    Summer mercato thread 2022-23 season

    Koulibaly is overrated. He hasn´t been the same since Albiol, the leader and organizer of that defence left. Much like Bonucci, he needs someone to keep him in check. Also he has lapses in concentration where his athleticism saved him. But he´s already 30 now and he has slowed down. If we´re...

    Paul Pogba

    Hope he goes to PSG and we go for SMS. The Pogba chapter at Juve is already written, he was a great player for us. But he’s not the same player anymore nor are we the same club with the stability for him to flourish like before. It’s just a terrible match.

    Ángel Di María - AM RLC - PSG

    If the reports are true that it’s only a 1 year deal with an option for 2 I’ll gladly take Di Maria. He might not be in his prime but the guy is cynical, dives, cheats, does anything to win and we need more of those characters in our team. One of the reasons I wanted Suarez a couple of seasons...

    Paulo Dybala

    Absolute BS. Pirlo was one of the main contributors pulling this club out the mud making it a domestic dynasty. Mandzukic one of the main contributors elevating this club to a perennial CL contender. He had half the talent of Dybala but 200x the heart. Same goes for players like Lichtsteiner...

    Paulo Dybala

    The term legend is thrown around way too easy. Dybala’s legacy here is of a player who never fullfilled his potential. Even his biggest fans agree with that. To classify Dybala as a legend is an insult to Del Piero, Buffon, Chiellini, Scirea, Boniperti etc. He’s not in that bracket whatsoever.

    Non-Juve Transfer news (official or rumors)

    This, and I´m quite sure they´ll pay him even more than the official figures through behind the curtain sponsor deals etc. He´d be stupid to reject that kind of money at 23, he can always go to Real later.

    Pavel Nedved

    Are you honestly suggesting the vice-president of Juventus has no say whatsoever in decision-making and putting this squad together? Nedved, Paratici and Agnelli f'ed it up. They wildly wildly mismanaged this club from 9 titles in a row to trophyless within 3 years.

    Pavel Nedved

    He played a big part in creating this mess, he should be pissed. There are absolutely no comparisons to fans. We pay to see this shitshow. He gets paid millions to sit there VIP style to watch this travesty he created.

    Massimiliano Allegri

    Ancelotti wasn´t particularly impressive at Everton and Napoli. I´m pretty sure he would´ve had similar results at Juve with this squad. The players dictate the ceiling of the manager. In Allegri´s case, he hasn´t been impressive but the squad is poorly constructed as well. For that reason...

    Matthijs de Ligt

    De Ligt is a good solid defender, not great. Still only 22 but definetely hasn’t lived up to the massive hype before his arrival. He lacks concentration, as a Juve fan you just never get rid of that sense that he can F up at any given moment. He’s the most expensive transfer and highest...

    [Coppa Italia] Juventus 2-4 VAReli [May 11th, 2022]

    First time in 10 years we end up trophyless. Kinda hurts, not just today´s result, but how we had everything in the palm of our hand and threw it away with Paratici which lead us to this point.

    Massimiliano Allegri

    Bad ref or not, Allegri went defensive way too early today. That cost us the Coppa. Inter were gifting us counters, and we should´ve kept the shape which was working and capitalized on it.

    Moise Kean

    Mandzukic was just a beast man. That hybrid wing role tracking back constantly and still have juice to put away chances when you get in the box is super underrated. Kean today could be an example, he just might have been gassed and lost his composure from all the running on the wing to put...

    Dušan Vlahović

    He´ll be better with a full preseason, Chiesa back and this season´s experience of playing under Juve pressure. To go from beloved in Fiorentina to the scrutiny you receive at Juve isn´t easy for a young kid. I remember Chiesa´s first months here, some people were laughing we chose him over...

    Massimiliano Allegri

    That´s a vague answer, at least come with some suggestions. None of the big names are available, other than Zidane who wants the French NT. Maybe Pochettino if he gets sacked but he´ll crumble under Juve pressure like in Paris. The others are hit and miss, Emery, Gasperini etc. Their ceiling...

    Massimiliano Allegri

    Pep, Klopp or Ancelotti would not win scudetto nor advance from the CL 16s with Rugani, De Sciglio, Danilo or Arthur. Pep´s City reached the CL semis the year before he took over, he was knocked out in the round of 16 his first year. Allegri hasn´t been brilliant by any means this year but...

    Massimiliano Allegri

    We lack players with that dog mentality. We used to have that throughout the team, Tevez, Mandzukic upfront, Vidal, Marchisio in midfield or Lichsteiner/Chiellini in defense. Now we’re stuck with softies in all phases. The quality have regressed, but the mentality too which might be as...

    The NBA Thread

    The Magic team of the late 00s with Dwight, Jameer, Hedo and Rashard was a fun team too. One of the first teams alongside the Suns to put 4 shooters around the center. It's a shame Dwight didn't make the NBA Anniversary 75 list btw.

    Massimiliano Allegri

    I think we need to look at the bigger picture and not just game by game or compare this season to last. We've pretty much secured the CL spot with 4 games to go. We're finally in position to get rid of some heavy deadwood in the summer. We have a coach with a clear philosophy, whether it's...
