There's thrifty and then there is stupid. Marotta needs to open up his cheque book eventually because eventually other clubs will catch up. We're clearly by leaps and bounds the best team in Italy but that's not an excuse to underinvest and get complacent. The team has the balance sheet and cash flow to support signings (contrary to both popular believe, we're running an operating profit, unlike many of our Serie A competition including Merda, Roma, and Milan), while Merda clearly doesn't and is relying on investment from the new owner, which isn't sustainable. We shouldn't be losing bidding wars against teams that are financially inferior to Juve, especially when the prices paid are reasonable.

Marotta needs to realize two things:
-You can't always get a deal, you sometimes need to pay a fair price for a quality asset.
-You can't always insist for an option to buy. Any investment requires risk, and the transfer market is no exception. Most teams that aren't in a rush to sell a player will want to sell the player outright. You will only get "problems" like Osvaldo or anally penetrated via Udinese who have made a business off financial engineering and monetizing players with mediocre talent.

The thing is,arent we 'risking' to a certain extent anyway by buying expensive bench players who may or may not improve over time ? If you look at it,we have almost lavishly spent on bench players over the past few seasons and ended up having a pretty mediocre success rate.

Perhaps the management need to evaluate their perspective of 'risk' because they arent doing any different to say,another club 'risking' themselves by spending big on one player who improves the first team quality.

We're just letting inter, milan, roma get the spotlight in the 1st weeks of the mercato and then BANG!!! Beppe gets Firmino and Darmian.

If he manages to get a player like Jovetic we'll be just fine

 

[CAPITANO]

Todays names to are:

Praet, Januzaj

 

[Firestarter]

Januzaj would be cool but it would difficult to execute a permanent transfer. Marotta should be looking at bringing in Matija Nastasić instead of Rolando. He's going go to Schalke 04 on a loan+option deal.

Aush!
Sup brother?

Yeah i agree, Januzaj won't happen. We shouldnt go near Rolando. I wonder how much we could get El pocho for.

I'd love Lacazette.

My g! Coolin' fam, I haven't been on here in like two years lol.

Lavezzi would be interesting if we could finesse the price, Lacazette would be my pick keeping in mind our budgetary constraints though. By the way, Luiz Adriano is a free agent at the end of the season... Anyone...? Bueller?

Mkhytaryan, very funny Di Marzio. Very funny...

Yeah we'd need to get Lavezzi on the cheap.

Too bad there's no way in heaven we could get him. He would be a fantastic partner for Carlitos and Firmino

Give Allegri the money that Mancini had to his disposal during his career and than we can judge.

We both know that Evra is not a first team player he is only playing because Asamoah is injured. How can you say they are not going to stay for the long term, Vidal is 3 seasons here, Pogba two and just extended. Both of them refused big clubs during their career here and Juve refused big money to keep them that proves a point. Even if I am wrong even if one of them leaves or both o them it will be about big money, money that currently all Serie A even some clubs in Europe can dream of and I am sure we will re-invest them. Juventus had a big economical boost from the sale of Zidane the same thing will happen if we sell Pogba. If the rumors are true and we trade Pogba for Veratti and Cavani that's already 5 steps ahead in Serie A ( add the 2 that we are right now) and we will be among the best and most complete in Europe.

The thing is that after 3 seasons Inter finally signed some good players, not a World Class players, players that you need to win. Podolski is a good player same goes for Shaqiri who might even turn out to be a flop ( Iturbe kind of), and yet some inter fans crawled out of their holes, do you know why? Because of that draw against us, remember you didn't get the draw because you played so good its because we stopped playing, all saw what Juve can do in the first 45 minutes that should scare you .

Tevez might leave but we have Zaza, Berardi. Barzagli? Caceres,Rugani, Sorensen, Ogbonna. Lichtsteiner trust me Vrsaljko will come. Pirlo? Do you seriously consider him first team material and key player? He's declining since March last year and I am glad if we are going to replace him with DMF. The only problem that might turn out is Tevez but with the current money this season from UCL + summer budget I am sure we will replace him with an equal quality player. Now you see no matter what your club does they won't attract players like Vidal, Pogba, Tevez and keep them as long as we are, and the only player leaving might be Pogba but as I said the money will be reinvested. In order Inter to win something bro another Calciopoli needs to happen.

The players you mentioned to replace Tevez and Barzagli are not fit enough to clean their boots. Who's going to replace a quality striker like Tevez? Who's going to replace Buffon? Maybe Cavani can replace Tevez but I'm not sure PSG are stupid enough to trade him and Verratti for Pogba. Well, they might be because they bought David Luiz for 50m. Actually, Shaqiri is as big as a signing as Vidal, Pogba and Tevez when they were signed.

As long as we have Icardi we won't be losing to you guys anytime soon

He's more reliable that Tuttosport over the years tho lol.

Yeah we'd need to get Lavezzi on the cheap.

Yessir, tell Agnelli cut that cheque with 48 months installments real quick.

Too bad there's no way in heaven we could get him. He would be a fantastic partner for Carlitos and Firmino

Firmino is really awesome. Himself, Christian Eriksen or Héctor Herrera would be my options to replace Vidal if he dips.

Bro we acquired super-saiyan finesse skills from sensei Marotta over the years.

[Pirlo's Beard]

Just a thought. Would you try the beard behind the forwards and have cheesio in the middle of Pogba and Vidal if we can't land that ¾ista for Max?

I'd try it at first if we were 1 or 2 goals up against nobodies. Tbh at least you can count on Pirlo to see multiple through ball opportunities and pull off some great passes. Plus his lack of defensive ability would be much less of a problem as let's face is all the best TQs are pretty non existent in a defensive capacity.
