dream scenario...

1 - Rafa comes to Juve
2 - Brings Xabi Alonso, Mascherano and Torres with him
3 - Easily goes through CL qualification
4 - Gets the sack and is replaced by Mourinho :p

yep bitter is the word, his player carousel is ridic. With a team of many egos i take a true "manager". FYI he won the CL ONCE
A La Liga title with one team and 2 CL finals and a semi-final with another team at only the age of 48 not good enough?

And managers adapt. Ranieri was supposed to be the ultimate man when it comes to tinkering yet he has rarely displayed that kind of tinkering here.

If we dont get 3-4 top players for next season we will be fighting for 3-4th spot.
I can put money on it.
No one would be able to save us mind Rafa, lippi, jose..
Next season will be much harder for us, not only because of extra competition, but also because already strong 3 clubs getting very good reinforcements.

Personally i think CR will get sacked next season cos of poor results, and i would not blame him (not cos i like him - as some would say) , i would blame management for not getting right players.

Coach alone can't do much.. We excel with DP, Trez, Camo, Chiellini, Neddy, Momo..all players gave 110%..could they do the same next year???

I am sure that with some new, quality players in his disposal, Ranieri can do better than this season. So, I want Ranieri to stay for at least one more season (of course, if he brings a trophy next season or creates a very good squad he can stay for more).

Forza Ranieri!

I think the next season will be very decisive for him and also Juve. Just give this guy a break. However I can foresee some of his problems in the next season:

1. How will he be able to manage our defend? If we want CL or Scudetto, it's crucial to strengthen our defend far better than this season.

2. Will Alex be able to maintain red form like this? If he won't, then who will be able to take his part? Iaquinta or Palladino?

3. Oh, and C. Zanetti and Neddy's positions as well, it's such a difficult tasks to solve.

Why would it suck? He's easily the better manager between him and Ranieri.

:shifty:
He is, but it would mean we'd have to start over again. Ranieri finally managed to create an imprint and some chemistry in this team, a new (better) manager would probably just throw everything around again. Especially a manager like Benitez that is even tinkier than Ranieri.

Besides, i'm curious to see what Ranieri will do with a bigger amount of better players. Ranieri made quite a few silly errors along the way, but he did get the team to play football in a way Deschamps and Capello struggled.

and off we go again. people saying "blame our management for not getting the right players" and "dp, trez can't repeat their performances"... what's going on??? The transfer window is not even open yet, and some are already complaining. I do believe that we will make some important signings, i trust them; amauri is pretty much a done deal, then a CM/AM player (aquilani, xabi alonso, ???) and a defender (probably LB/RB). That's what they were saying since the beginning.

Let's all wait and see. there's a european cup coming up, let's not forget that; and there will be the usual 'unknowns' who can shine and there's still so much time to get the team right.

Personally, i think it won't in any case be easy to get the scudetto next year, impossible is nothing as the folks at adidas say, but still very hard. But i believe that we can at least fight for it. the CL Cup seems out of reach for at least another season (which is normal) but i do believe that we are some underdog, and that we can pull out the one or the other surprise there. As for the scudetto, it's sure that it HAS TO BE our main goal, but let's not forget that inter, roma and (above all) milan will be strengthening their squad too and that's why i'm a little worried about that. It should not be a excuse for us not winning anything but we'll surely do another great step ahead.

He wants to support them, they have taken alot of beating critically and he is just being nice. Zanetti is the only really good one of them, so he included him for other reasons then for the others.

Ranieri Tells Board: We Need More Players
Juventus boss Claudio Ranieri has told the board that he needs more players if the club are to compete on two fronts next season.
»Comments (29) Print This Story Send To A Friend Contact Us galleria zoom The Bianconeri’s first year back in top-flight football was a reasonably successful one, as they finished third in Serie A and qualified for the Champions League.

However the return to Europe’s premier club competition will make things much tougher for the Old Lady next term as they will have to fight it out on two fronts.

Ranieri believes that his current squad is not big or strong enough to make a serious impact, and he is pleading with the club’s board to make a number of transfers this summer.

"The best players for me this season were Zanetti, Molinaro, Salihamidzic and Nocerino,” said The Tinkerman.

“I would keep all of them, and the same goes for Tiago to.


“My thoughts are simple - we are not the same Juventus that we were two years ago [before Calciopoli].

“Then we had 14 champions available, I have much less and, with two competitions to be addressed, we risk getting into difficulty.

“For this reason, even if Amauri arrives, I expect other new faces."

Palermo striker Amauri is still expected to join Juventus, even if there has been yet another hold up in his proposed transfer.

its not always about good enough, and you said it yourself he will have to adapt, why the trial and error when Ranieri has done everything asked from him and more. The better choice is easily for Claudio to stay.
