    Šime Vrsaljko - RB/LB - Sassuolo

    You must have missed his season with QPR?

    Daniele Rugani

    I cannot see Bonucci leaving, as he loves the club deeply. Barzagli and Chiellini are both staying put. Caceres is returning to fitness. I suspect with the signing of Dybala we are more likely to focus more on a back four. Ogbonna will leave, so that opens up a space but still...with Barzagli...

    Summer mercato 2015

    The one thing which stuck out of his ill fated stint in the premiership was his lack of bottle, lack of fight and his fear of tough tackles. It took a few early doors to put the fear in him and I suspect he would receive worse in Italy...

    Šime Vrsaljko - RB/LB - Sassuolo

    Aside from the Caceres if fitter than Asamoah suggestion...I fully agree that we have a far more pressing need for a LB. Caceres can comfortably compete with Lichsteiner or at least fill in at RB. He can also slot in at LB yet we have seen him more often as a RB or CB. The fact of the matter is...

    Gabriel Appelt

    Hard to see much of him at all other than through reports, mate. His progress has been solid. I quite like registas, especially in the old style...He is a lefty, likes to tackle, is confident on the ball and distributes the play intelligently. If he has done well enough perhaps he will get a...

    Andrés Felipe Tello Muñoz*

    He was a regular for Colombia in their ill fated U20 world cup in NZ. They dominated the US, had a penalty saved, yet went down 1-0 in the last 16. Tello appears to have played well enough. Our primavera season has been a shambles under Grosso. And with Della Morte leaving and Grosso...

    Gabriel Appelt

    the arch angel Gabriel enjoyed, for the first time in two years, an injury free campaign at promotion chasing Livorno, who missed out on the playoffs on goal difference or head to head scores with Avellino. He was a mainstay of their midfield. Hardly set the world ablaze yet has proven one of...

    Summer mercato 2015

    Front line seems fine and likely to be stronger. central midfield is along similar lines, yet has the potential transfer movements of pirlo, pogba and vidal making things hazy, yet still I believe it will be stronger come August. central defence is fine and dandy, especially with caceres...

    Mario Mandžukić - ST - Atletico Madrid

    Vidal's recovery from a hectic season, injury and surgery, followed by a WC campaign in which he was the linchpin of the Chile outfit, has been slow yet gradual. He seemed sluggish, then gradually began to find his tackling and covering abilities, then gradually begun to find his offensive...

    Abdul Rahman Baba - FC Augsburg - LB

    I'm lost...are you saying we signed an American?

    Xherdan Shaqiri - Winger - Bayern Munich

    The main point of signing him now if he is available is to give him a chance to bed into the trequartista role in the Juve squad, adjust to Serie A and perhaps equally importantly, stop him signing for another club from where it would be much trickier to prise him free in the future...

    Winter Mercato 2015

    With Rugani not available until the Summer, I would be fine seeing Rolando arrive. If Barzagli continues to remain crocked, Caceres should return to the reckoning in the near future, which leaves Ogbonna, Chiellini, Bonucci, Caceres and Rolando to take care of two CB positions. The Montoya...

    Kingsley Coman

    Perhaps it would be in his best interests to find a loan club (in Italy) in January, as some rumours have suggested will be the case. He needs to play to develop, to adjust to the rhythm of Italian football, become familiar with the speed, the marking, the pitches. With Seba hopefully on his...

    Tomas Pochettino - CM - Boca Juniors

    Could be my garbled Italian, but I thought it was the groin...still, I suspect we won't know more until January. When does the Argie season end and transfer window open, Mark? For now, it is more interesting to see what the coaching staff make of that Bulgarian hotshot, Kraev, who is in Turin...

    Tomas Pochettino - CM - Boca Juniors

    Arriving in January, from what I gather, Mark??? The Boca bigshot crunched the deal down to a loan with 1-2m redemption? Also spoke of Tevez moving home once his juve career ends, and what horrible day that will be!

    Andrej Kramaric - ST - HNK Rijeka

    Leicester were the main interest from the premiership...and bid for him recently. "The offer was submitted and it was not rejected. In next days we will again meet with people from Leicester City and we will talk a little bit more," Juricic (Rijeka DoS) told Novi list. "Our main goal is that...

    Claudio Marchisio

    That's part of my point...Its astonishing to read of people comparing Marchisio to players like Alonso, let alone Pirlo. Even when Pirlo is having an off-day he never stops focusing on his role as fulcrum to the team, making himself always available to the defence and positioning himself on the...

    Claudio Marchisio

    He was piss-poor in the second half. Pogba was far more involved at hustling, trying to win the ball back and actually taking it out from defence at his feet. That is where Marchisio fails miserably. He is not a dribbler, he prefers to look for the pass when in that area. When we are on top, he...

    Alessio Cerci - Right Winger/SS - Torino

    i think it seems more likely by the week...Let's hope that Immobile maintains his fine form of late,as he will surely be used as a make-weight in the Cerci deal.

    Co-owned and Loaned Juve players

    The two siutations were and are in no way connected whatsoever. Bouy has a handful of minutes in a coppa italia match against might Avellino to show for his time with the senior squad...he is nowhere near the first team, which makes sense considering his experience in Italy is slightly more than...
