    Antonio Conte - Manager - Siena

    Not wise, but 7 new players isn't why I'd discount this formation. If the finances allow, I'm pretty sure were going to have 8 new players drafted into the squad, most of them into the playing 11 seeing how weak we are in most departments. Rolando may be questionable as a starter given we spent...

    Antonio Conte - Manager - Siena

    Interesting talk of Conte wanting Ventrone on his staff. Do you guys remember that guy? 'The marine'. Pretty much the man responsible for our fitness levels back in the day, when Juventus was whipping all of Europe. Conte worked with him as a player then and wants him back now!

    Ziegler for depth and on a free, makes me wonder.

    Far fetched or possible? Bastos won't be as effective at LB but that's how the management is intending to use him I feel. He seems like a done deal and yet there are impending talks of Ribery. Buffon Cassani-Rolando-Chiellini-Bastos...

    Antonio Conte - Manager - Siena

    Not to discount Ciro's coaching abiliies, but I don't know if you noticed, when he was lost, the club was lost. Why do you think that is? It's going to be no different this time around.

    Antonio Conte - Manager - Siena

    Unfortunately this club and the people running it are not shrewd enough to gamble. They're amateurs who need to be held by the hand and shown the way by a somewhat charismatic figurehead. Perhaps in the form of a coach. Marrotta isn't like Galliani, and well out of his depth. Andrea is no Silvio...

    Antonio Conte - Manager - Siena

    Every year that goes by with such amateurish decisions makes you wonder if this club will ever regain lost glory? I have a feeling that the only way to do that will be by submitting to the new world order and selling out to a new owner. I don't think Juventus will ever be the same under the...

    Either that or he picked up Marrotta at a gay bar. And his pick up line was, I'm a 442 kinda guy, hun.

    Antonio Conte - Manager - Siena

    Apart from his history at the club, the fact that he doesn't play 3-5-2. And I don't necessarily mean as coach,but as a choice. It's a more progressive option IMO.

    Lol. Completely agree with it. My thoughts exactly! Telepathy with the c4 lot.

    Antonio Conte - Manager - Siena

    I don't see how moving from one coach who plays a 4-4-2 to another who does the same, but with less experience is going to produce better results. If the answer lies in the personnel we intend to bring in this term, then Del Neri might as well stay. I don't see Conte as a drastic improvement...

    Antonio Conte - Manager - Siena

    I wonder why they haven't signed yet then. I guess, it's contingent on Villas Boas' acceptance or refusal.

    Antonio Conte - Manager - Siena

    It's pretty obvious, we've gone for a convenient option. The juvenile supporters chant his name, he'll be the perfect puppet in the hands of Marrotta and Agnelli who refuse to do anything good for this club. He won't demand anything of them, won't push them for the players this club is worthy...

    4-4-2 and whatever Marrotta and Agnelli will tell him to play. Assuming our new model will be based on Napoli, they'll ask for a 3-5-2.

    Badly? How bad can a first discussion be? Villas Boas obviously overheard Marrotta talking about his loaned suit, before he heard anyone else in the room. :D

    Antonio Conte - Manager - Siena

    @Dru: The fact that were not willing to give him the guarantees he needs for the mercato and/or paying his buyout clause of 15m, which sounds steep - but if he clicked and was here for the better part of the decade would amount to nothing if Juve became a winning team again.

    Antonio Conte - Manager - Siena

    Conte isn't ready for a challenge like Juventus. Were going to be looking for a new coach by Christmas if they go through with this. And 1.5m? Jeez, Ranieri was paid less if I'm not mistaken. WTF are these people on? Villa Boas at least has something more concrete to show for his career. An EL...
