Three days until the end of the market and Juventus is still looking for their big striker, of which in late May Beppe Marotta had indicated was the main goal for the Bianconeri this transfer campaign.
Meanwhile, the Italian champions have done a great market, taking everything except the big striker purchases in port (leali and, now, a new third-choice goalkeeper, probably Rubinho), defense (the redemption of Caceres, then Masi and Lucio) and midfield (Asamoah, Isla, Pogba and redemption of Giaccherini). For the attack it was reported the aquisition of Sebastian Giovinco to add to the foundation, but not enough: the primary objectives were quite different.
And it is precisely these objectives that, at this point, is in the case of questioning. Yes, because Juventus from May until today has followed and attempted Higuain, Van Persie, Suarez, Destro, Dzeko, Cavani, Llorente and Jovetic. As you can see, it is a big spectrum of players, for technical features as well as placement and tactics. The last two remainging names are Jovetic and Llorente, but the former is considered to be non-transferable by Fiorentina (even with an offer of 30 million), while for the second Athletic Bilbao demands the payment of the out-clause (36 million , too much for a player out of contract in 2013).
Now we are more or less 72 hours before the end of the transfer market - Juventus are now up against the wall and may have to fall back on a Cardozo or a Borriello type player. At this point, since the funds are available (Juve has so far spent 30 million less than in 2011, and so a similar figure is likely to exist), perhaps it's time to ask whether the leadership of Juve has not made an error on this front - their main objective.
The original concept was one great aquisition at all costs, probably (beyond the opportunities that have come to create the market) they were not too clear on their ideas about which player they wanted that would really serve the team. And because of this has come the current uncertainty, the result that they did not go in early, strong and forcefully, on a single target. And now time is almost up...
