    Whenever we play 4-3-3, we lose control of the midfield and the whole team is in disarray. Certainly, but if he does not perform, then we will have a crappy defence and attack. At least with Amauri and Iaquinta, we are certain to score so the attack is still good. Some preseason training may...

    Nope, Giovinco was crap as a striker. He does not hold the ball like Del Piero nor does the defence give him space in the middle. His good performances came from the AM role.

    I agree Giovinco should be played more, but it is pretty clear that Ranieri prefers to strengthen his defence so Nedved is always there. Giovinco isn't a right winger so he cannot replace Marchionni, even if he had 2 assists against BATE. We expected him to play in the Coppa only anyway, so he...

    We could dream of the title in the first year? I thought someone claimed Juventus would be in 7th position. I don't think anybody thought it was realistic. A dream yes, but there is only a .01% chance of that happening. We have added many starters or potential starters. Andrade, if fit, could...

    Yes world-class players are able to add something immediately but you can only buy one per year which means that that spot is covered but all the others are vulnerable. We could have added Daniel Alves but when Trezeguet or worse ADP gets injured, who will replace them? The search for reserves...

    You prefer having 1 world-class acquisition instead of buying a few subs and getting world-class players in areas we are strong in. That is good in the pre-Calciopoli days. However in this era, we are not strong in many areas. As said Del Piero is already 34 while Trezeguet is 32. Ryan Giggs...

    I doubt so. We could have bought a Dossena, in which case it would have been a waste as well.

    He has the potential. But he needs guidance.

    Zlatan won't leave his favourite club unless they somehow get relegated. Then he will search for a new favourite club.
