    Julian Draxler - AM LC - Schalke 04

    Were people this impatient in the pre-internet era of transfers? Now folk get irritable if an hour goes by without signs a deal is progressing. Just think what it would have been like when it was all in the newspapers and - at most - you'd have a morning edition and an evening edition. Anyone...

    Summer mercato 2015

    What an excellent non-story. Pretty much every player in the world is available if a 'compelling' offer is made for them.

    [EU] Europa League 2015/2016

    @Enron, pretty encouraging stuff from Ward so far. Little shakey in the first two games, but looking more settled now.

    Mario Mandžukić

    Not particularly related to Mandzukic, but not sure Juve will look to press much. As things develop further to Allegri's preferred way of playing, you are more likely to see Juve choosing to allow the opposition to have the ball, Juve defending against that primarily with the back four and the...

    Daniele Rugani

    That Juve would never have a black captain?

    Mario Götze - AM - Bayern Munich

    Where was this sort of sentiment when things were going against Juve? I don't recall the 'luck' argument being put forward when Juve were suffering significant misfortune in previous CL campaigns and having to deal with teams driving tractors over pitches and the like.

    Mario Götze - AM - Bayern Munich

    Juve didn't drop the cake. There was one cake left and a customer at another table, who was richer and in a stronger position to get the cake, managed to beat Juve to it.

    Mario Götze - AM - Bayern Munich

    There would be a lot of people around here who would be in no position to criticise selling Llorente for 8m, given just how low an opinion many people have of him.

    Mario Götze - AM - Bayern Munich

    Given how long people kept going on about Juve's CL failures (Galatasaray and losing to arguably the best team of the last decade), I don't think it is unreasonable to keep mentioning that Juve did rather well in the CL last season.

    ~£1m. I know. :D If only the English-speaking world had come up with an adequate word for the position I wouldn't have to resort to Italian. - - - Updated - - - Goals from last night:

    We have two trequartisti: McLean and Pawlett. McLean is more of a static passer. Pawlett is faster and more direct.

    Mario Götze - AM - Bayern Munich

    Selling Vidal correctly would have convinced Goetze he wanted to leave Bayern and join Juve?

    Guilherme Siqueira - LB - Atletico Madrid

    He must be - he kept the great Ansaldi out of the team.

    Godfred Donsah - Mid - Cagliari

    I guess I saw him play at some point, but I can't remember what sort of player he is. - - - Updated - - - Nah, this is just on a specific issue - namely that I don't see anyone in Juve's current squad that I'd want to use as Marchisio's backup.

    [EU] Europa League 2015/2016

    Aberdeen 2-2 Rijeka (5-2 on agg.) Job done. Started with the same shape as the first game, but changed early in this one: Ward Logan-Taylor-Quinn-Considine McGinn-Jack-Shinnie-Hayes McLean Goodwillie This was okay when everyone stayed very compact and we dozed through the...
