ok guys I was on the record about a month ago that he was not a good buy. i said that he would be good for now, for a defensive minded DM, and that once we stop rebuilding we will be out of place (Appiah anyone?). i still contend that only time will tell. i didn't think that we should have given...

said it before will say it again. CR cannot coach this team. maybe he's a good coach, but he is ineffective for this team (sort of like the two-time CL winner - since leaving juve - Ancelloti). Either bad preparation or lack of motivation or who knows? bottom line: we should reevaluate his...

undeniable talent. nose for goals. CAN work hard. character issues are a problem. needs a coach who can manage him and his attitude: not ranieri. verdict on cassano - not until we get a coach who can manage the players better.

Little off topic, but still: You know what bothers me the most about this year? The shit line-up that Inter actually posts. I mean you can't be serious with Julio Cruz as your starting striker. Their whole line-up is great, but not 5 points clear of the second place kind of excellent. When we...

guys wake up! VDV wants out. Hamburg is hardly a top notch place. Our squad in Seria B (which is pretty much unchanged this year), could have beaten them. That's why he wants out. Players like VDV want to play for the best club possible. Juve have an opening, he'd take it. But the obsession...

If Mascherano wants to come, we should make space for him, if it means he gets Gigli's parking spot. Mascherano is someone we can build the team around for the next...I don't know 6 - 8 years! He is worth every penny, as he would be our answer to Pirlo. Any upright mammal can be told to just...

One more thing that escaped that whole post: Trigger and Lampard, you guys raised some excellent arguments. I am not trying to downplay them. And you guys are right, we can't know. I say things as I see them. We all want to see Juve do great!

Fully agree. He is good enough for the stage we are in. And I am under no illusions -- Zizou is not walking through the door (even though, if we get Diego, I would not be surprised if he mirrored ZZ's career, just saying he could playing-style, and impact-wise). I still repeat what I said twice...

Interesting points. Look, I don't say I understand the issue, and certainly the management has done theirs to undermine the transfer policy, but its not all Secco. Secco does not make these players better. The coach does that. Just to clarify though: I am not calling for Ranieri's firing. The...

So, if we did just bag 12 million for Tiago, does that money go towards the VDV/Diego fund?

Think of the ideal-case scenario situation: we have solid, proven defenders, in or just before their prime doing well, and playing in their best form. Let's say healthy Andrade (in form), Chiellini terrorizing poeple on left....and for the sake of argument let's say we didn't lose Milito, and...

I completely agree with Ahmed, and that really was my point from the the other long post above. The real problem here is when we start talking about what the goals for Ranieri were before the season. Let's get real. Regardless of the position in the table (unless you are first by a mile), the...

In all fairness, Sissoko is only 22 and has been compared to Vieira for longer than I care to remember. Yea, I know comparisons like that are crap, but Vieira did not become a force until later in his 20's. What bothers me is Sissoko's price, and Ranieri's obsession with him. The price is...

I am growing frustrated with the state of affairs in Juve. Beginning with the ownership, management, and the coach. Ranieri was exactly what the "new Juventus" wanted. A manager well liked in the community, Italian, one who CAN have success. He was, for all intents and purposes, a safe choice...

Here's my take on Tiago: why did we get him in the first place? Mourinho, who -- besides the Shevchenko, and depending on who you talk to, Ballack fiascos -- is a fantastic judge of talent sold him for a lot less money than he was bought. Scolari, another great judge of talent constantly looks...
