Sorry if it's repetitive, but I've only now signed up on Juve specific boards. Up until now I've been alone in a sea of newly converted EPL fans on the sporting sub-boards of sites not dedicated to football. I don't doubt many others have felt something like this, tho I couldn't be sure, but I...

The 2009 season, when we were chasing the scudetto, I found myself wondering, "what then? This is not enough." For so many years I strutted, confident in the knowledge my club was best, most historic, in the top league in the world. But Serie A is no longer the top league. To go from best in the...

I would have mentioned Asian player also but Korea is probably the best bet for this purpose and Italy collectively shot itself in the foot where that country is concerned. /shakes head I really want an American on the squad though. It's not just kits and whatnot, we want mentions on ESPN etc...

Can we get an American/MLS player at some point, for marketing/revenue purposes? I'd really like to see that happen.

Until there's concrete evidence we can do better than this guy, let's at least fake some enthusiasm for a probable Juve shirt wearer next season, is what I say. He's off to a good start with me, anyway, he did say "No one can say no to a Juventus shirt." Which is so untrue and yeah it's press...

I know Adebayor's got major issues, I know it's a coin flip as to whether he helps us or gives us cancer. But this is still a guy who enters a UCL semi when his team needs goals. Let's remember Clough's golden rule: buy the emotional f*ck-ups, you get talent for cheap. I don't think we can do...

Can we pick him up then? Yeah. Nothing against those guys but £26m or whatever it is to keep them yeah? Wow I;d hate to see that. I;d prefer a single world talent for that price.

33 yr old Heinze? I do like him but we seem to be stockpiling pensioners. Does that save us money on a bench? Even if xfer is free don't these guys want high wages?

Iirc in one of those wins Storari made save after save. I think Roma? I don't know that I want to play that match over and over. Doesn't seem like a big sample to work with also. Maybe enough to give it more of a look. But I'm not sold on it, though you obviously know your stuff and I have no...

What are the stats? I remember some big wins, looking great on the counter, but I also recall a lot of oppo shots on goal and thinking this can't work long term, only in select matches. As much as I dislike Delneri I don't think he simply abandoned a winning approach through caprice, I think he...

Well I don't want to play a 4-3-3 period. Works great for a few, the rest turn into sieves and get destroyed.

Actually didn't Italy try that in the World Cup? I seem to recall him playing CM in 4-2-3-1 and then on the left in a 4-4-2 and sucking badly in both roles. But those matches are hazy for me, not memorable matches. There's a reason why I ended up with 4-2-3-1 with him at DM, there was a process...

Why would Inler come here rather than Napoli? He didn't celebrate his goal against them... Spurs are interested in Inler I hear also. Ok maybe it makes no sense lol, I did throw in Pirlo's name in there too. I just want Marchs to start and the 4-4-2 with Melo didn't work. I was hoping a...

Just for the purpose of pairing Marchs with Melo at DM. That's the only way I can think of to do it. Does that really make no sense at all lol?

So I'm the only guy who wants Adebayor? Do I have that right? That's why I want to play a 4-2-3-1, to make room for Marchisio, who I think is one of our starter caliber players. Am I again the only guy who likes this guy lol? But I must confess I'm as drawn to Marchi's bio as his play...

No not really lol. The past few years have resulted in seriously lowered expectations. Past few years, it's all been reading fantasy threads followed by cold hard reality. Stop hurting me please. Who can we really get that's better? is my reference point these days. In the Aguero thread someone...

This is why I plug for Michel Bastos: http://www.sport.co.uk/news/Football/53191/Exclusive_Agent_confirms_United_and_Chelsea_interest_in_Aguero.aspx I don't pretend to know the market at all, which is why I'm so clueless on current values, I only ever look at guys we are actually looking at...

Ok I have to defend the guy who said "No player can turn down the Juventus shirt." http://www.imscouting.com/global-news-article/Top-20-IMScouting-Players-To-Watch-Part-III/8875/ This art is from a year ago, and iirc he suffered a major injury since? I'm fine with you guys saying he's worth...

I may be the only lunatic who'd pay through the nose for the guy but c'mon now, that's ridiculous.

We'd have to pay that much? I know that's what his buyout is but let's be reasonable. http://tribalfootball.com/articles/atletico-madrid-striker-aguero-juventus-shopping-list-1603211
