    Juve will search new Brazilian talents

    Whatever one's preferences regarding Brazilian players, it's great that the club are looking at South American youth talent, and placing greater emphasis on youngsters in general. The Capello (and indeed Lippi and Ancelotti) eras didn't exploit the young talent available to the club in any...

    [ITA] Serie a 2006-07

    Indeed, he's really rolling back the years these days.

    Klaas Jan Huntelaar

    Huntelaar alone would do fine, he'd be a great replacement for Trezeguet and he seems just the type of player that would suit Deschamps' plans.

    Nick Against the World

    By some measure, yes. :smile:

    god of war 2

    'd have thought topping the first installment would be nearly impossible (at least on the PS2 console) but the people at SCEA have proven me wrong yet again, the sequel is an improvement over the first and a thorough pleasure to play. Highly recommended.

    Juve want Pazzini and Montolivo

    Montolivo and Pazzini were options we looked at two years ago and passed up in favour of other options, and I cannot see why we would purchase them now especially with these inflated prices. Fiorentina are in a far better position to negotiate with us over the pair, after all.

    Lippi Back?!?

    Now why would anyone want that? Lippi's won all there is to win, his time at Juve (as manager at least) is over and done with. For better or worse, we need to move on and stop going back to Lippi whenever the next guy doesn't deliver a double every season. I'd like to think Lippi left a...

    Juventus Insist For Robinho !

    I'm not sure Robinho would be worth the excess baggage, but Diego on the other hand wouldn't be as much of a risk considering how much less he would cost.

    Platini elected UEFA President

    Candidates often make many fantastic promises and grand propositions that don't always come about after they win. This goes for both the good and bad ideas. The guy deserves a chance to prove the extent of his idiocy, so to speak.

    Lapo Elkann

    Off-field distractions, unfortunately, aren't exactly luxuries we can afford right now. For such a high profile figure he certainly doesn't seem to have any qualms about making a public fool of himself, and while in my mind it seems highly unlikely that he will be replaced anytime soon, I do...

    Sosa(not anymore) And Huntelaar Followed By Juventus

    Perhaps the question at the moment is not whether Huntelaar is good enough for Juve (which I certainly think he is), but as Jun-hide said what the team is lacking in the first place. With a looming promotion it would be all to easy to splurge on the next big thing in an eager bid to return to...

    Official: Grygera to Juve

    Grygera's a very decent option to have on the field or the bench IMO, there isn't exactly an abundance of talent available where young, cheap defenders are concerned, and he's better than most.

    Other than Juve

    Used to have a soft spot for Kaiserslautern, but not any more, somewhat unfortunately.

    More players for next season .

    I loved Deisler as well, he belongs to a rare breed of cultured German players, great set-piece taker, and an exceptional talent. Pity he had a plethora of off-field problems that's plagued his progress.

    Beckham to Juve: such a bad idea

    I like the short-term commercial viability of such a deal, but as is typical of superstars such as Beckham he brings alot of baggage, detracts attention from success on the pitch and doesn't seem to fit the mould of player we would require right now to provide the neccesary drive and dedication...

    Blu Ray Disc: The Next Generation

    Obviously for convenience's sake it would be ideal if most (if not all) major electronics and hardware players were to settle on just one format, sure competition's a good thing but not at the expense of conflicting compatibility issues and ultimately reducing the amount of content available to...

    what does the future hold for shevchenko?

    Just yesterday I heard on the radio that he's on his way to Newcastle on loan in January. :biggrin: Suffice to say he's not the Sheva we've known and feared nowadays, but if one were to but take a cursory glance at the numbers his teammate Drogba's been putting up this season, it would be hard...

    Samuel for Camoranesi

    I like the idea of getting Samuel, he's got the total package and the only thing he's lacking right now is form. But at the expense of Camoranesi? If Inter don't demand too much we should just pay for him.

    Best foreigner at the club since 1990

    Career-wise Zidane would get it obviously, he has by far the most illustrious resume of any foreigner to have played for Juve since 1990.
