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.

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?

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

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.

Forza Juve!!!

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.

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.

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!

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!

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...

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

I reckon De Ceglie would be a decent Molinaro replacement

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.

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

The possibilty of getting Aquilani is encouraging.

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

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

Camoranesi-----------------Aquilani------------
---------------------------- Del Piero/Giovinco--
---------Amauri-------------------------------------
-------------------------Trezeguet-----------------

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