There is no doubt Ciro will have the respect of all the players, but his management ideology and tactical awareness is still a mystery to us all, which I suppose we'll only really find out in pre season friendlies. I'll give him my full support, im not entirely happy with the appointment but I'l back him none the less.

But you can see Pep's style for Barca, nice quick swift passing, we wont see Ciro's style unitl pre season friendlies!

My only worry is that Ciro is too sympathetic, too nice. That's the impression I get from him, a classy fellow through and through, and I have a hard time seeing him handle the pressure that follows if the team start off the season in an unimpressive manner.

Come on. Have you ever heard of someone named Ranieri?

I think he will have a style very similar to Lippi as he was his coach for so long and mentor as a young coach. So good defence, strong dynamic midfield and clinical attack. A team built for results.

I don't really see what Pep has implemented at Barca...they just have more dynamic players than last season
It does when you consider the material he had in hand.
And the frequency such a thing happens in teams with our "handicaps"...
thats true, u cant really say pep is the only one behind barca's success this year, i strongly believe in the opinion that says that pep is a great man manger but an average tactician. off course he fed his players the wining mentality and made sure they were fired up for each and every game not to mention he kept there reality checks on at all time specially when it came to the club being bigger than one single player. i think that's the main reason he had the season he had. would he be this good had he managed a different team with out world class players in every single line apart from the gk?? time will tell i suppose.

Honestly, I have yet to see a team that has been a clear class above us in the past 2 seasons...

i dont quite get this one ahmed?

Esteban, i prefer an intelligent nice guy than a retarded nice guy (CR). Thats for sure.

About cronios comments. Yes u have all the reasons to say that. he has not coached ever.... that is enough to say that we have an uncertain future in the next campaign..

But let me tell you something, at least in serie A.... we are not overly outclased by anyone...this last title was lost not only because of our defence but because a lot of factors...and we surely did had enough quality to pose a dangerous thread to inter.

In my opinion.... it doesnt matter the coach.... if this team fails.. it would be because of the lack of good defenders...and not even the best coach would be able to put the likes of MOli and Legro on world class level.

We saw Ciro doing some good job in the defence in the last 2 games...(yes they were sub par enemies) but the fact is still there. And from some years we have been claiming that it would be good to have a not so experienced coach but eager for succes thana old coach with old mentality.
This time we maybe over did it with Ciro..... but i really believe that if we get the right replacements in defence.... We will not need a magical coach to field a competitive juventus team.

If the Mercato finishes with us gettign a great defense... we will have a lot of competive players, making Ferrara´s choices much easier....and ferrara is also not alone there.

Putting the right players here and there....and pumping our players for thegames will surely make us look much better than we did this season, without the need to have a capello or a mourinho.

That doesn't mean anything, plus not everything you see on tv gives you the right impression.

Too many coaches don't give you good impression about their character yet they have achieved many things.

Your posts are shrinking man...
He has got less to complain about....still he will always find something.


Diego...not good enough.
Cannavaro...not good enough, too old.
D'agostino....nope, not good enough
Criscito....still not the answer to our defense
Ciro...unproven, not good enough for Juve
Salvio...too risky, still need more defenders
Pandev...not good enough, not what we need, need defenders
Benzema...worldclass, wouldn't help us...not good enough
Amauri...scored plenty even had assists....waste of money


I guess who we have bought, looking to buy or rumored to buy will never be good enough for Cron even though we have extremely bolstered our midfield with Diego/maybe D'ago which will finally be able to link our defense and offense together (which no one could do consistently last year in midfield) all the while we have brought back Cannavaro to help out in defense which still will not help apparently. The reason our defense struggled (apart from "mediocrity") is in my opinion that fact that midfield was always bypassed and we never were able to control the tempo or possession of the ball and we were always put back under immediate pressure when horrible long balls from the defense as they had no one in front of them that wanted to receive the ball. Finally, we will have people that WANT the ball to their feet and can dictate and take the pressure off of our defense finally along with a strong ass attack line that we spent on last summer so we WOULDNT have to this summer for that very reason while having a Buffon-Chiellini-Cannavaro trident at the back with too worldclass (one almost) CM/DMs destroying the opposition to help out our attack minded players and playmakers...but none of that is good enough for Cron because none of the players mentioned is his beloved RB that we so very need as our season will be an immediate failure without one.

I guess if we had kept to Cron's plan and only signed defenders we would perhaps have a better back line but a uncreative midfield that wouldnt know what to do with the ball at their feet just like last year. So again, even with a strong backline we would be sending balls aimlessly over the midfield with hopes of landing on our forwards head or feet only to lose possession again to put our NEW and IMPROVED back line under immediate pressure again and those amazing counterattacks to we get caught on because we still have a transparent midfield.

I don't know how some of you whom complain about this summers (even last summers) transfers do not see the big picture now. We spent millions on Amauri to create a ferocious 4 attack line that could be the best...nay, would have been the best had we had midfielders that could deliver Camo-esque precision passing. Now they have that...our fantastic 4 up top will have Camo, Diego, D'ago, Gio, Marchisio all serving delicious 5 course meals on silver platters for our attack...goals will be flying in this year. On top of our new attack minded/playmaker mids we have dedicated Marines in Marchisio/Poulsen/Sissoko to go balls out to protect our defense and clean up any mess. THEN we have potentially for at least a year an absolutely deadly CB pairing that any team would die for along with the best GK in the world. Now bring back Criscito to lock up the left side, a Camo back-up and Cron's oh-so-needed RB and we have a sweet ass mercato. But lets not trust in Zebina if he is fit. Oh no, someone whom shut all of us up with his last performance...maybe it was luck, probably some crazies on this forum will say that. Zebina when on his game is great. You take any risk buying a player that he could be susceptible to injuries. Diego could be, Canna could become injury prone...Zebina may never get injured again, who the hell knows. I am tired of rambling on....fuck it, our board is doing great so far...especially if Criscito gets back, D'ago joins...etc

Now we have Ciro...a fan favorite, part of our glory days...and RESPECTED by our players and our youth. Who gives a crap if he has no experience. All great coaches started somewhere all because someone gave them a chance.

:tup:

And that's all that needs to be said. At least Ciro has experience in the game of football, and has a good head on his shoulders. He should be a good breathe of fresh air for the team and his heart will shine bright in the end.

I'd rather have someone with heart for Juventus than someone who has no love at all.

The last time we turned to a coach with hardly any experience he gave us six titles in ten years...

Very good look, Asif. Although Giovanni had a couple years of experience at Milan beforehand, sporadic at best, you're still correct. It's a similar situation, so we just have to wait and see.
