Former Juventus director Luciano Moggi has been brisk in putting the downers on the club's summer transfer campaign.
La Vecchia Signora have already come under the microscope from a number of critics who raised questions on director Giuseppe Marotta's movements.
And Moggi has come up with some of his own.
"Juventus did everything they shouldn't have done to return to being competitive," he wrote in his Tuttomercatoweb.com column.
"People ask me what I would have done... nothing. The directors have acquired players who were reserves in other teams. One example is Leandro Rinaudo. It's the same with Simone Pepe.
"Juve's transfer market resembles that of a provincial team. They don't have the power to attract players like they once did. And they are a club that fails to protect players who often come under the microscope.
"They need quality. It makes no sense to buy a load of players who are useless to the project."
