I didn't really see the match as our internet's slow on Sunday evenings, but I tried to follow it as best I could and judging on what I saw of the second half we probably should have won.

I'd agree with Myles that Tiago offers more then Nocerino.  I don't think Ranieri sees it that way though...

Milan next week is huge.  Win and our season is more or less over as a Champions League spot is almost certainly secured.  Lose though and those old doubts will creep back in.

nino, there are other positions that need strengthening ahead of the attack.

Even though Juve lost on the weekend we are playing much better in the last couple of games.

But i see we struggle to create clearcut chances and finish the ones we do get

Against smaller teams we overrun them all over the pitch but they defend deep and it is very difficult for this team to score.

Del Piero is having a magnificent season and is going to save Ranieri unfortunately.

On a side note Sissoko is much better than i expected after i saw him for the first time, he was running round like a madman. If he learns to pass better he could be a very important player.

we should not have lost to palermo, we destroyed them in the 2nd half. Ranieri has got the club as far as he is able to, he's just not consistent enough. How we can outclass Inter at the San Siro one week and then crumble in Sciliy the next I do not know.

Sissoko was playing like man on a mission. Del piero was outstanding again, best No. 10 in Italy easily.

Myles I think you're being a bit harsh on Nocerino, he's a raw talent and can only improve and many times this season he's been only one of few players who seemed to actually give a damn. I don't think he deserves to start every game though.

i think Molinaro is a much bigger liability than Nocerino personally.

Has no clue.

Nocerino has been a disappointment, no question.

It was a costly (in terms of points lost) experiment that needs to be ended. We need 5 players in the starting X1 next season that are currently not at the club yet.

They are Mellberg, De Ceglie, Nasri, Giovinco and a  central midfield player - 10 -15 yards ahead of Sissoko - who is world class.

At this stage of the season a point against Milan will seem like a mini-triumph.

Giovinco will be playing for Juventus next season according to his agent.

We'll beat AC Milan.

The Russians, in the shape Severstal, are interested in investing  money in Juventus.

Fratello we may become Lokomotiv Juventus

For f**k sake, are you Gobbi ever happy?

I'm thinking of renaming this thread 'The Bad Things That Make Us Upset Annex'...

I too, as I highlighted earlier in the season have huge doubts over Molinaro.  I don't think he's up to it myself, as much as I want to like him.

Great news about Russians   ...they could put Zavarov as coach  

Mezz my friend, I already explained it, terms of success are not same for Juve and other clubs.

It is not about first place this season it is about rejecting our players and throwing 50 millions for nothing.

You got Kuzmanovic for one euro and we spent fortune on Tiago...

Still you have Prandelli and Corvino and we are great with Ranieri and Secco  

Bro, we will beat Milan and then lose to Pergocrema or Novara...

We won so many titles beating lesser clubs...now decided to spit on history and become sympatic  

Man, man, man...I think I would welcome Russians  

And yes, I LIKE MOLINARO...even he is Napoletano  

He will be better next season  

Today CDS announced top secret mercato plan for Juve  

We got Ekdal and Mellberg, chasing Lampard or Flamini, Pasqual or Grosso, Zapata or Pique...and yes Amauri is already our player  

Players that will leave : both reserve keepers, Marchionni, Birindelli, Stendardo and Tiago.

Players that are 50 - 50 to leave : Andrade, Molinaro, Zebina, Nedved, Nocerino, Palladino

Marchisio, De Ceglie and Seba will return

So if it is true, our team could be :

Buffon
Mellberg, Chiellini, Zapata, Pasqual ( De Ceglie )
Sissoko, Flamini (Marchisio), Camoranesi, Seba
Amauri (capitano), Trezeguet

Maybe Lippi could be champions with them, Ranieri no...

We will be second or third next season...another year in shadow.

from C4
"A month ago, there were claims that Secco had proposed a part exchange of £12m plus Sebastian Giovinco, Paolo De Ceglie and Claudio Marchisio.

But with Giovinco excelling at Empoli and De Ceglie impressing in a Siena shirt, such an offer seems reckless and highly unlikely.

It has been suggested that Coach Claudio Ranieri vetoed the original proposal, but that he is happier with the new terms."

Ranieri managed to say no??

I can't believe what i am reading

Have I just read that, should we fail to get Amauri, then Crespo is the next option? Are they winding me up?

I think Ranieri has lost the respect or is losing the respect of the players judging by Camoranesi outburst on La Stampa of today.

What did Camo say Dylan?

He said that Tiago should be playing regularly because Camoranesi believes he makes rhe difference. He said Tiago can direct the game from the entre of midfield with Camo on the right. So, according to the parer, think other players. And so think some in the management at the club.

If Secco ever dreamt up that proposal he should lose his job immediately for gross incompetence.

apparently Marchionni doesnt want to go, and Secco is renewing his efforts to get rid of our 3 best youngsters once more!
