What's great about Conte is that he thinks of Juve as Juve were pre-Farsopoli. Ranieri, Del Neri, and our dear Marotta forgot that about us and it reflected on our signings.

Real wasn't in the picture when we were after him iirc and Xabi was actually willing to join us. We were playing in the CL at the time and we had finished runners up in the league.

Juventus GM Jean-Claude Blanc has explained the signing of Christian Poulsen.
The Dane was unpopular among fans and the media before his move to Liverpool.
“Claudio Ranieri made the decision,” said Blanc. “We told him both options were open: Poulsen or Xabi Alonso.
“After a few days the technical staff confirmed their decision was in favour of the Dane and so we signed the player who was most congenial to Ranieri’s style.”
