Hopefully this will be Marotta's last season with us.
We will need a smart and experienced director.
There are rumors about Capello becoming our director after euro 2012, I don't know if this is a solid rumor and if he would be a good choice.
Pass on him, he is kind of affected with the english hype.
My propose is: cut this GM crap and get a coach with his own ideas, like Mourinho. Agnelli needs to grow the fuck up and deal himself with the other clubs. If he cant, just put someone to do so, but who wont interfere with coach/scouts choices and who is not biased by nationality, agents or friendships (Samp). In fact, we need good relationships with some agents and clubs, but I guess Agnelli could make them for his own. Plus, we could always use Nedved, Del Piero (in the future)...
No, getting Bastos, maybe a striker, defensive minded midfielders, and maybe a centerback would be wiser.
Neymar seems unrealistic as he wants instant glory and sky-high wages.
I dont agree with wanting Neymar, but what, lets say: are Bastos, Rossi, Vidal and Silvestre better options altogether than Aguero and Hazard, for example? I personally think we just need 2/3 players. Let that DM be Melo, give a shot to our CBs and you have a team with two stars instead of one with good depth.
Quality > Quantity
Well, I should just put this quality/quantity stuff in my sign anyway... last season's results seem to be vanishing.
could be ... or maybe Conte just doesn't rate him much (not related to the Aguero vs Rossi matter) and sees him as a last-gasp effort to fill in that LW spot if his other plans don't pan out ... personally, I don't see Bastos as a world beater and he is 28 yo already.
I think Juve could use a player on the LW, who can provide width as a typical winger but also can operate as an in-field mid too - an attacking mid/trequartista - kind of like you guys had Zidane and then Nedved on the left in the tactical formations even though none of them was a typical winger ... I think this would make for a more balanced team and would make less predictable too, considering you already have a typical winger on the right (Krasic).
Players who fit the above profile: costly option - Nani, Ribery; cheaper option (and my personal favorite) - Afellay
This guy knows what he speaks. Having Bastos here would make us a bit one-dimensional and predictable, to say the least. Having Vucinic here would be suicide.
The best options for our left flank are guys like Hazard, Nasri, Mata, Silva and the likes. Afellay would be great too. Versatible and creative bitches. Would give us some "tactical independence", if you know what I mean.
We asked about Ivanovic, AVB don't want him, want some one else for right back.
Marotta is a very good freind with his agent, same agent as krasic.
If he's getting sold, we'll try to get him.
Better defender we could get at this point. Quality, versatible and maybe even cheap.
