As I recall last season the match in Genoa was not all that easy. Juve must be wary and alert.

I checked out the press releases on all today's business. We're paying for Zlatan over five years, the first 4 are for 3 million euros, the last for 4 million. Ultimately we getting 7 million euros for Miccoli over three years, although the press release says the arrangement will count as a >10...

Thuram looked ok against Brazil the other night. I say keep him.

Well, maybe Moggi knows what he's doing. Zebina didn't cost anything. Just don't let him on the pitch. Is Zebina on the the French squad for Euro 2004? Like our other defender?

Why not Vieri? Everyone thinks Bobo would be great at Juve, but I don't know. I have an Italian friend living in Milan who says Bobo is crazy, that his habits are not good for stability and consistent great play. He pulls stunts when he's not happy. That whole business this season when he would...
