1997-98 - first year I became a Juve fan with what at the time was generally regarded as the best team in the world with Zidane, Deschamps, Davids, Conte, Del Piero, Inzaghi, Ferrara, Peruzzi etc. Also, the first scudetto when Conte was in charge was also pretty special.

The coppa sticker would have looked nicer in the centre.

I wish him luck (except against us!). I am happy for his success at the Euros. Even though he is going to Milan, I totally understand the circumstances and so do most Juventini.

Im not saying that a government has no significance. It just not as big as most think and that is mostly down to politics and everyone's self interest. Big changes in policy are generally hard to put through for that very reason. Take the American tax system as a case in point (as what...

Its just a number at the end of the day. If a player can't handle the number on his back then he is not mentally strong. Having a number 10 sells more shirts. Nothing more, nothing less. Give it to him. No brainer. Not many teams refuse to have a number 10 anyway. Only Napoli did in...

As a base case, Berrardi joining is remote and not desireable. However, if the terms means he is very inexpensive and his expectations are that of what an Iling Junior or Weah were expecting in terms of relevance and appearances, then I'm ok with it - in that case he would be a low risk wild card.

Completely dude - in an open market economy absolutely. The great successes of the US economy all came from the government doing NOTHING. Its a different story for controlled economies like China where the government plays a far bigger role.

I am no Trump fan and generally the state of US politics is sub-optimal but the whole idea that if Trump wins the world goes to shit is also completely overstated. In fact, the role of government in general is overstated. Yes Trump is unlikeable - a narcissist? absolutely. But ultimately...

This whole rhetoric that the number 10 adds to much pressure is pathetic. He is a professional footballer who had to deal with much bigger pressure just to get into the senior squad and play for Turkey as a starter at the Euros at the age of 19. This nostalgia with the number 10 is stupid...

I think it depends on the context. Berardi is a gamble squad player in my view given his recent injury. So if say, Soule goes and we keep Chiesa or vice versa or we sell both and get Sancho.....we still need another winger. If Berardi comes cheap and with low salary, then maybe we have...

Who the hell knows. Maybe the whole Chiesa fiasco is a way to get him to sign a contract at his current salary without a pay rise and still get Sancho (given that Kostic and Iling Junior are out) with Soule going out to help get Koopmeiners.

Sorry is 5.5m gross. My apologies. 3m net

His value in the books is 12m and earns 5.5m net a year. If Koopmeiners arrives……we have Koop, Luiz, Thuram, Fagioli with Miretti, Adzic and Nonge. I don’t see how you can pay this guy that salary for being a squad player. If someone is willing to pay anything close to his value on...

To be honest I have no clue how good or bad he is. However he fits the profile of what I think we may go for. We know about Sancho already but if we let go of Soule, Chiesa and Milik, I suspect Motta wants someone who can play wide and also as a centre forward. So it could be someone similar in...

I think most would prefer Soule to stay but we should not lose sight of the forest for the trees. If his sacrifice helps lead to a better overall squad then I’m all for it. Its hard to criticise any one transfer decision in isolation until we see what the squad looks like after the last day of...

Danilo is probably going to be used as a centre back according to rumours. Adeyemi would probably also be a back up centre forward (of course this is pure speculation at this stage). I wouldn’t be surprised is we go for a cheap centre forward with a strong work ethic or some exciting young...

Ignoring the players the were not part of our team last year (such as Soule and Barrenechea)…. If the following transfers conclude: IN: Di Gregorio, full back?, Todibo, Luiz, Thuram, Koopmeiners, Adzic, Sancho, Adeyemi Other next next gen inclusions: Savona and Nonge OUT: Szczesny, De...

They are just looking after their own interests. Why not take 50m from Arsenal compared to our 35m from us. Would have been different if Cala insisted on Juventus but he didn’t. We should be indifferent if Bologna offers us a fair price.

If that is true, I would argue we still need another winger and a full back and another striker if we plan to offload Milik. That is another 3 players or 2 if we find someone who can play 2 of those roles (such as a striker who can play wide or a full back who can play attacking wide)...

Ultimately, they deserved it. Even though I ridicule England's lack of success since 1966, I kind of do feel sorry for them.
