    that would make sense, mate...and its fine, as long as we are keeping Trez.

    There is zero chance of the Gio plus Almiron plus cash deal for Cassano holding any truth...Its as likely as Momo scooping the capocannieri crown this season...What seemed most interesting about today's crop of stories was Floccari's apparent move to Genoa, talked of Laurentis...if Floccari is...

    A sound point to make, Alen. Not just in terms of charisma, but in terms of winning mentality...Mourinho is a coach who demands success. Ranieri is a coach...who tinkers and remains proper.

    You have strange eyes OR you don't understand the game. To suggest such a gap between two very average players is ridiculous. Thuram is a football god to grygera, not Molinaro. I am not talking just about position, but mainly talent in his field of expertise. I have seen Grygera perform...

    I am with you on these points, Lion. we have made sterling PROGRESS. And while its very easy to slip into the routine of forgetting our demotion and dismemberment, once we take on board what happened to us, the players we lost, the money we lost, our present progress seems splendid. I...

    I can see clearly the truth of your first point, Sadomin, but the second point doesn't feel or look correct. If he knew that our fullbacks were weak...all of them, Molinaro, De Ceglie, Mellberg, Grygera, Zebina...he would surely have replaced them either last summer, or this january. With...

    As long as we grab Silva, Diego or Ribery, and also at least on decent defender, I will be happy with the Cassano part exchange with Almiron. We don't need him as much as we need players in other positions, that is obvious, but he can be a wicked player on his day and he will certainly add some...

    I wouldn't mind him alternating with Del Piero. I also think he could tempt Ranieri to go berserk and try a 4-3-1-2, in which Giovinco could share the behind the strikers role with Cassano, also gaining more playing time on the left wing, if Silva gets injured or scalped. I quite like that...

    Its lovely news. Warming to the heart...but if we do get Cassano, surely he will expect to play, and who would lose out...Del Piero, Amauri, Trezeguet, Iaquinta +Cassano. Someone must be leaving. Most likely Iaquinta. As he seems fourth choice after DP, Trez and Amauri. And would be relegated...

    The only reason to think that there could be some truth to this horrible suggestion is:> The Board wants Cassano. If we dont get him this Summer, he may go to another top team and our chances of getting him after that will be slim to none, unless he wreaks havoc and gets himself kicked out. To...

    It would certainly rank as one of the worst managerial decisions I have seen of any club for quite some time. We send him out on loan. He does well, returns to the fold, accepts that if he is to play he must knuckle down, work hard in training, and then take any opportunity he gets, which is...

    Giovinco-Cassano swap suggested Friday 20 March, 2009 Juventus are reportedly planning a summer assault for Sampdoria star Antonio Cassano and could even offer co-ownership of Sebastian Giovinco. The Bianconeri have made no secret of their admiration for former Real Madrid man Cassano...

    Cassano could be good at the end of next season, when DP's star is fading more quickly...until then though, our main focus must be to shore up the defence. and to allow Giovinco to shine more often...what we have been lacking this season is someone creative, fast and capable on the ball, to move...

    Aha! that would explain the Gaddafi photo as your avatar, mate...I would be very interested in learning more about Libya, not in terms of football but politics and the general current state of play there.

    I was too young to be aware back then of the importance of following roots to the ground nearest where my blood originates. I saw Kohler's intimidating tash, Julio Cesar's gangly dhalsim-esque legs, Moller's fearsome nazi posture and simply knew that Juve were for me. It took me a few more...

    Del Piero is a great man. A better man...a different species...he exudes virtue, as a man. Yet at times, especially this last season, I have seen too many Juve games in which he has done little to nothing in regards to threatening the opposition. He has lost more pace this last season than at...
