Players care about the money, Marotta wants to sign the like of Aguero and Dzeko for 20 mil, that won't happen, and then in the other hand he goes and overpay for mediocre Italian players, 15 for Quag, 18 mil for Matri, 7 mil for Giac, 10 for Pepe, 6 for Padoin, 15 for Bonnucci....
That can't be overlooked, I agree that Serie had a major fall, but we are coming off an unbeaten season, we have the money and yet he can't fill our most glaring hole and it's likely that will enter this season with it unadressed.
likely, but not quite set in stone just yet. I think that what people are slowly starting to come around to is the realization that one very successful season doesn't suddenly make Juve major players in the market yet. Financially speaking, they can, up to a point, but in the case of the perspective of the club in the eyes of players out there, I think that it is a situation of "Show me what you can do on a consistent basis."
I, like many others, wished and hoped that the striker situation would have been resolved by now. It is apparent though that this year, more than most, that a quality striker is hard to come by on the market these days.
They simply aren't for sale unless you grossly overpay. Clubs such as PSG and Real Madrid are the types of clubs that selling teams look to in order to set the market.
And once again, Real Madrid just did so by paying a stupid, and I repeat, STUPID, amount of money for Modric. He's good, but in my opinion, he's not THAT good.
The days of Moggi were days where juve were one of the clubs who could actually have a hand in dictating the market. Nowadays, they are the ones waiting for the scraps that the bigger clubs don't deem as necessary.
