Ahh, the time to panic has arrived. Couldn't you guys wait 2 more weeks so we atleast know whether Marotta has completely fucked it up or not?

Juventus wil Emmanuel Adebayor op huurbasis overnemen van Manchester City. De Italiaanse club wilde Edin Dzeko overnemen VFL Wolfsburg, maar beide clubs konden niet tot een akkoord komen. De zoektocht naar een nieuwe aanvalsleider gaat onverminderd voort.
Eerder gaf Adebayor aan graag voor de Oude Dame uit willen komen. Toentertijd wilde de Engelse club de international niet laten gaan. Na het aantrekken van Mario Balotelli lijkt het er op dat de spits mag vertrekken. Bij de openingswedstrijd van The Citizens tegen Tottenham (0-0) gaf manager Roberto Mancini de voorkeur aan Carlos Tévez.
Juventus wil de selectie graag versterken met enkele spelers en hoopt Adebayor voor één seizoen te huren met een optie tot koop. Naast de Togolees heeft de club ook interesse getoond in het zeventienjarige wonderkind Romelu Lukaku. Een overgang naar Italië lijkt echter ver weg, want ook Chelsea en Real Madrid zijn geïnteresseerd in de speler van Anderlecht.

In short it says that we might loan Adebayor for one season from City.
Tevez looks to be the starter and with the signing of Balotelli, a starting place looks even more difficult for Adebayor now..
We also showed interest in Lukaku, but a deal for him looks difficult with teams like Chelsea and Real also chasing him.

I don't understand why he would say Giovinco is a very promising talent who needs a season to mature, then allow an inferior club have the option to just take half of his contract on the cheap. Silly.
TMW said we might have an option for him for next summer because he's a smart kid and wants to stay in Belgium.

and guys dont forget financial crisis in the whole world...except from man city and real madrid none else has actually spent to sign players.look at the strongest premier league sides:chelsea liverpool arsenal man und,all the them have made 2-3 signings.not to mentioned that they mostly chose free agents
When I talk about his inablility to finalise deal its not an issue of lack of funds, in fact I'm finding it difficult to think of players that Marotta has been bullied out of signing by wealthier clubs. The players he's been unable to sign are Krasic, the few left back options he's followed and Elia who are all below 15m. Krasic and CSKA have already agreed to a deal what on earth is stopping him? His first excuse was needing to sell Poulsen, now what?
The guy has done nothing even mildly impressive.

-Martinez played plenty of games on the wing. Pepe has cost next to nothing. Both players provide depth to a system that we need to play under Del Neri. We have no wingers, we need them to play in Del Neri's system, we do not have a bottomless pit on money.
-The reason he is going after Krasic/Elia players is that we need more wingers as we currently only have 4 and one of them (Camo) is leaving.
-Poulsen is 30 years old, we need money, he is on high wages. £5.5 is not a bad deal, lets see who we get in before the window ends.
-I agree with you on the selling of players though.
But like I said there is plenty of time in the window left, most business goes through in the last week anyway, so there is no need to panic.......YET.
- They provide depth yes, but to what? We don't have adequate starting wingers in our team in the first place.
- I have absolutely no problem with going after Krasic and Elia. I've been awaiting their signings for far too long now.
- Poulsen was a well handled deal, doesn't mean Marotta picked the right player to cash in on. Now we have a CM shortage to work on next mercato.
that shit, and solve this LB problem for the long term. 
Martinez and Pepe provide depth to the adequate starting wingers that we could sign within the next couple of weeks, during the rest of the Mercato.
We will probably sign a centre-mid within before the end of the window.
Like I said before, there is still plenty of time, there is no point panicing when we may well resolve the very issues that you are panicing about.

Yeah that may be so but how is it logical to sign the backups of players you're hoping to sign in the future 
.
We don't actually have that much time, we're dealing with Marotta here. The man negotiates at a snails pace and he's got under two weeks.
We're going about this all wrong. Signing a CM will just stretch our budget even more, and that means buying average players. We should be signing 2-3 worthy players each mercato and accumilate quality over a number of years. After all, wasn't this recovery process supposed to take a number of seasons anyway? Desperately rushing to cover every problematic spot within one mercato with a small to medium sized budget is just asking not to improve to the drastic mesures we're aspiring to.

I think he has done well to strengthen the squad depth for a new formation. Well that was right up until he sold our CMs. He should have kept Ekdal/Marrone, Pepe is not as bad as everyone is saying, but also not great...enough to get the job done, Giovinco should have stayed for LM (backup at least), the Bonucci/Motta/Storari/Lanzafame are all fine moves.
Just because they aren't "World Beaters" yet doesn't mean they are bad moves and no reason for people to be sour puss's just yet.

while I respect that fact about making a team rather than buying one, it would still be nice to get a player that is more highly regarded. The biggest stinker we've pulled was well over paying for Martinez, I expect a lot of him from his price tag.
