definately someone in italy.

one thing i have learned is never sell your players to italy. they will always rip you off.

nobody in italy would pay 100m for soldado lamela and paulinho

Paratici is the real market magician, Marotta is just the PR face.

Literally every top team in Europe tried to take Paratici from us. Inform yourself.

Still mad how badly AC milan jewed us when they bought aquilani

>>75374728
They made you a favor, you should be glad.
Galliani is a retard. Granted the Dwarf gave him peanuts to buy players with for years.

>>75374750
lel

yeah for some reason milan just stopped spending any money and only bought free players for like 5 years

i dont know why, he took a team that was the best in the world and then made it like finish 10th in serie a because he wouldnt spend

>>75374771
I remember reading that Berlusconi had to pay some massive court settlement (like 400 million euros). Similar to what happened to Monaco's owner a couple years back.

>>75374771
>yeah for some reason milan just stopped spending any money
2011 happened. They lost the Scudetto while having a huge salary cap and had to cut costs. Berlusconi had no more political use for eventual football successes since he was not politically eligible anymore.

There's the famous Ibrahimovic quote that he said to Galliani when he told him they had to sell him, he replied "your situation is really that bad? Maybe I can loan you some money..."
>>75374817
Yeah, that as well, Berlusconi had to pay De Benedetti about €500m

Fact is Berlusconi is a businessman and he didn't see any use for Milan anymore.

>>75374705
What is so good about them? You've got a team with Mandzukic! playing as a winger and no attacking subs to bring on at the end of games. I'd be furious with them desu,

>>75374976
>managing to get 100mln for a dabbing Sissoko

>>75374844
I can't believe that the city of Milan can't find some local rich guys to own it instead of selling out to the chinese. It really lowers the prestige of the club.

>>75374976
>Barzagli for like 300k
>Vidal for around 13m
>Free Pirlo, Pogba, some others that currently escape my memory
>sold Pogba back to the club for 100m
>bought Bonucci for like 12m
>Alex Sandro
>DABala for a reasonable amount of money considering his talent

The mix of Conte who could get 120% out of players just made it work. Even lazy Vucinic performed well

>>75374750
>peanuts
>20m for Merdolacci
>30m for Baka
>26m for Lapadula+Sosa+Gustavo Gomez
And this is just the last couple of seasons

>>75374976
Way to completely disregard your opinions.
>>75375006
Nigger football, especially in Italy, is a business where you WILL lose money.
That's why Juve's management is amazing.
>>75375023
Don't forget Tevez.
>>75375049
That's peanuts. Wasted peanuts if you ask me. They only spent some money this year because they got the first tranche of money from the Chinese. I'll admit last year the spent a bit from their own pockets though but you have to remember they finally kicked most players in the ass, like Boateng, Mexes and Menez, so they didn't have to pay their salaries and could invest some money.

>>75375091
The summer of 2015 they spent 90m (not really peanuts) foto the following players: Bacca, Romagnoli, Luiz Adriano and Bertolacci. Galliani is just a shit sporting director both with and without money. When Milan was making good transfers it was all thanks to Braida first and then Leonardo, but Fester managed to get both kicked out of the club so he could do all the shady deals he liked

>>75375023
Most of that was several years ago. Just saying that this season, they're incredibly thin up front compared to most top teams. I know the reasons, but cmon, you could've picked up some average wingers in winter just for depth. Now one more injury and you're fucked.

>>75375160
Yeah but that year they didn't have to pay huge salaries anymore.

Bacca and Romagnoli weren't bad investments, I would say. If your team is shit you can't expect Bacca to score hundreds of goals on his own or Romagnoli to grow as a player.

The GOAT trio

>>75375173
It all changed when Allegri tried a new module that became our new standard one.
At the beginning of the season Mandzo was on the bench, together with Pjaca.
I think this is what happened.

But I agree, we could use a fucking striker now.
>winger
Uh? Don't need those.

>>75375173
Allegri didn't plan to play with this 4-2-3-1 they use lately, they started using it only in january. The plan was to play mainly 3-5-2 so they bought players for that system, but it wasn't working very well.

>>75375211
The good, old times.
>you now realize those are just another form of Nedved, Paratici and Marotta
>>75375241
Yeah.
We can play this system only because of Manzukic and partially how much Cuadrado has improved his defensive phase.
They are both fantastic, irreplaceable players for us.

>>75375187
Romagnoli was a good investiment (Wanted by Miha) Bacca is just bad, i i know the rest of the team Sint great not he's completely uless in buildup play, cant make a stop, he's just a tap in merchant and this season he started missing easy chances too

>>75375294
>and this season he started missing easy chances too
That's because he doesn't want to play for Milan anymore and expected to be sold last summer.

>>75374653
Italy is corrupt as fuck and Juve is basically run by the mafia, so it takes a lot less skill. Levy is definitely better.

>>75375211
Reminder Moggi did nothing wrong.

>>75375241
You played 4-3-1-2 in the CL final two years ago and always switch. Anyway everyone knows that 3-5-2 is ass without a goal scoring mid (Pogba).

>>75375283
>Manzukic irreplaceable
Well yeah because your only replacements are Sturaro, Lemina, Asamoah and Lichsteiner.

>>75375173
fact is when they made those transfers they planned Mandukic to be Higuain's reserve, Pjaca/Cuadrado to be Dybala's and to play with a stacked midfield and defence
enough depth desu
Allegri then saw that formation didn't work out and tried this unusual formation with Cuadrado and Mandzu on the wing (mind you, this wasn't out of necessity because lack of depth, but a tactical choice) and it worked wonders
having 4 attacking players play all at once (plus Pjanic who is playing well behind his usual position) was not something they predicted, so of course they now lack bench depth

>>75375434
Is Pjaca anywhere close near returning to playing football? Or will he be back in the next season?

>>75375401
what has this Levy guy ever won?

No, genius, because he's a great striker that can and most importantly WILL defend without bitching about it like most "stars".

You saw in the last two games what happens to these supposed stars who don't know the meaning of the word "sacrifice". Spoiler: they lose.

>>75375412
>You played 4-3-1-2 in the CL final two years ago and always switch.
Yes, and that 4-3-1-2 is completely different from the 4-2-3-1 they use lately, it's not even close.

Ironically this system is very similar to Conte's 4-2-4 and we beat Barca with it. Kek.

>>75375463
The Jew league. Being competitive needs either fucktons of investment or a corrupt system that allows you to have lower investment like Juve and Buyern.

Maybe whoever runs Atletico qualifies but they seem too dependent on Simeone.

>>75375401
Levy is still in the early stages of his plan, you can't say he's better than a director who has already built a title-winning team.

>>75375412
Mandukic is a better winger than most team have
covers the whole lenght of the pitch, good crosses, good target for long passes, defends well
he lacks pace and flair, but this is real life, not FM
if you are in a situation where you need to win 1v1, you have Cuadrado on the other side who is a specialist

>>75375455
next season, probably not even at the start (around October is the predicted schedule for a full recovery)

>>75375467
I'm actually very happy Mandzukic can play as a winger. He couldn't score many goals up front and he always was a workhorse who could run from box to box for 90 minutes easily annoying the shit out of everyone on the other team.

>>75375521
>The Jew league
Because he sold a great player for big money to a team that buys great players for big money?

>>75375539
>if you are in a situation where you need to win 1v1, you have Cuadrado on the other side who is a specialist
And don't forget Alex Sandro that can attack like a pure winger while Mandzo stays behind.
>>75375556
I worship Conte, don't get me wrong.

>>75375569
And managed to improve the team after losing two great players. Funny enough the shit he bought for Bale money was a pretty bad move. Looking at the financial side, Spurs should be no way near top 4.

Sure, Spuds don't exactly have a shoestring budget due the crazy EPLel money but at least it's relatively fair.

The real Mafia man and definetly GOAT is Luciano Moggi.

He's a bretty good PR face desu

Reminder that 4-2-3-1 is an infographics meme and Juventus plays a simple 4-4-1-1, there's literally no such thing as 4-2-3-1, because formations are named after defensive lineups. You can't separate Mandžo and Cuadrado from Khedira and Pjanić when they're apart of the same unit.

>>75375903

Maradona was going to be a Juventus player, somehow Moggi made the plane land in Rome or Naples, I don't remember, instead of Turin where he convinced him signing with Napoli instead of Juve

>>75375794
Jokes apart he was truly the goat

>discovered Rossi from the youth teams
>Scirea and Gentile from Serie B
>Zola from Serie C1(!)

>>75376012
I'm pretty sure I've read somewhere that he wanted to buy Ronaldo from Sporting.

>>75375384
He refused West Ham because he tought he was too good for them but that's really his level

>>75375794
>>75375903
Don't forget how he forced Nedved to sign for Juve by spreading false information on the newspapers and made Inter buy Taribo West by faking an interest in the player while being spied on by them.

Modern managers don't hold a candle to him.

The Juve being thing up front aspect is not Juves fault....

Pjaca got hurt twice this year with the second time being a season ending injury...

Zaza wanted to start and would not be happy being a sub.

Max is so stubborn that he wont call up Kean for games against bottom table teams.

You would think that if your team is relying on 3 strikers who all need to start in big games, it would be logical to have a 16 year old kean ride the pine since his age will force him to be content with just being there and let him show what he can do for 15-20 minute spells...

Italian football is so stubborn... they hardly use subs or youth...

Conte uses subs in the 60th minutes at Chelsea which he hardly ever did while at Juve...

>>75376041
And Messi as well in 2005/6 when we had the friendly game with Barca.

They never bought Aquilani and you killed your own fans.

>>75375160
Galliani and Berlusconi are the only reason Milan had any success you ignorant swine.

>>75375467
>sacrifice
Don't overplay your grinta juve-dude. Talent is essential in CL finals because everyone will sacrifice. You blew countless counter-attacks because piggy and Dybala aren't that quick and Quadrado was the only real danger. Last season Bayern brought on Costa and Koeman to knock you out while currently, you have no attacking sub.

I get the reasons, but the fact is that Juve is over-performing this season given their squad. I still hope you win though.

>>75375091
>Nigger football, especially in Italy, is a business where you WILL lose money.
What's that got to do with anything. Milan is a rich city, they should own the damn club. It's just stupid to have some nameless China-corp running things. I'd rather finish 5th with Milanese owners.

>>75376650
>but the fact is that Juve is over-performing this season given their squad
Top kek, you guys still don't get it. It's since 2011 that Juve has been overperforming for you guys.

Juve is full of talent and it's definitely the best team in CL. Higuain did a great obscure job. The time will come for him to shine, don't worry.
>>75376750
>What's that got to do with anything
No businessman that has enough money to buy it is stupid enough to do it. Moratti was the last one, his family bought him a toy to keep him busy.


Please refrain yourself from commenting about football ever again, it's clear it's not for you.
