[Juve Libnan]

Have you even listened to what Tevez has said?

Dont take everything you hear for granted!!

Did Rooney not hand in a transfer request last season only to change his mind and sign on with United

Didnt Rossi say he wanted to come play for Juve and move to Italy but then a few days later he says how hes
happy in Spain

Funny how ppl say Tevez aint as good as Etoo but Matri and Quaqliarella are good enough for juve!!

Where is the consistency there?

Lol what's the relation.

Tevez is nowhere near the player Etoo is, Etoo've been arguably in the top 3 stiker in the world for the last 5 years.
No one is saying that Tevez isn't a good player but Eto'o is a great player.

That residence or nationality doesn't matter when you try to participate in a football club's affairs either as a fan or as an owner?

Of course it does, the Agnelli family are intrinsically tied to the city of Turin and Juventus, they know the people and understand the club. That goes for anyone else foreign or Italian in comparison. I don't see how being a random fan compares to being an owner but it depends how proud you are perhaps.

That also doesn't mean to say a rich arab wouldn't do a good job. Considering to most football fans now throwing a (seemingly) blank cheque at everything is doing a good job, as long as they can watch the best players and boast to other fans. But then if everyone does that only one club can still win each title each year. If people think these guys genuinely care about the club they are kidding themselves, like anything they will become fond and attached, but they care about their investment and prestige. This is just boasting, comparing prestigious and monetary penises.

The Agnelli does not have motivation...

Yep, that's why we're the biggest spenders so far in this mercato...

But people still bitch.

 

[Osman]

But people still bitch.

Because we ended up fucking 7th in two fucking seasons in a row (and been spending signifcant amounts several years in a row), lovely use of said funds, nothing to bitch about? We spend amounts that can make teams title challengers, and it only amounts us to utter midtable level performances.

 

[JuveJay]

I think post-Farsopoli we spent about €100m net, plus this year which is about €55m or so, will probably be slightly above that once last purchases/sales are accounted for. In terms of fees this should have us steady in the CL places and maybe an outside challenge, but our wage difference is miles off the top CL teams. We've added a lot of good players on good wages, not a few top players on top wages. Either is a gamble, we can't afford any more failures.

 

[Trequartista]

If we don't qualify for CL, we're seriously fucked.

 

[Alen]

I think post-Farsopoli we spent about €100m net

Including the summer 2006 sales (Cannavaro, Thuram, Zlatan etc) and including all the loans and co-owns we're in 93 million eur minus.

2006/07
Sales: 84.3m eur
Buys: 3.5m eur

2007/08
Sales: 28.4m eur
Buys: 62.25m eur

2008/09
Sales: 24.7m eur
Buys: 39m eur

2009/10
Sales: 17.8m eur
Buys: 54.8m eur

2010/11
Sales: 33.07m eur
Buys: 59.35m eur

2011/12
Sales: 11.5m eur
Buys: 74.05m eur

TOTAL:
Sales: 199.77 million euro
Buys: 292.95 million euro

The massive part of the minus (2/3 of it) is from this summer. The players we bought (Licht, Vidal, Mirko) and those loans with rights to buy (Quag, Matri, Pepe, Motta).

It's so well done it's untrue. The Arsene bit is immense.

ranieri said in an interview today that totti is better than lampard and del piero. i think he has them mistaken for martinez and pepe

 

[Trequartista]

Better than Lampard? Probably.

Better than Del Piero? No way.

 

[Fake Melo]

He said Totti is the best player he's ever trained.

 

[Ahmed]

This is just boasting, comparing prestigious and monetary penises.

Juventus does not have a penis.

Better than Lampard? Probably.

Better than Del Piero? No way.

They're different players. He did get to start over Del Piero in the Italian NT though.

The ultimate goal is nevertheless to win titles. You are much more likely to do that if you spend money. Manchester City is in my view definitely going to win more titles than Juventus in the foreseeable future. The owner caring about the tradition and culture of the club is completely irrelevant as long as titles are won. I really think Elkann looks at Juve as either a financial instrument or a very expensive hobby. He's definitely not a hardcore fan frankly because he has plenty of other things on his mind. Agnelli cares because he's the president and it's in his interest to care.
Besides the Agnellis today are what they are because of chance of birth. Didn't they grow up all over the world? Look at John for example, born in New York and then educated in the UK, Brazil and Paris. Not much of a connection to Turin.

I really don't think ownership matters other than it's effect on the influx of money. You could also look at Arsenal which I think is a pretty good example. They don't have a caring majority London based personality as their owner but their fans care just the same. Besides the only way owners can ruin their clubs is to drain them of money.

Besides foreign ownership I believe doesn't really change much about the culture of the club. I haven't noticed Chelsea becoming overly Russian or Man City middle eastern.
