There's talk of a contract extension for Pavel Nedved.  I'd be interested in other peoples thoughts about that as I no longer see him as an important player.  He's shown he can make a contribution at times, but for next season I'd be looking at replacing him in the starting line-up, possibly with Giovinco.  I'm not sure he'd settle for a place on the bench though.

Yeah Giovinco is the way forward but Pavel wants one more crack at the CL.

plus his experience will be invaluable in guiding whoever plays down the left.

An aging and increasingly grumpier Nedved would not be good for Juve next year.

There fore you should sign him

I disagree Duncan, what hes lost in quality over a season, he still posesses ability over one night Euro games.

His experience in Europe will be invaluable in helping, Giovinco, Molinaro, Nocerino etc to step up.

Duncan I understand, he raped Roma so many times playing for Lazio...

Man, but he is hell of the player and real warrior...it's not his fault you supporting wrong club  

Just kidding  but still you cant judge player like it...

Let's say Mensa FC is shitty club but I still like Materazzi and Mancini and Mihajlovic as you cant deny they are smart people  

Apparently we're looking at Mladen Petric from Dortmund as a possible replacement. I don't know what he is like.

Nino, he is a very high scoring midfielder (at least in that league).  Management see him as a Nedved replacement.

Nice that we go from VdV to this.

Camoranesi renwing for a year is good news, although I didnt realise he was close to the end of this contract.

It has been relatively painless this time round to renew our big player's contracts so hopefully they have been given assurances that good players will arrive in the summer.

Does anyone know what our actual transfer budget is for the summer?

The Nedved contract extension possibility is welcome. Nevertheless, We must invest (in both senses of the word) in new blood. The young Juventus players must be able to see opportunities to play in the first 17 squad next season.

The Giovinco affair will be resolved -once and for all time next month - and I think it is fair to say that the overwhelming majority of Juventus supporters would like to see him wearing the black and white next season. I do too. Let's hope that those who make the decisions see it the same way.

Tantalisingly, we are still some twelve points away from securing a CL slot. This will still be an inhibitor to attracting the quality player(s) who measure their ambitions by playing in Europe-wide football. A convincing win against Parma is now a 'must do' to keep momentum moving.   Come mid-April the first signs of reaching a deal with agents and players will probably appear as plans for strengthening the playing staff for 2008/2009 take account of the 50+ matches we will play next season.

Btw, any progress on Sucko moving to Genoa?

Pavel Nedved should be allowed to play until he decides he wants to retire.  IF Pavel wants a contract for 5 years, we should give it to him.

And I'd love to see Pavel get to a CL final next season...  I know I'm getting ahead of myself, but since our CL defeat to Milan in Manchester I can't help but be impatient to watch Nedved break some legs for that trophy.

Once Pavel retires, I can't help but imagine he'd be a fantastic coach.  Normally I don't like foreign coaches, but he'd be a great except for Juve (much like DD).

...anyone else surprised that Pavel's nose was bleeding red blood?  I could have sworn his blood is black'n'white.

Yeah, but he is winding down and will the younger players get a game because I don;t think he would quitely sit on the bench.

And yeah, he did give Roma a hell of a time

Giovinco will be back to play.

I am positive we will get Vand Der Vaart.

Is there any way we could get grosso for cheap?  I'd like to see him in black'n'white, and I hear he's wasting his time at Lyon.

I hear Grosso is crap. One decent world cup and that was it

Seba and Marchisio must play...also some decent coach would finally find place for Palladino...

No Grosso please...why we dont try with De Ceglie...it looks like moron opted Modesto as left back...

Bro, hope to see VdV in precious shirt...but still do you see Secco making it?

Today reports of scambio Mancini - Iaquinta showed in papers. Dont like it, Iaquinta would stay instead of trying to get Amauri or similar low club player.

Hope we agree that David is still first choice?

Or we have to insist for Gila gol  

I would also welcome Flamini...it seems he is good player. But knowing ability of our ds we will get Gilberto Silva  

Someone remebering Cleberson?  

It looks like Brasil won WC 2002 with eight players...

Here is my XI

Buffon
Grygera, Chiellini, Nico L., De Ceglie
Camoranesi, Marchisio, Nocerino, VdV
Seba ( capitano), Trezeguet

with Palladino, Iaquinta, Marco Marchionni etc.

Lippi  would make 10 points advantage over Milan next season with this team...or some other coach like DD or Gentile.

Next season with Ranieri and Secco transfer ability we will be solid 4th and Montezemolo and Gigli will claim it is good result...

Still cant understand why f**king amateurs got chance to be in such big club...

3zeguet is untouchable!

Iaquinta must stay and no Brazilian.

De Ceglie, Giovincio, Marchisio and Lanzafame will be back for next season. Some foreign clubs are after Giovinco and Marchisio already. I think Juventus have learned a few lessons from Farsopoli, one of them 'breed' youngsters and keep them. They have signed another Swedish baby sensation.

Fratello today I see that Nedved will stay another year at least.

Palladino wil come good, Platini did not 'explode' until 27.

And all we neeed with the Dutchman are Lugano and Aguero

Worrying speculation is Marchisio to Parma (on loan) and scambio re Cigarini.

As I see it 3zeguet is still number one striker and Giovinco an absolute must to return to us in the Summer.

The 1st Xi should look like this:-

.............................. Buffon..........................
..Grygera..Mellberg..Andrade..Chiellini..
..Camoranesi..Marchisio..Cigarini...............
.....................................Nedved/V.d.V........
............Giovinco.................Trezeguet.........

no one sees a Criscito come-back?

I'm not quite sure where Criscito would fit in.  Legrottaglie and Chiellini will still be around, Mellberg's already signed and Andrade should be available.  Another centre-back might well be a target as well with Diego Lugano being mentioned.  Criscito will most likely be seen as being at the back of that queue and will end up out on loan again.  Might be for the best though.
