Only The Pitch Can Say How Far Juventus Are From Inter - Secco

Juventus sporting director Alessio Secco talked about the club's economic situation and the purchases made during the transfer campaign.

Yesterday, Juventus completed the loan transfer of defender Martin Caceres from Barcelona, and not much later sporting director Alessio Secco announced that the club doesn't plan on bringing in any more players.

They have already signed Fabio Cannavaro from Real Madrid for free, as well as Brazilian midfielders Diego and Felipe Melo from Werder Bremen and Fiorentina, respectively.

Today Secco talked about the good work done by the club over the last period and also about the club's positive economic situation.

"The data that was approved yesterday by the administration council is a reason of pride for us," he said to Rai Sport. "We are going against the tendency of many other clubs.

"We bought excellent players like Diego, Melo, and Cannavaro arrived for free. All players who were bought for the right amount of money."

On the comparison with Italian champions Inter, Secco added: "We have worked well, but only the pitch can say what the distance is between us."

Juventus Have Signed Some Great Players - Amauri

The striker is impressed with the Bianconeri's transfer activities...

Amauri only arrived in Turin last year, but has seen a number of changes in that time both on the bench and in terms of the playing staff.

The 29-year-old has spoken of how happy he is with the team's new signings, and that David Trezeguet has made the right choice in staying with the Bianconeri.

"David has done well not to leave, because we are stronger and we want to start winning again," Amauri told Sky Sport 24.

"We are a good team [and] we have bought some great players," the former Palermo player concluded.

The Brazilian influence at the Old Lady has certainly grown with the signings of Felipe Melo and Diego from Fiorentina and Werder Bremen, respectively, but Ciro Ferrara has also worked on reinforcing the defence.

Fabio Cannavaro has come in on a free transfer in a move not entirely without controversy, while Martin Caceres has arrived on loan to give the team a more balanced look.
