest.

    "Transfers have not been as crazy as in the last few years, they are pulling up their socks and the clubs are making special efforts to comply with the rules."

    The legislation will allow owners to inject €15 million (£12.3m) a year into their clubs up until 2015, and then €10m (£8.2m) until 2018. This cash cannot be a loan, which is an approach already taken by the Manchester City and Chelsea hierarchy.

    European clubs strive for balance as transfers slow

    By Antonella Ciancio MILAN, Aug 31 (Reuters) - Soccer clubs will continue to keep the lid on transfer spending as UEFA's new financial rules take effect but higher revenues are also needed to fix bank accounts, an expert from consultancy firm Deloitte said on Tuesday.

    The big European soccer leagues have reined in spending by up to 40 percent compared with 2009, according to a report by Deloitte released after most of the domestic deadlines closed on Tuesday.

    "One of the main reasons for this is that clubs are striving to bring a better balance in the amount they spend particularly on player wages and transfer fees," Paul Rawnsley, director in the Sports Business Group at Deloitte, told Reuters.

    UEFA, the sport's European governing body, is imposing financial fair play rules to oblige clubs to live within their means, with a break-even target by 2013.

    "Maybe UEFA's fair play financial regulations have helped to encourage this financial restraint," Rawnsley said.

    According to Deloitte, Premier League clubs have committed to around 350 million pounds in the summer transfer window, 22 percent below last year's level, with super-rich Manchester City accounting for over a third of the spending.

    Rawnsley said he did not expect European clubs to come back to the spending spree seen in the past once UEFA's rules take effect at the start of 2011-2012 season.

    "I expect there will still be a significant level of transfer spending, but not perhaps as excessive as we have sometimes seen in the past," he said.

    "If clubs' revenues increase they can afford to spend more."

    To contain costs, several top clubs have opted for free loans this summer, a trend seen early this year.

    Juventus, the biggest Serie A spenders, signed Napoli striker Fabio Quagliarella and defender Leandro Rinaudo, and Arsenal's French left back Armand Traore on season-long loans.

    "This means that clubs will get some money to cover the wages of their players and reduce their overall costs," Rawnsley said.

    There were many other loan deals done as clubs look to reduce costs.

    "It's a relative easy way to do reduce costs, maybe easier than sell a player to a another club. But I wouldn't recommend a club to take this in a business plan," Rawnsley said.

    Juventus Squad As It Stands Right Now


    I've made it quiet clear to anyone who follows me on Twitter that right now, two hours after the transfer window closes, that I doubt the full extent of Juve's changes are known. But what if, in the interest of debate, they are? How has the squad changed & what more could be done?

    Since Beppe Marotta took over the running of the team in late May he has gone from zero-to-hero & back as often as Luciano Moggi has blamed Inter for his mobile phone bills.

    So what has he achieved?

    Lets look first at who has left the club; David Trezeguet left for free, saving the club €4.5m in wages. The same goes for Mauro Camoranesi (€3m), Jonathan Zebina (€2.5m) & Fabio Cannavaro (€2.2m). All three had contracts which would expire in 2011, & none would feature in the team, these moves made a saving of €12.2m.

    Marotta also sold Diego for €15.5m, Christian Poulsen (€5.5m), Albin Ekdal (€4.8m), Sergio Almiron (€5m), Cristian Molinaro (€3.9m) & Domenico Criscito (€6m). Also agreed were loans for Sebastian Giovinco (for a €1m fee) & Tiago (€0.5m). Altogether that made the club €48.2m.

    Then come the arrivals. The names I'll come to later, first the figures. Marotta has committed just €26.06m in fees this summer, with deals structured over the next three seasons. That means if the club picks up every option that Juve are tied into €28.3m in both 2011 & 2012, with figure falling to €12.6m in 2013.

    The total spend is €95.26m, meaning a total market operation of €35.22, which given the fact that the club will gain substantial funding when moving to its own stadium next summer is more than manageable for a club the size of Juventus. Again the figures only stand if EVERY option is picked up.

    So, what did Juve get for that money?

    Given Gigi Delneri's steadfast adherence to 4-4-2, lets look at the squad from that angle, first remembering how much younger the squad is now compared to this time last year.

    In goal Juventus are still blessed by the presence of Gigi Buffon, backed up by two extremely capable deputies in Marco Storari & Alex Manninger.

    The defensive line of Motta(86)-Bonucci('87)-Chiellini('84)-De Ceglie('86) maybe young & raw but has the potential to be one of the very best in Europe given that Chiellini is the "old man" at just 26. The reserve unit is made up of Grygera-Rinaudo-Legrottaglie-Traore. Not the best in the world but a vast improvement on last season.

    Midfield was a huge concern last year but now is completely refreshed with Krasic('84)-Marchisio('86)-Sissoko('85)-Pepe('83) being supported by Lanzafame('87)-Aquilani('84)-Melo('83)-Martinez('83). Two players for each position, no really big names to demand starting roles, all hungry & fighting for their shirts.

    Up front there are four players for two roles with Alessandro Del Piero & Fabio Quagliarella playing just off Amauri or Iaquinta. Yes they have injury problems right now, but sure going with that four man attack is wiser than spending €15-18m on a player who would be a fifth choice in less than three weeks?

    No it isn't the best squad in the league & yes it still needs work with obvious changes needed - namely a solid reserve for both full back slots & a top line striker. But it is no stretch of the truth to say Marotta has done more in one window than the previous regime managed in seven.

    Instead of an over-rated over-paid big name for now Juventus fans should look forward to the 2010-11 season with great hope & optimism, for that is Beppe Marotta's gift to us.

    Cannavaro's contract was up, there was an option to extend which was obviously not used. Molinaro was loan with option to buy at a set price, again not Marotta's dealing. We are paying 3 million of Trezeguets wages.
    Did we sell half of Ekdal for 4.8 mill?
    Sissoko starter?
    A defence with Motta and De Ceglie can never be on top. Both have about zero defensive capabilities and in the case of De Ceglie, is only a liability. We should have at least one experienced, capable fullback.

    I don't think this mercato is a failure, I don't think its a success either. Just another average mercato like the one's we have seen from our time back from B. I admit that I expected a much better mercato, but its my fault for getting my expectations up.
