    Gianluigi Buffon

    We are selling him because his body is finished? Who would be foolish enough to sign him under these circumstances? The only motivation we have for selling him is financial, and given the fact these rumours surrounding his health will impact his value, the only real financial benefit we...

    Gianluigi Buffon

    If they were trying to hide a serious injury, they would have chosen something benign that lasts longer than the flu.

    [Serie A] Roma - Juventus (03/04/2011)

    A win and a clean sheet. You can't ask for more considering the circumstances (missing 3 crucial players, and a departure from the 442 as we had previously used it). Speaking of the formation, hopefully the slight adaptation of our formation today is a wake up call to DN and his usual rigid...

    Unfortunately, it will be another great opportunity we will pass on, despite being cheaper and probably on lower wages than Aquilani.

    Claudio Marchisio

    Depends on the replacement we have lined up, but he is certainly not untouchable. Still, I can't help but think he would fit in well elsehwhere, especially at a team like Man Utd who know how to pass a football and create more than 1 shot on goal a game.

    No. If they really want a stadium, there will not be any wild spending. Not that their ownership is capable of City/Chelsea like spending to begin with, as none of their 4-5 investors are known for having a high net worth. I'm sure they will sign some players at 1st, but I don't see them...

    Official - A.S. Roma sold!

    Their new ownership will bring financial stability and ensure they don't have to sell their best players to survive. From that perspective, yes, Roma should be more competitive, but they will not be like City or Chelsea, splashing huge amounts on players. The ownership structure is entirely...

    The losses may be low compared to standards set by other big clubs, but that doesn't make them any less important. By Juventus' standards, they are significant. In fact, that is the very term our financial reports use to describe our losses. We don't have a Russian oligarch or Arab royal to...

    2 seasons without CL, 2 seasons that will finish with a financial loss, and 49.5m in options (Aquilani, Quag, Matri, Pepe). Considering the preaching of our management over responsible spending, I can't help but be pessimistic every time the media claims we are going to break the bank...

    Gianluigi Buffon

    Agreed. This seems to apply to all of our players, which really shows hows shitty things are at the club right now. As illustrated in the recent intrerview with Trez, the influence of players like Buffon cannot be solely measured on how many saves they make.

    Giorgio Chiellini - Director of Football Strategy

    I think he will be sold if the right offer arrives. He would command more than 30m, and I don't see our management having the balls to decline. Elkann is losing money at Juventus over the past 2 seasons, and short of injecting his own cash into the club (not going to happen), selling players is...

    I really hope were in for a surprise this summer, but we have been promised champions every season since serie b and look how things turned out. Another CL-less season could prompt our management to shuffle things up. Any1 who follows North American sports can cite examples of teams purging...

    Calciopoli or Morattopoli.. inter fake orgasm

    Thx, this is what I figured, but since there have been no conflicts of interest with this judge, it amazes me that it is legally permissible for someone to ask for the judge to be replaced. It is clearly a dirty tactic to disrupt the case, and I am shocked the option even exists since it is a...

    Sounds like bullshit. If the chance of signing Aguero, Tevez, etc were remotely feasible (being able to afford transfer + wages), I doubt our management would need encouragement to spend money on good players. Unless these sponsors ink big deals with Juventus, (they haven't), their opinion is...

    Replacing the judge? Any explanation for this, because it sounds very fishy.

    Aquilani (16m), Matri (15.5m), Quag (10.5m), Pepe (7.5m) = 49.5m

    J Stadium/Allianz

    I like the Notts County suggestion. They might not be a super club, but they are a very old club with plenty of tradition and who we can thank for being called the bianconeri. It shouldn't be the opening match, but a mini tournament during pre-season training with them involved would be a good idea.

    Have they started work on the interior of the stadium (flooring, light fixtures, plumbing, dry wall, etc)?

    If we sell Buffon (not going to happen, imo), I see us handing the starting gloves back to Storari. The only reason for selling Buffon is economical (it's the only reason that management could get away with, and even then it would be highly unpopular). His replacement would eat up most if not...

    Libya 2011 Demonstrations

    The B-2, or any aircraft for that matter, do not carry nukes unless it's on a training mission related to nuclear deterrence or if they actually plan on using them. Their main base is in Missouri, and they would not fly +20 hours to attack Libya while carrying weapons they have no intention of...
