Yeah, you're right. We've conceded 34 goals this year while Milan has 19 and Roma- amazing 14. Roma also scored more than Milan- 62 vs 57.
Going back to Juve, I don't think it's plain defence's fault. I think poor performance of both defense and midfield (caused mainly by injuries) lead to our downfall.

Kily Gonzalez IS good! At least he was in Spain
And Birindelli, although not outstanding, could come in very very handy. As a sub and when needed, he gets the job done. I won't sell him.

Here are 3 major reasons why I believed Juve strugged in 98/99.
1) Del Piero's injury. (Some of you guys may not believe it but he was the best Juve player prior to injury and probably with the exception of healthy Ronaldo back then the best player in the world).
2) Lippi saga
He publicly stated that it was his last season, which meant he lost the commitment from his players not to mention distractions that followed.
3) Loss of form by Zizou.
As I can recall, Zizou was extremely poor in that season and showing some signs of burning out.
chaotic
Next season, we had new coach with his position secured, Alex came back but not as good, and Zizou returned to his best.
If Alex was half as good as his pre-injury form, we would have won the title. So in the transfer market, we only had to modify certain areas in the team such as side position, and back up attacker.
The situation is different in the sense that
1) The loss of form by other top players is more to do with age than burning out
2) We dont have any player to comeback from major injury
3) Our managerial system isnt chaotic
4) We dont have fundamental area to build on (Lotti had defence and midfield as a starting point)
Which means that internal solution to our decline is limited, and more drastic change is needed.
