And you think defensive organization is easy with the likes of Doni, Mexes, Chivu and Cicinho? Spalletti turned a dud like Mancini into a player Lyon bid 25 million for, turned Taddei into a tie-winner in the Bernabeau, and turned a former right-back in Perrotta into a trequartista. What kind of trequartista you think he'd turn Diego into? He wanted Giovinco on loan after his season at Empoli too. I don't need to see what he does in Russia, I saw what he did in Italy.

With the talent and money available here, Spalletti would take us to the top of the mountain and into a serious CL side again. No doubts in my mind.

Mexes, Chivu and Cicinho were all highly rated players, deservingly, before they went to Roma. Then Spalletti ruined them as he has no idea whatsoever how to organize a back four.

If Spalletti believes fielding Totti as a lone striker and using Perrotta, a talentless clown as a trequartista is going on the right path, then I'm afraid to see what he'd do with Diego and more money at his disposal.

Rubbish coach with a loser's face.

One moment people are asking for a "winning" coach, next thing you know they are asking for Spalletti. Safe to say, things aren't going well with us right now.

So far, Spalletti has never shown me to be a better manager than the much criticized Ranieri.

Ranieri was a horse's ass who was so predictable that we only came in 2nd last year thanks to someone else coming in and solidifying 6 much needed points at the end of the season.

You act like Ranieri would have been a guaranteed Group winner every season because the team outperformed itself on two occasions. Do you need to be reminded that the team was lucky to beat Zenit in the opener thanks to a Del Piero free kick? Do you need to be reminded that they drew BATE twice. They won because they were motivated against Real and because the rest of the group got the results necessary for us to claim top spot. Analyze the whole situation and the performances. We looked good twice and frankly it was ADP that secured our three wins. He was injured for Ciro the majority of the time.

Ranieri did a good job at Juve. I'll always respect him for that, no matter what idiots say. Ciro brought us six points towards the end of last season, yes. But that had nothing to do with him being the coach. Look at him now. Ranieri build a solid team with average players. To say the success (yes, success) we achieved after being promoted to Serie A is the players achievement only is moronic. The problem was that we achieved more than we should have in the first season after Calciopoli that people thought we would win something in the next. His reign wasn't without faults, but it wasn't a disaster as some blind fools make it out to be.

if Ranieri had this squad, I have absolutely no doubt we would have been closer to Inter and topped our CL group
We wouldn't lose by more than a goal or two. That I'm sure of.

We made such a big fuss when we drew 7 games in a row. How many have we lost now? 4 out of 5?

And not to mention how we played against Chelsea in the second leg, even with 10 men in the second half. We went down fighting. And our players didn't smile when we lost.

:agree:
And one of them was a 1:4 home defeat that meant a CL elimination.

Anyway, during his time in Roma, in 14 rounds, Ranieri has a 7-4-3 (22:14) record. During the same time, last 14 rounds, Ferrara has a 7-3-4 (25:18) record.
Ranieri is better, even with an inferior team :wallbang:

I don't think Ranieri had it in him to win anything (other than maybe a Coppa) with us. He had to go, but to say he was rubbish is something I will never accept.

indeed, many non-Juve fans also praised us for our spirit and determination in the Chelsea matches...our luck really deserted us that night :sad:
I still watch the goals and highlights of that match every time I nearly suffer a heart attack watching Juve play these days. Iaquinta's celebration :touched: DP's coolly taken penalty :touched:
