Seeing that Kvara & Haaland were both in talks with juve way before their explosion, scouting was or is not the problem.
which juve jersey number are kvara and haaland wearing?


did u know last "unknown" youngster that was signed that turned out to be a first team player material was pogba. this was 10 seasons ago. feel old yet?

Were or were they not scouted (positively)?

Before dragging other things waaaay off the scouting point into this because buying requires much more than just scouting, don't you think?

You forgot new coach and half a squad :D :b81:
Actually I can see us with a new coach and very few signings.
Midfield - If Pogba comes back we can handle what we have but its a risk UNLESS... Fagioli get chances and takes them.
Attack - We need someone on the left unless we play 3-5-2.
Defense - CB needed as Bonucci isnt what he used to be.
Still Defense - LB very needed since our LB isnt top level and its the case for years..
GK - We can definitely upgrade but its tough to find a good GK on the cheap.

We can do with 1 CB should everyone come back and only get injured like a normal club (3-5-2).
4-3-3 - I guess we can save a bit of money if we have cash problems but a LB is still needed and needed badly..
I still insist that a good motivator will make this team come alive.

Keylor Navas comes to mind.

His mistakes were also signing crap players, other than overpaying (both then present and new incoming players). He had some good signings, but majority weren't
Rabiot or Ramsey were a gamble. They were decent players for their former clubs and if work out well everyone will be happy but unfortunately they both suck here. Signings like Arthur is definitely shit

you right scouting is a tool of managment. ultimatley managment must decide to use scouting knowledge properly.

ours gave away kulu for chump change and didn't sign kvara. but gave 15m a season to not even best mid at manutd pogba

Stop trying to make sense. It’s a hopeless case.
ahh yes i was wondering when you would show up. you've been pretty quiet lately since your daddy allegri has the amazing 2 wins out of 6 matches and 9m salary behind it.

make sense of that

Stop making sense, it doesn’t suit the narrative.

Paratici was good scout no doubt about that , he just was “totally shit” when it came to sign the contract.

Shouldn’t have been promoted

I wanna keep it simple for you guys

If JJ want to become a team that's capable of reaching CL QF again their plans for Winter Mercato must include signing

1) a world-class GK
2) a world-class LB
3) a world-class RB
4) two world-class CMs
5) a world-class attacking player depending on formation

otherwise fuck off and get out of my sight

Rabiot worked out, but he was too expensive still. Ramsey would have been a better fit if he was healthy. Both would have been good gambles on 3M-4M net and if you had Sergej-Pjanic-Barella for example or something. Arthur was a terrible deal. But even then you have the constant overpaying. Even for our current players that were there before. Szczesny, Bonucci, AS, Rugani. Arguably the 2018 mercato you can attribute to him because who knows how much influence Marotta had after opposing the Ronaldo signing. You don't have to just look at the signings made and the excitement factor of each. A good manager would address the squad needs first before making flashy moves. No AS alternative for years, good midfielders only now, letting go of young studs or ignoring others that would have been perfect now for positions of need etc. He was good at looking at a player and saying this guy is good, even when some others might miss it, but he had no clue how to build a team

Finally some LB rumours
Grimaldo is too good to be true because we need to qualify in CL at Benfica's expense to go for him and I am not very optimistic. I guess we'll find out on Wednesday
