Millions in Jersey will rejoice. Streets will be flooded with runaway makeup and mascara from the happy tears, tattoo parlors will frantically order more green, white, and red ink to fulfill the needs of all the guidos and guidettes wishing to express this monumental event by forever stamping it in their bodies.

A delightful day it shall be.

Nevermind.
Some people like to be raped or seeing one happen.

I think Ogbonna will get his spot once he plays in a better league. Serie B is the hurdle; he still doesn't prove anything by playing in a lower league.
Agreed, but do you think Ogbonna deserves it more than Bonucci?

like my logic :D

Oh, and welcome:drill:
Thanks for the welcome! I feel very welcomed already!

Italian starters tonight:

Buffon; Cassani, Barzagli, Chiellini, Balzaretti; De Rossi, Pirlo, Montolivo; Aquilani; Giovinco, Cassano

8 of the players former or current Juventus players.
Well, I would consdier Giovinco still ours, though not playing with us, we still own half of him so...

isn't rossi slighty injured :seven:
I hope pirlo will be subsitute during the game :xfinger:
I hope so too, he does deserve lots of rest, he's played each game as a starter since pre-season and all fixtures this season, not to mention internationals. I know at his position he does need to be very mobile, but the man needs some rest, especially that we got a game coming up against Chievo this weeked. Though, Prandelli today answered the media's concern over Pirlo playing even today, and Prandelli said... he is a Must. So sadly he's starting, with all the alternatives... like Cigarini for example... why not play him and see how he would do...

The day we sign Rossi will be one of the greatest days in Juventuz history.
It won't be historic, but it would be a great day... haha. Finally Marotta signs a Top player, if that ever happened

Thanks a lot !

My points is, we'll never know or could give a fair judgement because they both still plays in different level of competition with each other. Bonucci faces the likes of Cassano and Ibra while Ogbonna faces some Serie B forwards. We can switch their place and maybe the results won't be so different.

Basically then, Bonucci for now, then in the future when Ogbonna goes to Senior league, then we can judge.
We (the mere spectators) can judge but it won't be a fair one. :p
But seeing Ogbonna moving to higher league inevitable (either with Torino who's leading or by moving to bigger team), Prandelli should give chance to Ogbonna in international fixtures. The thing is Bonucci is lucky to have Barzagli and Chiellini as teammates because that's helping him to earn a spot since he knows better how to work with these guys.

Add the fact that Chiellini has been his mentor since the begining of his arrival to Juventus.

This is what I really love about our CB's as all of them know eachother.

Ranocchia - Bonucci
Bonucci - Chiellini
Chiellini - Barzagli

Only one is Ranocchia - Chiellini(But they understand eachother well)

Chiellini-Barzagli :tup: Can't see a better Italian CB right now besides Chiellini but Barzagli is in much better form than Chiellini and is also more solid at the moment. Juve won't even need to spend for a CB in January if Barzagli stays like this.

I like what Prandelli has done with Italy. No more big and clumsy players like Iaquinta and more technical shorties like Giovinco.

Well I wouldn't call those Prima Punta's lazy, as the likes of Iaquinta did work hard when need be. However, I do agree as the old fashion mentality of having a "Tall Player" is the only way to go. Nonetheless, it's not over as Pazzini, Matri, Osvaldo, Balotelli are all part of the squad as both call ups and depth. Add in Gilardino, Quagliarella, Borriello and etc... I'm happy now we can have a mixture of both, so we will have both flare, speed, technical, dribbling and finishing making our attack complete.
