I think Bonucci did OK last season, Elvin...in a defence which struggled regularly due to: 1. no regular right back...instead a young centre back playing as a CB to the right of the CBs. 2. only one month with a left back, the rest of the season basically with one named on the team sheet, but...

do you not see Marotta and Conte focused on defence?? we have signed the swiss national fullbacks, both right and left sided. Yes, i can see how only the Lichsteiner...suggests a serious attempt at improving a position of woe, to classy, whereas I can also admit and perhaps hope, that Zielger's...

Agreed on the folly of my optimism, Cron!...but Vidal, Bastos and one huge signing seems likely. I doubt we will get Aguero, but as things stand, saying we only add in Bastos and Vidal...we still have improved a lot on last season's team. I also believe that Conte will be more useful at keeping...

I highly doubt that we will sign Vucinic, Bastos and Cerci, as they all would seem earmarked for the same role. But then again, perhaps Conte is aiming for the perfect situation of two decent players battling for each position. With Bastos the obvious choice for the wide left forward in a 4-2-4...

FUCK...I have just realized how long ago I began this thread...march, 2010. And yet we seem no further along the path towards recovery. Still, no joy or satisfaction can come from whining, so onto more positive matters... Cheers for the input, King Ale. Both fullback positions have been...

well put, mate...and an interesting read. Although I wasn't directly criticizing the encouragement of short attention spans, as I have no problem reading short posts about juventus matters. That is fine, and I am glad that for example, melo doesn't take 50 lines to tell us we are linked with...

I like Cronius. He is one of very few members who I generally agree with, and who also writes 100% about juve, rather than involving himself in the virtual ball-licking and sycophantic horrorshow that spoils so many threads on here. I should take a leaf out of his book on such a stance really...

:ahmed:brilliant posts as always, lads...keep up the good work

When delneri realized that he considered lanzafame not even worth a proper roll of the dice, Martinez couldn't play as a traditional attacking and defending, touchline hugging winger, and pepe could...do little else other than try hard, he opted to change the formation to a awkward 4-3-3. This...

Fuck..last night, was the first time in following this club for 14 years, that i began watching a game, but didnt finish. Early in the second half I just couldn't take any more. whilst the players MUST shoulder much of the blame for the humiliating shambles we witnessed yesterday, as they all...

A quick analysis of what we need, and a request for anyone more knowledgable than me on the True potential of our primavera players... Our problems: Lack of a prima punta- Vinny Cenzo is a battering ram, who when fit, will score goals, but nowhere near to the rate of our unfortunately departed...

Two months since my last post in this thread, and I am happy to write that both my mood and hopes, rooted in Juve, have taken a definite upturn from where they were in late September. Sitting 4th in the league, on the back of a lengthy unbeaten run, praiseworthy performances and results against...

I thought I would continue this thread's life as our Renovation period is undoubtedly still very much where we are and look like staying for a while yet...Hopefully not the 'many years' that I have read many members suggesting. We have all been disappointed by the results achieved so far this...

Cheers, Zach...and I agree with you, regarding the huge importance of a manager capable of galvanising his troops. Perhaps its just blind hope, but part of me truly believes that Del Neri IS capable of creating a team. and that team of in the least achieving a comfortable top 3 finish.

With the transfer deadline to pass at midnight, now is the time for the last minute reinforcements to be located and procured. So what do we need? and what have we done so far??? The arrival of Aquilani was a pleasant surprise, but seems to have appeared at the expense of Diego, who Del Neri...

I hope your humour is a million miles away from reality, Noussa! Now...onto where we are at, in terms of the summer mercato and the renovation, that has been taking place since the end of last season. Now that the Dzeko business seems to be dying down, I am madly focused on Krasic. Especially...

Although its yet unclear, as to what formation Del Neri is working towards, his work with Marotta so far, has impressed me. For they have moved, hard and fast, to improve areas of the team where ALL formations require more strength than we have had for a while. Namely, at right back...

So for sure...so far...we Have: sold Molinaro for 4m. Loaned Pepe for a year (2.5m) with rights to buy (a further 7.5m) grabbed Martinez (10-12m) Coming back to us: GK Mario Kirev (from Thun) GK Giorgio Merlano (from Canavese) GK Andrea Pozzato (from Canavese) DF Lorenzo...

Pepe seems to be our first purchase of the new regime, and understandably, after so much talk of dzeko, krasic, even aguero...the name pepe, seems to deflate the Many. I prefer to be content that we are strengthening a part of the team. Camo has been near corpse like for so long now, that its...

Finally its ended...a season of nothing but misery and horror. Now is the time to begin rebuilding, starting with stripping away the dead wood, isolating our key foundations and adding fresh, eager blood to the ranks. Heading through the squad, separating the Useful from the Wretched...
