nope I never said I expect us to be challenging for the CL but at the same time we ought to be growing in quality by now, if the board are merely satisfied by winning the league and making it to the knockout stages of the CL every year then we are not growing. If all we do is spend a large chunk of our budget on squad players and not improving the quality of the squad then marotta has got to shoulder the blame. I can almost no longer accept this excuse about the 'financial situation' when we spend 13 mill on the likes of ogbonna, 15 mill on pereyra and 20+ mill on morata just to sit on our bench! we should be beyond that stage now and I have never hidden my disappointment regarding last summer's transfers and I wouldn't be surprised to be in for something similar again this summer as we have already assigned a chunk of our budget to pay for these 'option' deals
If Coman and Morata fullfill their potential, we have added quality.
Pereyra showed (ok, not against strong opposition) that he might be able to fill in for Vidal if he would leave.

It's just not that easy to remove players out of the starting 11 when they had a season like last season AND when, up until now, have reached the targets set by the club.
For the coming years, I won't expect to see a Reus or a Di Maria joining juve, not will all the competitors from other leagues joining in the battle for the signatures from those players and having more cash and more options to give higher wages. Because you do know that that is maybe the biggest problem in SerieA compared to other leagues.
(FYI, Even Sneijder is earning 12MEuro/year in Turkey.)

    Basel defender Fabian Schar has encouraged links to Inter, describing the Nerazzurri as ‘an ideal destination’.

    The Swiss centre-back has been linked with a move to San Siro after impressing for his country in the summer’s World Cup.

    “I’ve read the market rumours, they’re normal at this time,” Schar admitted in an interview with Blick.

    “I can say that without a doubt I think Inter are a top club, perfect. That would be an ideal destination.

    “However, I have a contract which ties me to Basel and I’m very happy here. At the moment I’m not thinking about anything else.”

    all I want now in january is that Allegri rotates the team more and start some games with Morata and Coman FFS. He's not developing the guys well enough.

    Also what I want is health. With Padoin being able to fill in the LB position decently, with everybody healthy we'd have decent depth:

    Storari - Caceres, Barzagli, Ogbonna, Padoin - Asamoah, Romulo, Pereyra - Coman, Giovinco, Morata
    But that means we have depth to continually rotate a solid team and keep the team strong...even without a couple injured players. :touched:

    - - - Updated - - -

    The problem in my opinion is not that you blame Marotta, the problem is that according to you, nothing is going right at Juve while, actually, we are still in CL, still in the Coppa Italia and still leading SerieA.
    Can't be that bad, but I feel like you only see the negatives and think that on the transfer front, we can still compete with the big clubs as we could pre 2006.

    just my 2 cents.
    Thank you thank you thank you thank you.

    Keep me up to date por favor, havent seen him for 2 years, but know he would be a fantastic AM to get.
    And only 24 years old. Thought he was older. And I guess, after seeing that Ukraine is not the right move to advance your career, he wants to go back to a more competitive league. That's awesome if true. That's the player profile we should be going after..

    Belhanda ? I'm not so sure about him.

    I feel like he's in the same boat as M'Vila for example.Talent is there but too f*cked up mentally to realize it to full effect.I may be wrong though.

    I wouldn't put them on the same boat. For M'Vila there were quite a number of bad rumours and scandals going on when he was back in France. For Belhanda, I can't remember of anything.

    Also, M'Vila was nowhere close to how good and consistent Belhanda used to be when Montpellier won the championship. He was a leader. We need people like him.
