    [CL] JUVENTUS 0-3 Real Madrid [April 3rd 2018]

    :lol: Sounds like the result of dumping toxic waste near the drinking water supply.

    Juan Cuadrado

    Great to hear that he's getting closer! Hope things stay on track, team needs him badly for the stretch run.

    Paulo Dybala

    Would be shocked if he's not on the WC team. These are friendlies, and probably left off because he was coming off an injury, and the Sampaoli wants him to focus on fitness and form. No sense over-taxing Dybala right now.

    Massimiliano Allegri

    Earlier today I read an exchange by Dominic and Dru, where they reminded themselves it had been 12 years since Calciopoli. Some real lean years in there, it's crazy to think how far the club has come under this management. It's just not hard to tell what the problems are when you watch our...

    Emre Can - CM/DM - Liverpool

    Could be. Did sound from those quotes today or yesterday that he's still pretty undecided. Obviously the comment about the Premier league suggests he wouldn't mind staying (possibly at Liverpool, or in the BPL).

    Paulo Dybala

    :howler: You more of a prescription type of guy? :P Nothing credible has ever been reported on Dybala leaving, bud. Don't get stuck in the echo chamber.

    If you can't remember this morning, it's time to cut back on the green.

    Giorgio Chiellini - Director of Football Strategy

    Faaak, leg 1 without Chiello and Benatia would be pretty damn tough.

    Summer Mercato Thread 2018

    He was a colossus against Barca, and he has been in so many games for us. It makes no sense to get rid of him, given how much help we already need in midfield. And you're right, he has been good in both formations, just very off recently (I don't love the 4-2-3-1, though). He does need more...

    Arturo Vidal

    Hist a little slow on the draw...as usual... :P Agree with Mike, this was the sale that really hurt. Especially because I bought his jersey during the end of season Juvestore sale, right before he was sold. :D Sometimes he can be a bit of an idiot off the field, but on it prime Vidal was...

    Summer Mercato Thread 2018

    Yeah, he's in a shit run of form, and was absolutely disgusting against Spal, but it makes no sense to sell our best midfielder -- which, unless people haven't been watching for the past two years, is very obviously Pjanic. I don't get it. Top clubs don't intentionally subtract their best...

    Summer Mercato Thread 2018

    They don't have an option to buy Pjaca, seems like management is planning on bringing him back. Guess we'll see.

    Serie A 2017/18

    I think Torreira and Pjanic could play together. Torreira does play in that deep role at Samp, but I think you could move both of them around. Different enough players in practice, and both have a high football IQ. He may be fairly short (5'6"), but he's quite strong in the tackle...

    Leonardo Bonucci

    Boner definitely wanted out, it wasn't because Allegri wouldn't have him anymore. https://www.around-j.com/marotta-bonucci-asked-leave/

    He dropped 6 passes, which is obviously not good. Wouldn't surprise me if a couple of those were CJ being slightly off the mark. But Hyde is also a 235 pound power back, and most guys in that range are worse at catching the ball than Carlos. Hence the 59 receptions. But that's obviously...

    Kwadwo Asamoah

    Great game, again. Love me some Asabob, all about the team.

    American NFL Football

    Absolutely, he's a great system fit, and Shanny will move him all over the field. Don't get me wrong, he's a good addition -- just at a potentially elite price point. Looking forward to the details/structure of that contract. I don't mind the deals where we overpay a bit now, and have...

    Douglas Costa

    Crucial player for us, tremendous signing. Great game.

    Gonzalo Higuaín

    Another irrelevant MoM performance. Outstanding form, love that hop in his step, moving so much better than early in the year.

    American NFL Football

    Good player, dynamic, but I have my doubts about McKinnon being a #1 back. Hope he proves me wrong! That money is pretty ridiculous, 7.5M is like 4th highest in the league for a RB. Kind of doubt he'll see most of it. Definitely need another RB addition with a bit more size and power...
