Maybe because at juve you have a choice between any nationality and at te aazurri Conte does not. Just maybe. Therefor Immobile is a decent pick for the azzurri at the moment, doesn't make him good enough for Juve 'thoigh.

Tevez and Vidal out for 3 weeks, it's Romulo & Coman's chance to prove what they can do. So u said we didn't need depth??
No he's not,he will be checked today.
But it's serious from it looked yesterday,don't think he'll miss the Milan game.
But let's wait.

Those who were mocking abusing and trolling people who considerd our mercato good cause we needed depth, are surprisingly quiet now.
i dont see how anyone cannot realise the importance of decent depth. so now we have tevez and vidal sitting out..as well as pirlo...had our board not strengthened our 'reserves' the way they did we all wouldve been shitting our pants...lets say theyll b out for a month...even their replacements can pick up knocks during that stretch...i think we have about 7 games in 3 weeks or so? what happens when we dont have players out there who arent worth salt? theres some mystical energy that will just see that we win? its never about having filler ballers just to 'save legs' of your 'starters'. its about having a decent and useful roster from head to toe that enable Juventus as a UNIT to play at a certain top level to achieve important results while not diminishing the value of the team's end product.

i have alot of confidence in pereyra, coman, morata, evra(which can free up asamoah for a midfield role when needed..OPTIONS!!!)...shit i was even hoping Vitale cudve gotten a game now and then...i for one believe the money was well spent..i tend to not get caught up in 'star players' because even they are subjected(maybe even more so) to the same levels of risk {playing form, team integration(which impacts form), injuries(they pull alot more attention from opposing team players)} etc etc and the list can go on...

i think ppl sufer from a kind of back-to-school syndrome after the summer where everyones comparing their new shoes, clothes, phones etc..the fine bitch will always be a fine bitch and she already was ballin...roma, milan, inter, napoli the ugly ass hoes that needed to play catchup

win lose draw molinaro to del piero i would bleed for this entity called Juve

marotta (THE guy who's spent so much money on depth) finally being able to provide a semi decent bench is nothing to brag about and his feat rubbed it in his critics' face. I mean if he's to be praised for the bench players he's bought now, then he should be criticized for the crap he bought before only to sell them at a loss.
Imagine if last year Asamoah, Licht, Pirlo and Marchisio were all injured at the same time. We had to start up with duds like Padoin, Isla, Peluso etc. to get us results in the CL. The so called "Depth" he provided us for three years. Those guys were there on the bench just to stay there, not to contribute whenever needed and give us some real quality options when in trouble against top teams.
We were just lucky not to hit any injury crisis the last coupla years, otherwise those were what marotta gave us.

Wel what do you know... We weren't able to buy tons of starters AND benchwarmers. Aren't we a financial superpower? Oh, wait a sec, we're not. We have to take one step at a time. Oh my god, that's horrible.

Yet people wanted us to cash in on Marchisio and Bonucci and use the money for Sanchez... Bring it brehs, once again history proved Marotta right
I believe we have even better reasons cashing in on them now. Back 4, means sell BonBon. Pereyra, Sturaro, maronne, Kwadwo and soon Rabiot means we sell the ghost and invest in Mata/Sturridge

I'm not so sure we will get Rabiot, and even if we do, betting it on him, Marrona and Sturaro is kind of a gamble. Shouldn't we wait and see how they perform first? At least how well Sturaro does in Genoa etc. before even considering selling Marchisio. But i guess your from the anti-Marchisio group since you call him the ghost, and i guess it's hard to reason with you on this subject then, since some on this forum seem to really not rate Marchisio at all...
