Ah come Dylan, don't leave, we all have to put up with Secco et al, some day they will be gone though. | ||
| Luftwaffles |
€12m is the cash figure. All subject to the medical |
||
| Juvefans |
Lovely waste of money. Really think we should have held onto Nocerino as well, he's only 21 and can only improve. Didn't do great this season but to be fair to the lad he did a lot better than Tiago/Almiron etc. | ||
| Jimmilson |
If you run a business and hire someone, you don't always hire a nice person, you hire the person who can do a good job for you, even if he's a prick. Amauri has pissed us all off by acting like a mercenary, but nobody can dispute that he's a great striker, so let's see how it turns out. He's a different option up front, and I think he'd cause people problems in the Champions' League. He'll have to go some to win us over, but then Cristiano Ronaldo's unbearably egotistical and I don't see Manchester United fans wanting him sold because they dislike his personality | ||
| Dylan |
The problem with Amauri is his pitiful scoring record prior to this season, if you are in the league Amauri is touted to be in you don't wait to be 28 to hit the big time. Please let me be wrong.
Aquilani is next, doubled his earnings with the guaranteed starting place. Now that is one hell of a signing and a long project with Sissoko and Marchisio. Trappattoni' Juve is coming back. How could we sign that Brazilian spunk pot. He looks like a gipsy with all the intellect of Maradona and the charisma of Mancini. What next? Jason Donovan to replace Mick Jagger as the Stones' front man? |
||
| OriginalJuveboy |
But dylan, Toni has only began to peak between 28-30 and hes become one of the best strikers in europe. Some have it, some have to work at it. And when amauri first started at palermo he was ripping every team a new one, so he has potential.
For me its his mercenary attitude, id rather someone who wants to be here not here by default just cos the team he really wanted didnt put in an offer/qualify for the CL Well we will see, we all bitched about sissoko and hes turned out to be rather good, so lets give him a season and then we can moan about him in earnest. 
|
||
| Drughi |
Agree bro...Amauri is waste of money. Where he will play? If capitano is tired and injured Seba will play, if Trezeguet is out Iaquinta is first choice...I cant undestand people throwing money for guy that is solid but not world class. Del Piero and Trezeguet are world class, Drogba is world class, Torres is world class, even f**king Klose is world class...Amauri, no, just solid player for lower clubs.
About Aquilani, he is great player, still I dont think we can get him, not before we gave them Iaquinta...and I dont like to see Iaquinta leaving...he was instrumental this season. Let's stay calm aobut Sissoko performances in Italy...refs will catch him like they caught Ince decade ago in Inter...you simply cant beat people in such naive way...only Davids could... Marchisio could be key player already this season. I doubt in our team, we cant expect capitano to play like this season...so best possible finish for us is 4th place...and I also doubt in it if we cant get some good coach. Of course if we buy VdV and Zapata things will change, with likes of Amauri and likes of Palombo and Campagnaro we will be laughing stock next season... Dont go bro...it is great to exchange some words about club... |

Anyone for Wayne Bridge?
Bridge will join the England squad next week and will pick the brains of head coach Fabio Capello, who was coach of Juventus between 2004-06, before he makes a decision to transfer to Juventus. Bridge is not expected to make the bench for tomorrow's Champions League Final against Manchester United and is convinced his future lies elsewhere. |
||
| Dylan |
Luft mate Vargas is due to sign for Fiorentina today....
Fratello I think Pierino will olay a blinder in Euro C. and next season. We will let go of Iaquinta like Palladino he wants to play and Vincenzo is part of the group of players, it is said, who don't think much of Ranieri. That includes Alex and David. You are right I won't let that wanker drive me away and I love Juventus too much. But did they not learn anything from Tiago and Almiron? Though Tiago is showing signs of class of late. We could have signed Cavenaghi, 26, for 6m. We could have got Gilardino for 14m. Even my Great Dane is better at transfer dealing. Ehi, Amauri still has to pass the medical, he might have Syphilis or Gonorrhoea. Both hopefully... |

Drughi
Re the Champions League predictions Although you predicted that the match would be a 0-0 draw after extra time, you forgot to predict who would win the Champions League. |
||
| Luftwaffles |
The undue delay in official news may well suggest a problem much worse than a below stairs infection. |
||
| Jimmilson |
Please not Wayne Bridge! If he wants to wear black and white I'm sure Newcastle United would welcome him. He's not of sufficient quality for Juve.
In fact, if Ranieri really is after him I think it proves he's not the right man to take us to the very top of the game again |
||
| Liam |
Amauri is an unnecessary signing. We have Del Piero, Trezeguet, Iaquinta, Palladino and Giovinco. Why is Amauri needed, even if as I expect Palladino leaves?
Wayne Bridge is a decent player, but we could probably do better. Left back is a problem area though as I have lingering doubts over Molinaro, who I would keep as back-up. I'd rather not see Mellberg at right back as well. He'll be back-up at centre back, but I'd obviously select him ahead of Zebina at right back if necessary. I'd select Secco at right back instead of Zebina though. A long-term replacement for Nedved is a must as well. I've been saying it for years, but this will be his last season so now is the right time. I think that man could be Giovinco, who would be perfect because he'd cost nothing. Could be an exciting summer, or a very frustrating one... |
||
| Dylan |
Lanzafame is refusing Palermo, other Italian and English clubs have shown adefinete interest. Juventus will now extend his contract until 2013 with an increase. Gilardino is stalling on Florence move so the Amauri deal may be off yet.
Guys fingers crossed. |
||
| Duncan! |
I think Aquilani will stay in Rome. We would be very stupid to let him go..... I would use some of our money for the transfer market and extend his contract with a big pay raise. Hopefully | ||
| Dylan |
Duncan he will come to Juventus he wants to, you need Iaquinta and you are broke! | ||
| Duncan! |
I don;t want Iaquinta. Plus, how are we going to pay his salary? | ||
| Luftwaffles |
Gazzetta and T/sport both leading with big Xabi headlines.
Understanding between the 2 clubs!!?? |
||
| Dylan |
Luft Blanc made an offer today for Xabi of 15m. Liverpool wants 18m.
Fratello and all the guys not impressed with crater face Amauri, today he is further away from a Juventus deal. Gilardino still stalling on Fiorentina. Duncan Spalletti launched Iaquinta's career at Udinese, his wages are less than what you'd have to fork out to keep Aquilani. |
||
| Drughi |
Xabi is great, could be used in some friendly as team bus driver...am I informed bad or Liverpool is suddenly our friends...
I hope Amauri deal is off but fratello I think we are not lucky enough... Why we dont splash 15 millions for Aquilani, 15 for Zapata and 20 for VdV, appoint Antonio Conte or Gentile, or Ferrara as coach and take lo scudetto. It is really easy. Only moron Secco cant understand... |
||
| Dylan |
Fratello Xabi is just what we need another Almiron.
Any decent human being falling off a motorbike would have died. Not Secco. |
||
| Jimmilson |
I really can't understand why there's no attempt to sign Barzagli if Fiorentina are moving for him. Why all the talk about building a great Italian Juventus side if we're not prepared to go for one of the best, youngish Italian defenders? At £7m he's not gonna break the bank.
You know, Moggi wasn't all bad - corrupt yeah, but he could identify decent players to buy! |
||
| Micky |
Do the Juventus administration have any idea what the hell they are doing?
Xabi Alonso? So basically Ranieri wants a midfield of Sissoko, Alonso, Zanetti and, oh wait, we'd best buy another defensive midfielder. We've bought Olof to go with Stendardo, Wayne Bridge is about as useful as Zebina..........I know let's offer Palermo Alex to get Amauri signed. I'm not suggesting a summer of Buffon, Thuram and Nedved proportions, but let's get at least one top star in for a few bob. Oh, and Lippi back........ |
||
| Duncan! |
Xavi Alonso for 15? At Juve? 
I still think Aquilani will stay. Maybe wishful thinking but I can hope. |
||
| gurjio |
Duncan, while I would love Aquilani at Juve, I cant see it happening. Hes another one of your boys that simply wont leave Roma at this time. If he does it wont be for a few years and then it wont be to an italian club out of respect. | ||
| Dylan |
Gurjio you are wrong on Aquilani is not a De Rossi | ||
| Bobo32 |
What's funny? Xabi Alonso for £15m would be a sturdy acquisition. He's a great player. One of Secco's better transfer dealings... | ||
| Luftwaffles |
What's the ceiling on annual pay for players like Xabi Alonso without breaking the salary structure? | ||
| gurjio |
Dylan, I stand corrected about Aquilani which is good bcos i really want him at Juve.
Altho CDS reports that Alonso will be done. Hes not as bad as Drughi makes out, he is one of the most accomplished passers of a ball ive seen plus hes played with Sissoko before. We still need a left back urgently and forget Barzagli, Drughis right Zapata and Chiellini in the middle will win us trophies. |
||
| Dylan |
Gurjio I really have thing about Aquilani, and the restoration to a great Juventus at the bginnng of the 70's started with a midfield signing from Roma, one Fabio Capello...
All we need ar 3 signings Van Der Vaart, Aguero and Lugano from outside and Gilardino. |
||
| gurjio |
Dylan, if you look at our posts over the last few months, I noticed that we are both reaaally hoping for Aguero and Aquilani I think theyre the 2 of the best talents in years.
I would love VdV also, but if we had the cash my dream midfielder would have been Diego. Amuari coming to us has probably scuppered the chance of Aguero tho |
||
| Macxz |
so says Ranieri... 
what planet is the man on!!! |
||
| Dylan |
Macxz you said it all mate, there is the planet we all live on then ther is planet Ranieri. 
Gurjio I know and from what I read today Amauri will sign. We may face Aguero in the C. League preliminaries. He is a great talent but he is fearless too. |
||
| OriginalJuveboy |
macxz it would be unprofessional to slag off your players publically, bad for morale etc. Only that cretin zamparini does that and you see how that affected his team.
Latest rumour, quagliarella wants juve and may sign with moggis son to help him Now im a lot more happier with quaglia than amauri..cheaper, italian, has potential..(scored some awesome goals) just needs a bit of nurturing and he wants to come to us and doesnt want us cos nobody else does ala amauri. |
||
| Luftwaffles |
Reuters today still connect Amauri with a move to Milan. Potentially great news.
Here's the report on Quagliarella as mentioned above:- Fabio Quagliarella cambia tutto. L'attaccante della Nazionale ha scelto infatti di separarsi con i suoi procuratori "storici", il duo Danilo Caravello-Silvio Pagliari: Quagliarella potrebbe ora legare con Alessandro Moggi per provare a realizzare insieme quello che è il suo sogno lavorativo... La Juventus. Secondo le indiscrezioni raccolte infatti, sarebbe proprio la società bianconera il traguardo che l'attaccante di Castellammare si è prefisssato: già nei mesi scorsi, il club di Cobolli Gigli aveva avviato una trattativa che avrebbe portato, tra gli altri, De Ceglie ad Udine in contropartita. There is hope yet. |
||
| Liam |
I can understand why some on here are so opposed to Alonso, but I think a lot more highly of him than I did of Sissoko, and have been pleasantly surprised by Sissoko.
If Amauri is to arrive, why Quagliarella? I get the impression he wants Juve, but Juve don't want him, not that i'd be opposed to his signing by the way. Macxz, Ranieri didn't say that did he? If he did he is right on Zanetti though, despite his injury hit second half of the season. |
||
| Dylan |
Juveboy if Amauri goes to Milan we The Gilardino, please, please. please. | ||
| Macxz |
http://www.goal.com/en/Articolo.aspx?ContenutoId=706222
For Ranieri's comments... I agree about Zanetti but the rest?? Im not saying he should publicly criticise players but he doesnt have to go out of his way to praise players, some of whom havent been all that great this season. Molinaro hasnt been great nor Nocerino although I still hope he can turn into a better player. Doesnt look like Milan will take Amauri, they seem more likely to get Drogba or Eto'o which leaves us lumbered with him On an another note our boy Seba gave the Azzurrini 2 goal win over Ivory Coast in the Toulon Tournament. |
||
| Drughi |
I think Ranieri is working for Moratti and Berlusconi...
He managed to destroy Palladino, Nocerino, Criscito and Almiron...I am afraid about Seba, De Ceglie and Marchisio... I think reserve of Trezeguet reserve ( Amauri ) will sign for the weekend... So bro we are already f**ked... |
||
| Dylan |
Macxz are you saying AC Milan aren't stupid?
Fratello even Maifredi and Marchesi were better. |
||
| Dylan |
We are back at Maifredi, all we need is a new Roberto Baggio! | ||
| Macxz |
At this rate we're going to be at the level of Mensa FC... somebody give me hope!!! 
|
||
| OriginalJuveboy |
whats this obsession with premiership players?? lampard? bridge? alonso???
We should be raiding s.america and holland and such..esp s.america where the players are better, younger and dirt cheap..if they got piatti, or diego buonanotte id be well happy... sod the epl and their overpaid (and in lampards case) fat, players. Historically permiership players dont do well in serie a, yet they still go out and try to buy them... |
||
| Dylan |
Thank you Original, the voice of reason. | ||
| Duncan! |
Nice goals from Lazafame and Marchisio today for Azzurrini | ||
| Dylan |
Right Duncan, but we need Amauri it makes my blood f.....g boil. Juventus all over parted company with Paolo Rossi because of a knee injury age 17 then paid a fortune to buy him back. | ||
| Dylan |
Ekdal signed, anybody here knows anything about this guy? | ||
| nino |
Ekdal apparently Sweden's "new phenomeno" central midfielder with attacking qualities. If he starts showing any potential we'll have him sent as part exchange for somebody like Comotto
|
||
| Liam |
Riise anyone?
I agree Originaljuveboy, we should stop looking to England for players. Forget Riise and give De Ceglie a chance, or get another up and coming young left back in. |
||
| rossi82 |
Why even pay $1 for Alonso when we have Secco and Zanetti! what a waste.....all these names are mediocre and not Juve quality. Alonso in Juve will be another Tiago...happy watching next year! |
||
| rossi82 |
Looks like it.....really does. Gone are the days when we can land one or two top class players. We seem to only be able to sign players in non competitive situations...so VdV and Diego are out...great |
||
| Dylan |
I am sorry to say you are correct Rossi. | ||
| Micky |
So much for Gilardino being a Juventus man.......
Any news of Amauri yet? Any news of anyone decent signing yet? |
||
| Drughi |
I heard about Riise 
But it is more funny that Secco is trying to sign Essien...he will try hard...
Man, we are joke... |
||
| OriginalJuveboy |
more bloody premiership players....
thats ranieris influence, since he managed here he has a hard on for the league and its players id be much happier if they were fishing around italy i heard that we are stepping up for barzagli.... |
||
| Myles |
Watched the Azzurrini on Friday.
We should keep Lazafame as the 5th choice forward instead of sending him to Palermo for Amauri, instead spend the money on defenders and midfielders, Lazafame is definitely good enough for 5th choice at least. Why are Italian clubs afraid to play young players when they obviously have more talent than a 28 year old. Seba and Lazafame have more talent than Amauri. Nocerino was shit, even though he played for Juve all season he still plays shit when he steps down to the U21 level. The quicker we get rid of Nocerino the better, he'll never be Juve standard, i can't see any potential in him at all. Seba did okay, though was only on the pitch for 15 minutes, would have seen more of him on the ball if it wasn't for the idiot that got sent off for pettiness. |
||
| Mezz |
No wonder he's looking for a move, Palermo and West Ham want him as a significant part of their first team and all he can get at Juve in the eyes of one of their fans is 5th choice? |
||
| Myles |
Well he has to start as 5th choice, whether he goes up on that position depends on him.
Of course if his ambition is to play at teams like Palermo and West Ham instead of fighting to get to the top of the game well then he is not for Juve anyway. |
||
| nino |
I'd rather he got first team experience on loan than sit on the bench for us. He'd have to be extremely impressive to usurp Trez or Del Piero completely next season. He'd be better off being drafted in as to take over when he has enough experience. | ||
| Liam |
I agree. Lanzafame would be better off going on loan at another Serie A club like Marchisio, Giovinco and De Ceglie have, rather than being thrown straight into Serie A football at Juve, and not living up to expectation like Criscito. |
||
| Jimmilson |
Giovinco is looking impressive in the Toulon tournament. I think he could be a star for us next season if the manager has the balls to put his faith in him. Not only has he got amazing technique, but his passing is phenomenal.Surely the only worry anyone can have about him is that he's 4ft 7 | ||
| Liam |
He's more than enough ability to make up for his height. As you say his technique and passing are phenomenal. He's easily ready to play for Juventus. |
||
| rossi82 |
Yang Yun ...oh yeah...who needs Diego now. | ||
| Dylan |
Lanzafame, touted as the new Ronaldo (Casiraghi), doesn't want Palermo and again yesterday Zampacretini went off his head and Blanc is getting fed up with the whole Amauri issue.
Drughi fingers crossed. |
||
| Drughi |
Yang is better than Maradona and Platini...I think he will be our new Baggio 
Lanzafame could be 4th striker as it is better to take him than f**king Amauri that will be steward for 20 millions. About Criscito, Ruinieri ruined him...f**king old coward pointed at him after Totti goals in Rome in order to save own ass... If we think that Criscito isnt Juve material because he made two mistakes, what we would do with Zebina? Shot him in the leg? Fratello mio, did you hear that Secco offered Lotito Seba last summer, not on loan but wanted to sell him...and Nazio rejected it because Seba height...man, that guy is worst thing happened in Juve history... And now he wants to send Marchisio to Lazio... It looks like Cassano will fill capitano boots in 2010... I thought I would never say it, but for me it is better to take pizza face now instead of Amauri... 
If Cassano had brain he really would have become new Del Piero...it looks late now... |
||
| OriginalJuveboy |
it feels like secco learned his trade after reading the back of a cigarette packet
i fear for next season.....:S |
||
| Luftwaffles |
He's now completing the medicals in Centro di medicina dello Sport. At lunch time he'll sign the contract. |
||
| OriginalJuveboy |
if its done its done
he just better deliver the goods and not whine like a little girl if he doesnt get played otherwise the Juve faithful will prob torch his car and brick his house hes already detested so its up to him to prove them wrong.... |
||
| Liam |
I read that Secco wants Burdisso now. Did he not watch Del Piero and Trezeguet embarrass him for 90 minutes in the San Siro? Secco is one dumb shit. | ||
| Luftwaffles |
You can take a horse to the water..but you can't make it drink.
Juve cannot even get the horse to the water. Lanzafame absolutely insists on West Ham United and so Palermo are asking for a further 3 million. So that news and growing rumours that Trez may be leaving. I think even Succo isn't that stupid. |
||
| Dylan |
Fratello that was a new on me, with Secco every day you think you heard them all, then morning comes...
See the petrol pump attendant is back to his Mad Max days. Fired s...e face Mancini. Who is Yang? Cassano will be fine at Juventus he will be 26 |
||
| Dylan |
Luft he comes to Hammers on loan Juve get 6m. | ||
| Dylan |
Ecco gli stadi "di proprietà"

We can take Mancini, he is only coach that is worse than Ruinieri...
About Chinese he will smuggle jerseys from China...bro, I will buy you five euros shirt from him for next season... Mourinho is good coach, but even Lippi failed in Inter...it has nothing with coach, I think they like to lose...it is their philosophy...lose at any cost. |
||
| Luftwaffles |
Seba puts away the winning penalty tonight to take Italia to the Toulon final on Thursday.
He is the future of Juventus. |
||
| Dylan |
Amauri' deal is stalling again, he wants more money.
Xabi Alonso agent arrives in Turin today, the player says he will not decide before Euro 08. |
||
| Luftwaffles |
Dylan, what's the source re Amauri? | ||
| flotron |
More talk of Aquilani please not those other muppets | ||
| Dylan |
Luft La Stampa.it but they are in a meeting for Xabi. Friday, allegedly, they hope to get the muppet to sign. Wait for this Amauri bonus system will be based not only goals scored but assists. So anytime Buffon boots the ball up field, should a goal, eventually, come out of it should he get a bonus too? | ||
| OriginalJuveboy |
barzagli has gone to wolfsburg and gila has signed with the viola
guess we wont be signing either of those 2 then
|
||
| Liam |
I read that Palladino might stay because of the Champions League qualifiers with Nedved and Giovinco missing. Can't see him staying beyond those matches though.
Lanzafame could be a hero before he's even played a first team game if he stops Amauri signing. |
||
| Drughi |
Fratello, it looks like VdV will end in Chelsea...if Zapata ends in Milan our two best hopes are gone...
What is next? Aguero to Mulita? Secco
|
||
| Micky |
Wolfsburg? Are you having a laugh?
If we can't beat someone like that to a terrific players signature we're in serious trouble........ |
||
| Dylan |
Fratello losing VdV is a bad bad knock I was sure they got him January. Yep and Lugano to Pro Patria. And Gilardino do you know what Drughi Rossi is proven right, yet again, we could not get Cicciolina' signature. 
We have become a 3rd band club. At least with Maifrediwe had Baggio, Casiraghi Schillaci Hassler Gurjio will be impressed |
||
| gurjio |
Yeah Dylan im ecstatic, Secco is a nob.
At least last year we had the excuse that we could not offer Champs Lgue football. VdV choosing Chelsea is heartbreaking made all the worse for the fact that I dont think we have a hope of getting Alonso either. No top Centre back. Amauri is not even done yet. Our concrete signings this year so far are Mellberg and Ekdal. Seriously, i know the transfer campaign hasnt begun yet officially but we all know these deals are done well before that. Ranieri and co need to go. Lippi ftw. |
||
| Dylan |
Buffon 'Aquilani is the ideal' the muppets listen to SuperGigi.
Do you know what I would keep Lanzafame and Palladino, Amauri is not going to make the difference so we may as well give the youngsters experience and stop wasting money. Gilardino really pisses me off he accepted a 50% wages cut, the muppets can't say he was too expensive. Even on full wack he would have been 800k cheaper than Amauri. And still only 25. Gurjio we are f....d |
||
| gurjio |
Dylan too true. If I were in charge I would have done a similar thing to last year (but not stupid like Secco):
Bring in youngsters i.e. Mole, Noce, Palla etc and play them. Where there are gaps bring in quality for where its needed in January not half baked transfers. I agree with obtaining freebies. This year: Acknowledge that Mole and Palla= squad players and Nocerino isnt needed bcos of momo and Marchisio. Buy in TOP CB, TOP LB and TOP CM. Bring in Giiovinco, Lanza, Marchisio on top of the team we have and we have youth, experience and champions heavily lead by Italians. Cant go wrong. So even with that plan we could have had a team like this: GK - Buffon LB - Vargas/Dossena/Molinaro CB - Chiellini/Leggro/Zapata/Mellberg/Andrade RB - Zebina/Grygera/Bracco DM - Momo/Marchisio CM - Alonso/Zanetti RM - Camo/Palla LM - Pavel/Giovinco ST - Del Boy/Trez/Giovinco/Palla/Lanzafame Youngsters can be rotated to LM or ST when needed and ooh look theres no Amauri! |
||
| gurjio |
oh forgot Aquilani | ||
| Dylan |
May as well keep Tiago he may do a Legrottaglie. Why chase Bridge when we have De Ceglie. And Paro is as good as Nocerino and Almiron.
Tiago wasn't that bad in the end not the difference maker but do you think Amauri will be any different? Cavenaghi for 6-8m? |
||
| Drughi |
No way that Secco is smart enough to take Cavenaghi...
About De Ceglie, we sold him for three, and now will play seven to have him back... About Mellberg, I dont have clue, Nico L isnt worse, Criscito is better and younger ( we also sold him for three now will have to splash few millions more )... About Paro, bro, he isnt our player anymore... Buffon Zapata, Chiellini, Criscito De Ceglie, Sissoko, Marchisio, Camo Del Piero ( Seba ), VdV ( Palladino) Trezeguet (Lanzafame) It is easy... Buffon Mellberg, Chiellini, Andrade, De Ceglie Camoranesi, Sissoko, Xabi, Nedved ( Seba ) Trezeguet, Amauri is worse team for more money... Secco is Moratti puppet... |
||
| rossi82 |
Excuse moi! how about that Chinese kid...pls man...get your facts right. |
||
| rossi82 |
You know- when you have strikers who between them scored 42 goals in Serie A and two wonder kids who can make the difference if given the chance, and this is not to count Iaquinta who despite not being influencial and not having played much still managed 8 or 9 goals WHY THE FU%K DO UYOU GO OUT AND SPLASH MONEY ON A F$%KING STRIKER!!! WHAT ARE THE EXPECTATIONS OF HIM...SCORE 50 GOALS!!! And what on bloody earth happened to Huntelaar.....and as you said Gilardinio for a basement discount price...but no, we let Fiorntina take Mutu and Gilardino who mark my word will bite us in the ass next year |
||
| JuventinoNYC |
saw some Drughi on tv during the Toulon final today, towards the end of the match and waving a huge Italian flag... Very nice!
It was a shame that SuperSeba was subbed off, but I'm glad he won the best player of the tourney award. Anyone have links to Giovinco chants, or is it too soon to sing songs for him? |
||
| Duncan! |
Watched Toulon last two games-- Giovinco is the sh!t! What a great talent. Juve would be stupid to give him up or not play him.
I thought Nocerino was pretty good as well. You guys are too hard on him |
||
| gurjio |
Duncan, Nocerino was really good start of the season showing grit but able to go forward. He just lost that for a crucial part of the season. Juventus wont wait around for players to develop that consistency unfortunately. Leggro is the exception to that though. | ||
| Drughi |
No Gurjio, cant agree...
When he was played at his natural position he was very good. And after it, Ranieri started to be smart and moved him to right side of midfield trying to make Brasilian from him... As I said, Ranieri destroyed Palladino, Criscito and Nocerino...I am afraid Seba, Marchisio and De Ceglie will face same sort of problems... Seitaridis is new name...he can be toilet cleaner at Olimpico. 
|
||
| OriginalJuveboy |
good news, real may beat us to alonso...we can only hope..... | ||
| Luftwaffles |
Bad news. The boy Lanzafame has spoken of his burning desire to play for the Sicilians. Amauri now a shoe-in.
Meanwhile we are linked with Greek defender Torosidis. Torosidis is indeed a fine talent and this comes from someone who hates Olympiakos (his team), he is one of the most promising Greek players. He can play both full back positions and as a DM,(both hardcore defensive one and CM like Marchisio) he is solid defensively and he can add something up front, he has very good stamina and take a good use of his speed (unlike ineffective Molinaro) I'm not sure if he is 100%Juve material though, Toro is a very good athlete, but in Serie A, thats normal. He is skilled for a Greek player, but same goes for all Serie A players(besides Molinaro) Normally i wouldnt recommend him, but, right now we have much worse players like him and Toro is very young, he can develop into a great player if he gets a proper training experience in Italy, he is certainly much more talented than Molinaro and he already is better than Birindelli, Toro is a workhorse and i like this kind of players, i m not sure if he will adapt with life in Italy, if he does he can definitely adapt to the Italian play, he has speed,stamina, good marking, swift pass and he is calm in extreme conditions, these caracteristics are the standard requirements for Serie A. Do we need him? We have De Ceglie coming back, we have 2 RBs, plenty of DMs, i dont know, but i can tell for sure that he is an upgrade to Molinaro. |

Luft did you see Lanzafame' s face during the interview, he looked like someone's close had just died. He is a Torinese born bred from the same family stock. No offence but Sicily?
The good news is that Juventus have extended Lanzafame's contract until 2013. I am with Drughi on the subject of Ranieri and the players mentioned, he is a very poor coach in that department. |
