It's nearly as quiet on here as the old foro!

Apparently Joaquin is available from Valencia, we should be breaking our backs to splash the cash on him - a long term quality replacement for Pavel, not Amauri, we have better strikers at the club.

We need a left winger, left back if Chiellini is going to play in the middle and an attacking midfielder. I'd probably say we need another defender too for when O-laugh becomes a flop.
gurjio

Yeh Mellberg isnt gonna do a great deal imo.

Gigli is talking about 3 "champions" (Amauri, Grosso and Alonso) but we need more if we're challenging on 3 fronts next season.
OriginalJuveboy

secco will be back eh? most people are hoping he stays long term sick...i see all these names and while i dont doubt they are good players, we need great players.
gurjio

Note how Ranieri has already sent out a warning that we need strength in depth.  I hope he does kick up a fuss all summer altho that could mean he goes the way Deschamps.
Jimmilson

Yeah, I think Amauri will be a good signing, but until I see that we've spent wisely in all departments, I'll retain the uneasy feeling that this administration isn't composed of football people.
Liam

Micky, Joaquin would be excellent.  Can't see Secco having that kind of vision though.

Good to see you back as well.
Micky

Apparently Amauri is now saying he may not want to leave Palermo. This guy seems more trouble than he is worth, I've said before I don't want him and need to strengthen in other areas first. I certainly don't want us to use Giovinco as a makeweight.

You don't um and ah when someone offers you a place at Juve, sod him, leave him to that Milan shambles - apparently Kaka is the new transfer chief........

Hiya all's going well thanks, yourself?

Not able to get on here as much as I'd like, seems a damn sight better than the old forum tho.

Hope everyone else is well, is there much bickering going on anymore (a la the old MLV/Ronaldo beef?)

Having been doing much of note lately, other than going to Juve games that aren't actually on.

Not much bickering here really, we're all 'bickered-out' after calciopoli.

Erm no.

Agree on Amauri as well.  There are more important areas that need strengthening than an attack which has scored almost 40 goals this season.  In fact its over 40 if you count Iaquinta.  Any investment in a striker should be in a young one.

At least you're making the effort, I've not been for a couple of years now after a stint of regularity. How has it been getting tickets for the Olimpico?
Micky

Nevermind, Liam.

I've got a couple of mates one a Derby fan, the other Leicester, with my Nottingham ties it's been a nice season for me for a change

Got them off the listicket site for the Parma game, took 2 hours, website kept stop working, timing out, blank pages etc and generally not wanting to do business. Took a month to get the refund, which was okay considering i'm not resident in Turin, so fair enough.

Catania game on Sunday, well...they went on sale 3pm Irish time yesterday, checked at 5pm and there was no link. There was a link today but couldn't buy them online, rang the call centre and they were sold out. I don't really understand why some games aren't sold online, if hooligans want them all they have to do is get them in a shop that is a lottomatica agent or ring the call centre.

Last season it was alot easier in my experience, then it was Serie B.
flotron

I got tickets the day before the Fiorentina game from a listicket news agent. Had to buy tickets seperately so i wasnt guarenteed to sit next to my friend, but it worked out fine.

Getting in to the stadium takes time even though its a small stadium, i could imagine with all the new security measures it takes a frustratingly long time in other bigger ones.

Palermo want giovinco as part of the Amauri deal.....I really hope Secco has the sense to say no

OriginalJuveboy

talking bout young strikers? what happened to huntelaar? do you reckon we already bagged VdV?
Dylan

Amauri is AC Milan bound, there is no way Juventus will part with Lanzafame, Palladino or Giovinco. Nocerino and money is the limit.

Juventus are now making an offer for Gilardino who AC Milan are prepared to sell to Juventus following the Flamini deal. Apparently Secco did not 'insist' on Flamini as a 'favour' to Galliani and Gilardino in mind. Alberto is 24 and comes from a family of Gobbi and I would have him over anybody else.

I do not want Amauri, I don't like him, never did and never will.
gurjio

And Nocerino to Palermo.

Its still not defo that Amauri is going to Milan if they except him instead of Giovinco.

Good on Secco for sticking with Seba though.
OriginalJuveboy

gila has at least proven himself, he was a 25gl forward two years on the trot in a lesser team, i guess he just didnt fit in with the milan ethic/atmosphere. Maybe he needs a change of scenery..the Thierry Henry case is a reminder....
Jimmilson

Yeah, forget Amauri, he's not right for Juventus - I think he'd suit the Inter squad. His attitude seems made for them.

Listicket is ridiculously bad, it's been getting worse season on season for the past 4 years.

Really hope we can sort out match tickets for Catania. Wish they'd hurry up and finish the Delle Alpi, those extra seats will make things a lot less stressful when you're travelling from the UK/Ireland for a match.
Myles

We'll get tickets, i refuse to think otherwise  
Myles

Amauri gives me the impression that he only gives a shit about money, his comments about being open minded between Milan and ourselves and also the comment that he might stay in Palermo, are obviously just to give him better negotiating power over his wage demands of Juve. That's obviously not a sin, we all try to get as much in our wages as possible, but in the football industry it doesn't go down well with supporters, since sport isn't suppose to cater for hints of a mercenary attitude. Amauri gives me the impression that he might be a bit like Vieri, squeeze as much money out of the sport as possible.

I suspect that Zamparini's comments about Amauri being practically a Juve player are closer to the truth, and that Amauri is just trying to call a bluff until his salary is sorted out. When he's unveiled as a Juve player, he probably say he always wanted to play for Juve, he was only joking about Milan, but that he respects Milan all the same (just incase he needs to go there in the future via a big transfer fee).
Luftwaffles

Re Amauri:-

Today's Corriere dello Sport (and Tuttosport) are now pretty much sure that he will be joing the bianconeri before the end of this month. I pray that it will not involve the sacrifice of Giovinco.

The midfield replacement for Tiago Mendes looks like being either Aquilani or Montolivo. Any thoughts on this?  How much cash will Tiago attract?

The likely retirement decision Pavel Nedved will announce later will necessitate a suitable replacement. Who is the best candidate?

Finally from Tuttosport - if only it was from La Stampa;-

Ujfalusi:il giocatore a giugno diventa un parametro zero,ma quando si pensava che il suo futuro fosse ormai spagnolo ecco che dalla Spagna rimbalza la notizia che il giocatore avrebbe gia' firmato con la Juventus un contratto (anche oneroso sui 3 mil)

Very versatile and might even improve Grygera's play.
Dylan

Luft Tutto and Corr are toilet paper.

Myles spot on Amauri
Drughi

Ciao bro...

Here is latest...Amauri and Juve contact was frosen because merda wants more money and Milan offered him it. But Palermo is keen to take our youth so they dont want to negotiate with rossoneri.

Hope Merda will go for Milan...but in order to step back we will ask Gila on loan as sub for David.

Sagnol could come, also Roma is prepared to exchange Aquilani for Iaquinta...

Marchisio, Seba and De Ceglie will be back.

It is from GDS

So

Buffon
Sagnol, Nico L (Mellberg), Chiellini, De Ceglie
Camoranesi, Sissoko, Aquilani( Marchisio), Nedved(Palladino)
Seba(Ale), Trezeguet (Gila)

It looks like Pavel will continue...
OriginalJuveboy

whats gds drughi?
Dylan

Gazzetta dello Sport.

Fratello I like Gila, the Gilardino are Juventus stock. Alberto is 25, from Biella, Gobbo, incidents free with a lot he wants to prove. He wants to take his chance at Juventus. And it would be lovely to screw Gallicula again as in Davids.

I know Gilardino sometimes makes a glaring miss Anastasi style but like Pietruzzu is technically very good and generous to a fault for team play.
Liam

Rumours that Secco will sell half of Giovinco to Palermo.  I'm still going to chop his head off if he lets Giovinco go.

Liam, I think you had better start sharpening that axe.
OriginalJuveboy

i think seccos grand plan is, let palermo co-own him, so palermo are happy, juve get amauri and giovinco gets 1st team football. Then at the end of the season buy seba back.
gurjio

we are apparently about to lose out to AC again, regarding Amauri which is great news.
OriginalJuveboy

rumourmill says

were might swap lanzafame for full registration of de ceglie from siena

we might get schweinsteiger from bayern as nedveds replacements

a swap deal with barca, trez for eto

and thankfully amauri negotiations are still unresolved

if milan dont get 4th spot then he will defo come to us, i hope silvio is greasing some palms to ensure that milan get that 4th spot.....
gurjio

Silly to sacrifice Lanzafame for DeCeglie theyre both class.  Although DeCeglie will likely be 1st choice left back next season.

I have heard about Barca, apparently theyve asked about 5 players from all the big clubs all with swapsies in mind.  Apparently they only last a season and is designed to cut down on agents inflating the transfer market pricing.  Good idea from a business pov although getting rid of one of the joint capocannionere (sp?) doesnt seem too bright.  Still, Eto is much better than Amauri.

Amauri still isnt a juve player bcos someone at Juve is blocking Giovinco from moving (probably not Secco).  I hope they hold out!
Macxz

Rumour has it that Barca want Berbatov from Spurs and will swap Eto for him.  Given that Milan were apparently interested in Berbatov makes Amauri a better bet for them as they wont pay £30m for Berbatov.  Now its all about persuading Amauri to sign.. and I suppose Champs League football would help. but fingers crossed..

More rumours about Alonso signing for us but chances are he'll go to freshen up Barca but Aquilani has become an Arsenal target as Hleb might follow Flamini except to Inter.

Would like to see Gila here, as he should have been before Milan got him. Im more excited about the younsters and getting more depressed by the day every time they are linked away from us..
gurjio

Mackx spot on, they gave Nocerino and Molinaro a season and while I now believe neither are Juve material, we will get good money from clubs like Napoli, Palermo, Udinese for them.

DeCeglie, Marchisio and esp. Giovinco should be granted the same courtesy.
Dylan

Here it is:

Lanzafame extended contract with Juventus until 2013, he will off to West Ham fon LOAN for one season. Juventus will receive 6m. E. and 1m. will go to the player.

Today Juventus will resolve the deal with Siena to bring back Marchisio and De Ceglie to the club for next season.

In yesterday meeting Cobolli Gigli stated that Giovinco is going NOWHERE but back to Juventus. Apart from the club supporters Ranieri has demanded Giovinco for next season.

Zanpacretini says Juventus ha a preferential option for Amauri because of the young players available as counterpart. However as Juventus will not part with the players the Amauri deal is OFF.
Real Madrid have made an offer for Amauri.
Macxz

ohh... good news then...
My brother in law's a Hammer so I'll have plenty to talk to him about next season if Lanzafame does end up there! Though judging by West Hams crippling injury list we were discussing whether the Hammers training methods were to blame...  wouldnt like to see anything untoward happen to the lad before he gets a chance in a Juve shirt!  

So no Amauri.. is the Gila deal still on then as a possibility?
Dylan

Gila is on because Juventus let go of Flamini.

And fair play to Blanc for standing his ground. He is reported to have sent the Grimaldi brothers packing after their demands for Amauri. Something like 'if he wants C. Ronaldo's wages come and see me when he scores 60 goals  a season'
Macxz

Latest is Barca want to swap Eto for Trez but Trez doesnt want to leave...
and speaking of C. Ronaldo, Real are apparently ready to shell out £100m for him and have been whispering in the ear of his advisors...

Be happy to see Gila arrive.  Now to keep Giovinco and Lanzafame out of Zamparini's mitts..
Dylan

Eto 3zeguet is complete fantasy, Cobolli Gigli interview this afternoon. Lets face the 'big' guys who did Serie B are untouchbles. They are icons in Turin, no matter how they play you just don't go near them.
gurjio

Amauri now 33%????  what a nobbler!

Him and his agent can f**k right off, I hope he does get an Italian passport so he can leech Chelski.

Anyone would think hes Messi/Ronaldo level.

I wasn't in favour of Gila this year as he annoyed me by picking AC in the 1st place.  However if hes willing to get his career back on track for the club he supports then im converted.

Is anyone else noticing that all of Juve's transfer gossip is about strikers?  Erm, nedved replacement?  Defensive cover?  Attacking midfielder?
OriginalJuveboy

in other good news, official..nedved signs on for one more year :D
Liam

Well done to Ranieri for standing his ground over Giovinco.  If Secco's tried to even loan him out he should be sacked..

Milan and Real Madrid are welcome to Amauri.
Myles

Myself and Jimmilson got tickets for the Tribuna Est from a tout, had a great view of Del Piero's silky skills in the first half. The beer flowed the night before, Jimmilson knew the spots. Worse for wear the morning of the game, got through it in the end.

Who gives a shit about Amauri or Gila, why is buying a striker priority? Anyway Van Der Vaart can score goals! Il Capitano and Trezegol are joint top scorers, Iaquinta is a good forward and Palladino will be a forward if Ranieri buys midfielders and stops playing Palla out of position.

Priority should be right-back and center-half, Chiellini can play left-back or we can have 3-4-1-2 with three center-halfs.

We can get left-midfielder and right-midfielder, Camoranesi, Giovinco or Nedved can all play in the center anyway. Options!

We can play 4-4-2 but we should try 3-4-1-2, does Ranieri have the balls! Lippi changed formations mid-way through a game.

Zebina, Nocerino, Tiago, Marchionni and Stendardo are not of Juve standard and should be sold, enough chances were given, time is up.

Also, Belardi should be replaced, he's shit.
Luftwaffles

Blimey Myles,

"Replace Belardi, he's shit" What's eating you - a most uncharacteristic remark. Anyway, don't we have the relaible Schwarzer coming to us?

Tiago's exclusion from the Portuguese 2008 Euro squad won't help us dispose of him. As for Nocerino, I thought that the money we saved on the collapse of the Amauri trsansfer could be part used to pick up Hamsik and scambio our man in the next 14 days.

I'd like to see a quality central defender arrive in Turin before the Euro comp starts.
Jimmilson

We had a good time Myles, Saturday night was good. I love Piazza Vittorio Veneto for a night out. You kept us out so long that it was 4.45am by the time we were back in the hotel. Did you get up to Superga? We went to Verona and Venice yesterday. Glad to be home tho - do you know how tiring it is spending 4 days with Billy?!

Won't be stoppin in the area of Milan we stayed in though, we've never been freaked out as much as we were last night, we were sure we were about to be mugged (serves us right cutting through Garibaldi Station at 1am). Some dodgy guys approached us on Sunday night around Stazione Centrale n ended up invitin us to get a beer with them but we declined because there was not one thing about them that didn't suggest they weren't scum and would inevitably turn nasty n try to rob us!

Glad we got to the match, it would have spoilt the trip somewhat if we hadn't managed it. I might have preferred a win, but then when ur behind for most of the half only for ur capitano to score an equaliser in the 89th minute it almost feels like a win!
Duncan!

I am sick of Amauri and I support Roma!   He wants a passport so bad, but then said he would play of Italia only if Brazil doesn;t pick him.

He can F off!  Mercenary!
Macxz

Quote:
“We will do everything we can to keep Giovinco with us,” said Elkann.
“He is a great player and we need people of that level, because soon there will be the preliminary round. It’s going to be a tough summer and we’ll be fighting on many different fronts.”


Im glad thats sorted!  

But it'll be interesting to see where Amauri ends up if Drogba does go to Milan...
Dylan

I read today that il Fenomeno, Ronaldo, weights 95kg. I am glad that, with all his problems, he has annorexia, finally, under control.

Fratello next season we will wipe the floor with the lot!
Drughi

Bro I dont give f**k for Etoo...David is juventino and would stay.

Hope we wont sign Amauri...still believe wise move will be Gila on loan as cover for attack.

I read Elkann interview, obviously we gave no money but still good new is that we will be forced to give chance to our blood. And Seba is already class...

I wouldnt trade Iaquinta for Mancini...we dont need to be involved in any business with Roma...maybe we could swap Zebina for Aquilani  

Hope Palladino will get chance...it is pity Ranieri is stupid and cant see Palladino can be Del Piero alternative...

We need only Zapata and van der Vaart...and our youth, everything else is just throwing money...

Does Billy know you said that!
I don't know how you managed to do all that travelling, i wouldn't have been able for that at all.

When i got robbed in Turin beside the Porta Nuova, those lads pretended to be our friends aswel, but i probably told you that when we were drunk. The stations are always dodgy i suppose.

Fair play to you's lads for getting the tickets, Billy's good at the auld Italiano. Me and my stupid hangover, i never know when to stop! I suppose the game was meaningless so i didn't mind the result, just so long as capitano ends top scorer.

Superga?...yes but mostly no, we got a bit lost, that's when i texted you. So by the time we got up to the top we had 4 minutes   before we had to go back down, to go catch the coach to Malpensa. So on Monday, we ended up being on 6 trams, 1 bus, 1 coach and a plane! Wrecked by the time we got back to Dublin.

I don't know what time i made it back to the hotel on Saturday night, ended up having a few beers with the night porter, then it got bright outside and then i remembered why i was there in the first place. I was still drunk when i went to get the tram to the stadium, once we had the pizza in that Viking bar i was okay-ish.
nino

Gosh there's been a lot of speculation while I've been away. I'm disliking Amauri more everyday and am glad that deal is almost off. He couldn't disguise his mercenary ambitions if he tried.

Those Eto'o Trez rumours I wouldn't have given a second of belief to that.

Glad to see Giovinco secured. And Nedved, it's obvious he'd wanted to give the Champions League another shot.
rossi82

If you ask me, we have great strikers as it is. Alex and Trez are also CL material. Not sure Amaurio is. I would not mind Giila and I think that in a team like Juve he will find his form and eclipse Amauri. Also, no one seems to be forgetting we have Seba so where will that Amauri fit, Why waste all the moeny on him!! we need four players- a decent goal keeper, a decent defender (we have them if Melberg is on board), Diego or VdV and someone to replace Malinaro. We have the rest either loaned out of already in the team.

We will be playing on three fronts next week so everyone will play.
Jimmilson

I think Billy knows his loudness and enthusiasm tires people out - and I had 4 days with the bugger! He's a proper linguist, yet you have to watch his Italian because he gets muddled up from time to time (I understand a bit but get lazy when Billy is there and wants to use it as much as possible)! But he's a good lad and I don't think he has a nasty bone in his body.

I thought the old friend trick was pretty common, I've not doubted they'd have robbed us if we'd not made our excuses and left. Basically, never trust a friendly stranger in a dodgy area. First time in Milan that I haven't felt safe - if my heart had beaten any faster while we walked past the hobos etc in Garibaldi station I'd have probably had a heart attack. The travelling was alright but I've a few big blisters on my feet - ruined my tennis tonight!

You did seem pretty merry by the time we left the Piazza to be fair. The touts were alright, I never doubted they were genuine

On the whole transfer front, I hate to say it, as I think Ranieri is a very good manager and a top bloke, but I can't help thinking the best signing Juve could make would be to bring back Lippi if we want to win the league and get to the later stages of the CL. I think he'd probably need half as many players to make it happen, so it would save us a bit money too!
Juvefans

I reckon De Ceglie would be a decent Molinaro replacement
Dylan

Ciao Fratello, Palladino wants more space so there is adeal in the offing Hygo Campagnaro, 28, Argentinian central defender + 2m. and co-ownership of Palladino with Juventus having the right to get Raffaele back from Sampdoria at a fixed price next season.

It seems Iaquinta will be off to Roma. Spalletti was the man who launched Iaquinta's career and we get Aquilani in return. I don't mind Aquilani he said more tha once he wants Juventus. To say that in Rome one must be really determined. I like him as a player.
Camo, Aquilani, Sissoko and Van Der Vaart. Bring them on.
gurjio

Dylan that midfield makes me want to do a sex wee  

I have heard about our interest in Campagnaro but dont know what he is like as a player.  Bearing in mind we have Chiellini, Leggro, Andrade and Mellberg, I still think one top class CB like Zapata would be enough.  

My ideal 11 would be:

                      Buffon
Grygera   Chiellini  Zapata  De Ceglie

Camo        Sissoko  Aquilani   VdV/Pavel

              Del Piero              Trez

As we will be playing on 3 fronts next season there should be plenty of playing time for Mellberg, Andrade, Marchisio, Giovinco and Iaquinta/Palla
Luftwaffles

The possibilty of getting Aquilani is encouraging.

-------------------------Buffon---------------------
Grygera----Mellberg---Chiellini-- De Ceglie--

--------------- Sissoko----------------------------

Camoranesi-----------------Aquilani------------

flotron

Aquilani is a great player, but i can't see him leaving Roma tbh, he's Roma born & bred.
Macxz

Reggina's Edgar Barreto is now being linked to Juve instead of Aquilani apparently...
While Giovinco has said he's not happy about the prospect of being loaned out again... hope he doesnt start feeling undervalued by the club if he is...
gurjio

Looks like Amauri will be Bianconero by today.  10m plus Nocerino on loan and the FULL ownership of either Lanzafame or Marchisio



I hate this clown already.

Still gross incompetence if Secco sends Giovinco to Palermo, a player of his class should be in a Juve shirt and is a season lost without him if he is sent to Palermo.

Both Trez and Alex on the scoresheet  
www.calcioitalia.co.uk

Half-Time: Sampdoria 2-2 Juventus - lovely gesture from Del Piero, Cassano takes worst penalty ever!
Juvefans

ADP has just scored goal number 21
Liam

Del Piero gets 21 goals, the same as in the 97-98 season when he was undoubtedly the finest player on the planet.  Brilliant achievement from him, especially considering he didn't start the season that well.

41 goals for Del Piero and Trezeguet over the season proves their quality though, and shows there are far more important transfer objectives than a striker who doesn't really care where he ends up.

Zebina though again showed what a liability he is.  2 of Sampdoria's 3 goals happened because he'd gone charging up field, didn't get back and left Cassano one on one with a defender and he subsequently created a goal on both occasions.
Luftwaffles

Hopefully this will have been Zebina's last competitive match for the club. He is definitely a liability.

Tomorrow I will take great pleasure from a Torino defeat.
Juvefans

anyone else a bit annoyed that Ranieri didn't give Birindelli any playing time whatsoever?

I felt for Birindelli when the camera showed him sitting on the bench looking a bit miserable.  Not the greatest of players, but he's been at Juve for 11 years and has been a good servant.  He deserved atleast one final appearance before leaving.
Myles

Grazie Alex, Grazie Birindelli e Grazie Juve!

I think Birindelli is injured and maybe that's why he didn't play in the last home game against Catania.

Today showed, if we needed reminding, that Zebina is useless!
Sampdoria's 3rd goal also showed us Stendardo is crap!
Micky

Really good of Alex to let Trez take the first pen, was Trez still on the pitch when he took the second though? Hopefully Boriello won't score two tomorrow, it's brilliant to see Alex at the top of the goalscorer charts.
Myles

Yeah Trez wasn't substituted, but Alex is the first penalty taker.

Good to see Trez been given the chance to catch Alex alright, Inter watch and learn!
Myles

Corriere dello Sport

He was. Alex even created the penalty that Trez scored from. Boriello will need to score three to be the top scorer. Even if there is a tie, Alex will match 'Paolo Rossi's record.

All aside, what a season it has been. This team has charachter, heart and a lot of potential. I prefer it, as is, to Fabio Capello's team. Good job Ranieri against all odds. Alex should start with Luca Toni for Italy...if Donadoni does not do so then he is legally blind or some other factors are in play. The guy is out of this world and is the best striker  playingin Italy today especially with 11 goals in 8 games....I may have not said that two or three or even eight years back but now I feel it is justified.

Yeah Capello's team!

Hope Ale's 21 goals doesn't get beaten by Boriello tomorrow. It's a fantastic achievement and he deserves the accolade.

Should Juventus sign Amauri I will never watch another football game for as long as I live.
Myles

Borriello didn't score then.

Alex you're a legend, we love you!

Well done Ale

Looks like Dylan was right about the Sampdoria defender arriving, possibly a straight swap for Zebina.

Possibly another Samp player arriving next week too - Palombo.

Ranieri says that Iaquinta will be staying. Which makes sense as we will need 4 main forwards to cope with 3 competitions.

I must admit I was was expecting Mancini to arrive in exchange for Vincenzo to strengthen the left midfield-attack in expectation of Pavel playing only 50% of matches in new season.

milan didnt make 4th that means amauri is looking at us

kudos to alex. Great achievement which must be recognised by Donadoni. Italy needs him. Great pro to show that hunger and desire for all these years.
Dylan

Zebina won't leave, nobody that might have an interest  in him, can afford his wages. Highest paid defender in Serie A. He has been pretty good of late, I know, I know...but somehow on his day he can be first class. His main issue is concentration. If Molinaro's feet were half as good as Zebina's.
Dylan

Yes Campagnaro and Palombo in exchange for Palladino. Sampdoria also requested Marchisio but Blanc said is not for sale. At that Marrotta asked for half of Marchisio for Cassano on a free in 2010, and Blanc said yes. I guess Brufolino will replace Pierino who, in view of the last few games, will be made a Saint.

3 games 1 deafeat and 2 draws. Is that Moratti's fault too?
Dylan

Drughi what is this I hear now Ranieri to get the chop for Benitez?

Ciao fratello.
flotron

i was questioning Ranieri being so friendly with Cassano at the end of the game on Sat... hope theres nothing to it
Drughi

Bro, I didnt hear, well we dont like Reds...but I also dont think Ranieri can deliver next year...

About Palladino, it is shame coach destroyed him...

Cassano is genius, I admit, but we have no man to handle his state of mind...

I think Amauri will come, he will be 5th choice striker...I think we can even see him in some preseason friendly vs Novara and vs Grosseto... or vs team of African refugees...

If they swap Marchisio for Palombo I will throw bomb to Secco home...

People do you think calciopoli worked...look at last five minutes Catania vs Roma  

Great season...

Steady on.

Fratello on Calciopoli all I can say is that Juventus were guilty and they were justly punish. The injustice has been that others were guilty too but did not pay and got away with it. Even Totti, in fairness said so. That, sometimes, unfortunately is how life works out. And welcome to Italy.

Did Calciopoli work? Does anything connected to the legal system, of any shape or form, work in Italy? Has it ever?
Look at Guariniello look at way Juventus, Pierino in particular, were branded. And everyone and everything else ignored. Conveniently.
OriginalJuveboy

rumourmill, amauri will sign tomorrow
Dylan

We signed Amauri Nocerino and part ownership Lanzafame. I don't know the cash figure.

That's me done.
